Recovery Mode on tablet with no volume buttons?

Question


  • I have a Yarvik TAB10-201. The default launcher is corrupted.


    • I can get the tablet onto the recovery screen (Dead Android with red
      exclamation mark).

    • I can't bring up the options menu without volume up and down keys.

    • I can see the device in Android Multi Tool, but when doing wipe data, it just restarts back into recovery mode.

    • Rockchip does not detect the device for rooting as I can't hold volume up on boot.

    • I can see the device running ADB devices (shows as recovery status).

    • ADB reboot bootloader just turns the device off.

    • fastboot devices returns no devices.

    • I have the default ROM for the Yarvik tablet, but unsure how to flash if fastboot is not locating the device.




What other options do I have to recover? I am happy to root or recover.
I can't access the OS at all, on boot it just throws errors regarding the launcher.

Answer

Thanks to esQmo for helping me look for a solution.



Turns out it was a Windows 8 problem, I switched to a different PC using Windows 7 and had no problems with RKBatchTool. For some reason even with correct drivers installed that worked when the tablet was plugged in, when the tablet was in Flash Mode Windows 8 had problems with the USB drivers.



For anyone that comes across this question.



I got the stock Firmware for Yarvik TAB10-201 from here.



I used RKBatchTool 1.7 and the RKB Driver Assistant for the drivers.
