Nokia still exists but rent out the brand.
RCA, Motorola and Akai don't exist though the brands appear.

Maybe recovery instructions for some other TCL label will work. Does the Factory reset of holding a volume button (if there are any) while pressing power work?
Yes, it's a barebone tablet but it has a metal casing and 4gb ram, 64gb memory space that I got just for Udemy/Youtube online classes. It cost me £135, which I thought was a fair price.

But you can tell they did not do much with this Android 12 update, and it is rather unprofessional of them to release a crippling firmware update like this.


I've not tried the hard manual reset yet, but I'll give it a go in a minute since it does have volume rockers. I've otherwise lost hope of making it boot up.

More hassle of returning 2 devices, to two different retailers, unexpectedly for me. I'm seething but there are worse things in life I suppose.
