Yes, I entered into fastboot mode on the nabi. In fastboot mode, using OnePlus One, I now cannot see the device in the ADB Devices nor in the Fastboot devices.

For completeness, on the Nabi, there is the following text:

IFWI VERSION: 01.70

SERIALl_NUM: DT08A....

DROIDBOOT VERSION 2.0

There is another program I've tried called IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.

When using this program, I used the following options:

5 cwm.zip

T3 . launch using oem stop_partitioning trigger

When the Nabi reboots, I now see the following options:

- reboot system now

- install zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache parition

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advance

In this mode, I don't think that I can do anything becuase the OEM isn't unlocked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
Ahh, I re-read your problem from the beginning and as Aicjofs pointed out you have an Intel version of the dream tab...I see you have the program from the link he gave you...have you put the UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip on the sdcard of the tablet yet? Tried to use the install zip option to install it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muldoon:
Thanks so much for taking the time and trying to help me sort this out!

Yes, when I selected the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, it was successful. I selected that Yes, fixroot (/system/xbin/su) and then I rebooted the Nabi.

During the startup, it said "Android is upgrading...." After it booted, I checked root using Root Checker and it wasn't rooted.

I've also tried a scenario where I turned off the Wifi and unplugged the Nabi from the PC when rebooting. Even then it still wasn't rooted..

I wondering if it is because I'm on Product Version 1.3 and aicjocs stated he has only tested it versions 1.0 and 1.2?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muldoon:
I reread this post,http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096 , and noticed that SuperSU wasn't installed on the Nabi. I manually installed it and it is now rooted!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
Good deal, glad you got it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muldoon:
Hopefully this will be my last question. :)

I want to put a de-bloated image on it; during my research I've downloaded several zip files (2311stock.zip, 2311addon.zip, and KK3.0.13.zip). According to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57825022&postcount=25, aicjofs stated that he was in the process of creating a recovery.zip files. I followed the thread to end, but didn't see anything about it (I could have very well missed it...).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
I don't think they've unlocked the bootloader for your tablet yet, have they? And those ROM's, are they specifically for the intel dreamtab?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
There are no ROM's debloated or otherwise for the Intel Dreamtab.

You can debloat if you delete the right files. Beware though since you would be breaking new ground there is the possibility of soft brick if you delete the wrong ones. I have a backup up the system partition, and I also posted it somewhere(probably the Nvidia Dreamtab TWRP thread.). I never made a backup of addon(preload) partition though. It's not like me or another with a working tablet couldn't get you a backup should it come to that. I'm just preaching caution about what you delete since you will be venturing in to uncharted territory.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muldoon:
Ah. Thanks for the replies! It looks like my journey may have come to an end then...

What I was really hoping for is to be able to get the first 10 screens of garbage off so it would be less "childish" for my 8 year-old.

Oh well. If you ever need a Guinea pig, then let me know

That worked great for me.

Thank you very much. I have the SNBJR-MT5C 8GB version, which I brought from Aliexpress.

A number of things dont work as I am not located in the USA so could not enter billing information, so many of the built in apps dont work at all.

Device Rooted.

Installed the files, and Google Play works! It asked me to create/use a google account, all looking good so far!!

Google Play working great, and Youtube app etc working well.

I then installed 'System App Remover' from google play, and uninsatlled the bloatware which I did not want for my kid. Fooz Kids and all sorts of other things. They then disappeared off the home screen pages in Nabi Mode.

Awesome.

Thank you!

The link to the zip in the original post doesnt seem to work anymore. It redirects to realtors.com or something. Does anyone have a mirror download?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Care if you walk me through using Wireshark on this? I have a Nabi SE and an American Girl SE running what appears to be the initial firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I don't have much time right now, but I'll post more later. The general idea is to attach a laptop via Ethernet to your internet, get some software that allows your WiFi to be setup as a hotspot, connect the tablet to the laptop hotspot WiFi then let the table do an update. Sniff the http in Wireshark. It's best to do it before the tablet received an update so you know the actual file it's pulling down. Otherwise you will get a "go no go" url that says if there is an update or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
I'll see what I can do with that one. :)

EDIT: Got these URLs upon running the system updater through a packet sniffer:

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/NBTY07SMKG/US-AG/6.0/3.0.9/updates.json?

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/NBTY07SMKG/US/6.0/3.0.10/updates.json?

Visiting those URLs yields "status: ok updates: null", and it happens even on the ones you linked to. Any way to get the actual FOTA URLs and not just a json?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Yea it's a "true" false URL, which tells you if you need an update or not. So from looking at what you have an American Girl SE on version 3.0.9 or 3.0.10 doesn't have an update available. The ones I have linked are the latest versions so they dont have an update either.

Lets look back at a Dreamtab. The Dreamtab nvidia version had 1.1.3, then a 1.2.9(while at the same time a new PCB rev came out on 1.3.0), then a final rev of 1.3.7(actually there was/is 1.3.12 that Nabi pulled)

So if a tablet on 1.1.3 it would poll this url and get the info(click link)

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/DMTAB-NV08B/US/xxx/1.1.3/updates.json?

On 1.2.9

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/DMTAB-NV08B/US/xxx/1.2.9/updates.json?

On 1.3

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/DMTAB-NV08B/US/xxx/1.3.0/updates.json?

Finally if you are on 1.3.7 then the link gives you the OK null

http://updates.fuhu.com/updates/android/DMTAB-NV08B/US/xxx/1.3.7/updates.json?

The info is human readable, then you just pull the zip url.

I can't seem to find what you need from some quick attempt either. Do you remember a software rev number it was on previous? That tablet has always been MM android right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] blakegriplingph:
Yeah, I was hoping there would be either a later or earlier revision, like in this Barbie edition Nabi demoed in their YouTube video:

My daughter has this had me reset it and does not remember her email or password so im stuck in the very first login screen is there any way around this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
My kids out grew theirs a few years ago. I recently found one in a closet and factory reset it, but couldn't get past the Nabi activation screen. Is that where you're stuck or did you make it past that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rognlorie:
Yes that's it she cannot remember her email so we're stuck and I can't turn on debugging or anything
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
Unfortunately, I don't have a device anymore to look at.

Does it give you the option to setup a new account and try "I don't have a credit card"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rognlorie:
No I'll just have to wait and call them I guess maybe there is a way they can do it I want to root it and put twrp on it but I cannot because I cannot get in to one unlock or USB debugging
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
I think calling them was where I ended up. Sorry if that's not what you were hoping to hear.

I figured you didn't have TWRP on it or else you wouldn't be in the situation to begin with.

If you can get TWRP that's always the way to go. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rognlorie:
Yeah I just have to get into it first I'll call them tomorrow thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexbobspoons2:
May I please ask, is this "Install" with TWRP or "Restore" with TWRP please? Also, does it matter what version I am currently running before I do this?

Also, currently in parent mode with KitKat there is now a silly parent-mode front screen with a different background and a load of nabi icons on it. Is there any way please to get rid of this completely to just have a normal background please?

Lastly, moving from JB to KK seems to have removed my root. Is rooting KK special? How should I do it please?

Thanks so much. My little boy has autism and hates when things change. Anything I can do to get the KItKat version looking like the Jellybean version is essential please.

Alex
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
Based on the file structure inside the .zip file I'd say it's a restore with TWRP.

You'll need to be sure you unzip the file in to the correct directory for your TWRP to see it.

TWRP->Backups->(Device SerialNumber)->

Or something like that.

I always made a backup first

(It's a good idea to have one

) and then put the new restore folder in that same directory when I copy the backup to my PC.

Whatever you do be careful. I think most of these links are dead. I'd hate for you to get in to a situation you cant get out of.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexbobspoons2:
Thank you so much. I will give this a shot. I have a spare nabi I am using as a tester before doing iit on the main one. Thanks you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexbobspoons2:
JUst so people know if they visit with this question:

Its an "Install" via twrp and you can keep it in the zip format to do this. Its essential that a good wipe is done first though otherwise it retains chunks of nabis-desktop and then tries re-downloading the missing bits.

So after making a full backup just in case.

So go into TWRP with the zip file on your sd card. Do a really good wipe in the advanced wipe settings (dont wipe external sd card). Use twrps "install" to browse to the zip and install it. Then reboot. THats what worked for me.

You still get the awful blue nabi lockscreen, not sure yet how to remove that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] texastig:
Hello everyone. I'm really late to the game for the Nabi 2. I was barely able to get past the "Looking for updates" to get the USB Debugging enabled.

Here are the specs of it:

Android version: 6.0

Android security patch level: October 5, 2016

Product Version: 3.0-release keys.

Will JIMZ's root sotware work on this?

Will this allow me to bypass ask mom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alexbobspoons2:
If you cannot get into the parents mode there is a default password of zxcv6789 which will get you into adults mode and then you can go into the settings and set the adult mode as default and it will not go back into kids mode on reboot.

The actual nabi servers are gone, so some of the ask mom things will no longer work, but having it in adult mode things are generally okay.

Hope that helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SVJeff:
I have a second hand unit that won’t reset via volume up + power. I was hoping I could get into the adult settings so I could do an Android reset from settings, but I’m stuck in kid’s mode and the default password above didn’t work. Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
Been a Looooooong time since i played with one of these.

This link suggests turning off the WiFi and using the default password again??

How to Retrieve Nabi Temporary Password?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SVJeff:
Thanks. That didn't work... I tried multiple times, turning WiFi off and trying the password, rebooting with WiFi off, any combination I could think of.

I have a second identical unit that’s stuck on the android guy laying down. There’s a Mattel page that gives a workaround for that error but it does nothing. I was just hoping to make these usable for someone again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
Have you seen this video?

it's not the same device, but it may still work:

Bypass Nabi Fisher Price pass nabi server shutdown by Mattel (YouTube)

Otherwise... if the hardware reset buttons don't work I'm not sure what to recommend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SVJeff:
Thanks. That could be helpful if I could get beyond where I am... one unit sticks at the dead Android guy and the other boots fine into child mode but I can’t get beyond that to access the Android reset option that’s apparently only available in parent mode. I could sell these for parts but I was hoping to get them reset to verify functionality before trying to rehome them to someone who could get some use out of them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SMcC2:
Unfortunately I can't think of anything else.

If you cant factory reset via hardware or software it sounds like you may be out of options.

How do I remove the vendor? I rooted my nabi2 but everytime I try to boot it I'm stuck on the nabi registration:/

Are you able to browse directories in TWRP?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] StealthyWolf:
Sorry to necobump but I need help extracting my sisters photos from the nabi2 and am unable to access parent mode. I can't reset the nabi until I get the photos off so that's not an option, since i can't accesses parent mode idk if i can use the root tool kit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] StealthyWolf:
Okay so dropping this here incase someone who needs it finds it later. I was able to get the photos off by using the mini hdmi port, a caputre card, and an hdmi splitter. The hdmi splitter is needed because of some copy protection on the capture card. Hopefully this helps someone who needs it.

Well I just got the OTA and updated but I still have the same problem of E: /SD Card (unable to mount no such location or file)

and /data (unable to mount)

Don't know if I'm going the right way with this but do you think I should try flashing a completely fresh stock ROM with a wiped system? Can you flash a ROM from adb? I'm out of ideas. I seem to be the only person whose device isn't mounting correctly and stopping me from doing what it should.

Hey jmz great work rooting and helping us sideload Gapps but I have a question for you.. I and a bunch of others have been trying to swap the Internal Storage and the Sdcard so we can have more space to install stuff since most decent apps/games are 1.2GBs + in size.. Been trying to mod the vold.fstab and all but nothing we are all trying has worked :( Can you help us out? Im sure its something easy that were just all not seeing :o we been posting about it in this thread so if u go back a few pages or so u will see what we been trying.. We also have started another thread trying to figure it out that u can check out here Nabi 2 vold.fstab
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
I really can't weigh in on it much because I have never worked on that before but I can make some points.

- vold.fstab is a good start

- I'm 75% sure you will need to edit init.mt799.rc or whatever its called in the ramdisk. Swapping the 2 storage mounts.

- it will completely break the current recovery. Well anything that has to do with sdcard

I don't really have a device to play with anymore because I did all this before they were given to my kids.

But those I pointed out are the best places to start. Like I said I have never even looked at editing the vold file before so without actually having the device in a modding state I can only speculate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dropline:
Try this..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
Hey Dropline,... Yea I was thinking the same thing just swaping that part of the code around but I have a quick question! As far as editing the code that were gunna try can I just open the "init.mt799.rc" file using Root Explorer on the tablet and edit the code like I did with the vold.fstab edits I was trying and reboot the tablet? Or do I have to edit it another way?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dropline:
I would try the same way you did the other mods. Also this is just a guess, I never modified that file before, logically it may work.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
I tried ur suggestion and nothing happened everything stayed the same :( Anything else look like we can give it a try in that files code?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dropline:
Sorry, I am at work and really busy, so can't really help much on this today. Like I said that was more of a guess, was based on what I saw looking at it for 30 secs. I think you also need to modify that other file also, I think both need to be updated to match the paths for it to work.

Maybe someone else who actually wants then swapped can try out out and chime in, I have no plans at all of doing this mod so not trying it on my daughter's nabi2. If the Nabi1 software was closer I would try there, but not going to do it on hers.

Price Point Facts

Hey guys I work at Hhgregg and I am a Home Theater and Electronics Salesman so I can weigh in on the subject with accurate information :cool: I purchased two Nabi 2 tablet's from my work of course because I would get my employee discount on them :p Anyway im going to give you guys some sensitive company profit information :angel: I'm the lead salesman at my store so I have higher "Merchandise Information Privileges" at my finger tips then the average joe...First of all the Nabi 2 is a UPP (Unilateral Pricing Policy) item. Which means the $199.99 price point is locked at $199.99 as per the manufacturer and can NOT be discounted 1 penny by any store. So the Nabi 2 is going to be the same price at EVERY store that carries it just like apple products. Secondly the Nabi 2 is listed at $199.99,... and the Landed Cost is $178.00. The Landed Cost is what EVERY store pays for each Nabi 2 Tablet. Landed Cost is VERY important to my store and every store for that fact... Hhgregg will NOT sell any merchandise under the Landed Cost and im almost 100% sure that any store also will NOT sell any merchandise under the Landed Cost. The reasons for this policy are obvious. So that being said my employee discount is not some percentage off merchandise. I just get the merchandise at the Landed Cost price which was $178.00. So the store only makes $21.99 of profit out of the Nabi 2 tablet but thats the way it is with Tablets, Laptops, Desktops, Cameras, ect there is almost no profit in those items (Hint: So dont be that guy that goes hey is that the best you can do with that price?).

P.S If a item is a UPP item you can find the UPP marking at the lower right corner of the price tag normaly. If not there it may be located in a different spot but will be definitely on the tag somewhere.
