all good. thanks. I will make something flashable out of this. if you don't mind do you mind uploading the other ones? I should have kept all mine but i was in a hurry to root and everything...lol

You mean data and boot? Data has some personal stuff in it...Nabi login etc.

Pretty sure this is v1.9.23 pre-root from my daughter's device. Have to remove the suffix v1923_ (wanted to differentiate the two.)

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/91720297/v1923_system.ext4.win

If there's anything else I can gather, I am rooting one for my niece (NIB from Amazon) tomorrow after work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vanhoud:
I flashed back to stock today in order to install the new ota. After installation I flashed TWRP recovery to flash Gapps but not root then I flashed stock recovery. I'm hoping this will enable me to install future otas with no issues.

Also has anyone tried any programs that move data to the SD card? The severely limited space is the only real downside for use in daddy mode
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
It will probably fail the next OTA, I think they run a checksum or size on /system and crap out if it's not right. Adding gapps to system obviously changes the size and checksum. jmz mentioned the trick was restoring system with twrp, restore recovery to stock, run OTA.

GL to SD from the Play Store seems to work fine, although I have not tested it thoroughly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
Does anyone realize that usb host mode works on this tablet? For fun I tried hooking up my cable and flash drive and voila. 1TB external drive works too. Impressive.

Edit: USB mouse works too...

Hey guys, I'm just trying to add Google Play on my sons Nabi 2, I really don't need to gain ROOT access or anything beyond that. I see that you guys have a flash-able Recovery but, like I said I am just wanting to add just Google Play.

I tired using their instructions but end result is infinite Force Close. Any suggestions into getting this to work with out breaking out my PC?

Build; IMM76L

Kernel; 3.1.10-00180-gfd34bf7

In advance, I thank you guys for any help you could provide. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
If you know fastboot flash recovery, download gapps from goo.im/gapps and flash in recovery. If not use option 2 in app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bdpyo:
Thanks for the reply. I only have access to a MAC at the moment and I have zero knowledge of it, so I will have to wait till I can bring my PC over.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Thanks

Thanks

Installed root option 2 and then gapps in recovery as suggested. Everything went great and works really well. No Wifi problems. I already had the OTA update before running root. I do have the upgrading android at every boot, which seems everyone has.

Does anyone know how to alter the vold file in system/ect so tablet will see ext sdcard as sdcard. I have changed several other devices and works great with increasing useable space in devices like this. Nabi 2 sees it as sdcard and sdcard2 instead of sdcard and ext sdcard.

Thanks for all the work on rooting.

Actually on the Nabi 2 it is sdcard and sdcard2, have switched them on vold file and reboot. I lose sdcard2 / micro sdcard altogether.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Still hoping that someone knows how to swap internal and ext sdcard. Would really help the Nabi2 on app storage space.

Does anyone have a working method to get play store purchased apps to show up under the monarch (kid mode) interface? I put the check box next to them in "add apps" but they still won't show up after 4 or 5 reboots. Permissions were fixed already and i know it has to be something really stupid.

Thanks again for the very valuable DEV work on this tab!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
They show up on mine with no special requirements.

Sent from my Ev_O_nE using Forum Runner
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mojo4321:
They should be in the Monarch app drawer if you checked them in add apps. They will not show on one of the home screens until you add them from the app drawer.

My family has 7 nabi 2, 6 purchased black Friday at bestbuy website for $130. Great deal. Otg, expansion slot, hdmi, root play store. The bumper saved many of them. No regrets.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gpshemi:
Well we'll have to agree to disagree then. My kids also have had a older Galaxy Tab 7" with the Gorilla Glass that doesn't have a scratch on it either. Consider that both the older Galaxy Tab 7", 7.7", or even a Nexus 7 all have half the weight for little guys, better resolution, Gorilla glass in some cases, far better software, and far better hardware reliablity considering the number of posts of hardware issues. So I stand by saying that the hardware isn't all that.

Truth is if I had to do it again right now, I'd probably buy a Nexus 7 with a Gumdrop case and let em all go nuts...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Indeed, let's agree to disagree.

I will say, though, that the assertion of "better hardware reliability" is nonsense. You can't judge reliability based on forum posts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gpshemi:
I'm not. We've had several Galaxy tablets and phones as well as other kid electronics and none hsve had the troubles I've had with Fuhu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Which is a sample size of "almost none". Which again, you can't judge reliability from.

Static on screen

Hello all!

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this issue I'm currently having with my daughters Nabi2.

Basically; after power-up the tablet occasionally it'll freak out and look similar to static on the TV; same look and sound. I'm guessing loose cable, but I've got an RMA and should be getting the new one soon.

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

Other than that; the Nabis have held up exceptionally well considering they're used daily by 4 year olds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
I can't complain about the hardware too much, though I would like to see an update to the latest android with the privacy features etc. But other than that I really can't complain for $130. Going to sell it for hopefully right around the same. Win Win.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codest3r:
I agree. Are there any updates from the vendor in the pipeline? Or have they moved on to their next/new holiday release product?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
I don't have any insider knowledge of the workings at Fuhu, but I think hell is more likely to freeze over before they spend those precious profit margins to bother updating this device.

I hope that I'm wrong of course :)

I actually made a fully working 4.2.1 liquid smooth ROM for my Nabi 2 hacked together......screen didn't work but I had it hooked up to my monitor through HDMI. I used Usb mouse keyboard with it. I had no idea what I was doing as it was my first ROM ever to port and I deleted it thinking no could make a new better one.......been chasing that damn thing every since and it kills me because someone there could have finished it out for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Shoot, that would have been sweet. I know you stated chasing it but any chance you can recreate it again? Pretty sure someone could collaborate and help you finish it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deskjet390:
Its been months ago.....but it was liquid smooth 4.2.1 for nexus 7 grouper.....I pulled apart the kernel with a kernel image kitchen.....threw in some Nabi stuff.....packed it back up and when it booted it went to a pure white screen so I hooked up the HDMI and woulkdnt you know it was running fast as hell jellybean but it was also rotated and so I turned my LCD monitor sideways and hooked up my mouse and keyboard.

I had to set it to stay awaked because it went to sleep of death but I ran it that way for awhile trying tho get tubes damn screen to rotate but couldn't ever get her stone so I deleted it and started from scratch but had no idea what a damn masterpiece I had created that only needed as few tweaks to be working! WiFi and Bluetooth worked ummmmm......sound ....just the LCD was white and thus power butty on would crash it

Holy hell I appollogize for that madness I was typing at 3 in the morning I hope y'all understand what I was getting at
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
I understood. I wish I had some time to play around right now as you have. I want something different on my nabi 2 and your kitchen concoction may be a start. Closest to JB I have is using Apex Launcher LOL. Only problem is when I update or have to do things to my tablet I have to do everything via Linux ( which I rather do anyway ) as it is much more easier for me as I have not been able to get my laptop to recognize my nabi 2 tablet with nabi lab or any other type of GUI for some reason. I have tried everything to no avail.

Anyways if you can get the kernel to where you had it, I am sure some can pull it apart and see whats up.

Any thoughts yet from anyone of any new ideas to get around the ssilly restricted memory and using the external sd card to put apps on?

Had the ota update to 2.1 then got the bright idea to finally root the thing. Root went fine problem is some of the gapps didnt install. Ive tried manually pushing them to system apps to no prevail. Anyone care to share some insight? Thanks a ton for the info that I have read here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
have you tried booting in to twrp and use install / brows to the zip file ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deskjet390:
Here ya go.

Everyone with driver problems and stuff. Install Wondershare Mobilego. Great app to manage your Nabi from the PC. Then go to your settings on the Nabi and click storage, then menu to bring up USB connectivity and click PTP camera (don't ask why) and then hook up ur Nabi with mobilego open and also have USB debugging and Unknown sources turned on in Security. Works perfectly and installs the best working drivers in the history of Nabism.

Nabi 2 v2.1 - Sept 2013 OTA

http://www.nabitablet.com/support/over-the-air-update/nabi2

What is the best method to get system/software update and keep data/root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apen83:
Actually I did try that and also unistalled a few bloatware just to be sure it wasnt overcrowded still a no go..im stumped
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deskjet390:
Best way to do the updates is to open up the zip and go to the updater script and delete all the checking scripts before it applies the patches. Then after you applied the update in twrp just flash the new supersu 1.60 update zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apen83:
Ill give this a go and report back...not sure why all the apps and frameworks arent installing though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deskjet390:
The Nabi Updater script runs checks for all of the programs its going to update before it starts applying the patches. If you have de-bloated any single one of them then the update fails. I never had any problems just deleting the checking scripts. Or you could delete the Updater scripts for the programs you know you don't have to begin with while you are in there. Then I've just been flashing Supersu CWM updates in TWRP been working great.

anyone that's got the update.zip upload it here please! I haven't grabbed my Nabi to check it out yet! But I wanna be ready with the update asap.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I personally don't like removing the assert(file checking) from the script. That is your SHA1 verification that we are updating what we think we are upgrading, this leaves an extra variable when troubleshooting, although I agree that it's likely never a problem, but for a build prop or lockscreen mod it does patch those which could cause issues.

Here is my 2.0.5 to 2.1 update file for upgrading Nabi from 2.0.5 to 2.1, keeping gapps, and root.

Download to Nabi

Boot TWRP

Install

Download: 205to210.zip

I tested using TWRP 2.6.0.0

Script restores any lockscreen mod or build.prop mod for you so update can run. Any other mods I did not account for.

Restores superuser, and su(although TWRP 2.6.0.0 still complains about it and want to fix it, if you are using an earlier version though this might keep superuser for you)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deskjet390:
Holy hell 333mb wtf? I'm pull in this sucker apart and debloat beforehand. I don't care about Nabi coins and university and w/e its trying to do......I wanted a few ofthe fixes and gonna break this apart because the kernel iI been working on breaks WiFi but I bet if I flash the fix portion from this it will restore it hehe thank you aicjofs ....you are the Nabi King.

I have Jelly bean Booting on my Nabi.........what I'm doing is going about this bin the most unorthodox way I've ever herd or seen but I'm doing it and getting it closer and closer every time. This time I actually have the HDMI and the onboard LCD working. What I'm doing is editing a nandroid backup of my Nexus 7 and restoring it to the tablet, readingbtyhe blog cats and then editing the damn timing and flashing it again. Haha

You know what I want though? Nandroid TWRP backup of the SERO 7 pro. The filesystem is identical and the kernel is nearly mirrored. Comes with android 4.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Yeah no kidding. Its got a ton of apps in it, HUGE download, tons of bloatware.

The kernel is really what has been holding me back from building a CM10.1 build, that anyone can make. The config.gz from the Nabi has different drivers for battery, charging, etc, etc. It also calls for mach_board_nabi2 and some others that aren't apart of the standard tegra kernel that you can download for Nexus7, of course Nabi(keenhi) didn't release it with their source code package. You can find some of the source code in other places for the unique hardware, but not all. Could probably get it working(obviously if you have been having success with hacking it together with your method. As the kids go back to school here next week and I have some free time maybe I will look in to this again since you are having success.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apen83:
Im talking about all the gapps not installing all the other bloatware installed fine...what I did was update to 2.1 then using the nabilab I rooted, installed twrp and gapps. Ive got some of the gapps but not the playstore or talk and a few others. Ive tried installed manually and even grabbed the gapps for 4.0 from goo. Same issue they dont all install

mee genius purchased content not working

Has anyone else had trouble with the Nabi installed mee genius application? I cannot get any books to work that i purchased. It will only play them as demo's, even though i paid and logged in with the proper account. The problem may be that the application will not store my conditionals as when i go to the settings page it always re-prompts me for a username/password.

Note: The original books that came with the NABI still work. i did check the website and google play store and there is a newer version of the application available, however it says it is incompatible with this device... I am becoming increasingly interested in a pure version unencumbered by the whims/neglect of fuhu...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Did you get any errors when installing? All went well I assume with no errors, just no Play, Talk etc. You see the apps in /system/app? How about wiping dalvik and cache?(just those 2). I'm not seeing any issues with gapps, but I obviously used a different method to get to 2.1.

Updated the lockscreens for V2.1.

Something has changed in this build where I couldn't just be lazy and use 7zip, resulted in a bootloop. Had to use aapt and apktool to decompile, replace, recompile and sign. Anyway I tested these 2 as working.

Only use these on V2.1, for 1.9.37 use old ones http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35656746&postcount=712 and for 2.0.5 use these http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38964483&postcount=1467

Yeah i saw no errors when trying the install. Ive wiped cache and dalvik thinking that my help but it didnt. And some of the apps are in system apps. But not playstore, talk and a few others. Also the googleservicesframework.apk didnt install properly. Each time I click to install or move it system apps I get the parsing package error also the same with googleloginservices.apk....not sure if the framework in the update to 2.1 may have caused these issues. Almost like the meta inf isnt installing them properly though.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] funkybudda:
Unfortunately I am receiving as assert failure when applying this to my boys Nabi. I'm thinking this is because we are in the UK on a European Roms?

Would you be able to publish a 2.0.5 to 2.1 which keeps root and Gapps based on the European update, or let me know the steps you took to tweak the package to keep root and gapps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
The assert error is normal as I looked once and there are differences between the US and UK version. Which is why, like I was explaining above, I don't like removing the assert check as this is what can happen. Wrong update can get applied.

Anyway, yes I would definitely make one but I'm not sure it's been released for UK version. I looked on the UK Nabi Facebook page and didn't see mention of it, and I also tried fiddling with the link t499user posted above but couldn't find an update. Does your tablet show that an update is available in about screen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
If only they would allow directory tree browsing :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I know!! Access denied!! I forgot to hit you with a "thanks" for capturing that URL. Done.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

This seems like a first as I'm not sure we have had anyone try going from stock 2.1.27 to root/gapps, most everyone else has had Gapps on there since at least 2.0.5 if not 1.9.37. Perhaps there is an issue. You did make a stock 2.1 backup that you can restore and try again just to see if this is just a one time thing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] funkybudda:
Yes, got the announcement that there was an update when I checked for updates.

The package should actually have downloaded to the OTA folder. I have just not applied it yet.

I'll pull it and upload it later tonight.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Thank you this worked flawlessly for me.

Anyone else see they are trying to charge $0.50 to use the new timer controls? What a load of croc! Would be nice if someone could decompile the apk and edit it to skip the first check to see if youve paid...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] funkybudda:
Ok, so the OTA update was on the NABI. Full package is below:

File
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
That update is identical to the one US users got. The same one I modified. May have to work this one backwards. Can you talk about what you have done to this tablet in the past.(any mods, hacks, restores, playstore workarounds, etc,etc) Also does TWRP state which file failed?

EDIT: When exactly did you get confirmation that there was an update? Before or after you tried to apply the US update I made?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Hmmmm weird that mine wont update with the 205to210.zip . Would it be better to just Update to the official firmware and then do the Second update with GApp & Root? I already did a full back up of everything so I am not worried. I have not tried updating doing so via Linux though. I did reload all the vendor/app apk's back in but no dice...... Out of curiosity, I do have to go back to stock for this correct? Any suggestions welcomed.
