What version are you on again on your Nabi2?

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

As always. Please do a full back up just in case. Then have at it. Test modules out that are specific to JellyBean, etc. You will know which will work and which won't. If it doesn't or makes your Nabi2 act weird, just disable it and reboot.

Choose what works for you.

I have been trying to DL those for some time now. The DL stalls about halfway and cancels on me everytime.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Thanks for the help bro. I downloaded and flashed those but still no idea where they are going. It says hat it is a successful flash but cant find apps in daddy mode. IDK what I am doing wrong. Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stuckintheskull:
Did you put it on "Daddy Mode"? And no problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
LOL

It's called de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v......

Should have a green android with red lettering on it for the app picture.

Just a suggestion, make a folder in your SD Card or External SD Card, call it Downloaded Apps or My Downloads or something along the lines. I have several folders on my External SD Card like if it was my PC LOL. Your Nabi2's Internal SD card should have a Download folder already, you could place your uninstalled APK's in there but you will be using your internal memory for that. You can install APK's being they are located on your External SD Card to begin with. They don't necessarily have to be located on your Internal SD Card, to be installed that is. Once installed, that is another story.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Okay. Nabi will not boot up. I've tried everything except format data. Restore isn't working and wiping the regular stuff doesn't either
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stuckintheskull:
Well what happened leading up to it not booting?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
I flashed the advanced power menu. I backed everything up (or so I thought) but nothing is working. I cant even mount the tablet to my computer to put stock rom in internal memory. The ROM I downloaded says it is to big for my 8gb micro sd card. I am at a loss here. Any help is greatly appreciated
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stuckintheskull:
Can you boot into recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
yes I can boot into recovery fine I also downloaded stock.zips and tried flashing them but it fails every time.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

I cant flash anything. I have downloaded 3 stock roms and none of them will flash. I get "error flashing zip ' /external sd card/fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch.zip"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
You have to take the stock.zip open it and copy and paste those files in a Folder preferably in external card in this folder structure TWRP/BACKUPS/your serial #/name of backup,example stock/paste those files here.

Then boot into TWRP recovery and restore from external card click on stock, reboot.

Also you dont flash advance power menu, you just need to install xposed framework apk but make sure there is enough system space, then inside xposed app you go to modules, download advance power menu from within the xposed app.

Good Luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Okay. I open the stock zip and there are 4 files in there.

fuhu_nabi2_v1912_system.ext4.win

a zip called fuhu_nabi2_wifi_fix

then 2 winimages called

nabi2_original_recovery

recovery

I create a folder on my ext sd card and place the files in there. My confusion is coming in what you mean by folder structure. My sdcard is completely empty except for this file I just created. Again, sorry about the noobness and thank you very much for helping me

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Okay. When I try flashing any of these ROMS I get the following script in TWRP

Installing "rom name"

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: No MD5 file found.

Updating partition details...

it stops right there.

THanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
You flashed the Advanced power menu APK? It's an app like any other. You need the Xposed Framework for it to work. It's also an app. You jst install it like any other app.

All these require

root

access. If you do not have it they will not work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Okay. I made the files accordingly inside of eachother

TWRP

Backups

0214312312313 (ie serial number)

stock backup

I try to find them in restore external sd card but cant find them. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks again man
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Which system firmware were you on before nabi boot looped? Or which version of TWRP?

That fuhu nabi back to stock is another thread, I thought you took the stock.zip from the wiki found here, there are all the files you need

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_2

Lets start over, download stock version 2.1.27 from the link I provided. Download 2127stock.zip then extract files, leave this alone for now and flash Ice Cream Sandwich Version(4.0) TWRP 2.6.3.0. You need the correct TWRP to work with 4.0 ice cream. Once you have flashed the proper TWRP boot into it by long press power button and volume + then scroll down to recovery kernel. Go to advance/file explorer/ and look into your files and look for a folder TWRP/BACKUPS/your serial #; write this serial number down.

Then create the same folder structure you seen inside the nabi with your serial number, also BACKUPS is suppose to be capitol. Once you have done all this boot into TWRP and tap external card restore and you should see that folder you placed in external card. Restore,reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
I cannot find that TWRP/BACKUPS file anywhere at all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
on that page its under

then just below that are a list of TWRP version

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Finally got this resolved and the Nabi is working like a champ again. All thanks to katinatez. Thanks for calling me and walking my noob self through the process and getting this thing working again. I really appreciate it. Anyone else who helped me as well,thank you very much.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Now make a full backup of this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
okay. stupid question(s) alert.....

I did all my updates to Jellybean but the TWRP is still for ICS. I want to do a backup before flashing TWRP for JB but I am not sure how compatible the 2 are. Should I flash the TWRP for jb like I would any other kernel (through TWRP for ICS)? Or what? Is there some other way to flash this new TWRP? Thanks for reading.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
I refuse to get caught without a backup again! Thanks for the advice
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
If you did all updates, your back on stock recovery. You go back to the wiki page and download TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Jellybean. You have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

After new TWRP recovery make a backup of Jellybean. Also new recovery will not restore previous backups.

@Desertio simple install of adb & fastboot

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
I don't want to mess this up again. By fastboot flash, do you mean that I need to go to bootloader, recovery kernel, then flash from zip or is it one of those pc36img kinda things? Thanks again man. I know you are probably tired of having to walk me through this. I do appreciate it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Fastboot & adb commands are done in Windows cmd or Linux terminal, but first you have to install adb & fastboot into computer.

That zip file you extract and grab the single file named recovery.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
[MENTION=4254532]Desertio[/MENTION] after you install fastboot, you copy & paste recovery.img into root of C:\ then check if fastboot is recognized by opening cmd and typing fastboot, if done correctly you should see a fastboot table of commands.

Next step is to go to tablet settings/developers options/ check android debugging

Then your ready to flash new JB recovery by opening cmd and typing this command

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img

wait a few seconds then next command is

adb reboot recovery

backup to external

done
[Miscellaneous Android Development] petronelduca:
after many many trials I've managed to make contact between my daughter's nabi 2 and my PC in order to push TWRP for JB......after a lot of messing around, I was at the point that nothing was working and nothing was booting.......my daughter.....next to me crying her eyes out......after searching on xda I've found something called "mn2ri-v1.5.0-beta2" and after downloading the full version which is 1.2 Gb aprox, I did a big clean having an old version of OS, I think 1.9.3 something......but at least everything it was working....after that.... OTA updates and now everything is fine, I've managed to root it and use the JB version for TWRP, and all in all the tabket is OK.

Thanks for all the help from the members anyway.

All the best and happy new year.

The cmd screen is stuck on (waiting for device)

I have the recovery img in c:\ as well as fastboot there. USB debugging is checked and tablet is on and in daddy mode. Any ideas?

Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
You have to go into directory of fastboot, if fastboot is stored in a folder named fastboot at root of C:\ then do this

open cmd type C:\fastboot then enter

then

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img

then

adb reboot recovery

But Eric has a flashable zip file for you can flash inside of TWRP, just waiting for his response at this thread

Doe your computer recognize Nabi tablet when connected to computer? Are your drivers installed on computer?

Just got off work, try this in cmd

cd C:\android enter

adb devices enter (should see your tablet serial #)

adb reboot-bootloader enter (tablet should reboot into bootloader)

fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img enter

adb reboot recovery

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Waleslie:
One of my kids' tablets has been successfully updated OTA to Jellybean and rooted. The other one is still on 2.0.5. I was about to update the second one when all of the sudden, I have the can't turn on wifi problem. So... I guess I'll download the OTA files from the wiki and do the update manually. I suspect the wifi problem will resolve itself after the update, right?

#1: Can I go straight to Part 1 of the two part OTA (my understanding is yes) or do I need to do the previous incremental update?

#2: I need to go back to stock recovery to apply the update, right?

#3: What exactly do I need to do? It's something like name it update.img, put it in a certain spot, then boot into recovery, isn't it?

Repackaged NabiLabv2 with JB recovery 2.6.3.0 for 4.1

For those having trouble with fastboot and adb I repackaged NabiLabv2 with TWRP 2.6.3.0 for JellyBean 4.1, which means only those that have updated to 2.3.11 firmware that want TWRP just need to run the .bat file and press 4 install recovery. Then press either 1,2,3 they all have TWRP 2.6.3.0 for JellyBean and number 4 will give you stock recovery. You have to unzip and run on Windows computer.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Part 1 of the two part is the next step from 2.0.5.

2.1.27 is part 1. It just reinstalls 2.1.27 for the 2.3.11 Update. If you were not to update the second part, you would stay on 4.0 ICS and not 4.1 JB stock.

I was already on 2.1.27 when the part1 update reinstalled 2.1.27 all over again........ Just for info.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
#1 Here is the 2.05 to 210.zip ota you flash in TWRP

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45369304&postcount=1605

#2 No this is a modified ota that will keep root & gapps created by aicjofs

I believe the updates will fix wifi, but if your still having issues with wifi your going to have to return to stock and start over. Try this first and see if wifi fixes itself.

Once updated to 210 you can ota over to 2.3.11 then use NabiLabv2 I posted above to gain TWRP for JellyBean

upgrade from 1.9.27

Ok, so I did a bit of searching but with 209 pages in one thread it is a bit tough.

I rooted both girls Nabi'2's last Christmas to add Play Store. All was working fine until they ran out of space and I wanted to delete a few more unused things. Somewhere over the past year they both lost root but still had play store so I was not too worried, except for not being able to do a TI backup.

I am unable to accept the OTA, it will download then when I go to install it I get the android with the exclamation point and then a reboot.

Last night I downloaded the NabiLab (thanks for that). Rerooted and installed TWRP again. I can get into recovery easy enough and did a full system backup as well as a TI backup. I cannot upgrade through the NabiLab as it keeps giving me some errors, no directory, couldn't find file...

I guess my questions are related to upgrading from 1.9.37:

1. Is there a new stripped ROM that I can install (I like the Monarch feature but to not want Wings or a bunch of the other programs). A flashable ROM would be the easiest.

2. Where does Nabilab save the download on my PC when I download the ROM prior to trying to flash. Could I just move that file to the Nabi and flash manually in TWRP? But then how do I remove Wings without breaking any other dependencies?

3. Do I need to run your partition size fix?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
aicjofs wrote a bit of detail about the background activities update 1 does in preparation for update 2 here.

I did aicjofs' 2.05to2.1.zip manual update linked in the wiki, then the OTAs, just to do things in order. Update part 1 reinstalls ICS fresh (keeping your data, no worries) so hopefully that should fix your wifi issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Waleslie:
So all of the OTAs in the wiki are flashable from TWRP?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:

When I tyoe in the second command... to find adb devices it says " list of devices attached" and shows nothing except taking me back to C:\Android>
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Yup, about in the 190's page I posted my experience with the OTA's. First OTA it updated while I was rooted with no GAPPS, no monarch UI was installed and no add on folder apps installed. Once it finished I still kept root, TWRP but all the apps and folders that were needed installed for the next update 2.3.11. Once the next update began it went through like nothing still rooted and on TWRP but after it was done all the monarch UI APPS, add on apps including my apps were installed. Now of course it did check for enough system space before install which I made room for and then some to be on the safe side.

Once updated I booted into Ubuntu Linux on my Computer and flashed the newest TWRP via ADB/Fast boot through the Command Prompt window. Right before leaving TWRP it advised that my system was not rooted and if I would like to root, I swiped for yes. All has been good ever since and all my apps were kept and I deleted all the Monarch UI and addon apps with the kids videos/music as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Desertio:
Okay. I found my problem out. ADB wouldn't locate device because after installing PDAnet I didn't restart the computer. I reinstalled everything and saw that I have to restart to finish installation. I restarted and this worked like a freaking champ! Backing up as we speak! Thank God for your help Katinatez. I cannot thank you enough

I was down to one strand of hair, so I got a full refund and bought my son a Galaxy Tab 3. Thanks for the help guys.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Waleslie:
I updated my son's tablet to JB. There are a few differences I've noticed and was wondering if they can be changed...

1) When you bring up the notification panel, the hit the settings icon near the top right, it brings up about 6 "quick setting bars". The last one of these used to be settings, where it would bring up the full settings screen. Now settings isn't there. Is there a way to control which options show up on the settings screen of the notification panel and get it back?

2) Under the previous roms, when you brought up the settings screen, it used to be an explorer-style split screen with the settings catagories on the left and the sub-settings screens on the right. Now it's just a fullscreen of the catagories or the individual settings sub-screen. Can this be set back to a split screen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ken Esq:
1. That's a bug on Fuhu's part. The setting entry is probably still there, but hidden. If you rotate the tablet to portrait mode you'll see it. I think someone jammed an extra entry in there and never bothered to test or look at it in landscape...which doesn't make much sense, but shouldn't shock anyone here either.

2. I believe that's the way JB displays settings. I haven't seen any way outside of different ROMs to change that behavior.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Waleslie:
My non-Nabi tablet is on JB 4.3 and still has the split screen. I don't think its a JB thing, but maybe its a Nabi thing...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ken Esq:
I can tell you that 4.2.2 has it as a single screen. At least Cyano running on an Amazon Kindle does it that way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Just for info Xposed Framework doesn't need to be installed as a system app, just as a normal app. I have reset my Galaxy Note 2 several times with different Roms already and I just had to reinstall the Main " Xposed Framework " app and all the seperate modules "apps" for the seperate functions.

Also you can try Root Explorer, ES File Explorer and of course Astro File Explorer ( all though this one I have not had luck removing system apps ). All will work with root. Just have to give them access when you are prompted by SuperSU.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
Of the selections that do show, hit Wi-Fi then immediately hit back to settings at the very top left. I don't have the tablet in front of me at the moment but on my phone, it's "< [gear symbol] Wi-Fi" That will take you up to the top Settings menu quick, only one extra key press.

Can you post some info on how you're assembling the lockscreens? I've got a few ready to make up, but simply replacing the files within framework-res.apk within the zip didn't seem to work...
