Copy the nabibricksafe.img somewhere safe, you might have already overwritten it but keep it safe regardless. I don't think the restore will work because you won't be copying back a GPT.

Do this from a command prompt in that directory

nvflash --bootloader.bin --getpartitiontable currentpartition.txt

EDIT:

Try this. RESTORE special

Has 2 files in it flash1.cfg (a partition layout for your device), and RESTORE1.bat. Extract both to the directory. You need to have all your images in that directory (05_EKS_raw.img, etc, etc)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thajacka:
yes, thats correct.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darrenjdoc:
Yes.

Its erroring on the second part of the update.

Yes /system/etc/install-recovery.sh exists.

Its frying my head :)

Is it possible someone could upload the rom or make a flashable zip? I know its time consuming but any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

JB 2.3.11 Lockscreens

I have tested all the ones posted, all flash with no problem, dont even have to wipe cache & dalvik. Also tested this on unrooted Nabi works great too. Just need the custom recovery TWRP to flash. Again no problem installing; fixed the previous FC issues that were related to the 210.zip

Will make a video on how to make your own lockscreen with links to tools and a emptylockscreen.zip to place your framework-res.apk.

Will update the current lockscreens first. With exception of lockorig_2.3.11.zip all have Nexus 7 2013 default wallpaper!

I've just ran nabilabs and chose option 4 to go back to stock. Seemed to work but when updating OTA to 2.1 it fail and shows the Android with exclamation mark :(

Help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Just accept update and flash, I went from 2.1 modded to 2.3 with update
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CaptnSpaulding:
Flash using nabilabs you mean? Sorry :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
No, go to nabi wiki in darkangel signature. Either download whichever ota.zip you need, then flash in twrp. Update to 2.1 then accept normal ota update by going to settings/about tablet/updates

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Then to root again download twrp 2.6.3 for Jellybean posted a few pages by aicjofs. The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" . of course setting up fastboot is a whole different tutorial.

Then press power button & volume + at the same time, then scroll down to recovery kernel by pressing volume - .

TWRP will ask if you want to root, click yes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CaptnSpaulding:
Can't seem to find a stock/OTA ROM for UK version Nabi, I need 1.9.35 or 1.9.36 :confused:

I'm not fussed on rooting it again tbh, I'm happy to get rid of TWRP after flashing stock ROM as Gapps will be in 2.3 when it's released for the UK in 2014 :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thajacka:
thats what i did, got the 2.0 to 2.1 update and flashed in recovery, then took OTA, part 1 done, part 2 installing now. so if im reading correct here i can root using same method in OP? i only want root and recovery? i replaced the recovery in the op root tool with the jelly bean one, is this all correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
If you have twrp 2.6.3 for Jellybean that's all you need. Once booted into twrp it will ask if you want root. Or you could flash the root.zip.

Mine cannot complete second update as well.. I did a full restore to original firmware & completed all ota updates successfully until part 2 of the most recent.. stumped at the moment along with you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
TWRP overwrites/renames that file to protect itself from being overwritten by stock recovery. How are you guys flashing these updates? Manually through TWRP,manually by stock recovery, or through the Nabi Android process?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
Ok i ran the special restore and it said it was successfull.

will update and see.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
Tried all of the above.. All fail. believe it fails when flashing addon patches for some reason.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] darrenjdoc:
I flashed 2.1 on top of the rom that was out this time last year as I hadnt updated the kids tablet since then. Installed the stock recovery. Then took the OTA.

Since then I have went back to the original rom and took the OTA's through the Nabi Update. Now I am on 2.1. It is now not giving me the option to receive jellybean as it isnt out here yet according to a post made here earlier.

aicjofs - Any idea what to do? Thanks for any info.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CaptnSpaulding:
Oh man my son is going to kill me!

I've finally flashed 1.9.37 but lost all his apps and now the add apps app won't work as it says it's stopped responding so he doesn't even have the stock nabi apps.

Also the rom is American so the nabi store is in dollars so no idea what happens now with OTAs or google/amazon store
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
What about lockscreen mod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] steve0.adams:
Having major issues

So I have 2 Nabi 2 originals. both on 2.1 release keys. i made stock unrooted backups for both. so i tried to restore them so i can take the update. restore fails, tried nabi labs v2 to bring back to stock...fails. tried nabilabs gui...fails. now one they are both still on 2.1 release keys but one i cannot get the wifi back. Also now neither nabi lab v2 or nabi lab recognizes either device. they are both still rooted with gapps but seems to be halfway between stock unrooted and what they had before i started...i.e. have some of the apps that were stock and i removed and have some of the apps i installed but not all of either. I am at a loss on this one. These are the only devices i have to relearn every time i try to do something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
Yeah.. I messed around too much I guess.. now I cannot mount system, data, cache etc. In TWRP to restore..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Ahrens:
I followed these instructions to upgrade the rooted Nabis - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35287470. Both were on rooted 1.9.37 with Google Play.

However, I couldn't get wifi working when I flashed 1.9.12, even with the wifi fix, and even after factory reset. So instead of using the rom in there. I used the Stock Version 2.1.27 that I found in http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_2 using the instruction from above. I also used the TWRP 2.6.3.0 (ICS) recovery from the wiki.

1) Reboot into fastboot and flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 (ICS)

2) Boot into TWRP recovery and restore ROM to Stock Version 2.1.27. This will replace not only system, but everything including recovery.

3) Reboot normally and setup the Nabi. Initialization takes like 10 minutes.

4) Do the OTA upgrades (2 of them)

If you want root, fastboot and flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 (JB) from the wiki. Upon reboot, it will ask you if you want to root. Slide to root. Then once rebooted normally, go to the playstore and update Chainfire's SuperSU. Afterwards, when you open SuperSU, it will ask you to upgrade - do it normally. Verify using root explorer or terminal emulator.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Well this is a HUGE mess now is it! Are we all bathing in children's tears... :p

I think most of the 2nd OTA issues stem from either TWRP deleting some files to protect it's self, or the fact people have taken ROM restores, which unlike going the OTA route don't deal with any changes to the addon partition, and the 2nd OTA is not seeing the files on that partition it expects.

For those that completed the first OTA but not the second this might get around the issues, by deleting recovery checks, and copying the full apks to addon. Use TWRP to "install it"

OTA2mod

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second method might help people that have a complete disaster going on.

Download the first file. It is the stock rom for 2.3.11. You need to put it in TWRP/BACKUPS/XXX/folder where "XXX "is your serial and "folder" is a name of your choice. "Restore" from this folder boot and system

This will give you the stock ROM but it will not be bootable because you are still on ICS bootloader, and you have made no proper changes to addon. So BEFORE reboot take the second file addonfix and "install" it. It should install stock 2.3.11 addons, update the bootloader and perform some Nabi setup magic. Now reboot.

2311stockROM

addonfix.zip

Keep in mind the need to switch TWRP version afterward. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47306565&postcount=67

Hopefully this helps the normal US users straight. Still have a couple people with partition mods that need to be undone, and I'm not sure what to do about the UK users. I have someone who said they would give me a stock UK image, but I haven't got it yet, and I'm not sure how that is going to help with those that want this update on a UK version, but it could at least get them back to where they started if this isnt working for them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
I am baffeled at how some Nabi2's are not taking the updates. I left my Nabi2 at the worst possible for an update.

Rooted

No addon folder installed

No Vendor/Game APK's

No Fuhu media installed

Monarch UI removed

All while on the latest Update v2.1 with the most current TWRP 2.6.3.0 (ICS) installed. I have even gone as far as removing all the media/apk's all over again on v2.3 ( 4.1 JB ) to make it the normal tablet I had.

Hopefully your files will help aicjofs or Chi Ahrens method as well.

Yours has 19 partitions too. Try the same restore1.zip and procedure I gave yournamehere.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
Any Ideas on how I can get system, data, cache partitions to mount? I cannot restore or flash anything without twrp failing. I've reflashed recovery already, I'm clueless as to what happend to these partitions.. thank you..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
That almost sounds like you have wrong twrp installed. Try JB version.

EDIT: I didn't see the picture before, did you do a partition mod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
I thought maybe if I did the partition mod I'd get my partitions back.. tried flashing the ota 2nd part.. failed. Couldn't mount system or data afterward, so I tried to restore partitions to see what would happen.. thinking maybe it's a brick now.. As I can't get any version of TWRP to mount.

Edit.. well thanks for the tip about the twrp version. Actually I flashed the 2311 jb version and was able to mount system and restore that from the files you posted above.. As well as boot. Just the cache, data, and addon will not mount now.. it booted up tho.. craziness..

Edit2.. Now I'm back in twrp, and only addon will not mount..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Nah not bricked. Can you look in the resize folder and post both partitiontable text files.

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

It's because since it was the wrong version of twrp you haven't formatted those when you ran the restore. You need to format them. You can format data, and cache in the advanced wipe menu in twrp, addon though you will have to do manually.

I'm still leery of you having the partition structure back or the restore would have gotten addon back for you.

EDIT: Never mind you got those back so they are now formatted. Which restore did you use? restore or restore1?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
I used restore1, we'll actually used them both but lastly restore1. How would I format addon partion?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Boot TWRP and connected to computer. In mount tab mount everythin that will mount.

From command prompt do these first just to make sure things look somewhat normal

adb shell df

and then

adb shell cat /proc/partitions

Something isn't right though you should have restored addon with the restore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
Here is what I got from this.. I appreciate the help with all this..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
You typo'd

adb shell df

not adb shelf df

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Your not going to like this but I think you need to run restore.bat now(not restore1)

We can verify which you need to run by going in to the resize folder and looking at the size of the image files you have.

If 13_UDB_raw.img is a huge 1.5GB file then you need to use restore.bat

If 14_UDC_raw.img is the huge one, then there is something else wrong.

If you do need to run restore.bat, remember this time you will have to flash TWRP JB, and then addon should mount. You can wipe data and cache in TWRP to get them to mount. Proceed with what you just did and make sure to use the addonfix zip and the instructions. I'm getting sleepy, going to go lay down for a bit I will check back later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WFG:
That did it.. ran the restore.bat, partitions are good... just getting an error trying to flash addonfix.zip. "error executing updater binary in zip". I'll just try manually pushing those files to their directories in the morning.. thanks for your help getting this going..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
Aic the restore 1 worked and said it was successful. I was able to take both updates via nabi daddy mode. I'm getting a force close on gapps. I did lose root and I'm sure twrp add well. One thing I had trouble with before was when I first modded the partitions it kept saying there were no add on partition. Was that my 19? I couldn't find the way to fix it in advanced in twrp. In a bit I'll try to root again and add twrp jb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] \m/:
I was successful with the restore1 as well and was able to download and install both updates. Once it booted back up after the updates, I received a force close on an app but I don't remember which one. Afterward, I did full wipe via the settings menu and have not had any issues since.

Camera.apk ?

Bump Bump Bump for Camera.apk on 4.1.1 OTA. there appears to be no camera.apk in /system/app , itried installing a 3rd party camera app, it obviously cannot connect to camera. Could some one please post a camera.apk from any firmware, prefferably the latest one?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheSleezkIng:
might be a dumb question,but is their anyway to just get the apps that are on the nick edition without rooting and flashing the rom? i got two nabi 2's (original versions) still on stock and i barely have enough time to do the current update that installs google play on both with work n **** lol... or possibly just a link to the nick rom so i can flash that tonight if thats the only other option?

You don't need the apk.. it's just like the nexus 7. Play store has it. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...TP5YJ4&usg=AFQjCNEaAvpLlignNmMh-KQCyxdywTXP6w

thanks, tried that. it opens but pretty much freezes the system, i can swipe stuff, but it is sloooooow. also no picture just black.

I must be missing some libs or worse...

with all the reports of camera cant connect, even on facebook, etc... I would think either XDA or NAbi would have a fix, other than factory reset.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
aic, I am finally back to factory partitions (thanks x1000 on that) and i think i fixed the force close issues. I had to install the goo.im gapps package then wiped all cached data for nabi aps, resetup the nabi kid mode (for some reason all nabi apps kept saying incorrect password or login) which cleared everything up. I noticed as im making a backup now in twrp that my serial is mostly 0s would nvflash have anything to do with that?

Serial:

0f41000001000000

I'm certain that's not factory.

Also is there a way to expand the system partition with the 19 partition nabis like mine? I tried to install busybox and only have 6mb left lol. So maybe an expanded version would be needed for these too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
All, updated the Wiki with as much info as I could gather and find. Anyone is welcomed to go in and add, modify, correct, etc to the wiki. It should be opened to anyone willing to add to it.

Ok good as long as it's not just me. lol.I also have to retract my force close issue with gallery. I'm trying all i can to get the factory working gallery but nothing is working. As soon as I turn on the nabi it pops up. I can open the app and it will close out on its own once. Then after a few mins another force close. After the second fc it seems to be stable. Just as an option does anyone have the nvflash backups of their orig nabi 2 19 partition version? I want to make sure my backups are the same. If need be I'll give the nabi as is for xmas but im sure after a while the fc will annoy my little one lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Before update 2.3.11 both Nabis had minimal Nabi setup with everything deleted, lockscreen mod, rooted, TWRP recovery. One of the tablets accepted both ota with android process, And I was having the same issues first gallery FC, then incorrect password, I then factory reset but only fixed some issues but not all.

Second Nabi I had deleted the ota.apk so I could not accept the ota by going to about tablet/updates so I had to return to stock by flashing stockunrooted. Continued to do ota and everything is silky smooth.

Comparing both Nabis the first Nabi I will say "I dirty flashed ota" that one the Google Play will not update to current 4.5 GPlay, CN video.apk will not update, incorrect password, gallery FC, random FC.

I then made a backup of the clean flashed ota and restored the Nabi having issues now everything is running smooth on both.

Conclusion always return to stock before flashing ota.
