[Miscellaneous Android Development] pvman:
Confused (again

Hi! It's me, the perpetual newbie!!

I was wondering if you could break this down to some simple steps (even if its a lot of steps) for guys like me.

This week-end I thought I'd go ahead and perform the OTA update to 2.4.6. To my chagrin it wasn't possible.

My Nabi 2 is running a standard v2.3 with TWRP 2.6.3.0 and SuperSU v2.02.

When I downloaded 2.4.6 and tried to install, it booted recovery partition. TWRP tried to do something, but failed to apply the 2.4.6 update due to (what I believe) is a mismatch between TWRP versions and the new OTA Update (I THINK from what I've interpreted from you guys, the 2.4.6 bootloader and kernel may be the offending items).

That said, I flashed TWRP 2.7.1. Release 2.4.6 still did not load. In addition, I think I'm seeing that touchscreen issue. Does TWRP at any version have an issue with OTA? I notice you guys like to load images fom SD Card. I was just trying to not lose any app data. Do I need to re-root if I update TWRP?

Additionaly, I'm a little confused about TWRP compatibility. Is v2.8.x compatible with JB? When you guys started talking about 2.8.x, it was usually in the context of KK and the Nabi 2S.

I've downgraded TWRP back to 2.6.3 (in the process SuperSU got updated to 2.4. AARRGGHH! Too many changes!). Nabi OS is still at 2.3.11

I've read this thread many times, esp. the posts since Oct. 2014, when 2.4.6 was released. But I'm not getting it.

Here are my questions:

What version of TWRP do I need to apply (shouldn't 2.7.1 work (regardless of the touchscreen issues))?

When I upgrade TWRP, will I have to "re-root"?

If so, should the "re-root'ing" occur before or after I apply the OTA Update?

Has anyone ever made a compatibility matrix of what versions of TWRP are compatible with the versions of Nabi OS versions? That might be good to add to the Wiki.

Is there a note showing what improvements were made with each release of TWRP for the NABI? I know you guys sometimes take out some of the Teamwin stuff to make TWRP fit in the recovery partition.
