Which is the saved backup? the nabi nvflash zip file? What about the partitiontableOLD and NEW text files?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] racer25x:
New update - Adds (native) Google play support

has anyone seen this yet?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-ota-should-start-rolling-out-sometime-today/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] digidep:
Yes, best x-mas present ever.

My procrastination paid off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] racer25x:
Did you get the update already? Does it give us Jellybean or is this still ICS?

Any other info you can pass along (size of the download, version number, etc).

would be greatly appreciated as my Nabi is currently in storage and I'm wondering

if it's worth fetching out to look into.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
My first thought about Google Play update was " What are they going to remove to make room?" Or " Is there a repartition script inside the update to make additional room and still keep all the apk's?"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilsonf:
Can anyone make a Yo Gabba Gabba lockscreen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] racer25x:
I'm guessing it will be the script option as one of the articles that I read a few months ago

indicated that they were quite happy with the money they were making off of the current

app bundle. Repartition might also make sense if it's an upgrade to Jellybean as well (tho

it seems like that would be something you would want to add in the press release if they

were going to upgrade Android versions).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] digidep:
Guess I was wrong...updated to JB...

Update 12/19/13 3pm PT: The 2-part OTA is live, with the first one weighing in at 415MB and the 2nd at 592MB. Not only does it bring various Google's services, it also updates the tablet from Android 4.0 to 4.1 Jelly Bean.

thanks Nabi master ...lol

HAHA you beat me too it. ^^^^^^^^^^^

I took the same screen shot.......
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SmiggyG:
Wow! Someone I had talked to at Fuhu had just told me Jellybean was coming sooner than we think. Boy was he right. Best part is Google Play. He didn't mention that.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chillout2010:
Ok so I rooted my son's nabi a few weeks back and have gapps already installed. I deleted wings for it along with all the trial apps in order to make room for more useful apps. Should I un root to get the update or is it better to just keep root and stay with jelly 4.0?

MJC
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
They must have done the roll out like any carrier but of course via Wifi to the newer Nabi2's OS upgrade but of course no Disney or Nick Apps for us normal Nabi2 owners. Adding Google is a plus for many for sure. They finally got it right with this one. Now lets see how fast they roll out the OTA for Gapps for the Disney and Nick version. Maybe sooner than expected.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SmiggyG:
Good question. I've been looking forward to Jellybean but not crazy about giving up root access. I suppose it depends how much you need root access. If it's just for the Play Store only I'd say return to stock and update. I'm dying to update myself but may wait a few days to see what transpires here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Up to you really but I have been wanting to go JellyBean for some time now and had my tablet ready for tonight to repartition and update to 4.1 and look what I get in my email today LOL. Just told my wife to have our girls tablets charged for when I get home tonight LOL. I will be taking mine back to stock 2.1 and just do the update. Then install TWRP and root to have some rooted jelly fun on mine after I debloat it and turn it into a normal tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] racer25x:
Has someone posted a working TWRP and Root (exploit) for the Jellybean code base already?

I could be totally wrong here, but based on my reading from where someone loaded the

Disney XD version (Jellybean) on their nabi 2, it sounds like you need a new JB specific

recovery (and I would assume that you would need an updated root package too?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
FYI update kills root even with superuser OTA survival mode enabled. Update will also Install stock recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
Caution - cant just throw a version Of twrp you were using and think the one that you used will just work .

I have had JB 4.1 on mine for a few weeks and not the same TWRP as the one used ICS 4.03

Let see if IF aic ...chimes in and see what he thinks . or you may end up with something you wont like ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jkcpsal:
Does anyone know, do I need to unroot to accept ota? If so, how? Sorry haven't paid attention to these in awhile
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
you could flash back that BACK UP that we get told to make then do the ota up dates

PS read the few post back on what to expect
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
i know which version to use. There are two different TWRP versions up that aic made. One for 4.0 and the other was for Jellybean. He had left " for Disney " on the 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version by mistake. I will give the JellyBean TWRP a try and see what happens but pretty sure it should work as it is the one used for the newer nabi2's running 4.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
that's correct but we don't know anything that may require A DIFFERNT twrp all together.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Everyone......... unless aicjofs stated it wasn't working or something to that effect. Look at the DL name, it states "NABI2DTWRP263" in it ( Nabi2 Disney TWRP 2.6.3 ). It's for JellyBean. I was told to use this TWRP if and when I jumped to 4.1 when I repartitioned but in my case now I don't need to repartition and just will be doing the OTA.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
See he lost every thing he had . now he is back to stock nabi with JB 4.1

To bad hes not on right now we could ask him to temp install that version of twrp that was made for Disney on his NAbi 2 to see what happens.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
Hello guy on this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074501

method 2 - temp install (means after reboot it goes back to normal )

and you see if it twrp works on your nabi2 with JB 4.1 /?

use adb commands
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Yes I know it will go back to stock and remove root access as does any OTA for any carrier on many phones, just like when I updated my GN2 a week ago to a Knox Free version of 4.3. TWRP allowed me to reinstall root but that was something totally different in my case.

After I go back to stock and update to 4.1, I will try the TWRP Disney JB version and re-root. In all theory should be good to go unless for some reason Fuhu Inc decided to make changes totally different than the newer Nabi2's running 4.1, which for me are just not feasible.

I would love to see if someone could try it and report back.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

FYI ( to anyone performing the update ) .......

If for any reason anyone gets a failed update due to having removed system apps and so forth after being rooted, you may have to take your Nabi2's back to stock before performing the update again.

Just in case, throwing it out there as a precaution if anyone does.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
I am on that Disney version (aic science version lol). AIC...said the key to it was in the bootloader.

IF something is different in the OTA version and twrp does not Reflect the changes then it will not work correctly or even not at all.

But hey try it and let me know :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
I will give it a go. I have a full Nandroid back up of mine at this point and can easily get one from both my girls nabi2's as well to restore. I'll report back but it wont be until after midnight my time and it's 9:29 P.M. right now LOL.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
I had a large number of deleted system apps and the OTA went just fine. Will try to boot from that other recovery in the morning. Not anywhere near a computer ATM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
ok I will be looking forward to it .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Good to know. So I can go straight from where I have my Nabi2 and straight OTA I am hoping. I have the whole Monarch UI removed including all System apps and Games that came with it making it stay on Parent Mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lost Dog:
Excellent! Finally a true play store.

I ended up using the Disney version of TWRP and was able to flash SuperSu. I'm now rooted with Jelly Bean and everything seems to be working great. Looks like they jammed every last ounce of space in the system partition. Only ~800k free.

I've got TitaniumBackup working it's magic right now. I'll then do a nandroid backup and start playing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Glad to know TWRP Disney (JB) works and so did rooting for you. Thank you sir for trying it out. Question, how big is the partition? Still at 500MB?

:svetius:

( Another App/s to try is the Xposed framework and see how that goes )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] racer25x:
I might try this out later. Is everyone still using the JMZroot zip to install root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
You can but TWRP will install root for you these days also.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
Great aic can you make a roll back script that will flash the old partitions back? I would prefer to go back to stock since this was all to get what this new update provides. Can't wait to try it out. What does the build prop say for the device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Isn't that how these things go. We finally get tired of waiting for Fuhu, and bam they finally release everything.

Looking over update part 1 and 2 it looks like they did us a huge favor. The first step in update 1 is to format the system partition and install a fresh ICS ROM, update the bootloader, and then updates the boot.img. Shuffles around some of the addon stuff to prepare and move the bloated vendor apps that were taking too much space on system to data. This is fantastic as it sets almost everything we have done back to "stock".

Update 2 then changes the bootloader and boot.img to jellybean, shuffles around all the vendor apps to addon, adds play and boom done.

Great stuff! Should be no issues upgrading no matter what you did(less partition mod although even that should work), they left bootloader unlocked and nvflash is still accessible.

Here is the "proper" TWRP for the new version 2.3.11

Updated version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Nabi2 original with JB update(v2.3.11)

Nabi specifc:

Fixed Original Nabi listed as Disney

Added kernel for v2.3.11

TWRP 2.6.3.0 Original (JB)

No reason you can't use the Disney version for the original Nabi with JB, but for the purists this keeps the kernel inline with the Nabi update.

Yes, I will work on a way to undo the partition mod. (This is why we made that backup and zipped it up ; )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Always happens this way LOL. And thank you for the TWRP update to keep it Nabi2 ( Normal ..... Specific ). I have updated the Wiki as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
[MENTION=4939189]aicjofs[/MENTION], just got home and saved the ota.zips was going to post them for you but you you already have them. So far only had the first update, lost root, and mods, accepted the ota coming from a minimal nabi set up. Going to save the second ota.zip then fully update to jellybean then try your new TWRP and root again.

Then work on new lockscreen mods with new updates.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

I just saved the ota.zip in my external sd card and going to place that sd card in my other Nabi so I could update the other one without having to wait for download again. Just I quick tip for those that have multiple Nabis to update before Christmas. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Well funny thing about my OTA..... Every time I updated I also grabbed a copy and placed it into my External SD for safe keeping as well. Updated with the first OTA. Everything went smooth without a hitch. Nothing and I mean nothing of my data, Apps, Settings etc. was lost. I updated and grabbed the second OTA and saved it again to my External SD and went through with it. Funny thing was the first OTA updated via TWRP (ICS). Second OTA updated as expected due to the new bootloader knocking out my recovery for stock. After this I lost TWRP (ICS) and Root but retained all my settings, Apps, Data, etc. I was surprised.

I then Booted my Laptop into Ubuntu Linux and installed the new Recovery via ADB/Fastboot. After installing TWRP (JB), I booted up the new recovery (TWRP JB) through the bootloader menu on the Nabi2 and to my surprise, when checking to see, my settings were still present from before in TWRP. I then restarted the recovery ( TWRP ) to then have it ask me that my device is not rooted and if I would like to root it before I restart recovery. No brainer...... I swiped for yes. Back into recovery I went and all appeared okay. Restarted to system and all is good, rooted running 4.1 with all my apps, setting, data still there. Even ALL the Google apps are working perfect.

I didn't expect the OTA to keep it how I had it before with all the Launchers I had as well ( x6 ). I'm impressed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brownel02:
Sorry for the repeat post in another Nabi thread but we don't have our own sub forum here and I wanted to make sure those in the know got this info:

When I flash this recovery via fastboot, and then attempt to boot to recovery, I am still booting to stock recovery. Thoughts?

EDIT:

So tried a couple more times. If I boot to recovery-kernel from the bootloader after flashing TWRP it works fine, but not if I reboot after flashing TWRP. Whatever, got root now which is all I cared about anyways.

Try dropping this RESTORE.bat in the folder and running it. If you haven't deleted any of the images it downloaded when running RESIZE.bat this should work. Run it, and then restore data, and system. It will wipe the data/media(internal storage again so if you have anything new that you want to keep better move it).

Okay just in case some of you were wondering

Xposed framework

works great and so does "

Advanced Power Menu module

" Having the extra menus including "screen shot" is a plus when waning to go back to recovery or fastboot. Of course with this you need to be rooted.

I'm downloading this now. Thanks for the quick work, ill post the results as i might need help. worse case i should be able to use someone else's backup to repartition as the should be the same right?

Edit: Just compared my partitionold to codest3r's partitionOLD and his is diffrent. I think I overwrote the good backuped zip with my crashed partition info. Does anyone have a good backup I can restore with? I'll try to add my files so you can compair

Edit 2: aic, is the restore.bat uploaded on your site? I keep getting errors that it cant find it

Could someone kindly post the camera.apk?, i dont have one in system/app and camera doesnt work. Thanks.

Just did JB OTA, very nice of them. 4.2.2. With apps to SD would be better though.

Having problems installing the OTA on my kids tablet. I am on 4.0.4 and when i download the OTA and install the update, it gets as far as recovery, looks likes its installing and then the robot stops. Stays like that for a few mins and then reboots. I had reset the tablet thinking it would help plus to get rid of some of the apps she had downloaded.

Anybody got a zip of the OTA or a zip of the the full rom i could just install through TWRP? I havent done much with this tablet, got it for her last Xmas and then heard about Jellybean being released for it. She is going to be cross in the morning lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thajacka:
Same thing happens to me, it's trying to do 2.1 update first
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
You are currently on 2.1.27 trying to go to 2.3?

Is it erroring on first update or second of the 2.3 update? Only thing I can think of is this line:

set_perm(0, 0, 0544, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");

can you verify that /system/etc/install-recovery.sh exists?

So you are on 2.0.5 trying to go to 2.1 first and then on to 2.3?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Finally finished deleting all the extra apps and Monarch UI apk's including the videos and music that's loaded in.

With all my Apk's I have a total of 1.72 GB of usefull space.

For some reason I can not find the Camera APK. Apps to SD would have been nice though. For settings go to your app drawer and find the settings APK.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilsonf:
I installed the ota and everything was fine. Installed the Disney/Nick TWRP and rooted and fine also. Then I installed the minions lockscreen zip and now the tab just stays on the Nabi logo when rebooting
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Those are made for ICS and not JB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nilsonf:
You're right. Didn't think of that. Will download 2.1 tomorrow and try to sideload it and go from there
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Only way to get out of that is to restore backup, you flashed a file named minions_210.zip the 210 is for firmware version 2.1

On another note I have succefully started to update my lockscreens and this time No hassle with installation just flash in recovery took me all day, tried about 4 different apk tools, but found out why all the hassle to install the ICS 210 lockscreen.zips the problem was I was signing a system apk;

not suppose to do that unless you sign all the apk's in the system folder

Also the naming convention changed on the png files as well as the sizes, and also the absolute path or directory of files, also found out how to change the background wallpaper in Daddy mode, Cool huh.

Will update the Frozen lockscreens first, then the rest will follow, but since it's close to Christmas I will post the Ariel lockscreen, BUT MAKE A BACKUP FIRST not yelling just trying to prevent any hiccups since we are too close to Christmas.

The new naming convention is the new update version https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34899689/ariel_2.3.11.zip

Its the same ariel picture as the previous 210.zip

Lol I have no clue how I got the Disney partition. Maybe it was going to be flashed as that at the factory then they got lazy? When I first tried to expand using the resize it crashed after the backup was made (where it asked you to then reboot onto twrp) my data cable came unplugged so I had to restart from there. I guess that's the trick.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Did you only run the original script once or more then once? It doesn't seem like it took the 18/GPT. Can i see the partiontableMOD, and ORIG txt files?

There certainly is a way. I'm just concerned as to what your original device was, I remember someone had a similar partition structure way back when, I think it was a madagascar version or something. Since you ran the script more then once it also clouds which images are which. It also now makes sense to me why you had issues with the 2 partitions flashing because you had 19 partitions to start with, and turned it into a 18 partition device. It also means that we don't have your partition 19/GPT saved, that's not the end of the world because we can recreate it. The biggest issue is the bricksafe.img, if you ran it twice and overwrote it this may be trickier.

Hard to tell, no one has ever shared a UK rom so it can be examined. That said removing the device check at the beginning of the update script

"could work" because it completely wipes system, I'm not sure what the differences are on the addon partition either which could cause problems with the script running. If you do a full TWRP backup with 2.6.3, and full these days means boot, system, data, AND addon(just one copy of addon per software rev) you can blaze a trail and see.
