[AT&T LG Optimus G] CollinFX45:
This may be a question for another thread, but my update failed (guessing because my phone is rooted). If I temporarily un-root my phone and apply the update, would it work? I can then go back and root it again if need be, but I really just wanted to remove some AT&T apps and that was the only reason I rooted it in the first place.

Now I wonder if I've created a headache for myself in regards to updates. I should have done more research before rooting! :confused:

-Collin-
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lyall29:
Like Deathmonkey said, the update fails because of your custom recovery. You would have to flash your stock recovery in order to receive the OTA. I think you can see how yo do this in the rooting guide thread.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] faisalsiddiqui:
what is the latest version of the software on your phone? I have E97010o, i sthis the latest version? I have a really bad battery drain due to fast dormancy on 3g and just wanted to check if the latest version takes care of this.

Regards
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CollinFX45:
Man, I'm really sorry to be an idiot, but I couldn't find what you were talking about. I found the root guide in this forum, but there's zero mention of a recovery. Can you point me to the thread? Sorry, and thank you again.

-Collin-
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ngeds:
I was under the impression that only the unlock installs a custom recovery. Does the root do this too?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CollinFX45:
That's a good question. All I did was root and uninstall a few AT&T apps. That's it. I haven't installed any custom recovery, but maybe that was done somehow?

Lesson learned for me: don't go messing with crap until I do my research :)

Edit: tried a hard reset, no luck of course. Only thing that did for me was buy me two hours now of trying to reinstall my apps. This is depressing.

Sorry to bump this back up. Just got my phone last night and rooted it with this method - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941699

This morning I saw that my phone has an update available. Is it safe to update if I defrost all my frozen bloatware (I did not delete any of them, just frozen)?

I've read that I should not do OTA if I unlocked the bootloader whichI have not done, only root. I also searched and found out that I should not do OTA if I have a custom recovery which I do not think I have from the rooting directions from the thread above. Just trying to be cautious.

This update does not fix our fast_dormancy problem. I tried it on my OG the first couple days. I am now rooted, unlocked and running nottach custom att Rom.

Hi Ive been trying to root my Nabi 2 tablet to access the Google Play Store. Ive downloaded ADB and followed instructions, Ive also got the correct drivers etc, when i ran the root tool by jmz I chose option 1 and it ran through the process, is there anything else I need to during during this as I then booted up and it was just the same as before?! Im normally an apple fan and experienced in jailbreaking etc but this is my first android as Im trying to exchange all my apple devices for android lol. Can some help me find a step by step full tutorial as Ive been trying to follow the one in this link here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1905674 but I cant understand what else I need to do?!

There's no need to root the nabi for the play store...

http://everythingnabi.blogspot.com/2012/08/googlie-booglie.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownel02:
Interesting, except for step 21:

21. Do not update or attempt to install any apps, as it will force close the Google Play Store. The apk file installed is not fully functional on the nabi 2 Tablet. It does however allow for the purchase of Books, Movies and Music. The following pop-up will appear if you attempt to update or purchase an app.

If you root you will have a fully functional Play Story as well as text AND video on Google Talk plus many other features

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravx25:
I want to get Google Play working on my son's Nabi 2 as well, but I'm pretty concerned over the touch calibration issue some people are having on the ROM thread about rooting it. I've only had one android device (my galaxy s2) and thought about rooting it, but couldn't find an overly compelling reason to do so. Now that the Nabi 2 needs it, I would be loathe to brick it/mess it up to get this calibration issue. Even if I try on my s2, this Nabi seems a tad different for some reason.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
That is a very rare issue. If you root it and have a problem with the touch screen it only effects recovery software once it's rooted and gapps installed you won't have to go back to recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
It is indeed a rare issue, if the script goes fine, you shouldn't have to do anything in recovery yourself anyway. Here is the gapps.zip that fixes the 'android upgrading' on every boot.

It's written for Ubuntu, but the commands are easy to adapt for Windows as well. You install adb and fastboot differently and you remove 'sudo' from the commands.

Do you really need Google Play?

Nabi 2 works great with Amazon App store (over 50,000 apps). Ex. Unless I installed Minecraft PE, my son would have 2 tablets for Christmas, his with no minecraft and mine with. In daddy mode you can get amazon and the installed apps are manageable in the add/remove to decide which apps to allow your child to see. PS: DO NOT add Amazon store to Nabi mode (unless your child is older, or unless your rich and don't mind your child maxing out a credit card on apps). Personally, I have jailbroken ipads for friends and rooted my last Motorola phone, but I wouldn't risk and consequences of screwing up your child's brand new tablet. You can go from Hero to Zero if you mess up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shine 52:
How do I get the Amazon app store on the Nabi 2? I can't find it in the nabi app store.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t499user:
Have you heard of someone screwing up their Nabi2 from rooting/gappps?

Personally I would go ahead and root/gapps so you can have Google Play, use AdAway, etc etc.

Just be prepared to lose a bit more battery life when you install the Amazon app store. I have heard about it taking up a bit more battery due to licence checks, running in the background and such.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retty1:
Does anyone know if there is a fix for the WiFi problem?

Also - stupid question - is it technically feasible to install the Play store without rooting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
You have to take the ota to the latest software. That will fix your wifi. As far as the play store goes, you don't need to root, but you will have to install a custom recovery since the gapps.zip file must be installed through recovery. This will allow your Nabi to setup up your google account. There are alternative markets like 1 mobile market or Amazon App Store. Since Nabi isn't officially supported by the play store a lot of apps that should run will show as incompatible until google officially supports it.

Rooting is fairly painless using the jmz script. Just read up on the thread and use the new twrp and gapps.zip that is talked about later in that thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamarshall:
This worked GREAT thanks!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] green2000:
Has anyone has got past the issue that many apps in the play store show up as incompatible? I tried to look at all the Angry Bird games, but they all list as not compatible. Even noticed that Google Maps says the same thing. ??

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Install 1mobilmarket, that will allow you to download some of the apps the play store won't let you download. Otherwise, you will have to side load them by installing them from another source. Until the play store and Google officially support the Nabi. You can also modify the build.prop to make the market think you have a different tablet, but that will break nabi mode.

3. Which is the best ROM. (keeping aside the known bugs)

- Let me be brief and explain what's pro and cons of roms.

--> Sense/GB ROM: Laggy, Awesome UI, Good camera and video playback, less battery life.

--> CM/GB ROM: fast, crap ui (unless you theme it pretty good), lot of customizations, good battery life.

--> CM/ICS ROM: fast, clean, fair customizations, NO HQ playback. can be used as daily ROM, looks good, great battery life.

--> MIUI/ICS ROM: fast, pre installed apps, thousands of themes, same ics bugs, great customizations, great battery life.

--> CM/JB ROM: WIP means still not as stable and has many bugs. Can be fast, can be slow. Depends on builds, average battery life.
