If im not mistaken OTA stands for over the air updates. and if you root and flash a new rom to your phone you wont have that available to you. There are a few 4.2 roms look in the galaxy nexus forums for your specific phone carrier, Sprint, verixon, or gsm. and read. A lot of questions can be answered by reading everything in the forums. you look at

You will have to convert to tajku or yajku firmware versions since those get the updates the fastest. I believe there is a sticky related to this...

Never even heard of rooting before last week. I decided to buy the Nabi 2 for my sons Christmas gift

Trying to get the thing rooted, Im a total No0b at this :)

Ill try to explain at what point in the process im at... When i type "adb devices" in the command promt the nabi is listed (some serial number)

but when I type "fastboot devices" i get nothing listed

I tried running the root process and got a andriod guy laying down with a red exclamation point over his corpse, also alot of "cant recognize device" error messages in the command menu

I dont think fastboot is working... can anyone tell me how to enable fastboot?

Thanks so much

Update*

Ok I just tried to run the root installer a different way (last time i was in the bootloader menu)

This time the tablet was fully loaded and screen unlocked. I ran option number "1".

The command promt returned this:

# waiting for device . . .

# If stuck here drivers are not installed

The system cannot find the path specified

# Rebooting device

The system cannot find the path specified

# press enter when you see text on the screen after Nabi logo

# If stuck here drivers are not installed

press any key to continue . . .

What drivers? I used PdaNetZ350 to install drivers... I dont know what im doing wrong

I am having the same exact problem. I have reviewed the jmz method and keep getting stuck in cmd saying path not specified. Any solutions. All steps have been followed to the letter.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
Make sure you are only selecting option #2 in the script, option #1 doesn't work. Follow the on screen instructions exactly. If it isn't recognizing the nabi in the script than the drivers aren't installed or try a different usb port. I couldn't get it to work on my win 8 laptop but was successful on my windows 64bit desktop. Using the pdanet drivers is the key. Just because you can plug the nabi into your computer and see the drive contents doesn't mean the drivers are loaded. Windows sees the nabi as a media device and uses generic mtp drivers that won't work with adb. Once you have successfully rooted your nabi, go back into recovery and install the gapps.zip separately. Enjoy!

This thread goes through doing it manually, it is written for Ubuntu(linux) but it can be used in windows as well, you just don't use sudo for the commands. Also the package in the following thread already has the updated gapps package that does away with the "android upgrading" on every boot.

Had ''path not specified'' it gets to the if stuck here drivers aren't installed. A window pops up saying ''installing fast boot'' but then says it failed. Thats where im stuck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperlativeB:
I know i'm years late here but I really HATE adb and esp. BAT files that are just suppose to do their thing........I'm hitting a wall with this Nabi 2 Bat file for TWRP / ROOT. I've used PDAnet plenty in the past for internet but never for the purpose of just getting drivers so I have no idea I hate that program too. ANYWHO , I'm getting "cannot find specified path" which I probably could fix if I ****ing knew which ****ing path it was looking for. SO if anyone could please enlighten me here , I've installed and uninstalled PDA net some 10 times now , with Samsung selected , with LG selected with OTHER selected , I cannot get this to work. I can do FASTBOOT devices , and poof it shows up , adb works fine all that , show the device but I cannot get this ****ing BAT all in one installion to work. I'm really just about to flash it all manually through ADB but I'd rather use the installer to make sure I get the random WINGS files removed or whatever. Any help would be great , thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
From bricking this pos I have learned a lot of what to do and what not to do. I am pretty sure but need to know for certain...is there a fix for this?

Like many others I tried to install cwm recovery from android terminal emulator and sounds like I either put the image in the wrong spot or tried to install over something important. Odin doesnt work on this phone and rom manager just kept giving me the messaging has stopped working error, I soft bricked once before this but was able to flash and fix. I installed cwm recovery from rom manager I thought but was not able to boot in recovery. Ive read tons of posts and tried all the little tricks. No download mode, never could boot in recovery, had to install the qhsusb_dload drivers and now when connected to pc its a 50/50 chance of either good connect sound or bad connect sound...either way the phone doesnt power on at all. Can someone help me or should I sell this to someone who can make use of it? I have flashed and rooted many phones in the past and used to come here regularly, this has always been the BEST site for answers and help so Im really hoping you tech devs can pull through for me on this one. Any help is appreciated!
[LG Nitro HD] Maverick.Marq:
What do you mean ROM manager stops working if your phone is hard bricked.

I'm not surprised Odin doesn't work I thought that was for Samsung phones but I've never used it.

Anyways I understand you think you might have used the adb shell and copied the cwm recovery to the wrong partition do you remember which it could have been?

boot.img at mmcblk0p8

recovery.img at mmcblk0p13

firmware.img at mmcblk0p1

baseband.img at mmcblk0p14

system.img at mmcblk0p27

Also I'm sure its been said but make sure you have a decent charge leave it plugged into the wall for at least an hour without trying anything.

I just am curious you don't see lg logo? battery animation? anything?
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
thanks for replying. i have tried switching batteries, waited overnight, tried everything i could find on here and no power no logo no start up whatsoever. i was getting so desperate to get cwm recovery to work that i probably followed directions i shouldnt have. i followed a youtube vid and typed the following into the terminal;

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096

after this i powered off the phone and it never came back to life since. the problem with rom manager was it wouldnt update cwm recovery, even though i just installed it the night before, the next day there was a new update it said. every time i tried to install a rom from rom manager it force closed and said messaging has stopped working. (what messaging had to do with it i dont know) when i plugged in my phone to pc it said couldnt find qhsusb_dload drivers so i installed them and now my phone doesnt show up on my pc. i read somewhere to try lgtools but that comes with its own problems like smartcard driver errors. i hope this is enough info thanks
[LG Nitro HD] Maverick.Marq:
When you ran the command "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096": you broke your phone.

Those instructions must have either been completely wrong or instructions for another phone.

Basically you installed the recovery right between boot and firmware thus bricking your phone. You can buy tools to fix it bit that costs big $$$

Sorry for the bad news. I've been trying to find out if this phone has UART capabilities. I'll post it here if I find anything useful
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
thanks, the news is no surprise as i have been reading other posts that say the same thing. its too bad i paid $700 for this brand new over a year ago...thats a pricey brick. hopefully someone will be able to fix it as i am not willing to spend too much more on tools to fix it i will just sell it for parts or something. thanks for taking the time to look into this for me and let this be a lesson to all you other noobs who want to make the nitro better. DO NOT FOLLOW MY LEAD
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Never seen a phone technically hard bricked so I ask how installing the recovery between the boot and firmware would prevent from accessing Download mode? Logic would tell me, which can be wrong :) , that Download Mode comes before either of those thus no matter where he flashed recovery, download mode is still accessible. Please explain. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: From what I just read, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 makes a backup for the NitroHD before flashing the recovery. Found here. And, according to the article, the other command he ran was the recovery flash w/ the second command he used as a repeat, or excess.
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
after reading the above i noticed this is where i might have gone wrong.

[ NOTE: If you inadvertently copied "recovery.img" to the external or removable SD card, replace "/sdcard/" in the command above with "/sdcard/_ExternalSD/"

i didnt see this command in the first place but i did copy the recovery.img right to the removable sd card. im guessing the mistake i made is irreversible.

Apprently this person had the same problem as you. Many told that person it was hard bricked which is just strange to me b/c I've never seen a totally bricked phone, but apparently this is my first.
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
im being told its hard bricked but fingers crossed that im wrong. ive bricked many phones but always been able to fix them, this is my first possible HARD BRICKED device. when someone says they havent seen an actual hard bricked phone that kind of gives me a little hope.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
That's the same boat I'm in. I've had 4 phones and fudged all of them to the point I thought I was bricked but could ALWAYS get download mode and flash stock firmware. I'm thinking you wrote over download mode thus not being able to access it and killing the phone. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Patiently waiting for maverick.marq to explain b/c I'm cursed w/ the having to know the how-to-the-why. :)

Just to be clear, you're trying to get to download mode by holding the vol UP button and plugging in to PC w/ phone off, right?
[LG Nitro HD] Maverick.Marq:
I'm assuming that all of the first sector p1 to p8 must be intact for download to work and since he wrote his recovery to p6 I assume it took out both firmware and recovery as (again a lot of assuming) the processor says OK look for firmware in block p1 doesn't find a complete image and it and then fails to boot.
[LG Nitro HD] msincorporated:
i have held vol up, vol down, power, home, etc ive tried all the buttons. its my only phone so i will not give up easily i will continue to try all options until i either fix or replace it. this would have not happened if i could have only gotten the cwm recovery to flash properly the first time. i dont know why rom manager kept force closing and giving me the messaging error. i tried rom toolbox and it too gave me the same error. i soft bricked it and ended up getting stuck on the logo with security error but that was an easy fix. this is the only phone ive had a problem flashing, but this is a good learning experience. if i get it back up and running im not even going to try to mess with it after that.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Well, best of luck b/c it doesn't look promising from all I've read on this similar issue. :/
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:

thanks this was something i was curious about, i am going to contact them monday about it
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
mmcblk0p6 is the secondary bootloader. The idea is if you mess up your primary bootloader, you'll still be able to access download mode since it uses its own separate bootloader. By overwriting the secondary bootloader, you're making it impossible to use download mode.
[LG Nitro HD] tibough:
how did you get the security error fixed?.....im stuck and cant access the recovery or download mode...:(
[LG Nitro HD] dante501:
Did u try flashing the stock kdz back on to it? Can u access download mode? Not recovery I am talking about the download mode. And yeah this phone is a pos when it comes to battery I am using a fat 3800 may battery and when I get lucky it maybe last 14 hours. This phone has so bad battery consumption. No matter what ROM I use.

Anyone else Bricked there Unlocked TF201 and sent it in to Asus for Repair?

I had tried to upgrade to the latest TWRP with the ADB method (su, then ... dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4) and then rebooted the device. At that point I was hosed :( . I had Bricked it to the point where it would only display the initial ASUS Logo screen and then go into a boot loop. I figured out that if I used Power+Volume Up it would go into an APX mode, where NVFLASH could kinda of see it. As I understand it, if I had taken the precaution to Backup my Blob file I could have recovered... well, lesson learned.

But any way, I called ASUS and they told me it was no longer in warranty since I unlocked it. I asked for an approximate cost to reload the OS and was told $87.00

Well, after 7 days I get an email telling me I am out of warranty because I unlocked it and the Cost for repair would be...

Parts - $161.00 (Motherboard)

Labor - $65.00

Why do they need to replace the Motherboard. Don't they have the power to just reload the OS?? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrbanDroid:
This is the only way they fix this issue. It seems to me that they should be able to push the OS to the bricked prime with a factory cable of sorts, (like the guys over on the motorola forums do) but it looks like they instead just swap the motherboards out... I don't quite understand the process as to why they would need to do this either. Its probably some BS because we unlocked our primes... In this case im just going to purchase a prime with a broken screen and swap the motherboard myself. Much cheaper that way.

fix for brick

I was considering buying a broken tf201 and swapping processors, but you can get a "refurbished" tf201 for $275 on ebay.

So, instead of sending ASUS $220, I'll buy a semi-new tf201, and use my old bricked one for future parts.

It is a shame asus wont just reload the flash, but I guess it is their business model :(

on stock rom(stock rogers rooted) shows 4g mostly but when i revert back to cm10 stable it bounces from 3g to h+. okay so i did a little comparison and while on stock it flips from HSPA+ 15 and UMTS: 3 but it only shows 4g. on cm10 it flips from HSPAP - 15 and UMTS: 3 but when it does that it shows 4g and 3g respectively. Now i know that custom roms especially this one shows "true" data and that they don't really align with the stock but i don't remember ever seeing 3g. Also, the current modem is 1747MVLLH1 but it doesn't match the two modems listed in another post titled "complete modem list" and they are: I747MVLLE8 and/or I747MLALH1. do i have the right modem?
