[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
You're not supposed to be sitting 1.5m (5ft) from a 42" TV... They're not designed for that.

A 42" 1080p TV has an effective DPI of 48. A monitor has 72. High quality print is 300+.

If you want to read text on a TV that close, you'll need at least a 4K TV.
[Off-topic] warface123:
As [MENTION=3264549]ShadowLea[/MENTION] says. TV's are not designed for that stuff. Even with 4K it sometimes looks weird from close distance. I can tell that from my own experience with a Samsung curved 55 inch.

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've bricked--like totally bricked--my Nabi 2. On startup, it goes to the Nabi logo, flashes black for a moment and returns to the logo, and is unresponsive. I've tried starting up holding vol+, but nothing happens; no bootloader gets loaded.

How can I restore my device? I have installed nabilabs on my PC, but the Nabi device isn't recognized. I have installed both 32/64 bit drivers. I've also installed pdanet.

Thanks for your responses.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
I have a similar situation. Major difference is that TWRP (v2.8.4.0) is installed and running, but there's no OS on it otherwise. I have tried various downloads (such as "246stock.zip", and TWRP says there was an error installing on ALL zip files I have tried. It can't be a bad download, since I have re-downloaded the files,. on different machines, and I get the same error each time. NabiLab and NabiLabGUI don't seem to work if there is not already a working OS on the tablet.

Seems like what I need is something like the microSD-based flash/install I used for my Nook Tablet (acclaim) to put CM11 on it. Is there, in fact, a way to outright flash a .IMG file of some sort onto this? Or have I already ruined this already worthless P.o.S.? At this point I'd be just as happy to run something like CyanogenMod on it, and forget the disaster that is the Nabi2 interface and bloatware (then hunt down some other utility for time and access controls).

Images tried, all of which gave me "Error flashing zip"

1937stock.zip

205stock.zip

2127stock.zip

246stock.zip

:mad:
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Those zips aren't flashable. You have to extract and restore them.

Do a back up of just the boot partition in TWRP. Just check "boot" and nothing else. Make sure you are backing up to external storage(MicroSD card)

Install 2.4.6 ROM and bootloader.

- Put SD card in computer. Navigate to the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXX. XXX is a serial number unique to your Nabi.

- Make a new folder and call in whatever you want. So it should now look like TWRP/BACKUPS/XXX/yourfolder

- Unzip the 246stock.zip files you downloaded in to the "yourfolder" you created above. The files should look like ext4.system.win, emmc.boot.win, ext.addon.win, etc. This should set you up for the 2.4.6 ROM.

- Download this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50349692&postcount=89

- Copy it to the SDcard. This will be for the bootloader update.

- Put sdcard in Nabi

- Boot to TWRP

- Go to restore tab, and find the backup under the "yourfolder" you made and unzipped the files to.

- You should be able to select boot, system, and addon and skip the others.

- If everything restores then go to TWRP install tab, find the bootloader.zip you downloaded and install it.

- Reboot

Alternatively you can "restore" the new kitkat for Nabi. Just replace the instructions for 2.4.6 files above with these below.

3.0.13 stock zip

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djOFQ1a0cwQjVEV2M/view?usp=sharing

3.0.13 bootloader

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djcnVTYjI0dTJSQjA/view?usp=sharing

Not sure how bad your situation was but you may have to do a factory reset in TWRP as well. Try that if it doesn't boot after successfully doing the above.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
Just an update, I managed to get a warranty replacement, because it decided it didn't want to charge anymore. Got one of the newer units as a replacement, which has the much better power connector, and am running it as-is for the time being (their updated firmware isn't *as* bad, will have to see what happens with the Mattel ownership).
[Fuhu Nabi 2] biglerad:
I am having the same type of issue. I currently have TWRP v2.3.3.0 (Nabi 1.9.3.7) installed, but it shows no OS installed. I attempted to restore to the 30.0.13 stock at got the following message:

E:Unable to wipe '/system'.

and got the Failed on the screen. I also attempted to use the wipe function on the system and got E: Unable to mount for /data, /data, /system, /cache, /data, /addon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
You don't have the right TWRP version probably. That's the ICS version. Try the JB or KK version. http://xdaforums.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
OK, I had managed to repair the Nabi2s which was bricked before (the trick to "backup" the core files of the specific system, then extract files from 2_0_141107stock.zip), and restore. But for some reason it lost WiFi completely, so I figured I'd try re-flashing again. Now I have no TWRP, and cannot even make the device visible to boot to TWRP. Is it time to take out the sledgehammer, then send the pieces back to the founders at what used to be Fuhu?

I have gone round ans round on the site, tries to find which threads I had followed before, and I seriously think I NEVER want to buy another device where I can't wipe the HDD with a dd command, and boot an installer with a USB or DVD ever again.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
If you can get to the bootloader screen you should be able to bring up fastboot and get TWRP back on tablet(or just boot to TWRP temporarily)

Did that tablet ever receive an update past KitKat?

No Wifi is usually one of two things.

1) Kernel(boot partition) doesn't match kernel modules(system partition). Fix: Restore both boot and system in TWRP.

2) The wifi conf is bad. Fix: Factory reset/wipe data partition Note: loses all personal data.

3) I suppose if there was an update past kitkat, maybe the bootloader or the misc partition got an update. Don't go down that route yet.

Here is the general flow for restoring things, should have everythin you need if you can get fastboot to come up:

There's the problem. At this point the tablet only gets as far as the initial Nabi logo. Trying the "<Vol+><power>" option gives me the "Booting Android recovery..." followed shortl by the dead android. That's all the tablet will do.

Is there no way to make a microSD boot? That was what I would do with my Nook Tablet ("acclaim"). Seriously, whomever thought Android should be automatically locked out from the very people who bought/paid for/own the devices should be smacked by each and every Android user out there.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] stealitall:
Thanks very much for the info. Took me 2 days to find this.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
All these instructions presume I can get to a "recovery/bootloader" screen, which this tablet will NOT do. It gets the initial Nabi logo, and that's as far as it will ever go. You could leave it there for 5 hours and that's all it will do (happened to do that once letting it charge, and the Nabi likes to boot as soon as it gets power).

I would try your "nvflash", but it's a MSWin executable, and I'm running Linux.

I'm just wondering; if I had the appropriate image file, is there a way to do a raw dump/write to the USB port, forcing the data to a particular device? If I tail /var/log/syslog, then plug in the Nabi2s, I get these messages in the syslog (and nothing else from the tablet after that):

kernel: [ 5973.824134] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
kernel: [ 5973.986609] ehci-pci 0000:00:1d.7: port 1 reset error -110

kernel: [ 5975.346686] ehci-pci 0000:00:1d.7: port 1 reset error -110

In theory there should be a raw device there somewhere (lsusb doesn't see it)

Hello i have a serious problem with nabi jr tab of my friend's , the model no. is SNBJR-MT5C , my friend was using busybox and adb , when he tried to add .bak file for fuhu in system/apps ,because he wanted to get rid of the password each time device starts, this resulted in a bootloop , because there was no twrp installed , as this device was running kitkat , he tried using a backup from here somewhere in xda but without scatter and files.md5 , so he manually make files.md5 and generated scatter from mtk droid tools from firmware.info , but when he tried flash from sp flash tool , it did not accept that scatter, because pre-loader and mbr has start address 0 , because scatter version was wrong, mtk droid tools generated MT6582_sctter.txt, but it was MT8127 SoC , MT6582 - v111, MT8127 - v112 , so he got v112 from somewhere , and then retried and it got DA(Download Agent) error , so he made a mistake and changed DA and it bricked it completely , now its black screen and it wont turn on , even wont go in fastboot/recovery mode by holding power button and volume + or - buttons , also not showing anything in pc device manager , its totally dead , does anyone had the same experience ? or can anyone guide me about anything? Thanks
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
I managed to get all the pieces of my daughter's Nabi 2S in one place (well, except for the bumper, I had multiples so I must have one still available. But did find the right charger cable). Since she has a different tablet to use for now (I was given 4 XO tablets; one, maybe two actually work) I could send this to a developer who wants to dabble with the hardware. Mind you, it's bricked, so it powers up but can't get to recovery menus, etc. The Nabi 2S doesn't appear to have the solder joints to do a forced recovery, but there is something that looks like it might be a button to do the same thing.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
It's April 2018, if there's a developer who wants to try out other experiments on a Nabi2s that's otherwise bricked, you can still contact me.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] masonpmarsh_:
The same thing happened to me. I fixed it by installing the latest twrp version available on the forum and it fixed the issue where you can't mount anything. Also: make sure to wipe the data after installing or it will do nothing. I'm not sure if this is just happening to me, but if you get a blank screen just restart it until it gets to the twrp menu. if you have no sd card, use a pc (Install the drivers if you haven't) or Mac to side load the image through adb.

wait.. I meant to say that you install it by putting the device in fast boot.

[AirDroid] GDS1:
Hi, friend!

You need to check "Push service". Then just type web adress in your browser and it will automatically connect.

"Start on launch" isn't autorun after reboot, it means start service after app launch.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

BTW, method described by me above isn't working with AirDroid app on desktop (how it behaves on Mac I don't know).

For connecting with Windows app you need to manually run AirDroid on smartphone and click "Start" (or, if you have "Start on launch" option enabled, just launch the app). According to this situation I can tell that push service is not working with desktop app, only with web version.
[AirDroid] demontager:
Hey zemlyak!

I found very useful app to start AirDroid at boot time https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autostart It works even on unrooted devices and it free.
[AirDroid] GDS1:
I think that there is no point to use this app if you use web version of AirDroid. But for those who use Windows app it may be useful. :good:
[AirDroid] demontager:
I use Linux machine to connect to cell phone, and mostly using via LAN. This app is very usefull for me anyway, i don't need to start Airdroid on phone manually in case i forgot to start it after reboot.
[AirDroid] Metah4 Genome:
I am going to download this right away!
[AirDroid] wezman2k:
What's the deal with this? I have an HTC One m8 on VZW running all the latest firmware and whatnot and for some reason I can't connect to Airdroid until I manually start the app. It is very frustrating, considering I paid $20 for the premium service.

Is this expected behavior? I feel like this is not the way it's supposed to be working...

So I basically went into my drawer today, and found my old Nexus 4 and might I add its looking far from okay

Anyway, the problem is, the display will light up when turned on and the phone will obviously function as normal, apart from one thing, the display won't actually show a picture, just what looks like the backlight, and the touchscreen therefore will not respond, I basically have no screen for the phone

I need to get rid of this phone but first I want all my files gone, or at least I want them all backed up on my PC, as we as this I need some sort of screen mirroring software I can setup on my PC to actually see my messages, so here's what I am asking for

1. Is there a way I can push every file from my phone to my PC?

2. Bearing in mind I have no display/touchscreen so I can't install apps, is there anyway I can mirror the screen to my laptop?

I will add that the phone does have root with a custom ROM (I think CM11) and I am not sure if ADB debugging is on, I haven't checked this phone for 7 months

so you can try auto rec in order to flash recovery again .

you can enter download mode and go back to stock with kdz

or hmm you can use fastboot if you know how to push files etc etc
