Nabi 2 Disney return to stock for Dummies?

Pretty much what the title says, I've got a Nabi 2 Disney model that I rooted (at least I think I did) in an attempt to free up more space on the tablet, and would now like to restore to stock so we can get the OTA 3.0 to KitKat update.

While there are a lot of informative posts here some of this stuff is beyond me, even being an IT guy myself (but not a lot of experience with Android, other than what comes with our phones, tablets etc.).

Are there any guides to returning the Nabi 2 to stock from a beginners standpoint, or really good step by step that even someone like me can understand? Here is the information that I have:

Model

NABI2-NV7A

Edition

NABI2-NV7A-US-D

Android Version

4.1.1

TWRP v2.8.5.0 Nabi Jellybean

To make things more interesting (of course) I cannot locate the stock image to recover it with, when I go into recovery in TWRP there is no package to restore, checked the external microSD and there is nothing there either. The original laptop I used to root the Nabi originally has since been wiped so I can't even look for it there.

Can this thing be restored to Disney stock without losing the "Disney" customization? Can TWRP be removed to allow the OTA update to install? We can download the OTA update just fine but when it reboots the Nabi goes right into TWRP.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Should be possible. Yes TWRP can be removed, it depends on the OTA but TWRP can sometimes deal with the OTA as long as it's not a 2 part update.I would do the following, EXCEPT I don't have a Nabi Disney, and the restore I made has never been tested. Up to you if you want to try but Nabi Disney is almost impossible to brick.

-You should have a backup of your current system before starting.

-Best done with external SD card.

-Boot to TWRP by booting tablet to bootloader menu. (With tablet powered down press and hold both Vol- and power)

-Select recovery kernel with vol keys

-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 3.0.4 Disney ROM and bootloader.

- Download 304 stock ROM http://www.nabtabhacks.com/downloads/304D.zip

- 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 304D.zip file 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 3.0.4 ROM.

- Download the KK304bootloader zip attached to bottom of this post.

- 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 on the external SD card 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 KK304bootloader.zip you downloaded and install it.

- Reboot

At this point you should start using the KK TWRP going forward. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62826514&postcount=2639

If all this works you wont need to restore stock recovery as you will be on the latest. Of course you are the first one to attempt to use this 304D AFAIK.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] TMOSteel:
Just what I needed, thanks for this, hopefully by Sunday I'll get to this and report back how it went (can't handle anymore "Daddy when are you going to fix my Nabi" questions...).
[Fuhu Nabi 2] TMOSteel:
It worked like a charm, followed your instructions to a T, shut it down once or twice as it seemed to get stuck on "loading" or "syncing" screen (sorry, forgot which) after the modules were updated but eventually everything loaded and then we had to sign in with the Nabi ID like it was the first time.

All the Disney apps are still there that we didn't remove to make room for the update but I'll think we'll trim things down more as there is now less than 500MB of free space on the internal memory.

Still a lot of demos she doesn't play with so I'll let her enjoy things for a few days and then we'll start thinning things out.

Thanks again for all your help, people like you are what make the internet a great place.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
So glad it worked. I owned a Disney edition for about a day and a half however many years ago, and I had to make that ROM by just reverse engineering it up to the latest version. Never had a chance to see if it actually worked until now. So thank you! ;)
[Fuhu Nabi 2] mjw2k11:
Can i use this rom on my non-disney version? would it add all the extra disney stuff?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
The partition sizes for "system" and "addon" are different between the Nabi2 orig, Nick, and Disney versions. For example if the the system partition for the Original is 500MB you can't install the 800MB ROM for the Disney, it won't fit.

That said, with nvflash it is possible to change the partition sizes... but for even the above average technical person it's not possible.

A Decent looking flip cover

Hello so with my Moto x style on its way i have been hunting for a good looking flip cover.

But the ones i have found so far look super cheap and ugly adding a fair bit of bulk to the device.

Im looking for something like the flip cover you can get for the one plus one from there store its sleek black adds little to no extra bulk.

Has hardly any over hang and most important the phone is firmly in place and wont fall out.

I have been looking on both ebay and amazon and done a general google search without much luck.

And its only semi decent i cant post a link yet cause i don't have 10 posts and while its decent its not quite what im looking for
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] jphilippon:
Looking for one like this that is perhaps magnetic, and definitely DOESN'T have card slots.

You know, like the samsung ones. They're just a cover that shows the time through if you hit power.

How about this.. They have several different colors on Tetded.com no idea if its any good but it looks nice.

[X Style (Pure) Accessories] h@ns1976:
Actually I don't think it's worth the money, it looks quite cheap and at some points it doesn't really fit nicely especially in the lower right corner, there is some space between the back of the phone and the case. Will see what happens with it when I use it a bit more.

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Aganar:
I'm currently on a Verizon HTC One M7 and due for am upgrade. Rather than doing the two year subsidized contract, however, I am considering buying an unlocked version of the phone on Swappa for $400 or so and then just bringing that phone to Verizon.

Is this possible? Back in the day I recall that wouldn't work because Sprint and Verizon used CDMA bands while the rest used GSM with Sim cards and the like, but I thought I remember reading that it's no longer a problem on Verizon.

So can I buy an unlocked M9 and bring it over or does it have to be a Verizon specific model to work?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] michaelbsheldon:
Both the M8 and M9 will work well in the Verizon network. Honestly, the M8 is every bit as good

as the M9. Both will be updated to next Android operating system - Marshmallow. I personally like the M8

power switch placed on top right for useability, but that's personal to each user. Both have great screens and custom

roms built for them. Swappa is a great place to start your hunt after you decide which one you want.

p.s. Only get a Verizon CDMA phone, don't mess with AT&T GSM. - it IS specific due to which bands are active in the phone. It can be unlocked after S-0ff with card or clip.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Aganar:
So then you still need a Verizon specific phone to use their network. Gotcha.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
Not necessarily, but it's a massive headache to get it to work in most cases. I haven't personally done it with the m8 or m9 but I have with other phones. It's not like the nexus or motto x where you can just pop the card in and go (now that Verizon finally whitelisted the non Verizon sold versions of both). If it isn't whitelisted and you get it to work they tend to complain that you're using an unauthorized device and won't help you with network issues, etc. So TLDR get a Verizon version or a phone meant to be truly compatible with all carriers like the motto x, nexus 6, or the two new nexi released today.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Aganar:
So I went ahead and bought an M9 through swappa. Do I need to take it to Verizon to activate, or can I just pop in the SIM card from my M7?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
You may need to go get a new sim card from a store or have vzw send you one for VoLTE to work, but I may be wrong, you may be able to pop it in and just activate the VoLTE on your MyVerizon. :)

Enjoy M9
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
You'll need a sim card cutter or a new sim, going from m7 > m9.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Slacker101:
If you go to a corporate store (one that doesn't say premium retailer) and take the phone and your old phone with you they will give you a new sim for it and activate it for free.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Aganar:
Funny, I didn't read this reply but ended up having to do that anyway because I had forgotten my billing PIN and the retailer said I'd need to go to a corporate store to reset it. Glad I did, the retailer store wanted $25 for a new SIM card.

So in case anyone else tries this, the answer is : no. The M7 card doesn't fit in the M9. But the corporate store gave me a new one and activated it for free.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] woodfinx:
That's odd...I bought an unlocked HTC One M9 and it wouldn't work on Verizon I ended up having to buy the Verizon version.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
I just call the vzw 1-800 number and ask for them to send me a SIM card, they will send 1 free one without issue.

I've had 3-4 sent over the past years since nano and never been turned down. I like to have a backup laying around.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Buckhunter206:
Not Odd

No, that's not odd. He got a Verizon phone. Unlocked does not mean it works on Verizon. Unlocked only means that a phone is not locked into a specific carrier. It does NOT mean that the phone is compatible with every carrier's network. Verizon uses a CDMA network for its phones. Other than Sprint, everybody else uses a GSM network.

I'm certainly not an expert or even a techie, but I read somewhere that all 4GLTE phones operate on the same radio, which sounds like you should be able to use a 4G phone on any network, but that apparently is not the case ... maybe because 4G isn't available everywhere and phones have to be able to fall back on their 3G network? ... I'm not sure.

Bottom line, if you have Verizon, get a Verizon phone.

One final note ... that doesn't mean you have to buy your phone from Verizon. Swappa and eBay both have Verizon phones available. You just have to watch the fine print and don't trust text that says "works with any carrier." Make sure it says it works with Verizon.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Anyone else considering selling their S6 for one of the new Nexus phones being announced on Tuesday?

I would consider giving up the camera for vanilla android and the ability to do what I want with my device. The lag from time to time I get on CleanRom is driving me nuts as of late as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidiac13:
I might consider it once I get a chance to see it in person. The lag on my S6 has gotten terrible lately and I'm not sure what is causing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Same here. Are you stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
You might take a look at this. I think it could be wider scale than the S6.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62606917&postcount=3061

I tried it and it seemed to help. Could be placebo effect. I'm not sure how much service.jar's vary from phone to phone but I am on OE2. Here is a copy of mine. It goes in the system/framework folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Thanks, will take a look at that.

Just wiped my cache and dalvik in flashfire and will see if that helps at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] droidiac13:
Stock and rooted. I just can't believe how it is getting so bad. I was thinking about wiping it clean and taking the updates even. It's that bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Driving me crazy too. Phone is great otherwise. I do like me some vanilla Android though. That 6P even has one of Samsung's latest AMOLED panels. Nice. I'm going to wait a bit but I might end up selling my S6 and trying out that 6P.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Glitch4583:
I ordered a 64GB 6P within 15 minutes of the official announcement. So cool as this phone can be, TouchWiz on an unrooted device is making the experience more and more annoying. Plus, with vzw dragging their feet and USAA still "evaluating" Samsung Pay, the remaining features aren't enough to keep me on board.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] johnh123:
I ordered the 6p. Can't stand touchwiz or the lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dobbs3x:
I like the new nexus and the moto x but I can't give up the ir blaster and fingerprint and samsung pay is going to be freaking awesome. I might look into buying a tmobile s6 or note 5 and flash a rom on it if it can be bootloader unlocked and work on verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mpetruzz:
I created a bunch of order for a 5x and kept canceling them cause I wasn't sure about it. After reading some of the threads in the 5x forum I'm glad I decided to keep the s6.

Seems like build quality is hit or miss, battery life is way less and tons of lag along with terrible video due to no ois.

I'll keep my s6 thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Bxrider117:
I really like my S6. I'm rooted and I really love the camera. However, I want to be able to use Android pay or Samsung pay. I almost never carry cash and I always my credit card. I also want updates in a timely fashion.

After viewing some of the photos from the 6p, I'm excited to get the phone. My only hang up maybe with the size.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thesoldier:
Went with the 5x from my s6 and I'm really glad I did. Sure the camera and screen aren't quite as good, but I'm pretty happy with it. 1080p is plenty for a phone and with LCD I don't need to worry about burn in. So glad to be back in non locked down territory. It's pretty sad that even though the 5x has 1gb less RAM, it can hold more apps without redrawing them. If you're on the fence about switching, go for it. You can always return it to Google within 15 days if you don't like it.

I grabbed a Moto Maxx 2 using a trade in and got it for cheap and have enjoyed using it more than my S6 lately.

hi all

i'm using pdas for many years now, and always bought high quality over low price. same with sd-cards. if i can get a class6 device for a few euros more i would prefer that. but to come to the question: does it really matter? is a faster card really worth it? is class2 fast enough (regarding the internal sd-card interface of the pda?). i never really saw a big difference in every day use between fast and slow cards. and tools like pocket mechanic NEVER showed speeds close to the theoretical maximum of the card.

so what do you think ...

regards ize|man
[P3600 Accessories] qbom:
Hi

Fast cards worth the money but they must be stable too....

Bye

Jorge
[P3600 Accessories] Noony:
The trick is getting a card that works and is stable in your pda, AND able to read & quickly transfer data with your PC/card reader (need this for transfering movies/mp3s etc). In my opinion the speed is more benificial on the PC side.

Need to match PDA and memory card ...

I had an issue with any media player misbehaving, and try as I may could not get any music to play without skipping.

Finally I tracked it down to slow memory, namely of the Kingston variety. Having changed the Kingston mini4GB class 4 memory to Sandisk micro8GB class 4 memory all my media player problems seems to have gone away.

I was on the brink of flashing to a WM lite version under mis-belief that it would help. Also I thought of doing some extensive regedits to increase the memory access priority to the card etc. but it seems a more simple solution was at hand.

Match the memory card to the PDA

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtermmin:
The Verizon, Cricket, and AT&T models are bootloader locked and are not eligible for the Moto Bootloader Unlock program. On these models, you might be able to get root via kingroot, but most of the time it disappears after a reboot and /system remains read-only.

The factory-unlocked model sold by Moto directly and via Amazon ($100) is fully GSM unlocked, has all of AT&T's bands, and can be officially bootloader unlocked and fully rooted, so you can install TWRP recovery and flash away.
