[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00456:
That's unfortunate. I was about to say, "maybe the patent will expire in a decade or two," but by that time, we may not even use magnetic cards anymore.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RChadwick:
In theory, this should be possible. This technology simply activates a coil that creates the same magnetic pattern as if you swiped a card. The most difficult part would be getting software access to the coil to turn it on and off. The next small challenge would be to convert a card number to the proper magnetic pulses. I believe this is well documented, but not 100% sure. If not, a way around this might be to use one of those card readers that plugs into the headphone jack, swipe a card, record it, and just play it back through the coil. Once someone figures out how to control the coil, the rest is easy. Come to think of it, if the phone uses a non-piezo speaker, this recording could be played out the speaker. If it's turned up enough, and makes a strong enough magnetic field, it might be possible that holding the speaker close enough to the card reader would allow any old phone to have an open 'Samsung Pay'.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlmbklr:
I purchased a 32GB Micro USB OTG USB dongle. My hopes were to be able to easily transfer my TWRP backups to it since my Nexus 6 only has 32GB space can go fast. When I try to copy/move the files from the TWRP backup folder to the USB it fails with: E:mv "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS" "/usb-otg/Backups" process ended with ERROR=1

If I try to transfer the files using ES File explorer I also get a Copy Task Failed message but not summary as to why. So another question is; is there a log somewhere I can get that will explain the failure?

I so have the OTG USB mounted.

Is there something I am missing?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Ok, so I attempted to root a Nabi 2 so I could use the SD card to hold apps since the onboard memory is terrible and I bricked the dang thing. I unlocked root supposedly using a one click app method, then I was able to attempt to update using the updater already on the Nabi. During the reboot, thats when it bricked. It is stuck in a constant boot loop mode that eventually ends up on a dead android screen.

My main problem is I know there has got to be a way to restore a stock rom/os on it, but every how to guide out there assumes that I already know what the hell they are talking about. SDK, ADB, HIV, STD, its irritating. Also, I tried TWRP, ADB, etc. but since the Nabi is in a constant boot loop and dead android screen, I can't get my PC to recognize it for more than 5 seconds. Is there a step by step guide to what I need to do for a novice? Like step 1. "since your PC can't recognize the device in the first place this is where you start". Step 2, use "this program, then this, and this is why".

Can anyone out there help me get pointed in the right direction? I am tech savvy but the existing guides assume too much, have broken links, and don't say anything about what to do when you can't even get your device to be recognized.

Thanks

[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
I am pretty sure TWRP is the way to go but it isn't able to manipulate the Nabi, and I can't install drivers, etc or do anything else due to the constant reboot.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
So what version of software was the Nabi running? There are 3 different versions of TWRP depending on if you were on Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean, or Kitkat.

First of all to stop the bootloop can you get to the bootloader screen? Power up by holding the power and vol - (or maybe vol + I never pay that much attention). You should see a screen with little lines of text that say "fastboot protocol, recovery kernel, forced recovery, etc). If you can get there then we need to get TWRP on the device. You will need to have tablet plugged in to computer and select fastboot protocol. Now go to windows device manager and see if you see "android device" or only an unknown device. For unknown device you can try these drivers http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62826514&postcount=2639

See if this will detected the device once you have fastboot running and we can work from there. NablabGUI installer. http://nabtabhacks.com/nabilabgui2015/publish.htm

If the fastboot devices button give you a device number then you can try and install TWRP.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
I want to say it was running 4.1 or 4.2 but I'm not positive. Stupid me should have written it down. Is it possible to load any of the versions now that I have wiped it? I was able to go to the kernal mode using + and pwr, then from there I got the dead android screen. From there I did a - and + and got an option to side load recovery or boot to ADB I think it was. So since I can at least get there, is there anything I can do? Other than that, TWRP won't recognize it and says no drivers are loaded. I'm assuming because I can't get the Nabi to stay stable long enough to actually load anything on to it? The device recognizes for a few seconds then disappears.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
At the screen where you selected "kernel mode", select "fastboot protocol" instead. With the tablet plugged in go to your computer and open "device manager". Look for the device. You will need to have drivers loader for fastboot before you can do anything. Once you get the drivers loaded you will need to get TWRP on device. Lets just get fastboot working first.

This is something I am working on too that might be helpful

http://xdaforums.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119/post63390550
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Ok, I tried fastboot, but it doesn't really do anything. Once I go into fastboot, I have more options. Bootloader, continue, reboot bootloader, reboot, and power off. None of the options allows the Nabi to show up as a device in device manager. Everything just takes me to the dead android unfortunately.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
So I guess my next question would be, how do I get drivers loaded for a device that can't show up?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Have you installed these drivers yet? Nabilab driver for 32 or 64 windows? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62826514&postcount=2639

The part you did where it just had bootloader, continue, etc is the correct screen you want to be in. Install the drivers and then go back to the fast boot protocol again.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Geeze, my bad! Sorry about that. I must have not seen that part. Ok, with the fastboot menu sitting there and the 64 bit drivers installed, I am able to see "android device" in the device manager, and it shows up as a fastboot device in NabiLab GUI and Tools. Now I'm excited! Whats next?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
If you are in NabiLab2015. Go in to the Nabi2 screen. There should be an option to select which version you are using(ICS, JB, KK, etc) You can cycle though install the 3 different TWRP's until you find the one that boots. Normally it needs to be in Android or TWRP not in the fastboot bootloader but I think it will still install.

If not you can go back to main screen open a command window and type.

fastboot flash recovery 2/new/recvoery/recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery 2/JB/recovery/recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery 2/ICS/recovery/recovery.img

Each line you type is a separate attempt, meaning you will have to get back to the fastboot screen each time.

Or if you are feeling frisky it should have an option to return to stock. You will lose your data doing it that way, there might be another way where you can save it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
It recognizes the Nabi in the device manager, and when I click Fastboot - bootloader - Devices on the Tools section of NabiLab2015, but when I go under NV7A Disney/Nick (which I think this one is) or NV7A - US, it won't show the device under either Nabi Product Tab. Also, from the command prompt for all 3 commands, I get "C:\Users\aaronf\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\R81BWYH1.9HO\2X87EK1X.KEM\nabi..tion_0000000000000000_0001.0000_ecfca16b310dc7a8>fastboot flash recovery 2/ICS/recovery/recovery.img

error: cannot load '2/ICS/recovery/recovery.img'"

Not sure what to do next. I feel we are really close though, but the program still can't truly "see" my device I don't think.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Oh. I'm an idiot. I was doing this from memory. I swapped it around should be

Fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\ICS\recovery.img

Change the other 2 accordingly
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
No problem at all. Ok, that seemed to have done something. I put in the exact one you just changed above, and I rebooted normally, now I have a TWRP screen on the Nabi display. Now, what instructions do I need to follow? Do I still use NabiLab2015, if so the Disney/Nick or NV7A - US? Both now say "TWRP +mount:mounting /system on ext4 failed: no such file or directory.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Also, here is this if it helps. This now shows up under ADB - Android/TWRP - devices:

List of devices attached

NABI INFORMATION

[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Good. Progress.

Let's try the other TWRP's. The /system not mounted sounds like a wrong TWRP version.

In TWRP go to the reboot tab, and select reboot bootloader.

In NabiLab command prompt try

fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\JB\recovery.img

EDIT: Also let me know, do you want to try and save your data or just start fresh with latest Nabi software.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Ugh, it seems the only one that will do anything is the first one: Fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\ICS\recovery.img. That one at least gave me something under devices. The other two android versions JB and KK didn't show up as a device at all. Also, when trying to open the NabiGUI program now, it crashes out. So maybe its the program causing the issue of not seeing the other two versions of Android? I dunno. Also, a fresh start with the latest Nabi software would be just fine. This whole thing started out with me wanting to utilize expandable SD card storage for apps so if that can actually be done, awesome! But bottom line, if this thing just works again I am cool with that too.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
If the program is crashing open windows task manager and see if any ads.exe are running or try rebooting the computer.

So let's get back to what worked. Use the same commands as you did to get it working the first time.

In TWRP on tablet. Try going to wipe tab and do a factory reset. Just to see if it will wipe the system.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Ok, I tried the Fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\ICS\recovery.img command again, it worked, then I went into the TWRP on the tablet, did a complete wipe, and now it is stuck on the Nabi logo screen. About all I can do to it now is reboot it into fastboot and nothing else.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
-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 3.0.13 ROM and bootloader.

- Download 3013 stock ROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djOFQ1a0cwQjVEV2M/view?usp=sharing

- 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 3013stock.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 3.0.13 ROM.

- Download the KK3013bootloader zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djcnVTYjI0dTJSQjA/view?usp=sharing.

- 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 KK3013bootloader.zip you downloaded and install it.

- Reboot
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
What happens if it won't let me create the backup folder? It errors out and says it can't create one.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Jelly bean seems to be the only version of TWRP that shows any partitions for backing up to even show up. So I would imagine at least that version is what I need narrowed down? Problem is, it won't backup the boot partition without erroring out.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Sorry to keep posting but I tried it again, and while it said "failed to mount SD card", it seems to have created a TWRP folder this time on my SD card. I dunno if this is incomplete, or if I should just ignore the error and follow your other steps, but I'm going to give that a try. I hope that error doesn't screw the whole process up. Let me know if you have any additional imput on this error situation. Thanks.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
You can't mess it up worse then it already is. Haha.

This

Had me wondering how you were using the ICS TWRP and it was seemingly working. Should be using the JB TWRP (Where is says Android 4.1.2).

As long as you see the TWRP/BACKSUPS/xxxx on your card it should work. What is the card filesystem? Is it formatted NTFS or FAT32? exfat would give that error.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Lol, good point. The filesystem is FAT32 so that shouldn't have been an issue. Still, it appears to have backed up correctly, It saw the TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxx, and I was able to load everything so far. Currently it is sitting on "Initializing nabi Software" I hope this is a good sign! I still want to figure out how to put apps on an SD card but I seriously don't want to break it again.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
YES! It appears to have worked. Is it possible to get it to be able to recognize the SD card for extra storage now at this point or am I seriously pushing my luck? You've already helped me a ton, and I appreciate it BIG time!
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
So glad to hear. With those files on your SD card you can restore whenever you want now, so go ahead and try to get the extra storage.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Do you have an idiot proof guide to do it? This is what got me in trouble the first time, lol. I think I need Lollipop to do this? Anything else I should know about? And if possible if your time allows, can you help me do this? Probably asking a lot but I figured I'd ask since I really don't know what it would take to get this Nabi to be able to do that.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
I don't, I've never had the space issues, but I helped some people with the concepts.

Really there are 2 ways.

1. Editing the ramdisk in the boot.img pointing everything to external SD

2. Using symlink tricks put some internal on external

I think this is the proper way to go and is the boot.img method http://xdaforums.com/nabi-2/help/qa-nabilab-root-play-recovery-t2962216#post59374336

The end of this thread is has the symlink method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1976770&page=9

Finally there is this huge thread. There are some guys on there that use external storage. No one ever seems around but you can ask and see if someone answers.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Wow, and here I thought that it was going to be as simple as rooting it so I could install the latest version of Lollipop since the brand new Nabi's run that and can utilize the SD card storage right out of the box. Boy was I on the wrong track, haha. Well, I suppose I'll give it a try since I can now restore from my other SD card I used to get back to normal.

Will updating using the on board updater crash my OS again? I'm not entirely positive this was the version I was running before on the Nabi but it appears that the JB is the only one that I could get to work, so I dunno. I'm an IT guy, but not a developer or a programmer, lol.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
No lollipop for Nabi2 yet(or maybe ever).

I don't think you will even show updates, you should be on KitKat latest version, so no it wasn't the version you were using.

You can't really go wrong right now, as long as you have your magic SD card you have a get out of jail free card. Just go back in to TWRP and restore.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Ahh, ok. I assumed since you can kind of do whatever with Root privileges, I assumed that you could "lollipop" any android device by flashing it. I guess the hardware just can't handle it? I guess I heard somewhere that the newest ones ran Lollipop but I'm guilty of jumping into this half-cocked and half-informed, haha. Anyway, thanks a ton again for your help! And yep, since I have my magic SD card, I might as well tinker away with it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Higher-Primate:
Hi, I hope you are still alerted to this thread when an update is made. I am getting this error when trying to connect to the PlayStore. "Couldn't sign in. can't establish reliable connection to the server" This is after fixing everything else prior but google play still doesn't work. Can you help with this?

Not bad, does it actually integrate any mail/calendar/contacts with existing accounts? All i can see is to sync contacts. Nice to see a webmail client which actually supports pushmail though.

Everything seems very web dependent - hate to think if you have an expensive gprs contract.

One major drawback is that its not very touchsreen friendly - places to touch at the bottom border are pants.

Even with touchflo, it doesn't support vertical scrolling with your thumb, and you can only swipe one icon at a time in the carousel :(

Best integrated suite thus far I'd say though, I'd definitely use it if it sync'ed my existing calendar from exchange, and was more touch friendly.

2. LINKS: I need links that provide jobs with employees that can cover the working permit and/or visa for me.

3. SKILLS: I am willing to work and learn, thus being very familiar around Linux, Windows, Adobe, administration, hardware, security and IT in general. If not that kind of job, I am willing to work on any other position that would allow me to progress further.
