I presume you happen to have an American Girl tablet as well, right? Just let me know if you run into anything and make sure you made a backup of your tablet's firmware first, OK?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] cjlopez213:
Yeah I got a Barbie for my youngest and an American Girl for my older daughter. I think the Barbie tablet is fine without root. I'll be sure to keep you posted in case I get some errors.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Cool! I've actually been looking for someone who owns a Barbie and Hot Wheels edition for quite some time lol. Needed the firmware from those for my collection, and of course for the greater good, if you know what I mean. :)
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Anyone up to coaxing Nabi into spilling at least some kernel sources for the SE? The GPL sources page has sources for the MT8127 variant of the Junior, but the one for the SE is MIA for whatever reason. A friend of mine has tried contacting their Twitter to no avail. :/
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Excuse the double-post, but for the sake of science I decided to tear down one of my SEs to see what's inside besides that FCC approval listing. By the looks of it, the SE uses a subframe presumably for a bit more rigidity. The way the SE is constructed is a bit of a double-edged sword, i.e. you can make it less susceptible to kids screwing the lid off, but servicing or replacing the battery can be quite a chore to pull off. At least the logic board has some test points labeled :P

Nabi Elev-8

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has been able to root the Nabi Elev-8? If anyone could point me in the direction to try to root this, I would very much appreciate it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Not sure about that tbh as I don't have an Elev-8 with me.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DaddyShortLeggs:
Well I downloaded King root and tried to root it twice and it didn't work. I woke this morning and tried it again but this time it successfully rooted. Does anyone know if I can install twrp and any roms out there for it?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Not from what I can tell. All I know is only the original Nabi, the Nabi 2, the DreamTab and the SE have support but not the Elev-8.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DaddyShortLeggs:
Damn that sucks. Well I at least got it working better than what it has been before I rooted it. Now I just have to figure out how to use SuperSU-Me Pro to get rid of King root and purify.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DaddyShortLeggs:
I have a question but let me say that I uninstalled kingroot and purify and I successfully unlocked my bootloader. Is there a way that I could get twrp for my Nabi Elev-8?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Not from what I can tell. I don't own an Elev-8 atm so I am unable to do a port of it for your device.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DaddyShortLeggs:
I understand. Thank you.

We have 2 Fisher Price edition Nabi SE tablets. Any plans on supporting? I can get you whatever supporting files you need, if you tell me how
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
That one runs on a different SOC and idk if MTK Droid Tools would be able to read from it. Not sure if anyone is willing to donate one of them Fisher-Price tabs to experiment with.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] ed tinker:
can i use on an old tablet

i have an old tablet that i want to use as a leapfrog is it possible? it is a older toshiba thrive i think.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Which Android version is it running on?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
I almost forgot...

Seems like the later retail Nabi SE units has fastboot mode disabled presumably due to parent complaints about their children accidentally soft-bricking their tablets in fastboot mode. If you don't see an option to boot to fastboot mode try flashing the attached file using SP Flash Tool and a scatter file for your respective variant.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Oh and I ended up with the touch panel on one of my Nabi SE development units give up the ghost. If any one of you lads is more than willing to donate, please please please let me know so I could continue on doing mods for this thing.

Nabi Elev-8 EOS

I just got off the phone with Nabi support and the guy said the company had been bought out. Said that Nabi was discontinued and, as a result, pushed an update on March 5th that erased several apps (Wings Learning, App Zone, some drawing apps...). He mentioned resetting the tablet and turning off the updates. He's was kinda quick and vague about it. I'm sure he's not supposed to tell me how to get around their update.

What I can't figure out is why did they delete the good apps? Legalities?

Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction as to how to pull a stock image to flash later if stuff goes awry. Also, is there a way to pull individual apks?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
They discontinued online support for them perhaps due to Mattel finding it hard to support the company as practically no one cared about it. Though the content themselves is still available on their Amazon AWS servers for the time being.

You could do a factory reset but I'm not honestly sure as to how to disable the mandatory updates, though exporting APKs is easy as pie with APK Exporter on Google Play.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
Thank you good sir! That APK Exporter is a neat trick. I was hoping to factory reset and grab APKs before they disappear. Maybe unplug my WiFi until it's done, then load them after their update shenanigans.

I searched for Amazon AWS and found their marketplace. You may need to help me out with that one. I'm not sure what content you mean, apps or ROM. Speaking of which is like to make a backup of. There is no TWRP for Elev-8, just SE.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
I was referring to where their apps are stashed, e.g. this:

https://ddmlujfqc2uqz.cloudfront.net/Page6_Style/Double_Decker_Ponytail__Doll_Hair_How-To__American_Girl.mp4?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ623MDBNLW6L6R7A&Expires=1550366445&Signature=HYGg5SQfjH7oVEv6WLKSzKcBdmY%3D
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
Well I tried. Made an account and everything. I follow the link and I get "Access Denied" and some other stuff. This wouldn't be a problem if I still had my sonic screwdriver.

I hate giving up, I hate losing, and I hate asking for assistance... but how in the world do I explore that link?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
OK, here's what you can do: Download "Activity Launcher" off Google Play, fire it up, tap Recent Activities, then Activities, and once the list is populated look for NabiTTD. There should be a hundred or so activities where you can download bundled apps off Nabi's servers.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
Another brick wall. It seems Mattel or Fuhu have really shut it down. I see all the activities listed and tried about 20. All I get is "Sorry for the inconvenience! *app name* has been discontinued.

Thanks for the help though.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Strange, it still works on my end.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
I wonder what's different. Could it be that we have two different models? Shouldn't matter.

Just to reiterate, I have the Elev-8 which there is no TWRP for, runs on Android 5.1, and has no option in developer mode to allow bootloader unlocking. In the nabittd section, everything is prefixed with 'dreamtabus'.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
The dreamtabus name is a placeholder of some sort. Even on my American Girl SE there's still references to that.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Mattel finally killed off the Nabi line, so updates and bundled stuff for all models will no longer work. Though I was able to back up most if not all bundled content for the SE and other related variants; I am yet to upload them as I have a rather lousy internet connection at home though.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
Maybe that's why I couldn't get anything to work with mine back in March; they had already killed off access for the elev-8. I'd wish they'd at least develop the software that we could put on regular tablets. I'd love to try to use some of the apps you have when you get a chance to upload.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Or a port of CyanogenMod for the elev-8 if I have the time and resources, or if someone is up to the task. Problem is that Nabi once again went bonkers with providing the kernel sources as they also appear incomplete judging from the ridiculously small tarball, but given how a lot of people here know how to mess around with Qualcomm devices... :P
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
Nabi is dead dead with a side of dead

The ol' Elev-8 got real slow trying to do anything. In fact, it really just froze up. I thought I'd do a factory reset and now all it will say is that it is unable to get a response from the server. It will go no farther. Is there any hope for it, or should I just list it on ebay as a lost cause?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Do you have a picture of what happened?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
The "Not now" button wasn't available to click on. My Wi-Fi connection is valid. I know the server is no longer there, but it seems they would at least point it to something instead of potentially bricking these things. I tried to find a TWRP, found one for the SE, flashed to recovery, it said ok, reboot to recovery, "recovery not found"... wtf? I just rebooted thinking I could sneak my way into settings through Wi-Fi settings... no go. Then I kept hitting "Retry" on the server missing screen; maybe 30 times later of rage induced tapping, Not now popped up. I hit that and it works now. I'm afraid to link a google account because that's what killed it last time. It downloaded every friggin app Google has. I thought I'd transfer APKs over to it, but it doesn't have a file explorer to find and open them. It does work now, but without the ability to disable gapps, I can't really do much.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
I haven't had any trouble linking it to Google tbh. As for sideloading APKs, you could try enabling ADB through developer options then sideload them APKs from there, including a suitable file manager.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
[MENTION=4092918]blakegriplingph[/MENTION] Thanks, I'll have to try that. I'll probably try google again, too. It was downloading everything, and all that creates background processes. Maybe I did something wrong. Anyway, thanks again for the tip.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] hmjbarbosa:
I've unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp (https://twrp.me/mattel/nabiSE.html). However, when I try to reboot the device it fails:

C:\platform-tools>fastboot.exe oem unlock

Now I'm stuck at the boot loader prompt, and the tablet (a nabi SE) doesn't respond to the volume keys or the power button. I can still send commands by fastboot, but it will not boot again.

I already tried to lock the bootloader, but the reboot error persists.

Any ideas?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Do you have a ROM_0 backup of the device? Either way, try flashing this:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603905325

...or this vanilla Nabi SE ROM:

https://www.4shared.com/s/fUzxacJrUfi

Also, you may have a later revision tablet with Fastboot nerfed so you might want to try this first before flashing the above mentioned ROMs:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78901374&postcount=27

EDIT: NVM, try fastboot boot twrp.img so it would reboot straight to TWRP and be able to get out of that mode.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Can you install android 8 on a rooted nabi se?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
No, there's no custom ROM for the SE as of yet.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
The same thing happened to me too, I just kept clicking the Try Again button, and the Not Now button was clickable. I'm not sure if this will work on other devices though.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Can anyone help me?

My Nabi SE doesn't boot to recovery, TWRP doesn't work properly, I can't enter fastboot or unlock the bootloader,(It says access denied) and it's in a bootloop. If anyone can help me, please reply.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Did you make a firmware backup first?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
No, I didn't.

Is it ok if I didn't?:(

I was running a hotwheels rom on an orginal se.

Well I did, but I backed it up to an sd card which got corrupted later.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
You'd be having a hard time recovering it then.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Is there any way to get out of the bootloop?

Whenever you connect it to a computer, the bootloop starts.

And I don't think there's a recovery...
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Only other way to fix it is to try and re-flash the stock ROM file.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Don't you need a recovery for that?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
@blakegriplingph Ok, guy... I'm tired of this thing! I tried to sell it on ebay, but it got returned because they couldn't get it to connect so it must be defective. I plainly told them that there is nothing for it to connect to, but still I'm the idiot.

I think it would be cool to pull the UI from the Elev-8 and fashion it to work on other popular tablets. Maybe redirect the location it looks to for a server. Make it an app to download. There's money to be made here. Fuhu and Mattel missed out.

Anywho, you want this thing? (please take it)
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
No, just the SP Flash Tool package and version 5.1532 of SP Flash.

If you're referring to the OTA one, spam the try again button until you get to skip the update prompt. I wish I could cobble up a debloated ROM for this but real life gets in the way.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Cookster128:
I can get past the update things and use it. It's just hard to sell when everything it looks for has been trashed and people don't understand that. I'll list it on eBay again as hot garbage! Hehe, thanks for all your previous help on it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Technophobes are a hard species to deal with that's for sure.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Could I get a firmware backup from anyone?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Suppose I got a firmware backup, then what do I do?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:

[Fuhu Nabi 2] Infam0usGeoff:
Do u still have a nabi Elev 8 recovery.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Infam0usGeoff:
Does anyone have an nabi Elev 8 stock image. I'm stuck in boot was going to try to sideload an image.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] FlyingDumpster68:
My friend gave me a dusty old nabi, to fix. It isn't booting into recovery, android, fastboot, nothing. It just shows th nabi logo and that's it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
By edition if you mean stock ROM, I was using the hot wheels one.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Why would you want to boot to fastboot?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Well there may be some partitions that are specific to your particular tablet, hence why I highly advise that you have a full ROM_0 image of your device.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] chickencatapult77:
Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town.

I don't think I can make an image anymore...
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Damn, sorry about that.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Updated the download link for the regular SE as 4Shared somehow wiped my account.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Poohen Corey:
I found a TWRP backup on my PC, but it's not a firmware backup. So that means I need to boot into TWRP or fastboot. The problem is, it's bootlooping...

I can't remember the email I used to setup my old account, and after trying to reset the password, I got a "404 site not available" message, so here I am with a new account.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Poohen Corey:
Update: It's worse than I thought...

It's bootlooping, and I can't get to fastboot

I can get to the boot mode menu, but both options, recovery and normal mode take back to the bootloop.

What do I do?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Breadsticks00086:

APKs for bundled apps which came as optional downloads for the Nabi SE children's tablet.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Yes this should work.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] janesandhanescha:
Just got home and flashed successfully, but all I get is a black screen. My laptop still detects it, and the red LED light (battery light) shows.

There were two scatter files so I used one of them. (not the demo2retail)

Did I miss a step or something?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Did you perform a ROM_0 backup first? And what version of SP Flash Tool did you use?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] janesandhanescha:
Yes in cases like these. I used v5.1532
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Can you do a Write Memory of the ROM_0 backup you made? Starting address is 0x0 of course.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Also, which specific scatter file did you use?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] janesandhanescha:
"MT8127_Android_scatter" where it showed 12 things (preloader, mbr, ebr1, etc.)
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
What flash mode did you use when flashing it?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] janesandhanescha:
Format all + Download

This option was the only one that worked since the other options left me to a 2004 error.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] janesandhanescha:
How do you access that menu? I can’t seem to find it.

My friend helped me with the backup, so I’m kinda lost on this :/
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
Press CTRL+ALT+V while in the Flash Tool. You should see some new options show up. Click Window > Write Memory, then click on the Write Memory tab to bring up the tool.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
You're NOT supposed to do that. Only flash BOOT, RECOVERY and ANDROID.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Poohen Corey:
It's me again, and I think I'd like to have a another go at unbricking my device. It is bootlooping, and selecting fastboot or recovery just brings me back to the bootloop. However, it is recognized by my PC, but it keeps connecting and reconnecting...

Have you tried flashing the stock ROM?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Pixelzated:
So... I have 2 nabi Elev-8 tablets, one has a messed up screen, and the other is bootlooping with the nabi logo from trying to root it. Is there a way I can flash the image from the broken screen one to the other? Otherwise I am going to try and transfer the screen over using a youtube tutorial. I already tried looking for a boot image and tried factory resetting it but I don't want to mess up the working one. I am using scrcpy to control the one with the broken screen as I was able to just barely enable ADB. Any ideas?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Poohen Corey:
I think this is the wrong forum
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Pixelzated:
This is the only one I found with any info on the elev-8 as other people replied about it
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Poohen Corey:
Yes I have, but my Nabi is in a bootloop, so my PC recognizes it for a second, but then the tablet shuts down and the bootloop continues.

The bootloop started when I flashed the stock ROM, and- I don't remember how- the tablet rebooted midway flashing, into fastboot. From fastboot, I thought, "okay I can flash the ROM from here," but the bootloader was locked, and I couldn't unlock it. Then I let the battery die (to get out of fastboot) and haven't been able to boot into neither the system nor fastboot ever since... :(

I wanted to flash a rom on an s4 mini but of course I had to get a custom recovery first. Came to the conclusion you had to use a program called 'Odin'. I installed Odin and followed the steps of a youtuber but when I selectee the file i was supposed to click on 'start' and when I did nothing happened. Also the Youtuber was using a tar.md5 file and I had a .tar. He included some links but those links didnt have the actual download for the files he used. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong or does someome have a suggestion? Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Kheppy:
Hi, I have cpMiui, and since I want Google Cam I've installed from Magisk "Pixel2Experience" containing camera2api. Everything works but front camera is inverted. How can I fix it?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Kheppy:
Solved

Found a fix for the front camera being flipped: You need to edit "/system/etc/camera/msm8996_camera.xml".

There are 4 entries: 2 for the back camera (CameraId 0) and 2 for the front camera (CameraId 2).

We'll edit only the 2 for the front camera: We'll change the "MountAngle" from 360 (which means "Defined by kernel") to 270.

If you have them in your outlook on vista side, you can establish a sync connection between vista and snapvue side and then synchronize them. The easiets current way is with usb.exe, see this thread:

And if you start, you can't have the usbtool on your wm side.

Then you can start with Windows Live and then mail it to your live account.

After you did that you can setup an activesync account and delete the Windows Live account :)
