Nabi 2 Keyboard problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I followed a utube instruction to route Nabi 2 however I ran into a problem with keyboard, the error message that came up is: "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped". I could not enter any text. At this point I was in child mode and could not get access to Mommy mode to allow me to change settings. I decided to do a factory reset thinking it would clear keyboard error...it didn't. When you do a factory reset it brings you to set-up screen that needs text entry which I cant do. I've been advised to return it to stock but when I try run the return to stock zip file (filed is called fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch) via SD card it comes up with this message:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure which technique you used to root. Did you also install the Google play store? If so, it sounds like you installed the wrong gapps.
I would boot to twrp and install the 1011 gapps.

Hi There,
Unfortunately I can only get to the Nabi Set-up screen. I can't get to the TWRP screen. I can't enable developers options (USB Debugging) as I cant get into the device (This I think is the biggest problem as I cant see the NABI through PDA net and can run any recovery apps from SD as developer option is not enabled). I seem to be stuck in a loop and not sure where to go from here!
Any help or thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn off the device. Power on the device by holding the power and volume up. At the option menu press volume down to get to recovery kernel and press volume up. This will get you to twrp.

Hi,
Thanks for that. I now have access to TWRP and though I would be OK. However when I try to install GAPPs or a Keyboard zip file it continuallys comes up with this error:
E: Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Any thoughts on this one? It seems to be related to SD card but I have tried a couple to no avail. Can the tablet reject SD cards?
THanks again for your help.

Hi There,
That seemed to work and I now have GAPPS installed and the keyboard working. Unfortunately the only problem remaining is that Wi-Fi is not working. It previously seen my Wi-Fi connection point and now it will not turn on i.e. I try to switch on Wi-Fi but it keeps going back to the Off position? Very strange. I'm on Android 4.0.4 and have tried the change in Mammy and Daddy mode! I appreciate your help with this and don't want to take up your time so I may post this issue under a new heading.
Thanks again for all your help and giving me the solution.

Hope you updated the tablet software to 1.9.37 before you did everything or you will be starting over from scratch
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app

When I first rooted mine, probably some time in late Feb the consensus seemed to be to install the latest OTA software upgrade before rooting in order to avoid WiFi problems. I did this and I have not had WiFi problems. Just recently there has been yet another software and interestingly the bullet point summary of what has changed claims fixes for WiFi issues.
To install the upgrade from the rooted state you need to:
* Use the TWRP recovery to restore the backup you took when rooting to return the main OS to stock.
* Use adb fastboot flash to restore the original recovery.
* Boot normally, connect to WiFi, parent mode, settings/about/update and download/install the update.
[The OTA update works by downloading a file which is then installed by the stock recovery in a reboot cycle.]
* Use adb fastboot flash to flash TWRP recovery.
* Use TWRP recovery to backup the latest stock, install root.zip and gapps.zip.
There is more than one version of TWRP and I found the older one worked for me and the newer one had touch screen problems but you may find otherwise. The various versions are discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501

I see you helped this other person and hope you can me too. I like they did, followed the youtube video on how to root and install google play. It worked great when I did this last year on my kids nabi. I tried to do it again this year with a friends and kinda fell into a hole. My keyboard stopped work as well. I went back and tried to fix it by putting the gapps 1011. Well I didnt delete the old one (didnt know how) and now I cant get into TWRP. I have tried getting the recovery kernal and now when I push vol + it starts to load then gives me the dead android guy. Any suggestions on how to fix this. I sure hope so. Thanks

Uncheck signature enforcement or whatever it's called in TWRP?

Rooted Nabi JR with wrong Root
I have been working on my step-sons nabi for a week now. I rooted three Tabeos fine but then i thought i could do the Nabi JR and it would go perfect...i was wrong. I accidently rooted it with the same package for the Tabeo and now when i boot it up the keyboard forces close and i cant do anything. I can not get to daddy mode, can not usb debug. there is no TPK or whatever installed to boot with. Im at a loss, all i can do is load from usb in the stock bootload menu but i cant seem to get it to work. I need help please...i voided the warranty and now he has no nabi! this is also the Nick JR version of the Nabi, i cant be sure what else is in it considering im stuck at the enter daddy password and no keyboad...

Which Nabi JR? There are 2 versions. 4GB with tegra 2, or 16GB with tegra 3. Makes a difference in how we can help you. Probably need to put TWRP on device and restore a stock ROM. Then use TWRP to root it.

are the ROMs out there? I didn't see anything on the wiki page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_Jr
I have to admit though, I don't follow the Jr very much, so for all I know the ROMs are all over the place.

how can i get twrp without entering debug mode..i cant even get into the nabi to get debug on...i can only access bootloader

I think the 16GB tegra 3 is posted. Maybe the TWRP thread? Can't remember. Mr. Karz usually helps people that need the Nabi JR 4GB tegra 2. I think I have both ROM's but they aren't my creation and I don't have the devices to test so I don't post them.

You would use fastboot to flash TWRP from the bootloader. That's why I asked which Nabi you have. 2 different TWRP versions, and the tegra3 version has a locked bootloader, so you have to wipe the device to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP.

break it down for me
can you break that down on how i do that. i deleted everything out of it its in stock but keyboard does not work to access anything, i know its still rooted but i dont know how to fix it.

What version of the Nabi software were you on? Was the tablet stock or had you rooted it, gapps, etc? Can you boot Android but just the keyboard doesn't work? Or are there more issues besides the keyboard. Are your just trying to fix the one problem or are you trying to wipe the device and start fresh?
Likely you will need to get TWRP on the tablet, or at least be able to boot to TWRP. Answer those questions and I can have a better idea of what we can do.

The Nabi wouldn't take the latest update and it was apparently rooted to gain access to the google play store. It now appears the OS and everything else has been erased. I told my wife I would take a look at it and I immediately regret that decision, this is beyond my scope.
The only thing i have been able to access is the android screen which gives me access to the sd card. My laptop does not recognize it. I found this thread after a lot of searching and reading, some of the nabi threads are insanely long, and when I googled 'signature verification failed' to see if I could find someone stuck at the same point I am,
"I've been advised to return it to stock but when I try run the return to stock zip file (filed is called fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch) via SD card it comes up with this message:

Everything I have tried to run from the sd has returned this message. There's no keyboard, there's only the android screen. Anything else I try to do just freezes it. I was hoping to get it back to stock and let it update itself. So I guess the first thing I need to do I figure out how to get twrp on it.

Back to stock, OTA update help

I rooted my Mytouch slide this afternoon and loaded another ROM which I decided I didn't like. So, I went back to stock, but its an earlier version than what I had before I rooted. There's are updates on this forum for the most recent OTA update. However, I get a signature error when I goto load it.
I boot into recovery by going holding Vol Down + power, the phone then reads the files on my SDCARD. After that, I go down and select "Recovery" and I goto the screen with the Red Triangle.
I then hit Vol up + Power and load the next screen, I select "Apply Update: update.zip" or whatever it says and I always get a signature error, I have tried the file form 3 different sources with the same result, surely someone has experienced this and can help me. Im using Simple Mobile so I dont think that I will get the OTA request so I need to find a way to get this OTA loaded unless there is a nandroid backup with these updates already in it.
Please help me, Ive read every possible thread on this site without any results.

Im running the stock Tmobile Rom version 1.18.531.1.
I want to update the phone to 1.35.531 and make the sure the radio is updated to 7.09.35.10. Both the newest versions of stock.
I have downloaded the ~25MB update from here but I get a signature error everytime I try and run the update. To run it, Im booting with Vol Down + Power, then to "Recovery" and when the screen comes up with the Red Triangle, (Vol Up + Power). Then I select "Update.zip" but it fails on the signature verification.
Thats exactly what Im doing, am I missing something?

[Q] Problem after the new update GN

Hi,
I searched the forum but I couldn't find a similar problem, so Please I need some help.
Last week I got the new update 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, so I went and installed it.
During installation when the device turned off and it was unpacking the update or even a little bit before that, I got a message which I really don't remember very much and didn't understand but i think it was from rom manager asking something maybe about flashing or something similar.
I remember as well, that it said that the action cannot be undone! and since I didn't understand very well what it was asking me, i chose something which seemed to me the safest at the time.
Which means, if it asked me to install something, I chose not to since it can't be undone.
I know I'm not giving as much information as i should but this is what happened.
After the installation was finished, I downloaded root checker to find if i had lost my root or not and it took awfully long time for the app to tell me that my device is rooted.
So, everything was okay and apps which needed root access were getting it from superuser app.
Today I decided to backup my rom so I opened rom manager premium and I was not able to backup the rom or even restart in recovery mode, so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I was getting always error that it was not granted superuser access.
So, i figured out that the problem is specifically with the rom manager because other app which needs root access were always getting it, so I went to titanium backup and rebooted through the app into recovery mode and it did but all i got is that black screen with the android icon in the middle having a red triangle on top. I had to take the battery off to restart the phone.
I tried again to reboot into recovery mode using the power and the volume button but I was unable to.
So, I'm asking whats the problem?
Am I still rooted? and how can i fix this problem?
I was thinking of using the nexus kit but I can't reboot in recovery mode at all so I guess it won't be much of a help.
I'm very sorry for the LONG question.
Thanks Guys

Unable to Access Device Storage

Hello Everybody,
I habe a really big Problem with my GNex.
Today I Copied some Files over to my PC. For this I used for the first time "USB Mass Storage". Because I haven't seen some Files wich i can see under my Phone.
It worked really good. I unplugged my phone and to my things. Some minutes later i Heared the "Pling" from superuser. Then my phone was really slowly and need a bunch of time only to open the Launcher. So i deactivated Superuser. Deinstalled USB Mass Storage and MyMobiler.
After this i rebooted my Phone 2 times and the lag on my screen was gone. But now i'm unable to Access the Device under Android booted as MTP.
Even after reinstalling USB Mass Storage i'm unable to Access the Device via MTP or Mass Storage. My Windows PC and Android don't says anything. My Device is only Loading.
So i Unlocked my Bootloader with "BootUnlocker" and updated my System with offical Google Update 4.2 "fastboot update image-yakju-jop40d.zip" .
But i cann't access my Device now. Only fastboot is working.
So i'm unable to backup all my data and do an Factory Reset.
Have anyone out there an Suggestion how i can fix this Problem.
My Device:
Galaxy Nexus
Stock: 4.2
BL: Unlocked
Root: No Root (But with BL unlocked should this be the smallest problem.
Best regards and Thanks
Chris
P.s Sorrry for the really bad English
P.s.s Fastboot is working ... so it don't seems like an HW error

I Don't think hat There is my Problem, because under Windows i can Not even See my device it is not even recognized.
I can test driver uninstalling but i can not see my device under the device manager
:/ it seems like my android is f****ed up because root is also not working :/
When you update to a stock image you over write your/system partition (which is where you enabled root access) - that is most likely how you lost root access.
Also, since you updated your device, it is possible that your PC no longer sees it as the same device, which is why I suggested removing and reinstalling the driver...

Don't think i want to shame you, i really thankfull for your help . Also it is the Best forum for Android Development and everything around it wo i have ever seen.
I was always on Stock. I updated the Offical 4.2 to 4.2 with an Stock image, it is now working again, i think the Update cleaned the Things up. Only Thing (shame me) i have forgotten to check after update is under-> settings -> storage -> Menu -> USB-Connection -> and check there "MTP".
So now my Device says connecting as "MTP" and my PC also recognize it again.
Before that my Device don't even say connecting as MTP.
I know that i will loose root when i update my Device -> but with my unlocked BL I just Booted to CWM and flashed Superuser.
Maybe (i hope) you are willing to help me again.
I am unable to update my SU binary and also i dont see a Message from Superuser, where i can allow Root access.
Even if i set under Settings -> Security -> Automated Answer -> "Allow"
I don't see the Message where i can say "allow" to Root access. I cannot even install SuperSU.
Have you any idea why it seems like i cannot access Root. For me it's seems like my app's don't recognize root.
When i Start SuperSu he says "Su-binary" must be updated" and next step is "Installation failed".
Have you any Idea where this came from?
But the good thing is at this point i'm abel again to access my Device via Explorer Thank you really really much for your Help You can't belive how glad i'm not to do a Factory reset and loose all my data.
Thank oyu for your great help

Sorry for the long delay.
I had no time to check this thread. And also my Email Notification hasen't worked.
So I hope you still look at this and can also suggest something.
I tried SuperSU but supersu says.
He need to install the Binaries.
After roundabout 15 seconds i get an Error message which says: "Installation failed".
My Super user tells me that the Binary is outdated.
And i get this Error Message in SuperSU even when i say "Answer every Permission Request with Allow".
I Even tried to remount the System as RW and the say update. But Both of them Seems to fail to install the Binary.
I flashed Superuser Through Temp Booted CWM.
Is their another Zip that i can try ?! or have i done something wrong while Flashing ?
Or can i theoretically flash SuperSU through CWM and then get Root Access?
Thank you for your help

Correct; you will be rooted again. Just boot a custom recovery and flash.

Could you please provide me a download link for a zip. Which is working under 4.2 ?
I have seen zip's around for Superuser but not for SuperSU.
An i only Mention that maybe Superuser have a Problem with 4.2 but i cannot Prove it.
Thanks again

Thank you for the Reply.
But how i have written 2 post ago. SuperSU also did not work.
He keeps saying "Installation Failed" thats why i asked for an Flashable Version which is working under 4.2.
I recently reverted back to stock 4.2.1 (just to try it)
My Win7 computer was unable to see my phone when connected in MTP mode. Nothing showed in the computer at all, However when I selected PTP I could acess the DCIM folder.
In the end I couldn't be F**Ked with it so I pushed a custom rom to data/media/ and every thing was normal again.
I spoke to a friend who had the same issue I had, and he just enabled debugging (which a custom rom has enabled by default) to solve the issue.

Full backup of one AFTV and restore on another
It's great to see that modstore was able to clone an AFTV.
I dont understand what modstore is saying here:
modstore said:
I'm not sure if anyone has tried backing up one Fire TV and restoring to another, but I just tried it, and all seems good.
Doing the restore though, changed the registered account to that of the backup. So I'm not sure if it would have been registered properly, probably not. But I changed it to the account I wanted it registered too, and all seems good now.

Changed what registered account? Does this mean that the new AFTV was setup to have the same amazon account as the backed up AFTV before the restore took place on the new AFTV?
I really want to be able to clone. It sounds like its possible, I just want to avoid the trial and error if possible. I'm sure others are interested in the procedure too.

Yes, from what he said that the registration info went over with the backup. If you want to clone machines, then this will work.
he didn't want to clone machines, so he had to put in the correct register info on the machine he put the backup on.

There might be a way to make it trigger the initial Registration page after doing a restore of a clone. I'll add it to my list and maybe come up with a special update.zip that will make it happen.
So if you have a FTV set up with xbmc etc you can make a direct copy of it into a stock FTV, thus cloning it as said above?
I've looked around and can't seem to find what to do. I've used adb before but have never ran into this issue yet seems so silly.
When I type "su" in adb shell i get this error "system/bin/sh: su: not found"
I've googled and all I can find is reinstalling the superuser on the phone... I'm trying to unlock the boot loader

You need root first. What fw are you on? If it's a rootable version, do that first and then follow the guides for updating here.
Yea figured it out. I'm on 1.3.0 this sucks. I'm trying to sell my amazon box to get a nexus player. Amazon has no idea how to run a home media center.
Thanks!

Guide from AFTVNEWS.
I got recovery to work everything was fine I could reboot from recovery back to recovery again (CWM) but after I did factory reset in CWM it gets stuck on amazon logo.
The reason I did factory reset was because of Error.7 in CWM I had that few times when flashing different roms on different phones/tablets
sometimes getting older cwm or simply factory reset would help.
So now it gets stuck on Amazon logo the keyboard trick to get back into CWM does not work anymore.
Anything else I can try before I call up amazon hoping they replace it ?
I can honestly say if you followed rbox's custom recovery install guide, used his recovery image, and made sure the md5 matched, you shouldn't have had any problems.
Out of curiosity, do you have an external hard drive plugged in?

Yea I did follow instructions correctly. And no I do not only had the usb keyboard plugged in so I could get into recovery.
Almost every device I rooted w/ custom recovery gave me Error 7 tablets phone etc.. I seem to have bad luck with that error lol.
Since I was on the very last step.. flashing rom -> getting error 7 grr

I think cwm still has some issues. It works fine for installing rbox's pre-rooted ROMs, but I can't backup my ftv. It always errors out.
Was this the first time you've gone through cwm install? Did you try installing one of his custom ROMs and then got that error? Did you verify that your recovery download went okay? Check the md5 against what's listed on the site.
I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm just trying to delve deeper to see what may have caused your error.
(I'm tech support, so I've always got more questions to ask )

Yes sir everything was checked few times. Bunch of times made sure even file size is correct etc...
I did install recovery however at first when I had wrong firmware I installed via ADB SHELL then I Downgraded to unlock bootloader after I downgraded I installed recovery via adbfire I think newest version .17 however it was still the newest firmware of recovery anyway.... and yepp it was stock pre-rooted latest firmware that ends with "0" that did not require the fire tv boot menu.. but now I am thinking if I had the boot menu I could have got into recovery! so AFTVNEWS mis-lead me on this part... the bootmenu would be great on all firmwares actually.

I'm not sure about adbfire anything. I do all mine through Linux/android terminal/windows command line. The boot menu works on firmware 51.1.4.0. When it's sitting at the logo, have you tried connecting via adb, just to see if it initialized enough to poke around? (not sure if it works that way with ftv, but I'd try, regardless)

As far as I saw I could only connect via adb at least when in recovery mode.. otherwise it was a no go... anyways thanks for helping me out. I think there is no rescue in this situation by somehow fixing it. I mean just wanted to have few features like swap storage with a flash drive and have newest FW. But that's ok.
Thanks for your time!

Sorry I couldn't be of more help :/ the issue you'll probably see is that unlocking the bootloader voids any warranty with amazon.. So I'm not sure what amazon may or may not do for you.

About the possible Lollipop ROM for FireTV,is there a way to get the latest qualcomm Adreno 320 drivers like [email protected] from another device for flashing in proper FTV directories since it is meant for Lollipop?
I am hoping for the fix for Dolphin to be runnable and Reicast to no longer cause reboots,as well as better performance for things like Mupen64Plus AE.

Help --Htc Desire 530 --Deleted OS while in TWRP Recovery

Device:
Htc Desire 530
Marshmallow 6.01
T-Mobile/MetroPCS
Ok long story short I rooted my device correctly and then while in TWRP browsing I deleted my OS....
Now the phone is still rooted, and I can flash/un-flash TWRP, but it has major issues connecting with adb and sometimes fastboot as well. I guess basically what I'm asking is for help to get any compatible OS installed.
Thanks in advance
Good day Owl,
Please refer to my Stock Images thread and flash the stock (.img) file for the T-Mobile variant. If you have any issues with this process just shoot me a PM and we can figure out what else to do.

Right so that's the problem I'm having for instance when i go to simply just drag and drop the stock images to my phone i get a corrupted error. Now if i go to fastboot the stock images it gives me a 35 RU_NOT_SUPPORT error. adb just wont connect. i think im done for.
Have you tried reformatting the "internal SD" partition before attempting to "Enable MTP" from the mount menu?
Also, do you happen to have access to a Micro-SD?

Don't doubt yourself Grasshoppa... Wax On, Wax Off.
Ok, so if I'm getting this right you've already grabbed the "Stock Image" and un-compressed it.
Bc this image is so large and you've already been having corruption issues I'd say your best bet would be moving it to the root of an SD-Card.
So i have now sort-of fixed the adb connection issue and sideloaded the twrp recovery, sunshine apk, and supersu files from your page. where im getting hung up i when i go to flash the roms you have on your "stock" post im getting denied flashing the boot image and system image with the error message: 35 RUU NOT_SUPPORT blah blah haaaaaalp, btw my S is still on and i flashed all three of your files sir haaalp

Hey man, you were helping me yesterday so I figured you could point me in the right direction. I have TWRP installed running well. But I can't seem to install a custom Tom to get root status for some reason... the system keeps denying the request even though I have the boot loader unlocked, Supersu is also installed
Have you tried or attempted to flash an Official RUU yet? Sorry for the delay, I work from 6AM-7PM..
