Hi,
I have a UK Nabi2 which I used Nabilab2 to install TWRP+root+google apps a while back. I needed to do the new two part OTA update, for warranty reasons, so went to install my original backup, but could not find it. I used Nabilab2full and did the stock install, which removed root and returned the device back to stock. (This also changed my nabi to a US version with no serial, FW 2.1.29. which I later found out). & at that point I still had TWRP.
I did the first two of three OTA updates (which worked), the third update crashed during install. I retried the OTA twice more but each time it crashed. The device lost TWRP after this.
Upon entering recovery with ON/Vol+ I now get <3e> recovery. Running the root.zip file from sd card fails (I assume as I am not in the correct mode or have a bad file?). The OTA updates I grabbed from the nabi wiki page (and the thread, see below) also fail.
My device does not show in fastboot. Adb sees it but when using the command, C:\adb reboot recovery, the Nabi reboots and goes to the dead android (pushing -/+ to get into) <3e> recovery, and adb at that point no longer sees the device. The nabi also disconnects once adb shell is executed. I can intsall .apk files via adb command but I still need root access to run TWRP backup manager. I can run the root.zip file via an apk installer, but when running SU it gives a message 'There is no superuser binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!' ...Is there another way can I install root and/or the recovery.img to the Nabi2?
(I have been following the thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041224&page=10, as well as several hours worth of reading various adb, <3e> recovery, lost root etc q&a's in other places but cannot find an answer, or it's assumed that the adb reboot recovery command is working, which mine appears not to be).
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very appreciated.
Regards,
Smirnofred
Hi,
I have quite a similar issue with this. I flashed custom recovery and forced gapps, but now cannot flash original recovery to perform OTA update. Cannot boot into custom recovery at all.
Done a system restore so now i have lost the gapps that were pushed and cant get into recovery to flash them again :crying:
Thank you for the reply mate, sorry to hear you are in the same situation more or less.
Further reading over at Stack overflow help forums seems to lead me to believe the tablet is bricked. Loss of su/root privileges means no r/w access via adb to put the required files where they need to be, or install or TRWP.
I'm not giving up on this... well not yet. I have a ton of other work related things going on right now that I need to clear down so I can look into this a bit more seriously. I'm away till the 17th April but will check in here when I can. And, if I find a solution I will post it here.

You need to select fastboot protocol in the menu after booting with pwr/vol buttons. Then install fastboot driver, then install TWRP. From that point the thread you linked will work.

Doesn't matter if you flash the original recovery, you need to flash the original system. TWRP can do the OTA but it will fail because there are a couple of system files that were changed that fail SHA-1 checks. Don't know what version you are on or if it's a UK or US or Disney/Nick version.
aicjofs,
Thanks for the pointers! ...its most appreciated.
After checking, I do see the nabi in device manager when its in fastboot mode, but its not installed properly (it says 'Android device' but has a 'fastboot' icon with an exclamation mark under it) which would be the root of my issue I would have thought. I was certain the fastboot drivers were installed too, obviously I was wrong.
*EDIT*
Success!
I had java disabled. I also had issues with device manager switching from 'Android device' to 'Unknown device' intermittently.
I started fresh by uninstalling everything nabi/sdk/adb related. Re-installed java, sdk and adb drivers, in that order, which resulted in no conflicts or driver issues! Then when I put the nabi into 'fastboot protocol' the second menu then appeared (which it was not doing previously). I flashed the 2.3.3.0 TWRP recovery image.
Now I have some more reading to do about what image I need to put back onto the nabi.
Thank you.
*EDIT*
Thanks again.

Somewhere in that post you linked I put a pretty good procedure for getting a UK Nabi to the latest OS, hopefully you will be up and running in no time.
I'm there, finally. Using the link to the three part install you posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041224&page=10 post #98
I'm now @ 2.2.2 (I think), 4.1jb, with 2.6.3.0 twrp recovery. First thing I did was make a full backup (once it was all working 100%).
I had a minor issue with SU trying to install repeatedly once I put the 2.2+ stock image (+modded ota), which sent the nabi back to <3e> recovery. But I just flashed it back to 2.6.3.0 with fastboot.
Many thanks ;0)

Hi Smirnofred, I have similiar issues to you, and i'm wondering of you can help. The 2.2 file from dropbox is no longer available, have you still got it? and would you kindly upload it somewhere for me if you have time. It would be much appreciated. :good:

You want to update your device, you have the OTA zipfile, but you don't know how to use it, you don't want to bricked your device!
That's why I've wrote this guide. I'm not the writer, just an adaptor for xda member
By downloading, flashing these files and use this guide you agree to the following:
Your warranty is now void.
We are NOT responsible for bricked devices, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this guide before use it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at us for messing up your device, I will laugh at you with all of my teeth.
Support is limited. I do this as a hobby in our free time. I'll do my best to help you if you state your problem in clear English, with as much information as you can (what mods you selected, have you wiped, when exactly does the error occur, what type of phone you have, what carrier, logcat and so on. The more information you offer, easier for me to help you. If you do not ask for support in clear English and with no information what-so-ever we will ignore your issue

Before to flash or use fastboot lines command, you need to read quietly this guide. Download all files in one folder (it's easier to find all files in the same folder).
Prerequisite: Your Nexus 7 LTE should be running Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) or (KVT49L -for Verizon). You will not lose your data using this method
Step 1.
Download the update zip
=> Download link for almost of users => cac1a204d3770a20fdce28f6ed3418fdd36abd5d.signed-razorg-KTU84L-from-KOT49H.cac1a204.zip - md5: 34adc31c6647de18547c405133072381
=> Download link for Verizon users => f0c2187ff1dba772cff3fa7f99f0e6bd38ecb62b.signed-razorg-KTU84L-from-KVT49L.f0c2187f.zip - md5: 663b29478d60babb2f0cbb6fc506f111
Charge your Nexus 7 to at least 60% battery level
Don't forget to enable USB debugging
Don't forget - Backup your tab’s storage,
you can choose to change the file’s name to ‘update.zip’. take care
Be sure to read the instructions and carry on...
Step 2.
Reboot your Nexus 7 LTE and hold the Vol+Down button while it's booting up.
Once you see the fastboot menu and the word Start, press Vol+Up a few times until you see Recovery and then press the Power button to enter recovery
You will see an Android with a red exclamation point.if you have stock recovery
Now press Vol+Up+Power together, and you should see the menu below:
Select the 2nd option called apply update from adb.
Step 3.
Connect your Nexus 7 LTE to your computer with your USB cable.
Make sure you have a recent version of adb that supports the sideload command (if you don't, download the latest Android SDK to ensure your adb is up-to-date).
Place the update.zip package from Google in the Android SDK/platform-tools folder on your computer, but do not unzip it. And open up a command prompt
(cmd in Windows)
(regular shell in Linux and Mac) in the same directory as the zip file.
and type
Code:
adb sideload <the name of the zip file that you've done>.zip
if you have changed the name of the update file to ‘update.zip’, then enter: adb sideload update.zip
You should see the progress bar go up to 100%, like so:
sending: 'sideload' 100%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point, the device should have started installing the update 4.4.3 OTA :victory:
Step 4.
Reboot - you're done.
Enjoy Android 4.4.3 on your Nexus 7 LTE... we just need to waiting the next release for KK4.4.4
Just in case

Is this zip compatible with TWRP? I tried flashing the zip but it failed, and I did verify the md5 checksum was correct.

I've tried before to install my OTA update and the install is failed. I'm with TWRP also
That's why I'll edit my OP without this process. I have rename the zip file to update.zip
For info I have this result:
Code:
- verifying current system
"/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip
Error flashing sip '/sdcard/update.zip
Updating partition details
So if you haven't received the OTA update for 4.4.3, use the adb sideload process.
So I tired with the adb sideload process, and still get the same failure:
"/system/bin/app_process" has unexpected contents.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "/data/media" (looks like it cuts off at this point)
Since I have TWRP, I used adb sideload by going to Advanced ->Adb sodeload and then swiping to turn on adb sideload. My ADB version is 1.0.31, and the file did copy succesfully.
EDIT: Maybe this doesn't work for me because I'm stock rooted?

I haven't been able to get this to install either. Does root or custom recovery cause the installation to fail?

i am getting a status 7 error in /tmp/update.zip
help?
I don't know exactly what is the problem. I've used this process for updating my N7.
After the flash with adb sideload, I am back completely stock, unlocked, rooted but stock recovery, not twrp.
Sent from my N7 LTE from XDA Assist and use TapatalkPro
So I found out why I was getting my particular error and it was because I had Xposed framework installed. I uninstalled that and was able to flash the OTA. However, I lost root, but kept TWRP. So I flashed the updated SuperSU.zip (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358555830) and I had root back. Re-installed Xposed Framework and now everything is updated and working
So you got the update to flash in twrp?
I uninstalled xposed and it still doesn't work with stock recovery and kernel. Got too much setup to redo it all
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
worked for me.
What's going on I had my watch rooted tried, make it back to stock tried it, rooted it and once more tried it I get error 7 everytime
I'm using Ubuntu 14
I can't even sideload
Drivers are all working
But for some reason my Linux machine won't talk to my watch
Can someone help all I need is some codec
I'm sure this has been answered before (infact, I remember answering this exact question).. The stock recovery has ADB broken, so sideloading doesn't work, nor does ADB's shell. The reason you're getting error 7 is because you re-rooted, which changes app_process32, which the update is looking to patch and finds that it doesn't have what it expected there. That said, here's something you can do.
Follow the instructions found somewhere else on these to push the update to /cache/recovery with the watch rooted, I'm not sure if the stock recovery image has an apply /sdcard/update.zip option, but you may be able to get away with pushing the update there.
If you're using the /sdcard/update.zip option, make sure that the update is pushed. If your watch is rooted, you need to unroot it manually by using the image found in the Restore Tools image. (If you're on 5.1 I believe it's 49Ksystem.img but I can't remember.), you'll be doing fastboot flash system <system-image>, then reboot into recovery and hit the apply update.zip option. You're done.
If stock recovery does NOT have an apply update.zip option, you need to search on the G Watch forum here, there is a proceedure that involves pushing the ZIP to /cache/ and writing a recovery script into /cache/recovery. You will need to stage that, but instead of rebooting when the instructions tell you, you need to reboot to the bootloader (adb reboot-bootloader) and preform the step I stated above, reflashing your current version's system image. Once finished, simply reboot and the OS will start updating automatically.
NOW! The Easy Way!
Download the latest LG G Watch Restore Tool package (I think it's 9.8 now), it has been updated with the latest Android Wear image. So all you need to do is start it and run Return to Stock, your watch will be restored to 5.1.1
Hi, i was using CM12.1, however I accepted an update and didn't figured out it was a CM13 Release, so when i dirty flashed the CM13 ROM over the CM 12.1 one, i got suspicious about something was wrong (due to the loading apps getting forever to configure)...the problem is that i tried then to patch gapps 6.0 and the recommended firmware to avoid problems but got many errors, then i tried to downgrade, however my TRWP just get stuck on the initial blue screen and just doesn't load, so i read what to do and did a downgrade using ToT back to Stock Verizone Firmware, and then tried to reinstall TWRP, i used ioroot to root my G3, then tried to reinstall TWRP but it always get an error, when the phone reboots to enter download mode it gets stuck in the LG Screen, and just stays there...i tried to enter TWRP like usual but the problem with the initial screen getting frozen is still there. I wanna get back to CM 12.1 but i have no idea how to make my TWRP work again
Hope you can help me out guys. Thanks

I did it using the adb minimal tool, just placed the trwp 2.8.6.0 file into the root of sdcard folder, then using adb (phone must be connected to the laptop/pc in ethernet mode to be recognized) i ran
Code:
adb shell
command, after successfull initialize i used
Code:
su
(phone must be rooted to get a working su), and then i just ran the
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
command and the
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
command, during install it says 0+0 files sent, so i think it detects the trwp is already installed but still do something that fix the brick. Hope you can get it working.

If you're using SuperSU, launch the app and look at the list of apps with both permanantly granted or denied superuser permissions. You can click on an app there to change it. Are you using a local Terminal emulator app? If so, that's what would request SU access when you enter the command, but if you've done SU in Terminal on this ROM installation before and you granted permanent SU permissions for it, it would give it again automatically when you enter the SU command.
If you're using ADB via USB from a PC, and you authorized USB Debugging on the phone prompt when you connected from the PC, and you then enter the SU command through the PC, I'm not sure what app shows up in the SuperSU app.
You're welcome, good luck!

By the way, when using Download mode, what tool are you using with it? LG Flash Tool 2014? Did you previously install the Verizon specific LG drivers, reboot the PC, then connect the phone to the PC in Download mode to a USB 2.0 port with the original cable? Check in Device Manager to see if your phone is listed under Modems when your phone is in Download mode? It can take up to 5-10 minutes for the PC to load the driver you previously installed, each time you connect the phone to a different USB 2.0 port.
Sorry if any of this is repeating anything that's already been asked or suggested.
If you can get it to, I'd suggest flashing the 10B KDZ for the easiest to root with the Stump app in brute force mode, and put TWRP on with TWRP Manager.

ok so I figured out the permission denied...somehow my root access in dev options got to off I changed it to adb and got this one to work
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
but this one says /sdcard not found...I created the folder and it still says not found.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
where exactly does the recovery.img need to be located.
I am using LG Flash Tool 2014 and I have installed the specific drivers from lg and I can see my phone correctly in Device Manager. I just keep getting it stopped due to an error, but if I can get recovery working then I should be able to flash a stable CM for now.

ok so I figured out the permission denied...somehow my root access in dev options got to off I changed it to adb and got this one to work
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
but this one says /sdcard not found...I created the folder and it still says not found.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

the file goes in the root of storage, not in a folder, as shown in th pic.
if it says sdcard not found, you either entered the command wrong, or there is something wrong with your file system.
fyi, because the first command worked, you literally have no recovery now. thats what it does, empty the partition.

ok yes I have no recovery, that is correct...I put the recovery.img in /root and run the 2nd command again and it still says dd: /sdcard/recovery.img: No such file or directory
when I open up ES File Explorer it opens by default to /sdcard and immediately says /sdcard/ not found...if my file directory is messed up how do I go about getting it corrected?
edit: I used flashify and got TWRP back on successfully but it still won't go past teamwin splash screen....am I missing something I'm on cm 13.020151124-nightly-vs985.
is there a specific version of twrp I need for that nightly?

I'm attempting to wipe recovery again and try CWM to see if that will work.

unfortunately, i dont know how to fix it.
im betting stock wont flash because of whatever is damaged on your internal card.
i just looked back and noticed this all started with cm13. i have to wonder, how many phones are they going to break before they pull this update until a fix is found.
your is the first that i have come across that broke the internal card, but i have seen quite a few that broke the external.
im not suggesting you try this, as i really dont know what will happen.
as a last resort, you could try to zero out the data partition with dd code.
given the unknown damage to your card, i cant stress enough, this is a last resort, and may brick your phone.
normally, it should react like a factory reset, but if its still unable to use the internal properly afterwards, it very possibly may not boot fully or at all any more.
edit, as far as i know, the newest version is what they are using, but i dont know what that is specifically.

so I have recovery back on my phone but it won't go past splash screen, I can remove recovery to where I have no recovery at all, everytime I put recovery back on from an app like Flashify it is successful but I can't get past the Splash screen of twrp...if i can get twrp or any other recovery on my phone i should be fine that is what is hanging me up...is there another recovery I can use with CM13 other than TWRP so I can try that and if so how do I get it onto my phone, I can't seem to get fastboot to work so help on that might be useful.
when I try the kdz method to revert to stock it fails due to an error...when I try the dll version to revert to stock it sits on waiting for connection, if I unplug the phone it errors out

What error when flashing the KDZ? Most errors in LG Flash Tool 2014 should be totally ignored, just drag the dialog out of your way and don't press any buttons.

it says update failed due to an error and you have to hit retry or it does nothing...unless I need to just do nothing.
edit: IT WORKS YAY...all I did was retry and retry (definition of insanity) and the /sdcard just appeared then the dd command worked and I'm in recovery now yayayayayay
edit: edit: I did take out my eternal SD card so I am going to guess and say that that was the problem from the get go...anybody have any thoughts on that??
