when you flash any new sbf (which is exactly what an OTA does), you will lose root. You just have to use one of the methods and see if you can get root back.

Either I'm noobing something up, or there does seem to be some change to the root method needed as I had this working before.
Running photon-torpedo.sh still gives me that giant error message that successfully roots me so the hard part is done.
However, it seems like the install-su.sh is complaining:
mount: can't find /system in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
plus a few other errors after that.

root is still open. i just rooted through adb and am typing this while tethered.

almost had a heart attack...now rooted again

Will I have to do the dock-less method again after updating, to use just an hdmi cord for webtop?

Yup, I was just noobing something up. Not sure what I did wrong, but a reboot and try again and I'm rooted again.

well, if all you're wanting to do it turn it into a brick. I can ship you a brick via UPS. lol Then you could use that brick that I ship you to turn it into a brick. hehehe.
Just watch the videos on youtube and do exactly what they do. the timing has to be right.
Have you tried to run a RUU?

Ok.
What exactly does your phone do when you power it on? Does it boot? When did this happen? What were you doing to the phone when you noticed this? When you say you've tried everything what exactly have you tried?

First I would suggest that you get S-Off. You should be able to complete that using revolutionary.
Once that is done let me know. Go to revolutionary.io and follow the instructions there to obtain s-off.

There is an extra guide for this.
(did the same with EU RUU + HEX editing of img i made with dd command etc.)
Dunno if there is a difference of rooting cdma version u have.
Maybe u`r hboot is corrupted, but don`t panic yet... with upgrade - downgrade, u should fix it. (in theory)
If u`r screen gets black... ye, it`s bricked
U`r still far away from it? )
revolutionary not work either.
waiting for device...
The good news for you is that you have HBoot 1.40 so you only need to root or to restore via RUU

[Q] Nabi 2 Root Problems

Hi
I would have posted this in the Nabi 2 root thread, but i don't have enough posts to do so.
I have tried and tried to root both my girls Nabi 2 tablets and i get errors with both of them, i have rooted a few Android devices before and find it easy, but i just cant get these to Nabi 2's done.
Using jmztaylor's method i get this error:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If i try to install root or gapps via recovery, i get this error:
I cannot see or understand what i am doing wrong, i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 at Christmas and everything went fine, im using the same computer to do thes Nabi 2's but just errors all the time.
My most recent update on them was December i think, is it possible Nabi may have blocked the method to do this between the root being released and Christmas ?

No i just have the normal Nabi 2, im thinking it was the update i did on Christmas day, its above the version that everyone is rooting their Nabi 2's on.
EDIT
Thanks to your link, i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501
It seemed to root fine, i even have SuperSU on the Nabi, but it wont install gapps, so i tried installing the Market independently, it installs but wont run, lol its frustrating as i normally find these things easy, now i feel a bit stupid for not being able to get it sorted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065878&highlight=nabi
not sure if you tried this version of gapps ?
I just go in to Twrp in choose install
this tablet does tend to exersize the brain a bit more
thank goodness for XDA forum. Oorah .... lol

Because you are using IE. Use another browser and it will be fine. There is some database and if IE doesn't see this specific file downloaded a certain number of times it calls it malware. Its a stupid feature.

There's instructions on that same webpage for how to do it. I think its step 8 or something. You just have to ignore the "sudo" since you're not on Linux.

Since you want to keep your data, try to get into download mode and flash a kdz.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you are gonna have to do a "hard reset" (factory reset/data wipe).
May you provide me with a good tutorial for doing it?
Here is one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
If it doesn't work, just use Google to find another one.
I will tell you about the hard reset, if you want.
I am problematic - and some alternative because I cannot install stuff on this PC - some portable version of LG drivers? I cannot find

Nope.
Get an admin to install it.
No way around it.
Unless you want to try the hard reset, which doesn't need a PC.
But you will lose all your data.
Sic! But on the downloaded mode, it's writing unrooted user b13>?
Sic! But in downloaded mode there's info that it is unrooted user b13>?

Even better!
That is meant for LG's engineers to see if your phone is rooted when you sent it in for a fix under the warranty.
If it says rooted, they will mark warranty void and won't fix it, unless you pay them.
Anyway, it let's you flash no matter what it says there.
So go ahead and flash the kdz.
Okay, cool for me.
I already started it but
1st I am not sure which version I have, can I check it somewhere
2nd the tool shows that my phone is disconnected

Make sure that the cable is good.
The older it is, the more likely it is to cause issues during data transfers.
My suggestion?
Get a new one.
Or, you could borrow one from a friend, but make sure it works on data transfers, not just charging.
I made 2 kdz flashes but the phone still bricks. Rescue data, but all in all install Lineageos- CM RIP. Thank you!
