Need links to everything that needs downloaded to root my nabi 2, need to know what needs downloaded to my tablet and what needs downloaded to computer. I have PDA net on my tablet, thought it was needed on computer. Trying to sort out everything before trying to root since I don't have my own computer. I know I won't have backup, but i don't care. Only want root so I can delete all kid apps and bloatware, and use root only apps.
Android version 4.1.1
Kernel 3.1.10
Product version 2.3
Don't know if nabilab download includes everything I need. Apparently nabilab version 2 doesn't work with 4.1.1
I'm a newb.
Hi there!
Well I found a very long thread on your device...perhaps read the opening post then start at the last page and read through it a bit backwards.
>Android Development and Hacking>Miscellaneous Android Development>Nabi 2 Root and Gapps Install
And another possibility...
>Android Development and Hacking>Miscellaneous Android Development>[TOOL][NABI2] NabiLab - Root, Play, Recovery
You will need to reach 10 constructive posts before you can post in those threads and ask further questions, so I suggest you look around and contribute some useful comments where you can.
Good luck!

He had used this in the past with success. ?
Oh, and the computer you use for this one needs Internet access for sure.

can I root my thunderbolt using a mac computer? Also can anyone recomend a website for reading up.on how to root my device and how and where to get cuatom roms?
i find it kind of odd that you're asking such a question on xda ....
(look around, it's all right here. check out development and q&a to learn how)
Short answer - yes
Information on rooting and custom roms can be found in the "Thunderbolt Android Development" forum.
jcase has an excellent step by step thread on the rooting process titled "[ROOT] MR1/OTA PermRoot + Unlock Bootloader - Safer/Easier 5/12/2011"
You will need the Android Debug Bridge (adb) shell installed on your mac in order to use jcase's process. Google something like "how to install adb on a mac" and you will find all kinds of helpful information. Downloads and manuals are also available at developer.android.com.
DemoManMLS has a thread on thunderbolt roms and kernels titled "The Official Thunderbolt ROMs & Kernels Listing v2.0 (Updated 5/28 9:45 PM CST)".
Hope this helps get you started.
There is also a thread in Android Development for OSX (say that 10 times fast). I don't know if it's the "easier/safer" method, but I know it'll get you the platform tools you need.
Hi.
I want to download a few free apps/games from play store but unfortunately they are not available in my country, which is a shame. I've tried everything available on xda forums and Internet like installing Modded Google Play, Market Unlocker, Market Enabler, VPN etc but nothing worked for me. I even tried searching my desired app on default web browser of my phone but it didn't work as well.
Can someone help me out, please!
Hi there!
Here's an article on a modified play store that removes country restrictions. Its in the s2 section, but it will probably work for your device.
I wouldn't do anything unless you take a nandroid backup first. If you have a custom recovery.
You'd need to be rooted for this, so you should have a custom recovery.
Backup and try it. You can restore if you have issues. Or ask in the thread for it if you have issues.

Good luck!!

Hi,
I can't find anything on XDA about your device, but one of the first 2 for methods in this directory may possibly work for you.... Use at your own risk of course,
XDA Root Directory
As far as a newer android version goes.... Unless someone stays development for your device, you will probably have to wait for the manufacturer to update you.... Assuming they do.
Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the answer.
That seems some what dangerous method to root :crying: , but I will see if it will work :fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately I think they wont update it to a later android version. I was thinking if I could update through an unofficial way?
The main reason is to use the apps mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329080 , to remove the buggy touch buttoms, that sometimes when pressing back it also takes screenshots or and reduces the volume, also happens when Im just scrolling the setting menu or in some games, that is really annoying . And to reduce the resolution to see if I can get some better fps in games, though the gpu is a mali 400. But that requires 4.3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer
Rooting has nothing to do with updating... In a way.
Yes, developers can often create aosp roms for devices with Android versions higher than the devices official last version. But I can't find any for your device. And yes, you need root and a custom recovery for flashing roms. So those root methods probably won't help with that.
So it's up to the manufacturer to update you.... And they may have stopped updating your device, or just haven't yet. Updates can come very slow, if ever for less popular devices I'm afraid.
As far as Rooting being risky, yes it can be. Everything we do when altering our devices can be risky. It comes with the territory.

If you want to avoid risk for now, I suggest asking for help in the 2nd link I gave you. ?

Ok, I will follow that link for further help , thanks.
I've installed KofilaKernel on my phone, but I'd like to get rid of it completely and go back to stock. The reason is because I haven't noticed anything different in terms of battery or anything like that. I've installed a few kernel tweaking apps but still haven't seen a change. How can I make it so it was as if the kernel was never there?
Also, second question; I'm new to the whole rooting experience, and have downloaded a number of root apps, some of which I'm not sure I actually need. I'll make a list of them, and could you please tell me if I have any taht do the same thing so that I can uninstall the duplicates? Thanks.

Hi,
Since you seem to have multiple questions here, I suggest posting in your devices Q&A section. I can help you find it if you let us know your device make and model number.
Thanks!

After looking at your post history, I see you are familiar with your device section.
Please note that XDA Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support.
Thank you for understanding, thread closed.
I bought a Diaotec CX-919 from amazon, and supposedly it is capable of more than it has done so far. I don't like playing with it without being able to install cwm or twrp so I am looking for any info on installing a recovery and alternate roms. The one that is on it is 4.4.2 which was a pain to root, and apparently the kernel won't let me OC to the advertised 1.6 - 1.8 GHZ, and the best Wifi connection it even detects is 802.11g. Supposedly it is capable of "n". I'm guessing most of the complaints I have about the device can be solved with changing / modifying software, but I haven't found much reference to it online. The closest I have found is generic info about similar devices using the RK3188 chip. Any help or pointing me in the right direction for help is appreciated.
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. You will need to ask about it here,

And flashing anything not specifically made for your exact device model number could destroy it.
