[Q] Fuhu Nabi 2 - Root and Removing Monarch

I have managed to follow the instruction to root and install the google play store from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 but it also mentions the ability to remove the Monarch kids interface and make it a regular ICS tablet. I am unable to find the system/vendor files to remove them. I have root permissions since it allowed me to run Titanium Backup.
I used ES File Explorer and wasn't able to find the necessary folders to remove Monarch. Any advice?

Go into the settings of ES file explorer and check everything under root settings. The only folder you want to get rid of is the Apps in the vendor folder. Anything else can harm the system. I just used the cut feature on the apps folder and pasted it to my sd card to make sure it worked first. Good Luck!

That worked great, thanks. I had to make sure to change it to always boot in parent mode or else it tried to boot the monarch interface on a cold start and, not having the necessary files any longer, just ended up with a blank screen. I had to restore a unit to factory and then switch to boot in parent mode, then remove the apps folder. Works like a charm now.

Guess I missed something and should've read better, how did you set it to boot only into parent mode.

Did you try going to settings -Security - put a TIC in " Set Parent Mode as default mode " ?

I used TWRP to do anything - rooted or unrooted you can make change as you wish .
when you are in TWRP mount system then use advanced and file manager
hope this helps

I did not see that until you mentioned it...thanks
I was able to get it to work by going into a startup manager and freezing kidsmode2 and nabimode. I erased the apps folder though cause I wanted the space freed up.

Completed the OTA to 1.9.37, root, and gapps install - had the upgrading message on every boot but fixed that with the new gapps package (thanks a lot to all the great developers on this forum!)
However I still have a problem since the root process that I haven't seen addressed so far after searching the forums.
After my putting the Nabi 2 to sleep and plugging in the charger, it will fully charge and turn the battery light green as it should, shortly after that the device then powers off and requires a reboot/cold start vs. just a quick click of the power button to return from sleep mode. It does reboot fine and has a full charge - all other operations are normal.
Any suggestions on how to eliminate this power down/reboot after charging?
Thanks!

I flashed your package but the android upgrading still shows up for me,only for a few secs and it seems as if no programs get upgraded...what are your thoughts on this? How can I find the stray files that are causeing this?

My tablet only boots in TWRP v2.2.2.1
I've flashed at least 5 different images in fastboot using at least 5 different methods. Every time I think I make any progress, I reboot my nabi2 and it reboots directly to TWRP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to flash a backup of 1.9.37 or just a program thru install? I know that if you wipe system and then flash another backup, if the backup is no good, twrp will not boot system but go right back to twrp. That is a safety setting, cause if it booted with no system installed you would most likely have a bricked device. That happened in the early days of Twrp, so they added the safety setting. If you flashed a backup, how long did it take, a good backup or image will take 10+ minutes, a bad 1 will say done in 1-2 minutes or less.
Might help if we had a little information about what you where doing.

Ok your backups are all bad, that's why it finishes so quick and won't boot out of TWRP recovery. You will have to download a image file and get it into the TWRP folder on your sdcard. You will have to download it on your computer unrar it and name the folder something like unrooted 1.9.37 and transfer it to your micro sdcard. Then put micro sdcard back in tablet. In TWRP recovery, you will have to go into Advanced>File Manager. In file Manager, you will have to click on external sdcard and copy the file from there back to sdcard>TWRP>backups>serial#>unrooted 1.9.37 it doesn't matter what the folder name is that you put in the serial# folder but the all the others are as named and your new folder HAS TO BE IN THE SERIAL# FOLDER, or Restore will not see it. When that is done go back to main menu and Restore, you should see your new folder, choose it and swipe to restore. This should take 10+ minutes. You should be able to reboot to system then.

In es go to the menu where you turn on root explorer and tap the words 'root explorer' then a menu will pop up, tap mount r/w and then set /system to rw. You then should be able to delete the files. After you're done deleting set system back to read-only.

[SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/06/16]

Simmo's SC-02C Any Rom Patcher
with special thanks to wjchen0 for the ntt gps kernel module
Tested and working with ICS and JB 4.1.x
JB 4.2 works, but requires a Siyah based kernel or a kernel designed specificially for the SC-02C, such as KBC.
Please press the Thanks button if it works for you.
Code:
Modem: SC02C-OMLPL
Apps: ClockworkMod SuperUser
Busybox
Tweaks: Set NTP server (jp.pool.ntp.org)
Free tethering (tether_dun_required=0)
NTT GPS & compass fix
Facebook ContactsProvider database patch (is_restricted=0)
Black camera viewfinder fix for the Docomo rom
CyanogenMod APN xml (with spmode)
Samsung JellyBean fonts (incl. Japanese)
SP-Mode Mail with Push & Docomo Account Authenticator
Docomo emoji library
How to get a working JellyBean rom.
Root your phone and install a custom kernel. Reboot into CWM.
Download a custom rom. I recommend WanamLite or NeatRom.
Download my tweaker.
Install the rom first, then my tweaker.
Reboot, then you're done.
Note : You must install the tweaker every time you do a full wipe.
If you are running Jelly Bean then you can install CommuniCase by Docomo, instead of using SP-Mode Mail.
Changes:
2013/06/16
Updated the DcomoAccountAuthenticator to work with Docomo CommuniCase.
Added support for Docomo emojis in keyboard that use it.
Reverted to the OMLPL modem, as I found it works better.
2013/02/04
Updated the system modules and modem from the latest OMMP4 rom.
2013/01/28
The gps module has a bug that cuases the system to hang at the docomo logo.
You must install this new update to stop it happening.
If you already have the "stuck at docomo logo" problem, download the new tweaker and install on top. It deletes the corrupted file.

Works great
Great tweak. Working for me so far and I had a few issues myself. I will say that in order to get the ROM (I'm using Wanamlite 14.0 and the 23 Toggles) and the tweaker working properly I did have to do a full wipe.
I will just recommend that anyone who wants this to work BACKUP - BACKUP - BACKUP.
I also used Titanium Backup (correctly - Thanks Simmo :silly: ) to backup all user apps. Don't worry about the system apps - the ROM takes care of them.
My order of installation -
1 - BACKUP your current ROM - again - BACKUP your current ROM
2 - Use Titanium Backup (use this guide) to back up your user apps so you can get them back afterwards. When using Titanium Backup for the first time on a new ROM, you may get the message about using the phone's original ID, ignore it, let it use the new one.
3 - Follow SimmoF's instructions in the first post
4 - Reboot and enjoy.
Thanks again to SimmoF - buy him a beer.

Then it obviously appears that it is not the ROM or the tweaker causing the problem. Please be sure that you have the right Tweaker B version and boot into recovery and run it through again.
If not, I would say try again but after the ROM installs let it reboot before installing everything else. Run through the google setup stuff, don't do the samsung stuff, skip it.
Then go in and only restore user apps. I always thought I knew Titanium Backup well, but, as Simmo pointed out to me, I was wrong. Go ahead and JUST RESTORE YOUR USER APPS - NO SYSTEM APPS OR DATA. You may also have to go in and set your apn to the spmode.ne.jp .
This is what worked for me. After you have done that and just the ROM and your restoration works, test with a few reboots. Then go and get the tweaker file again. Just to be safe.
I know that, myself, if I let everything settle and check for running operation, then install the 23 toggles, tweaks and sp push files, it works.
If you get stuck at the boot logo AND you have downloaded the Tweaker B version of the file before wiping again - try to boot into recovery and just run the tweaker file as suggested.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!
It's a very smooth ROM. So far...

Re: [SC-02C] Any Rom Patcher by Simmo [Updated : 2013/01/28]
Finally set up everything.
Trick is not to use titanium back up to restore data.
Btw how can I use other kernel ?
And any suggestion for battery
Now on wanamlite Rom with simmon tweak.

Run a disk checker.
If on windows. Mount as USB device.
Open a command window on the PX.
Run the command "chkdsk driveletter: /f"
That should fix it. If it says partition type is RAW, then something strange happened and it needs to be formatted.
If your internal /data partition is damaged, you need to do something different. Tell me a If that fixes your problem.

how is your battery consumption\ for wanamlite?
I know this rom is great but the battery really decrease too fast. Even I close the mobile data and wifi. It drops around 5% per hr. compared to cm9, it is far too high

XXLS8 has issues. the XXLSJ leak is much better actually.
I recommend going back to the leak or going to cm10.1
I am playing around with cm10.1 at the moment.
XXLS8 sucks.

I had the same problem. It's not the zip file that is a problem - it's google drive
First, I am assuming that you are doing this from the phone itself.
I used Firefox and this is what you need to do -
1-Click the link to download the file and once you are in the directory where you see the zip click on it.
2-It will open and show you the contents of the zip - don't worry
3-Click the menu key on your phone and one of the choices listed will be show as desktop or something like that - click it
4-Let page reload
5-Now at the top of where the zip file is shown, you will see some menu choices - File Edit, etc.......
6-Click File and I think the bottom choice is download. Click that and it should download the zip file.
It will give it a random name but you should be able to get things figured out from here.
Please thank me below and make sure you get simon (or Me - haha) a beer.

Verizon Galaxy S III (d2vzw): Persistent Google Wallet [ROOT]

__
__

ATT seems to work
Sweet idea! Just tried this on an ATT GS3 and it seems fine. I did not test other apps. I do get an unsupported device tag at the top in the app but I don't think that impedes the function. When I use the Nexus device device, name and model (maguro, yakju and Galaxy Nexus) I don't get the warning but probably more likely to end up with incompatible apps.
Do you reset Google Wallet prior to flashing a new rom or do you just have the build.prop update before you run wallet?

__

I'm confused. I have Wallet installed on my Verizon GS3 and I have no problems now. I am rooted and running Synergy ROM. When installed Wallet, I had to use a patched APK and edit my build.prop prior to installing Wallet to trick the phone similarly to what your script does (Galaxy Nexus, yakju, and maguro instead) After installing and setting up Wallet, I restored my original SCH-I535, d2vzw, d2vzw settings in build.prop and rebooted again. I am running Wallet no problems and it doesn't even tell me that I am using an unsupported device.
When I reboot my phone, it does not affect Wallet and my build.prop is not modified. I don't understand why someone would need your script to keep modifying the build.prop to say it is the pretend device? Please don't take my reply wrong, I'm simply trying to figure out what I am missing, not be a jerk.
I am always leary about leaving my build.prop modified because you trick other things into thinking your phone is something it is not. I feel this leaves you open to potential problems. I used Goo Manager the other day to see if there were any updates for my ROM and because of a modified build.prop it thought my phone was an AT&T GS3 and if I had downloaded and tried to flash an AT&T ROM I might have bricked it. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't want to take that chance. Also, isn't there a possibility of downloading an app from the Play Store that is only for the Sprint phone you're pretending to be and causing problems?

Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for the info. Just so you know, I used that Google installer few weeks ago and it worked fine. I changed to a new ROM last week and forgot to reset wallet before switching which caused bunch of problems. I was able to fix them but the installer did not work for me anymore. I was however able to get wallet working by manually editing build.prop and installing a patched apk of wallet. After wallet was up and running, I reverted back to the d2vzw and SCH-I535 version of build.prop. So you know, I have my correct build prop AND a working Google wallet. I can send you the link but its the Verizon Google wallet thread in the mods and app forum under Verizon GS3. I understand if you switch ROMs it would need to be reset and build prop edited again, but I don't think the is a need to keep your build prop edited unless you are using the play version of wallet. Perhaps the link could get you the patched version and that might help.
Take care,
Jim

jeremiahmegel said:
As I recall, the patched APK isn't the newest version/update of Google Wallet, right? That's why I'm using the Play Store version: to receive updates to the app. If you don't care about updates, though, I suppose your way of doing things would be best. (I don't think it works throughout ROM updates, though. Let me know if I'm wrong about this.)

Oh OK... I'm not sure but that makes sense... You would know more than me! Thanks... Again I was just looking for clarification. Thanks for your work. Good luck.

jeremiahmegel said:
The "Unsupported device." error only shows up if you're running Google Wallet on a rooted device (unsurprisingly); you're right that it doesn't impede the function. And you don't need to do anything as the user before or after flashing a new ROM; once you update the ROM, your phone should reboot automatically within a minute or two of starting up to put the new build.prop into effect! Simply install this once and don't worry about it again! (Unless, of course, you uninstall Tasker or wipe your phone or something.)

So to clarify, when you say:
"And you don't need to do anything as the user before or after flashing a new ROM"
Do you really mean "you still have to reset Google Wallet before flashing a new ROM"?
Also, I'm wondering if it's possible that modifying build.prop might cause my Nfc.apk to stop functioning. I'm wondering this because it stopped functioning (after using 'Google Wallet Installer' - which does replace nfc.apk I believe, so that could be it, but not sure).

Jim will you please tell me how you fixed it? I did not reset Wallet before installing a new ROM a couple months ago and unfortunately all my nandroids are bad due to a CWM bug involving partitions (I didn't do anything to my partition structure manually...).
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I'll tell you what I did, but I was just trying anything so I'm not sure if I got lucky or if you have to do everything I say... First I went into application manager and I cleared all data and updates from wallet. Then I rebooted into recovery and did full wipe 3x. Then I went onto Google on my laptop and logged in. Go to wallet and then to your activated devices. Not sure what they are called but you will see all your devices that have wallet. Some might day deactivated. If there are any active then disable or remove them. I don't remember what the term is Google uses to Deactivate. Once you have no active wallet applications left on Google go back to your phone. Install the working ROM or good backup. I had a good backup with wallet working...i was able to restore that nandroid and reset wallet from within the app so that i could then install the new ROM. then After setup, reboot again and wipe dalvic cache in recovery. Then try to install wallet again. Thats pretty much how I got it fixed... The key was getting it deactivated online.

Oh and I uninstalled wallet after clearing the cache and updates.. Forgot that part sorry.
Jim

I followed the instructions to the T and it worked perfectly. Thank you. But my question is, what happens to the Tasker Profile? After, I went back in to check out what you did. I am a relatively new Tasker user and was curious about what all was intailed. But when I went back the profile was gone and the only sign that I had imported the xml file was two variables. Is it supposed to disapear?

As I recall, the patched APK isn't the newest version/update of Google Wallet, right? That's why I'm using the Play Store version: to receive updates to the app. If you don't care about updates, though, I suppose your way of doing things would be best. (I don't think it works throughout ROM updates, though. Let me know if I'm wrong about this.)

Correct, the patches lag behind the updates somewhat. You can only use Play Store Wallet if you build.prop matches Play Store Wallet accepted devices (d2spr being one of them). For this reason, I prefer to wait for the updated patched version - if you do that, you can keep d2vzw or whatever you want in your build.prop
As far as resetting when changing ROMs, back when everything was stored on the secure element resetting was a big pain in the ass. I don't even bother anymore - there's a separate "reset wallet" option in the menu of the actual app (different than clearing app data), but you don't need to use it. I just keep a version of Wallet Installer V3 in TiBu, and restore it after installing a new rom. After restoring Wallet Installer, just run it once and then reset build.prop - the installer downloads the latest patched Wallet.apk.

jeremiahmegel said:
No, it is not supposed to disappear. Since Tasker updated its UI, Step 4 ("Tap the green check-mark at the bottom-left of the screen to save the profile.") is no longer available. Instead, press the back button or home button on your phone (or just switch to another app) to save the profile, then continue to Step 5. Let me know if this works. Nice to know that I could help you get Google Wallet up and running!

I tried going through the steps again but I cant get Tasker to recognize the xml file when going through the import sequence. I downloaded and extracted (when extracrted its another file folder with the xml file in it), placed it on the root of my internal sd card. I go into tasker to import. It recognizes the file folder but when I select it, there isn't anything inside. Tasker wont recognize the basic xml file. I remeber when I first did this, the xml file was recognized without being in a folder. I can plainly see the xml file on the root of the sd card from Root Explorer in ROM toolbox. Would have it something to do with the permissions of the xml file? I show the permissions as rw-rw-r--.
I think I know why I am having to go this. I didn't follow the step to the T. I clicked "Run" before saving becasue I didn't see the green checkmark.

I am not what was happening but I updated to CM10.1.0 RC2. I cleared anything I had tried previously with this tut. redownloaded the file and went though everthing again. It worked and the tasker profile stuck this time. Thanks for the help.

Great write up. Very simple to install. Google wallet was installed and running in less than 5 minutes. Thank you!

Can anyone confirm this method works with 4.3? I made the jump to CM10.2 Nightly 8/27 (and tried 8/14, I think) and my phone goes into bootloop. It was working fine on CM10.1.2.

Link2SD completely messed up my phone

Alright guys I'm about to blow my top off here. The most recent Link2SD update completely messed up my entire phone.
For reference, I'm currently running an LG G3 D851 4.4.2, stock ROM and rooted. Everything was fine until recently when I started noticing a Play Store update app error "-110".
Not knowing what it was, I investigated, and found that my entire group of app installations have been completely screwed up.
1) First off, I can't install ANYTHING. No app, no nothing. I need to probably install an updated Link2SD to fix this nonsense...right? Can anyone direct me to how I would install the apk using ADB?
2) My mount script is broken and it's not working. It tells me "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150". As a result, my SD 2nd partition remains unmounted....which I think is the source of this entire problem.
3) Viewing my internal storage through DiskUsage, I've discovered that every single app I used to have installed has been "merged" into a single folder simply called "System data". Referenced through this photo here: http://i.imgur.com/ksukQGG.png . Instead of showing the individual folders, e.g.: Google Translate, Pocketcasts, etc, it just shows that big anonymous block of "System Data".
4) If I go to Settings -> Apps. Every single app shows up with "0.00b" as their app size.
HELPPPPP PLEASEEEE I will seriously monetarily tip someone if they can provide me with a solution to this.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Unfortunately though, it looks like I already have the most recent version installed, 4.0.9? Would this solve anything by basically reinstalling it? I was hoping there would be like a 4.1 version that would fix the issue or revert changes or something.

Update:
Tried installing an app through ADB and it now shows me this:
WARNING: linker: app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix.
pkg: link2sd-4-0-8-multi-android.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Any idea anybody? Like before, I'd be willing to donate to anybody who can provide me with the solution. Thanks!

Oh, I was trying to downgrade Link2SD in hopes that it would fix whatever happened with 4.0.9.
According to the about page in Link2SD, I currently have 4.0.9.

I can uninstall apps, but I can't install or update anything. That's why I was trying to install through adb instead, which unfortunately still doesn't work. When I open up Link2SD, it doesn't give me an option to reload, it only gives me the option to "Recreate mount scripts". If I click on it, it gives me the mount script error - "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150."

Is there any really important data on your installed apps? If I was you I would simply reflash the firmware and start from scratch instead of spending hours to find a solution. The point is that you don't know what you changed that your phone became like this. I have send a email to the Link2SD developer but I'm not sure if he can provide a solution.

I'm actually backing up all my app data as I'm typing this. The only concern I have though, is that my phone is actually on the stock recovery. I only rooted it because I didn't want to deal with the potential for something like this to happen (which would suck up all my time, haha). As a result, I can't flash anything. So if I decide to stock factory reset, would that clean the /system /data, and everything else that needs to be cleaned for my phone to work properly again? I thought that root (and potentially whatever screwed my phone) persisted through a stock factory reset, which would make trying to do that pointless.

I really don't know, if your root survives a factory reset. Probably it will. A custom recovery is really usefull as you can make complete nandroid backups

Well, I solved the mount problem by formatting my SD card. But that didn't fix anything else unfortunately.
I also noticed a couple interesting things:
1) Android and Link2SD show my data and cache for ALL apps to be 0.00b. I know that's not true because I went to the /data/data/app directories and found the data exists.
2) I can use all my apps normally with no problem. that means all the files are there, and can communicate correctly(?)
3) I still can't install any app at all.
Next course of action: Completely disable link2sd's boot script perhaps? So what would that entail, deleting install-recovery.sh from /system/etc/ ? Anything else, or would that be good enough?

S7 Nougat root kernel
S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip
FlashFire.apk
Install Instructions From Any Build
Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don't follow them to the T, don't complain.
1) Unzip G930TUVS4BQC1_TMB4BQC1_TMB_T-Mobile_USA_7.0.zip. Boot the phone into download mode(Volume down, home, and power) then flash all four files(BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone will reboot into recovery and throw an error. Reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again.- Thanks @thefirst__noel
2) Don't bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk, AP_G930TUVS4BQC1_CL10376601_QB12919907_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, and VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_QC1_V13_VZWS7FLAT.zip to Internal Storage.- Thanks @appye
3) Make sure secure boot is turned off!!! Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin.
4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC. May need to right-click and run as administrator.
5) Now install FlashFire. In FlashFire, select add flash firmware package and choose AP_G930TUVS4BQC1_CL10376601_QB12919907_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 and make sure all partitions are checked. Then add flash zip or ota and choose VZW_TMO_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_QC1_V13_VZWS7FLAT.zip and tap mount system when FlashFire asks.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP!!!!!!!- Thanks @dclutter1
8) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first, then the Aroma Installer will start.
9) In Aroma, select wipe ALL data(DO NOT KEEP SU)-----See notes below.
10) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.
Notes: If you are installing the S8 apps in V13, then you will get a bunch of force closes from everything. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you will run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk. If you don't wipe data, then please don't post issues in the thread.
-When going from BS_FREE QB1 to QC1, I was able to keep my settings and data by choosing keep data in Aroma. I still pass SafetyNet. I can't guarantee that this will work for everyone, but you can try if you want. This probably will not work if you are coming from MM. If you decide to take this route and have issues, do a full wipe and reinstall before posting any problems.

@jrkruse is the man to ask. I don't have the new unlimited data plan yet, so I can't be certain.

why use hosts file to block ads when we have adhell and disconnect pro that have actual app interfaces?

If you flashed the eng kernel, then you are already halfway to root. All you gotta do is run root.bat lol. You must have chosen T-Mobile, because it will boot without the eng kernel on Verizon. I haven't played with the T-Mobile side of it.
It's funny that people want to root this, as the point of it is to modify the system without being rooted, allowing you to run the factory kernel and pass SafetyNet.

Fyi, I definitely chose Verizon during the installation and I had to flash the eng kernel to get it to boot as well.

Something is wrong.
1) Did you flash ALL AP partitions in FlashFire?
2) Did you choose to wipe all data, including SU?
3) Did you download the zip I linked or the one from jrkruse thread.
4) Did you flash the BL, AP, and CP with Odin prior to doing any of this.
I flashed this zip multiple times before uploading it and didn't have to flash the eng kernel to boot afterwards. I'm running the stock kernel, which is embedded in the zip.

I followed the instructions to a T. I figured out my problem though; In flashfire, I needed to remove the "inject root" (or whatever it's called) line that it automatically adds after step 6. It booted normally after doing that.
