I've tried about a million times now and can not get my Gtab into clockwork recovery. I downloaded the internal version of clockworkmod and hooked my gtab up to the computer and placed the clockworkmod zip in the recovery folder and unzipped it. Then I turned my device off and held down the power button + vol + it then says "Recovery key detected" and acts like its installing. Then It reboots and I turn it off again and it just keeps doing the same thing saying "
recovery key detected" and won't boot into clockwork!!!! Advice please?? And I know this is a noob question, I do. I tried following the instructions on the stickies but they're vague as to which clockwork zip I am to download??? Please help. Thanks!!!
From what I gather, after you download the internal zip you unzip that so you see the update.zip file & recovery folder. You move both of those to the root of the g-tab which would be /sdcard. I haven't done it yet since mine is charging right now.
Trying it now
GOLDEN....Finally! Thank you sir!

Hmm?.. I think the issue you are having is moving the update zip into the recovery folder.
when you extract the files from the zip file extract them to the main directory "/SCARD" and thats it.
After you extract it you should see (in that directory) a folder that says "Recovery" , within that folder there should be a file named "Command" and thats it, no more files in there.
Also in that main directory you should see an "update.zip" file, leave it there. DON'T MOVE IT into the recovery folder.
from there follow directions to boot into recovery mode.
1) Power down
2) Press and Hold down volume up + rocker
3) Press and hold Power Button
4) when device powers on you will see "Recovery Key Detected"
5) release buttons
6) recovery will install and reboot as normal.
7) Power down and follow steps 1 through 5 again.
8) You should be in recovery mode now.
Edit:
Took too long to make this post!! LOL
my noob questions...what version did you use and can you post a link to it?? i am getting my g tab today!!

Tekrhino, I feel stupid but I have to ask for your help re: this same issue. It seems so clear on what to do from your instructions but I still can't get clockwork recovery to load. I'm having the exact same issue of not getting into clockwork recovery so I must be doing something wrong.
Maybe by telling my steps you can get me on the right path.
1. Downloaded clockwork mod to desktop.
2. extracted update.zip now I have a file that says update unzipped.
3. attached gtab to usb, recognized by computer as removable disk.
4. click on "open folder to view files and see list of different files on gtab
5. copy and paste recovery and update unzipped to this window and disconnect gtab from computer and then try to do the above mentioned steps to get into recovery. get the recovery key is detected message but can't get into clockwork recovery.
I must be doing something wrong but can't figure out what! Any suggestions that can point out the error of my process will be very much appreciated.
GGGwhatever!!
You don't need to unzip update.zip. You just put it in the /sdcard directory and the reboot to CWM and take the CWM options to run it.
Rev
Download CWM to your computer.
Uncompress it get two files (recovery and update.zip) Do not unzip update.zip
put these two files in your root directory on your Gtab ( SDCARD)
Hold Vol+ button turn on.
Sit back and watch

I just got my tablet today and am still playing around with the stock, but from what I read I think your mistake is unzipping the "update.zip" file.
You only unzip the clockwork mod file you downloaded. Then you have two files: 'update.zip' and 'recovery' (folder). Leave the update.zip alone, don't unzip it and put these two files onto your gtab. Either internal storage (sdcard) or microsd card (sdcard2), depending on which clockwork file you have.
Thanks Rev! I know it is something simple but it was what I needed to get started.
Now I can play!

I have downloaded the app from eclips3 and have tried rooting my phone..when i go to reboot my phone and holding down vol down plus pwer key my phone does not read the PB00IMG.zip file, eclips3 has been a lot of help but we have ran out of ideas. Does anyone else have any ideas of how to root my phone or put a ROM on it?
1. try a new sd card
2. make sure you have at least 50 % battery life...
3. Re download the image..
if not...go to verizon n tell them you cant root your phone.. LOL! jk...
hope someone else knows what to do...
lol thanks..do you think verizon will help me root it?? lol jk;-)
do you have the PB00IMG.zip in the root of your sd card (not in any other folders?)
The Beginning
You are going to need the Android SDK installed and working as we all the latest version of Java.
Extract and run ‘SDK setup.exe’ . You can find a quick setup on the download page for Android SDK.
Make sure you install the SDK for 1.5, 2.1 and USB Driver package (to make it easy just click to install all).
Put your phone into USB debugging mode: Settings > Applications > Development > check USB Debugging
Connect your phone to your PC
Open device manager on your PC, the device with the yellow exclamation mark next to it is your phone.
Right click on the device and click ‘Update Device’. Find and locate your Android SDK directory and find the ‘USB Driver’ Folder. If you can’t find the USB Driver folder then you didn’t install the USB Driver Package.
Once your Device driver is updated you can continue on to the next step: Rooting your phone.
Rooting Your Phone
Download PB00IMG.zip
Place PB00IMG.zip into the root directory of your SD Card. (Thats right inside your SD Card, not inside any other folders.)
Power down your phone.
Turn your phone back up by holding down the ‘down volume’ and the power on keys at the same time. It should bring you to the HBOOT screen. When it says Push Activate you have to push down on your trackball. The process will take about 10 minutes, and when your phone starts back up it will take quite a bit longer than usual.
Your Phone is now rooted!! (That was the easy part)
Install Recovery Image
Be sure your phones SD card is not mounted to your computer before you start anything.
Download Recovery.zip
Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.
Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory (‘cd …./android-sdk-windows/tools’ or where ever your directory is but cd is the change directory command) , and execute these commands:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You now have a recovery partition on your phone, you can access it by going into recovery mode on your phone (volume up + power on).
Install new rooted ROM
Download eris21official-root.zip
Copy eris21official-root.zip into the root directory of your SD Card.
Reboot your phone into Recovery Mode. (power down your phone and turn it back on with volume up and power button)
Go to Wipe, and do a wipe of data/factory reset, as well as dalvik-cache wipe.
Go back to the main menu and select “Flash Zip from SDcard”. You should see your eris21official-root.zip, select it and press the track ball to flash it.
You are now done and are running the latest version of the root rom. Remember these last step because they are the steps you will be using to use other ROMS or to update.

Click to collapse
if you follow those steps step by step then it should work... its exactly what i did and what a lot of other people have done
for custom roms just find the rom you would like to try and follow the 'install new rooted rom' steps
i have downloaded and set up the sdk but i dont have a yellow triangle with an explanation point on my device manager..my phone is in debugging mode. I have just tried over and over copying the PB00IMG.zip file to my sd card and it still doesnt read it. It just says trying to read image PB00DIAG.img and a few others and says no image then goes straight to the hboot screen.

I'm rooting right now (my third Eris, actually) and it does that. You need to agree to updating by pressing volume up or down (don't recall which one, the screen will tell you, though..). It looks like it wants you to run through the first step all over again but it's not, the second time is the actual installation of the .zip on your sdcard.
-mak
it says my drivers are up to date when i click update drivers...so now i am stuck trying to root my phone..the problem i am having there is i cant get my phone to read the PB00IMG.zip file from the hboot screen.

First, this post doesn't belong here as this is the HTC Droid Eris forum. Your phone isn't even an HTC brand. I looked and saw that XDA doesn't have a section for an LG Optimus S so I would guess not, personally. Perhaps you should try Google?
Good luck.
Hey everybody! To start off I am a noob at this stuff and really need your help. I just got my Gtablet from Woot.com and am following the instructions to install clockworkmod on it. My root menu already has a file named recovery and a zip file named update.zip. I tried adding the 2 files from the provided downloads on this site as well as removing the ones already loaded in my Gtab but everytime I reboot the Gtab it comes back up in stock TNT and not the clockworkmod. Any ideas?
when rebooting, do you reboot in recovery mode? Pressing power and volume+ buttons altogether.
If you didn't, do that, thats how you get in clockworkmod.
Yeah and the message says "detected recovery key" or something like that but still nothing.

Hi,
You don't want a *FILE* named 'recovery', but rather need to have a *DIRECTORY* named 'recovery', and a file named 'command' in that 'recovery' directory.
So before rebooting, you should have:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/recovery/command
Then power off
Power on + Vol+

P.s. when you power on w Vol+, the Gtab will look for that /sdcard/recovery/command file, and if it finds it will 'execute' the instructions inside the command file. If it can't find an /sdcard/recovery/command file it just boots to Android. It sounds like that's what happening in your case, I.e., no command file, so boot Android...
Jim
Additional info:
The "command" file should have a line in it reading:
--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip
You can edit the "command" file with Notepad on your PC, but make sure to
save it only to "command" with not .txt or any other suffix.
Also, when you use a recovery process -- Android erases the command file
so you can't do it again by mistake. So it pays to have a backup copy
of the command file somewhere where you can copy it back in if needed.
Hope this adds to the help already given.

I ordered my g tablet yesterday and cant wait for it to come in. So tonight I am downloading a rom and clockworkmod v8 so I will be ready when it comes in. However I need a little help. I read the guide on installing clockworkmod and a rom but cant firgure something out. It says to un zip the files into the root of the device. When it means un-zip does it mean to "right click" than "extract all" Because when I do this the recovery folder doesn't have the zipper on it anymore but the update folder still does. Is this right?
The recovery folder and the zip file called update is what you will need to transfer to the root of your SD card when you connect your tablet to the PC. The recovery folder should not be in a zip format, but the update file should be.
ok thanks. But both folders go in the root right?
Yes. Then boot into recovery and it will start the update after so many seconds.
the update folder just says "update" it doesn't say update.zip however it is a zipped folder. Is it the same thing?
Most operating systems, referring to Mcrosoft, hides the extensions of files, but if it has the look of a zip file or what ever software you may be using, I would assume that would be the update file just not showing the .zip extension.
You are making it hard. Just do this.
Hook up Gtablet to your pc by USB. See which drive your pc asigns to your GTablet. Download the correct Clockwork Mod you need.
Unzip it to a folder on your pc. Then just drag and drop the two files after zipping to the drive your pc assigned to your Gtablet. On mine it is G. Yours may be F.
Then just power down your GTablet and then power up holding down power and volume + till you get Viewsonic screen and a message in upper left corner that recovery has started.
Then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
If ClockworkMod installed, start with Part 1, step 6 or 7. READ IT ALL.
After 3 days tried to find out how to recovered or fix bootloop/brick ME170C, here is the way which was succeed for me.
1. Download latest firmware from ASUS website
the best way using complete firmware (containing stock rom) like this version UL-K017-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user, if succeed then later on you can continue with OTA system update
2. Rename the firmware file to K017_sdupdate.zip and put on SD card then Insert the SD card into a tablet. (Use good one SD card, Sandisk perfect I don't know others)
3. Download flashtools and USB driver at the bottom of this thread
4. Enter the DROIDBOOT, for this purpose on the tablet off push and hold button volume + and power then connect USB cable to tablet and PC.
5. Open your firmware archive and copy or drag & drop the boot.img, fastboot.img, splashscreen.img into Flashtools folder ( in computer )
6. go to flashtools folder and then push button shift and right click together and choose “Open command windows here”, to start open CMD on the right folder (in computer)
7. Test your device by typing fastboot devices on that cmd (in computer)
8. Enter the queue codes on CMD; (in computer)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
8. Disconnect the USB cable and select the SD update or Recovery.
9. Take your coffee and sit, walaaaaaaa I see you are smiling

So awesome you figured this out! Glad it worked out for you and I'll be saving this in case I find myself in the same boat. Thank you for this!!
Sent from my Nexus 6
K01A, aka ASUS MeMO Pad ME170CX
Prod date 2014-10 IIRC.
I appreciate you taking time to create this thread, have been unable to flash stock firmware to the ME170CX using just the ME170CX itself. ASUS website just mentions a SOP method and when I insert SD that has had the firmware files which have been extracted (1) time to the SD card, the prompt that is supposed to "pop-up" on the taskbar as mentioned in the PDF's I found online about the SOP method does NOT occur.
(I have 2 ME170CX's about 30-days old running 4.4.2, firmware Version WW_V11.2.3.27 in which one of them all the sudden the camera app crashes 100% of the time, then gives a "No camera is found" error message.
Beyond a hardware issue no-one knows what causes this beyond (1) poster that mentioned he thought problem first occurred after hitting the "Home" button right after hitting the cam icon and the thought is the app gets confused by this and the app/firmware for the camera gets corrupted.
Reset via OS itself. Wiping data and choosing "Recovery" in DROIDBOOT with "FASTBOOT" text at bottom of screen didn't make any difference. Camera is dead, dead, dead.
Figured I'd re-flash with same Version WW_V11.2.3.27, if that doesn't work try Version WW_V11.2.3.28 before RMA'ing it back to ASUS so I appreciate you listing the steps, and also attaching the needed files.)

Question about Step 2, Please clarify:
2. Extract (archive in archive) and throws to the SD card. Rename the file to K017_sdupdate.zip and Insert the flash drive into a tablet. (Use good one SD card)
Click to expand...

To clarify you are saying to extract the firmware from the "zip" package of zip that matches the firmware specific to the device from ASUS, which itself contains a zip file named IFWI.ZIP (1 ), one time, then rename the file named IFWI.ZIP (which contains 4 Bin files) to K017_sdupdate.zip.
Upon extraction process completing and renaming the zip you then copy the contents over to a known good MiroSD of at least 2GB which is formatted FAT32 to the ROOT of the drive.
IE: You do not extract the zip within the archive, you're just renaming IFWI.ZIP to K017_sdupdate.zip?
OR are you saying to extract the BINS also?
If so do these go in the ROOT of the SD card?
Another question, is there a reason for renaming IFWI.zip to K017_sdupdate.zip?

some firmware when you download it from asus site ZIP compresed twice, you can rename it directly from WW_V11.2.3.28.zip to K017_sdupdate.zip, if your device is K01A try to renaming firmware to K01A_sdupdate.zip and then put in SD card (do not created any folder in SD card ). the key to success is the SD card compatibility with ASUS DROIDBOOT, I was using Sandisk SD card. I did format fat32 the SD card and insert in another android devices first and then put the renamed firmware file there.
inside firmware file there is boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img you need to extract it in flashtool/fasboot folder and then flashing it your tablet. this trick to make firmware recognize correct devices to be update.
try again.

RE: boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img you need to extract it in flashtool/fasboot folder ???????
Having some progress, renaming ifwi.zip which contains (4) bin files when Recovery was selected caused the robot with the Updating System Settings to appear, but a couple of seconds later it said ERROR with the robot laying on it's back, then it exits. Device reboots as normal.
To clarify:
WW_V11.2.3.28.zip download from ASUS was extracted with a Windows computer,
WW_V11.2.3.28.zip extracting /creating following folders, files, then the contents were copied to the ROOT of a MicroSD card formated Fat32
1: boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img (TO ROOT)
2: ifwi.zip to ROOT. (contains (4) bin files, is this supposed to be extracted to I assume folder by same name off root? OR does this ZIP file just get renamed?)
3: System folder
4: Recovery folder
5: META-INF folder
I do not see a flashtool/fasboot folder. (Fastboot, right?)
Q: Is boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img supposed to be in a folder named "Flashtool" OR are they supposed to be in folder named "Fastboot" with a pathway of Root (Drive) D:/Flashtool/fastboot ?
.
(NOTE ALL OF THIS IS BEING DONE ON THE DEVICE ITSELF, with contents on SD card.)
Still getting the ERROR! message wit the Adroid robot that is laying on his back.
The zip file that extracts from the main zip WW_V11.2.3.28.zip is named:
ifwi.zip...
I have left a copy of it in the ROOT, plus copied it and renamed it to
K01A_sdupdate.zip
K017_sdupdate.zip
LEAVING COPIES OF ALL IN THE ROOT OF THE SDCARD.
Q: If more than (1) zip is present does this confuse fastboot? OR does fastboot automatically look for zip zip which matches model ID of device? (K01A)
I have left copies of boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img in the ROOT of the drive.
AND
Created: (ROOT) flashtools/fastboot with *img files in it.
Created: (ROOT) fastboot with *img files in it.
Copied the *img files to under "Flashtools" folder in flashtools/fastboot.
Figuring all the bases would be covered. (EG: *img Files in ROOT, files in Flashtools, Flashtools/fastboot, and a folder named fastboot as well.
Q: I've noticed on the SD card files appearing that previously were not there, when the flash aborts is there some kind of file or files you need to delete, or is it ok to leave the newly generated files there?

who said you need to renaming ifwi.zip, What you need is read all instruction carefully,
do not put more than 1 zip file in SD card only firmware file which is already renamed to K017_sdupdate.zip, and use good brand SD card.

when installing update, the robot end with error or not?, the installing bar moved till finish ? the installing process will take 3 to 5 minutes.
if you did all above and still got stuck on asus logo, try to change the firmware with this version UL-K017-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user, if succeed then you can continue with OTA system update

when installing update, the robot end with error or not?, the installing bar moved till finish ? the installing process will take 3 to 5 minutes.
if you did all above and still got stuck on asus logo, try to change the firmware with this version UL-K017-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user, if succeed then you can continue with OTA system update

it seems the tablet didn't read your SD card, to assure SD card problem when the robot appear while system update press buttom vol + and - rapidly to show installing status.
if the tablet didn't read ur SD card try to use another SD card
BIG Thanks
I've been stuck with the bricked 2 day old tablet for at least 3 months. Today I did the procedure you described and it worked. I had to install version V11.2.3.18.2 and then, once unbricked, apply latest version update.
Again, thanks a lot!.. Best regards.

Hi, am trying to fix my ME170CX because an original root attempt that failed and am getting a demo error message that won't go away.
I tried following all your instructions to fix this but it gets stuck "waiting for device" once I begin entering the commands.
I have tried multiple sd cards (including a sandisk) and both the V11.2.3.27 & V11.2.3.28 firmware versions to no avail.
I also tried naming the zip file K017 & K01A.
I am also wondering why we need to download the USB driver file? I don't see anywhere in your instructions on what to do with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Youll want to get your answer from him but i think i may be able to help. You need to install usb drivers so you can access abd and give commands to your tablet. Which i think is why it just says waiting for device... I could be wrong though....

OK, I finally got the usb drivers working on my computer and made it through all commands which is much further than I was getting before.
I got to step 8 "Disconnect the USB cable and select the SD update or Recovery" and selected "Recovery" in DROIDBOOT (I don't have an "SD update" option there) and after like 1 second of "installing system updates" I get the android falling over guy error and then it hangs on the asus splash screen for ever.
download ME70CX for ME170CX

have you been able to restore it ?
Can NOT use download of ME170C
Use download of ME70CX. Just did it, and tablet back to "almost" normal.
I have wifi button issue now. Button is stuck.

That did it!
I used the firmware ME70CX and renamed the file "K01A_sdupdate.zip" and followed all of the other steps as per the original instructions and got my ME170CX working again but for one problem. . . I was still getting the "demo has stopped" error! So I proceeded to attempt root again, this time with RootZenFone-1.4.6r and and now it's working perfectly and rooted as well!
Many thanks to all!!
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me here with unbricking my daughters Nabi 2 tablet.
The long story short is that I've tried to update to the latest OTA with TWRP 2.3.3.0 (Nabi 1.9.37) and gapps installed in the past (in order to have google play services).
After downloading the OTA and successfull file verification it booted into TWRP mode and this is when things went wrong...
As I wasn't sure about how to even leave the TWRP mode I have hit few things by accident (I think one of them asked me if I want to wipe my ROM and I said YES + when I was after that trying to reboot the tablet it gave me a warning saying something like "you have no OS installed - are you sure to reboot?).
Now, of course due to my stupid actions it doesn't work - stuck on Nabi boot logo and when I try to pres Volume+ and Power together it gives me the screen with 4 options to choose from (Boot Normally, Fastboot Protocol, Recovery Kernel, Forced Recovery) but I still can't select/move the highlighted item. All what I'm able to do now is to power it off by holding the power button pressed for couple seconds.
Based on your experience here - is there anything that can be done or is it a "real brick" and we need to buy something new for her?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Hi,
I managed to boot into TWRP somehow...
Could someone please direct me how I can re-flash it with a Nabi 2 UK OS (and where I can source the file from if possible at all)?
Cheers,

Try sections 9 and 10. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
Hi,
Using NabiLab I managed to load stock 1.9.37 through TWRP.
At the moment tablet will start, let me through the initial setup wizard and go into normal mode from when it was new (no Google services available).
When I try to install gapps (TWRP mode) using NabiLab it goes into endless boot loop showing just a splash screen of the screen lock and reloads again.
I tried also bringing it more to factory condition but it is not recognised in NabiLab when android is fully booted (even though PC can see it). I tried different drivers but without too much luck. When in TWRP mode it comes up as Alcatel ADB Device and when adroid is booted it comes up as a storage device rather than ADB.
I feel I'm pretty close but I need just a hint how to solve it finally without bricking it for real...
Cheers

Pretty hard to brick a Nabi2.
Why did you choose 1.9.37? Isn't the latest 2.3.2 and already has Gapps?
When in Android do you have ADB turned on in Developer options?
Is this the procedure you used?
a) Download the ROM for your device in section 10
b) Boot to TWRP (see above for instructions)
c) Do a backup of just the boot partition in TWRP.
- Click Restore tab
- Just check "boot" and nothing else.
- Swipe to Backup
d) Eject the external SD from the tablet and place in the computer
- Note: You should unmount the card from the mount tab in TWRP before ejecting it. (Uncheck the box next to external SD)
e) Connect the SD card to you computer
f) On the SD card navigate to the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXX. XXX is a serial number unique to your Nabi.
g) Make a new folder and call in whatever you want. So it should now look like TWRP/BACKUPS/XXX/yourfolder
h) Unzip the ROM file you downloaded in to the "yourfolder" you created above. The files should look like ext4.system.win, emmc.boot.win, ext.addon.win, etc. Inside the the "yourfolder" directory.
i) Download the bootloader zip for your device from section 10
j) Copy it to the external SD in a location you will remember. This will be for the bootloader update.
k) Eject the SD card from your computer (safely eject it)
l) Install SD card in Nabi
- After inserted in tablet go to TWRP mount tab and check the box to mount the SD card
m) Go to restore tab, and find the backup under the "yourfolder" you made and unzipped the files to.
n) You should be able to select boot, system, and addon and skip the others.
o) If everything restores then go to TWRP install tab, find the bootloader.zip you downloaded and install it.
p) Reboot

Hi aicjofs,
I followed the steps above except step c which I haven't done.
So it looked good with the NabiLab built in 1.9.37 and it seemed to load fine with my TWRP 2.3.3.0 but it was hgoing into this endless boot loop after trying to install gapps. BTW I went for 1.9.37 as it came with NabiLab and turned right.
After your reply I've donwloaded the 232UK stock rom and bootloader. Copied both onto SD card - at that stage it would let me do a restore directly from the SD card so I've copied the 232UK rom into internal memory. Restore process went OK and at the end I've installed its dedicated bootloader...
Right now the situation is that I can only boot into TWRP but restore doesn't show any available roms (both internal or external memory) even though there is backup folder on the SD card.
What worries me the most is when I go to advanced / file manager / sdcard (internal memory) in TWRP mode it doesn't show any files or folders there. When I try to dipslpay tablet information in NabiLab it shows the external SD card properties properly (capacity/free space) but on the internal memory it says "Size df:KB Free can'tKB used find".
Does it mean it has wiped all the internal memory down to zero? Would this be the reason for recovery no being able to identify the roms on external SD card too?
Looking at the log in TWRP mode it is filled with entries like
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open (No such file or directory)
What a pain is this thing, honestly...

You will need to use fastboot to load it. If you have a nabilab folder it already has fastboot available. So using the procedure below you couldn't download the ZIP file I linked in post above. Extract the from the zip the recovery.img or twrp-recovery.img and put it in the nabilab folder. (Im puling the procedure from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119 )
1) To load TWRP we will be in the fastboot operational mode(see section 3)
Device powered off:
-Depending on device press and hold the power and vol - keys OR power and vol + key. Some will boot straight to recovery, and others will come to the "bootloader" screen. We want the bootloader.
-To enter fastboot use vol+ and vol- to highlight and select fastboot protocol. (Device will need to be plugged in to computer and fastboot driver installed before the screen will change)
Device powered on:
-Use ADB and execute from the command line:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
2) USB plugged in and Fastboot/Bootoader Driver loaded(see section 4) verify with windows device manager if needed.
3) Download the TWRP zip file for your device from TWRP list below(see section 8)
4) Extract the file to the location your are running your command prompt(see section 6)
-The file will be called twrp-recovery.img or recovery.img
5) Depending on the name of the file in step 4, load TWRP by typing at the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help but it clearly looks that this is way beyond my knowledge on how to use all of these fastboot, command, adb and so on...
I regret I ever touched the thing at all.
So there is absolutely no easy way - command line is a must from where I am right now?

Its not a must but easiest to try and walk you through. Which version of Nabilab are you using? You could move some files around and still use Nabilab. Up to you which way to go forward. I'll try and help.

Hi,
I'm not so much afraid of copy/paste for cmd... the biggest fear is that I don't know anything about ADB, fasboot etc. So when your instruction in previous post says use ADB and I purely don't know what it means.
I think if the option is there I'd like to ask if you could help with restoring it with Nabilab.
Thanks a million for your help!

Find the Nabilab folder on your computer. Open the "recovery" folder. Then open the "stock" folder. Inside it there is recovery.img file. Rename it to recoverystock.img.
You downloaded the twrp-recovery-JBNV7AUS.zip from a few posts back. Extract the twrp-recovery.img file and put it in the stock folder. Now rename the twrp-recovery.img file to recovery.img.
Now boot the tablet to TWRP recovery(the one that isn't working) and run Nabilab. Select 4 Install recoveries. Then 4 instal stock recovery. Then reboot in to recovery and see if you have the 2.8.5 recovery

Great!
Your trick worked fine and now I can see TWRP 2.8.5.0 and I have problems with drivers - keeps failing to recognize the tablet.
I'll work on the driver issue or is there something I should know about it with TWRP 2.8.5.0 lodaed?
What is my next step from here as Android is still stuck on Nabi logo (no motion) and I'm afraid to do anything in case I create even bigger mess than I already have
I also noticed when I try to shut it down from inside TWRP it asks me a question if I want to root the tablet (Install super SU) - is it something I should do and at what stage?
Thanks!

If you can see the files again now with the correct TWRP. You can try to restore the 2.3.2 ROM again. Or maybe try the procedure from post #5 with the 2.2 ROM I linked to in post #7. You don't have to do the bootloader install anymore so skip that step. Installing root doesn't matter, you can choose to install or not.
