I've searched around here but am unable to figure out what is required to root my Nabi 2. I actually only want to root the device so that I can use the foldermount app to move app data to the SD card.
A lot of the info I can find seems to be pre-OTA (well, the latest one anyhow) and I'm not sure if that invalidates the instructions.
My device: -
Stock everything as per latest OTA update.
NABI2-NV7A - US
Android 4.1.1
Build JRO03C
Total noob here, so any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

I recently picked up a Sony Tablet P model SGPT211US/S. It's the AT&T model, I got a really good deal on it but I've been struggling to root it. As best I can tell I've installed the drivers and the adb package. From there I've tried the all in one root tool with little luck. The tablet is running 3.2.1 and wont find any up dates to ICS.
I've done some research and there are 2 things I've found. A few times I've come across some people talking about un-rootable devices. Going from a process of elimination I'm assuming the SGPT211US/S might be one of them?
I'm extremely familiar with rooting on the Galaxy Tab and S devices. Is there some sort of similar method to Odin an ICS Firmware to the Tablet P (SGPT211US/S)? I'm a little lost here. I've even read that ICS wont come to the AT&T version of the P. I don't need the data connection and from what I've read you need to root in order to flash custom roms, which has been my experience with Samsung devices. Is there a method to flashing a stock or modified stock rom on the Tablet P similar to odin flashing to a Samsung device? Any help would be great, this one is really confusing me.

If there is no root obtained from using AIO then you are out of luck. Can you tell me your build number ie 3.2.1R2 kernel 10, from settings about. Many users have the kernel 10 issue where the exploit has been patched and we are currently awaiting a new root method.
What was the nbx02_XXX number from system/build.prop i assume it is nbx02_001. Which is normal US. Maybe AT&T have disabled OTA updates? In which case if you can find an update on the web you can apply it through recovery.

First off I appreciate the help!
Honeycomb
3.2.1
Kernel version
2.6.36.3
I'm not sure I fully follow the nb info. I don't see it.
I do see integ-build5 #1after the kernel version.
Under build number
THMAAS0015400
Baseband
R4A02
Maybe this will help determine if I'm unable to root? I might try the update through recovery, however I've read that might make it so I cant root?

Ok so you are what we call kernel5 so you should be able to root, unless AT&T have patched the root exploit. Can you try the attached program, it is the original exploit that is in the AIO tool but may help.
same tab here, it's possible to install ics, even loosing the at&t branding? I don't care

Stifilz, I had my hopes up reading your posts here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592663&page=2) that I might be able to update to 3.2.1 and then root with AIO. When I tried installing the suggested rom signed-nbx03_006-ota-0042.004.zip using recovery, I got the following error:
Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku
Do you think this is because I'm currently on a 3.2 base10 kernel, because I'm trying to install a French ROM on a US tablet, or because it is a Wifi+3G ROM and this is a Wifi-only tablet? I only tried this version because it is what you suggested in another post. Is there a US Wifi-only, non-base10 version to try instead? Is there a way to tell the kernel version of a .zip without flashing it?
My tablet info is:
Model: SGPT112US/S
Android Version: 3.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: 1.10.001100001
Best Regards.

I was able to successfully update to 3.2.1 build 5 using signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001.zip and then root with AIO. At least the script completed, but I'm not sure how to tell if it succeeded or not.

Glad to hear you sorted it. Download app such as root checker is prob easiest.

Little help, please
I have the same tablet P (AT&T) as the original post... About screen shows it's also build5.
I was successful using the AIO to achieve root on the Honeycomb it came with, but trying to update to ICS has gotten me nowhere.
I thought perhaps using the AIO's Region Changer combined with one of the OTA update files I found in another thread would be enough. It failed with the message about 'prohibit update because of base sku'. I then tried various combinations of fiddling with the settings on the Aio and downloading other files from different threads with no luck. Even tried that "nbx03" update even though I know this one is nbx02 and being a noob I haven't the slightest idea how to fool the device into using that update.
I'm ok with using what I have if there's really no way to upgrade, but it seems like with all the different options there SHOULD be some way. Any ideas? I'd appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks in advance.

Hey All.
I rooted my phone previously using method one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and installed clockwork mod using this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
My phone's carrier is Optus and I am currently running Android 4.0.4 with baseband version I9I00XXLQ6 and build number IMM76D.XWLPW
I'm wanting to update my firmware to Android 4.1 .. can anyone point me in the right direction of some instructions which will enable me to do this with my current phone versions?
Thanks
I have recently flashed Jellybam onto my S2... (4.1.2)
Other than I cant find google talk on the latest version, its works perfectly.
The instructions are pretty clear once you have your phone rooted with Clockworkmod. It only takes a small number of steps and a couple of minutes.
This is the thread for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and it points you to this site

I'm no expert (not by a long way!) but shout if you have any questions and if I can help you out, I will!
cheers,

Just download the rom you want from dev section, place on sdcard and flash via CWM same as you would any other rom.
Greetings all! A newb I am. I updated to 4.3 today. I run apps that require my phone to be rooted. Can someone give me some steps or point me to a reliable link as to how to root (to stock) my HTC One running 4.3
Or...
Should I update to a 4.4 rom, and if so, which one?
Thanks in advance!!

[Tutorial] Root, Unlock, Recovery and flashing a Custom ROM
Thanks!!! I thought I had updated to 4.3...I downloaded the update but it did not install. Is there a tutorial for updating a rooted device (i.e., going from 4.1.2 to 4.3)?
Hello!
I am desperately trying to root my Verizon Galaxy S4. See additional system info below. I have tried TowelRoot, Framaroot, and Kingoroot (APK and Windows version). Please help me root this phone. I recently broke contract with Verizon and them manipulating and controlling what is my property (I paid for it) is driving me crazy! Would prefer not to have to wipe my phone, but at this point I am desperate.
As well, I am a Mac user and currently don't have access to a Windows computer to use Odin. I got lucky to have to opportunity to try Kingoroot (Windows) but is not easy for me to get. Can someone please help me root this? Ideally, without needing a windows machine, but if necessary (with time) I can find one.
If this can't be done without Windows, then I would like instructions for rooting with Windows but would appreciate an answer on why all the tools to root Android phones are compatible with Windows only and never Mac. (Sorry, as a mac user it's very frustrating).
Thank You In Advance!

assuming that you're on stock OF1 with OF1 bootloader, there is currently no way to root it, OC1 was a hit or miss with Kingroot, ganna have to wait it out until they found a way

Not the answer I was hoping for but thanks for replying quickly and giving it to me straight. I know I cannot revert to KitKat, but is there not an option for me to revert back to OC1, then root?
Also, what's the best way for me to know when they find a new exploit for OF1? Should I just monitor the news page of xda-developers?
Thanks again
ON Muniz's [How-To] Update to I545_OF1 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot he does have a I545_Downgrade_tC1.tar listed that he stated is untested for OF1 updated via OTA. I belive there were a few people who said they tired, but said they got softbricked.
probably check the fourms once a week or something
I just had my z2 tablet replaced under warranty with my carrier (previous tablet just would no longer turn on)
my old tablet was rooted, the replacement I just received is already running the latest update, i can find info on rooting old versions, nothing for the new one (at least that i understand)
tablet details
Model No. SGP521
android version. 5.1.1
build no. 23.4.A.0.546
any instructions or assistance on this would be hugely appreciated
(please assume i am a complete novice when it comes to this and need thorough explanations for the process, because that is about where my knowledge base stands)
my reason for rooting is that i have an SD card which before i was using to store and run apps from
would like to be able to do that again
thanks
Well first thing you would need to do is flash an older version with flashtool (don't mistake it with Sony flashtool, that's the wrong one)
After you've done that you can root it, install recovery, and update to a newer version using update zip.
All the howto's to do this are already on xda multiple times. Just use the search function.
