Hi,
this is my first post on xda and first Android device well actually it's a present for my daughter. First i'd like to say that you guys doing a great work here! Thank you!
Last couple of days (and nights) I spend reading and reading and reading.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 - now 101 pages! I am not in UK or US or any other country where nabi app shop is working, the only option for me is G play store. So rooting and installing gapps is the way for me. Unfortunately jmztaylor's method not working for me. Not only for me on page 26 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674&page=26) mr_tris reported of having the same problem, but never got a solution for it and I see that MikeDVH (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35985909&postcount=1020) just reported the same issue:
failed to mount data (invalid argument)
-- Could not mount :/sdcard
-- Aborting
Backup failed!
I am getting the same error. There is plenty of free space (3+GB) and 2GB SD card. No apps on tablet, just configured Nabi mode.
The only explanation I can come up with that it's something different in UK model of Nabi2. The model reads: NABI2-NV7A-UK
My Nabi2 came with 1.9.29 and before attempting to root I upgraded to 1.9.37
I am thinking to trying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041224 flash with his supplied stock version 1.9.37, but don't wanna mess something. I can supply any additional information or images needed, but to be honest will need some guidance in doing that as not very familiar with all this flashing thing, but not afraid of CLI
I can not post in that thread, but maybe it will be good to have thread dedicated to UK version of Nabi 2. Any other Nabi2-UK owners having problems/success?

Nabi 2 - UK Root and Gapps Install
After some more tries I finally rooted my nabi2-UK and successfully installed gapps!
Original files and credit go to jmztaylor from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674
New gapps and credit (no "Android Upgrading" message every reboot) go to t499user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35888524 and manual recovery and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016463
I’ve done “semi manual/automatic” if you can say that. So the steps were:
1. From http://junefabrics.com/android/ installed PdaNet for Android to have all proper drivers. My system win 7 64
2. set everything according http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590800
3. ran jmztaylor insatall.bat and selected option 2
4. in the background watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcAIsePNYVE – found some very useful notices – Thanks!
5. followed till the end, with the error: failed to mount data (invalid argument) and -- Could not mount :/sdcard
6. in TWRP selected Backup and done backup to external SD card
7. nabi being still in TWRP on pc opened command prompt and run:
Code:
adb push root.zip /sdcard/root.zip
and
Code:
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/gapps.zip
8. In TWRP selected Install, navigated to /sdcard and selected root.zip after it was installed, the same done for gapps.zip
9. rebooted, run superSU, google play was installed, downloaded root checker – Congratulations! This device has root access!
Rebooted several times – everything ok.
I believe that this can be done in a better way, but this is just my experience and maybe it will help someone.
Sorry if some may sound in proper – English is not my native language
Happy New Year!
THANKYOU

failed to install / invalid argument whilst pushing root and Gapps on Nabi 2
A huge thank you for the 'how to' and files to help me root my nieces Nabi 2! ;0) I successfully rooted and installed Google apps, although I did it differently to the above methods.
(I'm using windows 8 and the Nabi 2 was already on 1.9.37. The device shows as NABI2-NV&A-UK under my computer)
I kept stalling at the point after the files were being pushed to the SD card. I also had the 'invalid argument / failed transfer' message flash up on the Nabi for a split second, and then hanging as the Nabi was disconnected from my laptop, until a reboot was done; but then it was not in developer mode. After going round in circles and reading for about an hour and a half (and watching the helpful video on youtube), and then coming here to see the above post, I tried the command prompt push method but still no joy! When I tried that method the files being pushed would show up on the Nabi screen but they would not install, there was also an error message after each attempt (I cannot remember exactly what it said now, sorry).
Two hours later and still no luck. Then I thought 'what if I did it this way' > ... I rebooted the Nabi 2, with a 2gb SD card in it. I opened 'my computer' and formatted the SD card. I dragged and dropped the Root.zip and Gapps.zip files to the root of SD card. I ran the adb driver app, via the command prompt (which in windows 8 can be accessed by pushing the windows key and X, then choosing 'command prompt' as there's no link for it in accessories) and then I ran the jmzrootpack 'install.bat' file to get the Nabi into developer mode. Then I entered install via the menu and the files were there! I installed the root and gapps files as in the youtube video, rebooted and everything was installed and worked as it should. Job done!
Once again thank you to the developers who made this possible ;0)
Hi All!
Since this is my first tutorial, I am asking xda-developers' seniors' permission to post this.
I managed to root and install ROM on my P780, and I notice that there is no simple tutorial to root or/and install CWM and ROMs, so I thought why don't I do my own simple tutorial, especially for beginners like me?
1. ROOTING
Actually, rooting is simple for this phone. I used Framaroot for my phone. Thanks to Alephzain (search Alephzain framaroot in xda-developers forum). Just download Framaroot 1.6.1 from his tutorial, install it, and follow the instruction. Simple.
2. CWM
I know there's a lot of easy ways out there, but I used Mobileuncle for mine. Open PlayStore, search for Mobileuncle MTK Tools, download, install. You can get many CWM 6.1 img type out there for P780 (sorry I'm denied to post links), put it inside your SDcard. Then, open Mobile uncle, tap Recovery update, find your img file name. To find out there's CWM installed, just reboot to CWM when finished, or press volume up + volume down + power button when phone turned off.
3. ROM
I managed to find many available roms in needrom site. Some use CWM and some use Flashtool. I don't know, but I failed all ROMs that use CWM, so I'll tell you how to use Flash tool.
First, download flashtool and MTK drivers on your PC (I use Windows 7). Then, download your desired ROMs or stock ROM. There are direct links in the needrom site. Just register to see the links.
Install MTK drivers first. Then run Flashtool. click scatter-loading. Find MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in the downloaded ROM folder. Make sure DA DL All With Check Sum box is checked. Click firmware upgrade. Turn off phone. Connect via USB.
Wait until finished. (Green Circle Pop Up Window). Done. Restart phone.
Hope it helps. Press thank if I helped.

That's what I'm saying. It looks like the only long-use device with developer support are the MAXX line of devices from Motorola. But those are all Verizon exclusive, and I'm on T-Mobile here in the US. Also, the older devices use OMAP chips, which have also lost almost all support from everyone.

Help with P780 bootloop
I realize this is long, but I thought it best to be as specific as possible....
A 'little' history:
I'm fairly used to working with Android but would only consider myself an intermediate user. That said, I'm an experienced PC/Linux user and am not afraid of terminals etc. All things considered, I made a pretty lame mistake while tired one evening.
I own a Lenove P780 and rooted it using Framaroot (because I was seriously tired of getting dangerously low on storage due to only 4 gb internal; 8gb not available in Indonesia). However, on this ROM version (P780_ROW_S115) there wasn't an option to install to extsd, so I needed a program to do so. I used Link2sd but needed to repartition my sd card first in order to do continue. I used Aparted to create a 1gb swap file (amazing what this did for my RAM usage), 4gb ext3 install partition and the rest simple storage formatted using FAT32 (it's a 32 gb Sandisk Extreme). Then, I moved almost all of my downloaded apps and a few included apps to the external sd ext3 partition. Sweet, no more space issues.
I then installed a CPU governor, can't remember the name off hand now. Set a number of parameters and found further performance benefits, especially battery usage. Following that, I then installed ROM Manager Lite. Nice tool. Now is the point when I really wanted to make a back up of my ROM, so I attempted to install CWM or TWRP recovery using ROM Manager Lite's update/download section to no avail. I ended up using MobileUncle to do the trick; found out the version of TWRP that many forums stated worked with the P780 (2.5.0.0 if I'm not mistaken), copied it to the root of the extsd card and installed with MobileUncle. All great so far...
Until I went to make a back up. When in the graphical interface of TWRP while ROM running there was the option to back up to internal or external, I ticked external. It then rebooted into the actual recovery UI, however eemc was the only option to back it up to and it stated the external sd had 0MB. I tried this many times and still the same issue; can't make back up and external not recognized. Google to the rescue. Found out that perhaps it could be an issue with improperly formatted storage cards. I had to assume since I have 3 partitions on the card, that it can't read the storage one. In order to test the theory, I was about to buy a new card, format it to FAT32 with that being the only partition on it and attempt a back up. However, before I had the chance to do that, I decided to try a provided Recovery in MobileUncle. I thought I had chosen a ROW version but I obviously hadn't and turns out it was a Chinese one... Man, if only I were a bit more patient (read: not so stupid)...
Anyway, of course you already know the scatterfile ect. is different from ROW and now I'm stuck in bootloop. I've studied my options and am going to use Flashtool but have a question before I do any more damage... He..he..he... Should I simply use the official ROM from Lenovo (I have ROW_s115 and can only find official ROW_s119 online; no OTA updates available prior to this mishap in Indonesia) and only tick the Recovery box in Flashtool, or can I simply load the s119recovery.img, tick the Recovery box and go for it? I assume that it would be better to use the full stock ROM instead of simply using the Recovery.img in Flashtool considering it may need to redo the filesystem as well... Not sure really. What do you think would be best? Also, would the recovery in the stock ROM P780_ROW_s119 be the same as the stock ROM s115?
Any expert (or any) advice would be very appreciated... Thanks in advance!

Is absolutely important!!! If you have Asian version rom on your phone (s135, s125, etotalk, etc), you must have the Asian recovery. If you have a world rom on your phone (s119, s110, etc), you must have the world recovery.
Try this recovery... http://d-h.st/5U4 (in this zip file is both version).
Hi, try this blog about lenovo p780, my be you find answers. http://lenovop780en.blogspot.ro/
Sorry for my english.
my experiences with this device
I will share my experience with this device.
I got it with a VIBEROM_V1.0_1347_3_ST_P780.
gives a good impression, most apps work very fine.
but
root wasn´t possible (see needrom thread, now there seems to a way how to root it)
my external bluetooth keyboard don´t work
that is a nogo - so I flashed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/rom-lenovo-p780-pre-rooted-official-t2553725
S123 worldwide rom --> no external keyborad
chinese rom S135 --> no external keyborad
within this rom there is offered an update to viberom VIBEROM_V1.0_1405
I did so: no multilanguage, no external keyboard
then http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-2/
German ok, but no external keyboard.
--> I sold the device on evbay.
Don´t get me wrong. It a good device, good screen, good touch.
Hi guys. I was checking the forums of emui here in XDA and I saw a guy mentioning (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ing-xposed-t3338765/post66250513#post66250513 ) the HRT team from China (HUAWEI ROM TEAM) is always developing custom roms for HUAWEI devices and found this rom:
http://club.huawei.com/thread-10756653-1-1.html
I used google translate to translate the webpage and it seems to be pretty new and it includes Xposed frameword which for me is super! And also it's based in the latest firmware 130 for our HONOR 5C. If some of you know chinese or how to get proper instructions of how to install the ROM would be great.
Thanks you all! and let's try to get it together!
Hi !
It's possible we have a tutoriel for the installation in english please ?
Thanks !

Hi DarkLink, that is what I'm asking. Someone who knows chinese to have proper isntructions. Cheers
The methods is traditional...
Recovery -> Wipe All -> and flash maybe...
I tried it, its not working at all, got stuck at blank screen after boot logo, unable to reset. End up updating with stock rom using, vol- vol+ power button.
One thing to note is that the chinese huawei glory 5c model is launched with volte and there is no seprate modem update we can flash.
Woooh.. I see.
Well... I think this rom is not flashable now !

Hi All,
Let me share my experience on how I updated my Huawei P9 Plus for Latin America region. Hopefully this will help others to get their phone successfully working on Nougat.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader (there are plenty of articles about how to do this online)
Custom Recovery (TWRP) - Use only the one from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
Data File - Download it from here
Micro SD (4G or bigger)
First off, I followed the instructions from here: http://ministryofsolutions.com/2017/06/huawei-p9-plus-vie-l29-nougat-b361-emui-5-latin-america.html
I know here there are many tutorials on how to do it, but this was the site I used as it had 3 different ways of doing it and it was pretty straight forward. I used the 1st method which required to make the change on HiSuite and Huawei Updater.
The struggle happened when the phone rebooted, the phone got into a C900 version and the ROM itself got installed but many apps were missing and bluetooth was dead. There's a reason for that! The installation is a 2 part process and the files installed are:
update.zip (The basic ROM)
update_data_full_hw_la.zip (Drivers, 3rd party apps, Huawei apps such as notepad, calculator, among others)
Evidently, the 2nd file was not installed, ergo, the ROM was not entirely installed. Let's say that it's like installing Windows 10 with drivers and apps for windows XP!
But... Why did this happen? Well, the answer is simple, Android 7 encrypts the DATA partition, this is where the missing apps are installed and when the update runs, the 2nd file is not installed due to this issue (the partition becomes READ ONLY).
At this point, create a folder on the root of the Micro SD called dload, put the update_data_full_hw_la.zip file there, DO NOT UNZIP IT!
This is the tricky part! I looked for TWRP for this phone and NONE of the vienna versions worked, so, finally, I found the thread mentioned above on this post and installed TWRP for Honor 8. Installation steps can be found on the article.
Finally, I rebooted into recovery (Vol Up + Power button). Recovery works! Now, go to Install in TWRP, change to External Storage (by default, TWRP looks for the internal storage) go to the dload folder and then select the update_data_full_hw_la.zip file, it will start installing the file, it will take a few mintes.
Finally, TWRP will ask you if you want to format cache/dalvik. Do so.
The phone will reboot and the ROM will be fully installed and everything will be working with all apps, settings and everything as you had it on Marshmallow but now... On Nougat!!!
I hope this helps!
UPDATE: I was able to debrick the phone. Read my later post for details.
----------------------
Hi All,
Thank you all for having amazing community of hackers and developers here. You guys rock.
I started my search for a new rugged rootable phone recently and I settled on Poptel P60. It is a great phone though slightly bigger than what I normally get. Nontheless, the specs are excellent and the price is fair!
I've had a limited success rooting and customizing this phone. The OEM interface is almost bearable but overall the "Customized UI" felt like a downgrade from stock Oreo. It has a very annoying feature of reverting to stock launcher on startup, even when I selected Nova as my default one. The stock launcher is not that great. This, and the lack of ability to use x.flux, Titanium Backup and other root-only apps drove me to try hacking things again.
After emailing the manufacturer they provided the firmware but it is in CPB format. I tried at least 3 different converters for CPB to MTK Scatter and they all either freeze or hang. No luck.
Instead I did a rom readback with SPFlashTool and then cut up the partitions with Wwr. Now I've finally had the recovery partition! I used CarlivImageKitchen to port TWRP from a similar device, Ulefone Armor 5. The chipset and resolution are same. After some trial and error it worked! I had to use USB-OTG for input and external sd card had a weird label, but I was able to install Magisk from the SD card to root, followed by XPosed, full package. It worked! If anyone needs my ported TWRP Recovery for Poptel P60 just ask!
However, the manufacturer UI did complain a lot about the phone being rooted. Eventually, somehow, Magisk stop receiving root requests. They never showed up and timed out! Very strange, because apps that already received root continued working. I tried a lot but could not fix the issue. I was fed up. I wanted to do a manufacturer reset (in hopes of starting from scratch and then attempting to port Lineage or something) but, as I've mentioned, I have not received a firmware compatible with SPFlashTool. I tried to make one from Armor 5. The partitions were almost the same (both are MT6763 devices). One was out of order, and offsets were different and I patched all those. To be clear, I used all the partitions and layout extracted from my rom readback that was cut up by Wwr. I only used the Armor 5 scatter as a reference for file format. I edited the layout to match everythign I saw in Wwr.
This is where the horror begins. I tried flashing (Download Only) with SPFlashTool but got some error saying something changed. "Do you want to do Format & Download instead?". Being an inexperienced idiot that I am, I said yes!
Now, the phone appears bricked. No lights. No screen output. Cannot enter fastboot. Cannot enter recovery. Cannot boot.
I have a feeling the preloader got corrupted. I'm not sure this is the case because I've omitted the preloder from download. At least the first time the phone started acting bricked. The device still shows as Mediatek USB VCOM device and flashing gets initiated but all attempts to flash result in errors. MA checksum mistmatch or something along that order. I've tried a lot of things and I'm stuck! For good or for worse I've tried flashing Ulefone Armor 5 preloader but I'm getting the same error when trying to flash it.
Here is what I have...
- Stock firmware in SPB format. I can't use it and nothing I tried worked for converting it.
- ROM dump made with SPFlashTool
- Wwr was able to extract every partition except preloader. This includes nvram, etc. I'm not sure why it was not able to extract the bootloader.
- TWRP port that worked. Seems not useful if the phone does not start.
- Preloader for Ulefone Armor 5, (same chipset and resolution)
Clearly I am an idiot for using "Format & Download" option. I've found posts later suggesting against it. I am also over my head for trying to tackle a new device by myself, though I have had a marginal success with porting TWRP and installing Magisk.
Now, I feel like idiot and I am stuck! I beg you, XDA developers, if you have any advice (besides not being an idiot in the future), please share!
Try bringing it back to the carrier and just say that you don't know why it is broken. Maybe they could help you out.
Say maybe something like you wanted to do a factory reset and now everything is broken.

That wouldn't work, heh. I bought this phone on eBay and rights now it's currently sold by a handful of sites. It is on warranty but returning it back to China would be complicated. At any rate, I live on the edge outside of warranty!
I was just about ready to give up and feel like the biggest reckless loser on Earth... Days of tinkering around with nothing but a phone brick to show for it. Poptel tech support wouldn't provide me with MTK scatter. All they gave me was this SPB firmware that nobody uses and it crashes every converter I threw at it. Useless.... No fastboot. No recovery. No functional bootloader.
The amazing GOOD NEWS is I have debricked the phone... I used a bootloader from another phone's firmware: Cubot_Power_MT6763_180607_8.1.0. Unlike Ulefone Armor 5's preloader this one worked! It seems like it's the only thing I was missing because the phone starts up and everything seems to work. I must have done a good job with all other partitions but I'll try to watch for signs of anything else broken. Right now it seems fine.
I'm not sure if the bootloader was completely gone, corrupted, or an incorrect one was used. All I know is I was able to download Cubot Power's working bootloader (also MT6763) with SPFlashTool. Nothing like a feeling of unbricking your phone!
I will post more updates if that's ok... I'm hoping to port Lineage on it (I've never tried that before) or at least find a way around the manufacturer's clunky UI. The hardware is great otherwise. If anybody wants a working ported TWRP image or the scatter I used for debricking just ask! I will make a post later if I have more success with customizing the phone. The phone is debricked and I have a scatter and images to fall back on if anything goes wrong. Woot! Thank you everyone who developed these great tools.
I have the same phone been looking for info. there's a thread on 4pda with poptel p60 that has the scatter file and firmware. Any chance you could post the twrp for this phone? having trouble trying to port myself cant figure out port 6763 from the guides available.

Hey man! Sorry for a slow reply. Was traveling for a few days.
Here is what I have. I started with a TWRP for Armor 5 (also MT6763) and I ported it for Poptel P60 using one of the guides on the forums. It works but it's not perfect. The touchscreen doesn't work, so you have to use USB OTG. Also, internal and external SD card mounts work but labels are confusing, so please be extra careful if wiping/formatting those. I advise popping the SD card out of the phone if wiping/formatting, just in case.
My experience with the phone is it is not the most friendly for rooting. Poptel's customizations are pesky and get in the way. The launcher keeps resetting to default on startup, even after you specify a different one. If you uninstall/disable the OEM launcher there will be red a label on top right of the screen, saying "Customization" that I have not found a way to get rid of. There are other things too, like I keep losing ability to add superuser permission to new apps... Can't figure out why, but sometimes reinstalling Magisk helps. Be very careful when using Magisk Hide, this can turn off your ability to use SIM cards, at least temporarily until you disable hide and restart. Other things is superuser apps don't always launch on startup. Anyway, I don't want to discourage you too much... Here is my twrp port.

Another thing I discovered is GSI builds work mostly well on the phone... with all except one thing, which is mobile data, which seems broken.. Sadly, that's a deal breaker. OEM software is so pesky... It would be so nice to run a clean Android.
Let me know how it goes.

sorry man, didn't end up using yours theres a twrp on 4pda now with a mod to flash to keep root. I'll upload for you here if you don;t have an account there.
The patch for the Light-kastomizator v.12 factory firmware.
I decided not to bother with the draining and distribution of modified firmware as a whole, easier to apply the patch, and ... you're done!
If that - the factory firmware v.12 lies with us -HERE, no problem you can return everything back, or (if there is something Kolupaev), first ask her, and then patch.

Information for those who are "in the tank" :
When TWRP presence in the smartphone in any case and under no circumstances should you do reset through the system.
Resetting takes place only directly through TWRP (standard cleaning sections)
If you run the command via the android in the first place, it can not be executed because it does not understand the TWRP.
and secondly, you get a constant load in TWRP because it has not yet executed the command android you will always be send to recovery /
Solution for "tank": need to install flow-recovery to be completed through a reset command or cancel it.
Another solution I personally do not know
Just do not forget about gratitude : Jemmini,- for the compilation of the TWRP which served as donorUrree,- order TWRP and testing (nothing would have happened without it)Message edited Lomaster_Serg - 6.1.19, 03:02
