The '''nabi SE''' is an Android-based tablet computer produced by [[Mattel]] under the Fuhu Nabi line. Released in 2016, the SE runs on Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" utilising a [[MediaTek]] [[MT8127]] system-on-chip. Like some of the tablets from their lineup, a number of variants themed after popular children's franchises were also produced, differing only in bundled content, branding and certain exclusive apps e.g. streaming video players with variant-specific content; ROMs used for all nabi SE variants are largely the same and appear to be mutually compatible.

==Tech specs==
*1.3 Ghz MediaTek MT8127 quad-core processor
*ARM Mali 450MP GPU
*1GB RAM
*7" capacitive touch screen with 1024x600 resolution
*16GB ROM (8GB user-accessible, expandable to 32GB with a microSD card)
*[[wikipedia:Android Marshmallow|Android 6.0 Marshmallow]] with [https://web.archive.org/web/20190419215421/https://www.nabitablet.com/apps/blue-morpho-os Blue Morpho UI]
*0.3 MP front camera
*2 MP rear camera (720p video)
*2500mAh rechargeable [[wikipedia:lithium-ion battery|lithium-ion battery]]

Depending on the variant, the tablet may also come bundled with content based on characters from their respective franchises. The American Girl edition for example has videos and games featuring characters from the line, namely ''[[Isabelle Dance Studio]]'', ''[[Grace Sweet Shop]]'', ''[[Maryellen Rocket Rally]]'' and ''[[Scene Sounds]]''. As with most children's tablets, it has parental controls built in and Google Play services.

===Custom recovery images===
*[https://github.com/huckleberrypie/device_quanta_narnia/releases TWRP 3.3.1-1 for Academy Edition (may work on the regular and demo editions)]

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

===Google Apps and root===
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XdXJbFbjQ Install TWRP, Google Play and SuperSU root on your LeapFrog Epic]
*The original MT8127 Epic/LeapPad Academy firmware is vulnerable to the [[wikipedia:Dirty COW|Dirty COW]] exploit where a temporary root shell can be obtained via ADB.
*The Rockchip RK3326 revision LeapPad Academy on the other hand can be rooted by patching the boot image using Magisk; Magisk 34 seems to work best with both the regular and MIPI sub-variants.

===Useful apps===

**[https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.filemanager/ Fossify File Manager]: Useful for accessing files and apps on your Epic; the device lacks a file manager other than a simple gallery, so this is a must-have especially for parents who frequently sideload content on their children's devices.

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

====Custom ROM flashing guide====
A tutorial video on how to flash a GSI ROM (and its associated recovery and boot images) can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeWfLeuF12s here].

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

{{Q|My antics are works of art.|Hermann Fegelein|committing antics}}
SS-Obergruppenführer '''Hans Georg Otto Hermann Fegelein''' (30 October 1906 – 28 April or 29 April 1945) was a General of the Waffen-SS in Nazi Germany, a member of [[Adolf Hitler]]'s entourage, brother-in-law to [[Eva Braun]] through his marriage to her sister, Gretl, and brother-in-law to Adolf Hitler through Hitler's marriage to Eva Braun.

==Background==
Fegelein was born in Ansbach, Bavaria, to the retired Catholic Oberlieutenant Hans Fegelein. As a young boy, he worked at his father's horse riding school in Munich. When it closed due to the worldwide economic depression of the 1920s, he worked as a stable boy for Christian Weber, who was one of the original members of the Nazi Party.

In 1925, after studying for two terms at Munich University, Fegelein joined the Reiterregiment 17 and on 27 April 1927, he joined the Bavarian State Police in Munich as an officer cadet. Whilst in Munich, he came into early contact with National Socialism, joining the Party (membership number 1,200,158) and the SA in 1930. By 1931, Fegelein had transferred to the SS.

In may 1945, Fegelein was executed by Nazi soldiers on Hitler's command.

==Downfall Parody Universe==
In the Hitler parody universe, Fegelein commits insane and hilarious [[antics]] against Hitler as well as others who get in his way. His antics range from mundane acts to the surreal. His ability to commit surreal antics, such as by manipulating space-time, as well as creating his own tools for antics, makes it evident that Fegelein has highly advanced knowledge in chemistry, all forms of engineering, Newtonian physics, and quantum mechanics. Unlike most committers of antics, who acquire their tools from [[antic dealer]]s, Fegelein prefers to make his tools himself. Tools created by Fegelein are given a name that acquire the prefix of "Fegel-". For example, when Fegelein created a bomb to destroy Hitler's bunker, it was called a "Fegel-bomb." MHXDownfall's parodies suggested that Fegelein created "anticological weapons" - which were modified (and enhanced) German weapons of WWII. For example, he has a Fegel-AT; which is an AT gun, derived from a PaK 43, capable of destroying tanks in one shot, no matter how thick their armor. This means that even a main battle tank won't stand a chance! In addition, he has the Fegel-Panzer. Both weapons are mentioned in "Fegelein in Stalingrad".

It was also known that Fegelein had a few other relatives besides Hitler as well as his immediate family; [[KakashiBallZ]]'s ''Democracy Comes to Egypt'' establishes that Hermann had an Egyptian cousin named Abdul, who conspired with him in his attempt to drive Hosni Mubarak out of office. Fegelein also had a younger cousin named Sally Gregory, better known throughout Hollywood as Sally Shine. She appeared in ''The Bunker of Terror'' along with a few of her friends, as she helped her older cousin in sabotaging Hitler's vacation in Los Angeles.

==Antics==
Fegelein was noted for being a class-clown during his early tenure in the SS, much to the chagrin of his superior officers. This was fueled by his disdain for the socially macabre atmosphere of the SS. As a result, Fegelein decided to "lighten up the place." He began to commit antics on his superior officers, normally to comply with a dare posed by his friends, but often to impress and entertain them. One of Fegelein's commanding officers became so tormented by his antics that it drove him to commit suicide. While many would consider this to be a tragedy, Fegelein considered this to be a badge of honor. However, news of the officers suicide caught the attention of the division commander, who then demanded that Fegelein be arrested and jailed. This was considered by Fegelein to be the lowest point of his antics career. Fegelein was sentenced to 10 years of hard labor in the local concentration camp. Incredibly, the sentence was commuted to one month probation. The order was issued by the head of the [[SS]], [[Heinrich Himmler]], who summoned Fegelein to SS headquarters.

Rather than berate Fegelein for what he did, Himmler expressed his admiration for Fegelein's ability to commit antics. At the time, Himmler himself was in a war of antics with none other than the Führer of the Reich, Adolf Hitler. Hitler originally believed that Fegelein would stop Himmler from committing his antics once and for all. He was sadly mistaken. Himmler taught Fegelein all the tricks-of-the-trade on committing antics. While Fegelein himself had talent for antics, Himmler taught him how to do it with finesse.

'''Cole Phelps''' was an American police detective and the main protagonist of ''[[L.A. Noire]]''. Phelps is a former member of the Marine Corps, who later returned from the war as a hero, joining the Los Angeles Police Department. Soon after, he quickly rose through the ranks and became a Detective.

==Biography==
Phelps was born in 1920 to a San Francisco family who ran a shipping company. He attended Stanford University and later went to Officer Candidate School for the [[wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|United States Marine Corps]].

While he was known to be a [[Chuck Norris]] of sorts among his peers in the USMC for his skills in the Pacific Theater, he has been known as the “[[Splinter Cell|Dark Shadow]]” or considered to be “bad luck” whenever someone is under his command during combat.

He was later discharged from service after receiving treatment for his wound at an army hospital. He later returned home to [[Los Angeles]] before the end of the war and joined the LAPD shortly thereafter, rising from the ranks as he proved his potential to his superiors and colleagues.

'''Elizabeth Cole''' (b. 5 November 1765) was [[Felicity Merriman]]'s best friend and fellow antic-doer.

==Personality==
She and her family originally came from Lancashire, England. Elizabeth was shown to be a tad wealthier than Felicity, as evidenced by some of the words and mannerisms that she used. She was in most cases a polar opposite of her best friend - quiet, shy, smart, and careful. Elizabeth is rather petite, which earned her the name "Bitsy" from her older sister; this was a nickname she didn't like, which she later made this known. Elizabeth likes to poke fun at her older sister [[Annabelle Cole|Annabelle]] with Felicity. She is much more practical than Felicity. She also thoughtfully plans things out, rather than jumping into fanciful dreams. Unlike Felicity, Elizabeth has a knack for sewing, as she's more patient, and loves fancy balls and dancing.

===Antics===
Just as stated in the above section, Elizabeth likes to commit [[antics]] at her older sister, ranging from a mundane round of name-calling, to the more extreme, like sprinkling fire ants at her sister's shift and buckle shoes. This further inspired Felicity to pursue a career in the art of merry-making and pranks.

{{Q|I made her even more famous, Pam, deal with it!|Walt Disney on Mary Poppins}}
'''Mary Elizabeth Poppins''', married name '''Mary Alfred''', is an English governess, musician and professional skateboarder.

Poppins became best known for being the subject of a series of novels by [[P. L. Travers]] portraying her as an immortal magical nanny; in reality she was incredibly skilled at [[Pwned|gaslighting children]] and [[AAAAAAAA!|scoffing at them]] upon being confronted, though it is hinted that she is indeed inhuman.

Prior to her career as a nanny, Poppins worked as a secretary in her native London and took up other odd jobs such as a messenger and switchboard operator. She also played as a bassist for various rock, metal and punk bands such as The Cure and The Faction. Poppins also had a notable career in [[skateboarding]] where she nearly beat [[Tony Hawk]] in a vert contest. After taking care of her charges Michael and Jane Banks, Mary underwent [[Photoshop|plastic surgery]] due to complaints by [[Julie Andrews]] saying she "looked too much like her" and later went on to take care of Michael's children following the death of his wife.

==Trivia==
* She likes rum punch, even inventing a nigh-deadly cocktail called lean.
* Poppins speaks fluent English, French, Kotlin and x86 assembly.
* She is the only person known to beat Chuck Norris in a staring contest.

'''Benson''' is a ventriloquist dummy who happens to look a lot like [[Slappy]] from ''Goosebumps''. Except he is indeed Slappy's bastard cousin, hired by [[Pixar]] with reckless disregard for copyright despite its parent company being overzealous about it.

Benson and his near-identical peers exist for ''[[Imbecile|absolutely no reason]]'', apart from being a pack of subservient enforcers for local crime boss [[Gabby Gabby|Gabrielle "Big Gabby" Vespucci]], who ran a protection racket using an antique store as a front for their illegal operations. Gabby appears to be rather confused about his name, occasionally calling him Binson or Vincent especially when his employer is drunk. He once tried starting a union inside the antique store, but none of its denizens expressed interest. He also moonlighted as a rally driver under the pseudonym "[[Ken Block]]".

Prior to his career as a dummy, Benson had served as a shinobi bodyguard for some kid named Kuro, who for some reason possessed [[Warez|immortality]]. Years of mercilessly slaughtering low-rent clowns and feudal lords have taken a toll on Benson, hence why he eventually went back to the Tri-County area in search of work opportunities.

==Trivia==
*He was awarded "Sexiest Man of the Year" by ''Sports Illustrated'', beating both Woody and [[Darth Vader]].
*He is not related to Slappy in any way.
*Contrary to popular belief, he does not like jazz.
*Is known to smoke the finest catnip in all of New Jersey.
*Is known to have a fierce rivalry with [[Mrs. Nesbitt]].

{{q|Problem, officer?|Vito Scaletta|the police force}}
'''Vittorio Antonio "Vito" Scaletta''' (born May 2nd, 1925) was an Italian-American [[gangster]] in the Empire Bay [[underworld]] who became a made member of the [[Captain Falcon|Falcone]] crime family.

Born in San Martino, Sicily into a very poor family, Vito longed for a better life for him and his relatives, and because of this he decided to live a life of crime along with his best friend [[Joe Barbaro]], a bully whom he met at school. They were thick as thieves, both literally and figuratively, as they trusted each other in every [[antic]] that they commit.

In 1943 Vito and Joe attempted to rob a jewelry store, only to be caught in the act by a police officer. The two ran away, but, while Joe escaped, Vito was caught. As Vito was of [[Sicily|Sicilian]] descent and had an obvious understanding of Italian, he was given the choice of serving the Army in its campaign to liberate [[Italy]]. He was then drafted into the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment that served in the liberation of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky.

Vito soon found out that his dad [[alcoholism|fucked up]] and had an [[Xbox]]-huge debt to a [[loan shark]], and he was soon forced to earn money by any means possible, even if it meant that he had to work with the mob.

==Personality==
Vito was, in most ways, a man of few words, and was the polar opposite of his friend Joe, who was a bit more brash and careless. While he does show no remorse at killing people, he holds up to his principles and ideals, and shows some sympathy to his friends and colleagues, even if it led him to [[a series of unfortunate events]] that cost the lives of some of his buddies and led himself to jail.

}}

'''Margaret Mildred Kittredge''' (b. May 19th, 1923), otherwise known as '''Kit Kittredge''', was an American amateur journalist and author, and the protagonist of the ''Kit Kittredge: An American Girl'' book series.

==Personality==
Kit was named after her mother and an aunt on her father's side, most likely Aunt Millie. She was known to be on the tomboyish side of things, unlike her friend Ruthie Smithens. She enjoys baseball, and her favorite player is Ernie Lombardi, the catcher for the Cincinnati Reds. She sees herself as a journalist and a factual writer, as she was often writing along with her friends for a small newsletter that they made up.

Kit hates change, and doesn't feel like wanting to be [[imbecile|spoon-fed]] by charities, instead preferring to learn how to catch the big fish herself, which spurs her fascination with the spunky, independent pilot Amelia Earhart. She can be incessantly proud at times, but eventually she learns to swallow it, and tackle her problems with thrift and cleverness. She loves country life, and the great outdoors.

==Downfall parody universe==
Kit first appeared in ''Hitler Encounters a Goebbels Impersonator'', where a friend of hers tried to make a [[Goebbels]] impression in front of her. She made her first bunker appearance in ''Gunsche encounters a visitor at the Bunker'', where in she tries to pay a visit and eventually meets up with [[Otto Günsche]], who asked as to how did she manage to get in.

While she isn't that of a career prankster, as she prefers to be on the reporting side of things than being on the headlines herself, she learned in the bunker that she was also good at [[ranting]], perhaps even better and straight-to-the-point compared to [[Burgdorf]], despite not being able to rant as fast as the general.

It was also mentioned (and implied) by Burgdorf that Kit's bobbed hair [[w:c:americangirl:Rewigging|is actually a wig]], a nod to the real-life [[American Girl]] dolls in which the hair isn't hard-rooted and are glued to the head, and to Abigail Breslin who had to wear a blond wig for her role, being that she has darker hair than her character (although dying it can also be an option). Burgdorf also sarcastically commented that it was [[Jodl]] who deserved to wear Kit's headpiece.

Kittredge was also one of the key people behind the ''Occupy The Führerbunker'' movement, wherein she asked several female Red Army soldiers to occupy the bunker.

She was also seen in [[HitchcockJohn]]'s ''Hitler Explores Space''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBa0EpTbIsQ Hitler Explores Space]</ref> - while Hitler decided to start his own space program and "go bold where no Aryan has gone before", it was revealed that Kittredge and [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] came up with their own and launched themselves into space.

Her treehouse at Cincinnati, Ohio used to serve as her headquarters, but she now usually works at the [[Führerbunker]] ever since she took over control of the [[Third Reich|Reich]]. It is still yet to be known if she will come up with her own parody crew like what [[Joseph Stalin]], [[Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock]], and [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] did in their respective regimes.

==Resources==
===OTA update ZIPs===
The following files are incremental updates used to update an existing system to the latest build. No known official scatter or flashable ZIP files for a full system image exist; however a signed system ROM is available below.
====Regular====
Latest version: "KOT49H.user.1.11.1403.20240801.234906"
*[http://lfcdownload.leapfrog.com/epic/en/NarniaSystemUpdateVersions1.json JSON index for FOTA updates]

====Academy Edition====
Latest version: "KOT49H.user.1.10.1404.20240802.013354"
*[http://lfcdownload.leapfrog.com/epic/en/NarniaSystemUpdateVersions_epic2.json FOTA JSON index for Academy Edition]

====LeapPad Academy====
Latest version: "KOT49H.user.1.5.1404.20240802.091746"/"KOT49H.user.1.6.1403.20240801.215621" (for certain variants?)
*[http://lfcdownload.leapfrog.com/epic/en/NarniaSystemUpdateVersions_epic3.json FOTA JSON index for LeapPad Academy]

====LeapPad Academy (second-generation)====
Latest version: "EPIC4.user.1.7.3850.507301425" (regular)/"EPIC4.user.2.6.3828.508261209" (MIPI)
*[http://lfcdownload.leapfrog.com/epic/en/NarniaSystemUpdateVersions_epic4.json FOTA JSON index for LeapPad Academy (second-generation)]

===Custom recovery images===
*[https://github.com/huckleberrypie/device_quanta_narnia/releases TWRP 3.3.1-1 for Academy Edition (may work on the regular and demo editions)]

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

====Epic Academy Edition====
* [https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117902657 v1.1.95]
* [https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117908682 v1.8.160]
* [https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261819358 v1.8.804]

====LeapPad Academy====
* [https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261738402 v1.1.171]

====LeapPad Academy (second-generation)====
* [https://archive.org/details/leapfrog-epicv4-firmware Internet Archive page]
* [https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9180008750105244111 EPIC4.user.1.7.2109.312280833] ([https://drive.google.com/file/d/13TB0eCUFWSyyq5E0nM4RVBH9hpMxQ2XI/view Google Drive mirror])

===Demo to retail conversion===
See [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/05/may-i-interest-you-in-yet-another.html this blog post] for details.

===Google Apps and root===
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XdXJbFbjQ Install TWRP, Google Play and SuperSU root on your LeapFrog Epic]
*The original MT8127 Epic/LeapPad Academy firmware is vulnerable to the [[wikipedia:Dirty COW|Dirty COW]] exploit where a temporary root shell can be obtained via ADB.
*The Rockchip RK3326 revision LeapPad Academy on the other hand can be rooted by patching the boot image using Magisk; Magisk 34 seems to work best with both the regular and MIPI sub-variants.

===Useful apps===
*[http://f-droid.org F-Droid]: FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) app store
**[https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.filemanager/ Fossify File Manager]: Useful for accessing files and apps on your Epic; the device lacks a file manager other than a simple gallery, so this is a must-have especially for parents who frequently sideload content on their children's devices.
**[https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher Activity Launcher]: There's more to it than what's on your home screen. ;)
**[https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=newpipe&fdid=org.schabi.newpipe NewPipe]: Not as polished as the official YouTube client, but hey, 'tis better than nothing, right?
**[https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=%2Fr%2Fandroid&fdid=subreddit.android.appstore /r/Android App store]: Yet another Google Play Store alternative
**[https://f-droid.org/app/org.strawberryforum.pollywog Pollywog]: A small control panel for the Epic which I aim to be an all-in-one utility some day.
*[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gundhus.DeveloperOptions Developer Options]: LeapFrog locked out access to the hidden developer options by default; this allows access to ADB mode amongst other things with just one click. Make sure to hide it from your child's home screen though.
*[http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/how-patch-android-apps-depending-google-maps-google-play-services-914930/ Play Services Patcher]: Is your son or daughter begging you to install YouTube (Kids) on their Epic? Just patch [http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-kids/youtube-kids-2-07-2-release/youtube-kids-2-07-2-9-android-apk-download/ the YT Kids client] using the tool, sideload it, and enjoy.
*[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ROPROP.recentapps_button&hl=en Recent Apps Button]: Another day, another dummied out feature waiting to be re-enabled. :p
*[http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer Xposed Installer] is also a must-have when rooted, as it allows you to do all sorts of neat stuff like restoring lost functionality as described [https://www.strawberryforum.org/board/thread-611.html here].

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

'''Adolf Hitler''' (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (German: ''Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei'', abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known as the [[Nazi Party]]. He was Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and, after 1934, also head of state as Führer und Reichskanzler, ruling the country as an absolute dictator.

His misanthrophy and unabashed hatred made him an infamous figure, hated by many except perhaps those who are radicalised into idiotic ideologies. Parodies of the film [[Downfall]] often depict him in a comical or awkward manner - a running gag was that he had a fierce rivalry with [[Hermann Fegelein]], who often subjected the fuhrer to various comical and often hilarious [[antics]].

Huck's Wiki:Donations

2026-01-11T10:47:26Z

Huck:

[[File:Spartandonation.jpeg|thumb|300px|right|We need funds for the site. Srsly.]]

If you are reading this wiki, then chances are, you are probably a fan, follower, or arch nemesis of [[Count Olaf]] or [[Leonidas]] of [[Sparta]]. Since you are so interested in Count Olaf and King Leonidas, you may or may not be aware that they are in need of funds to continue their adventures and conquests. In their desperate need for funds, they have written two personal appeals, which I will attach below for the reader's convenience.

==Personal Appeal of Count Olaf==
Hello, my fans and followers! I am sure that you have seen all me in all of my roles, including my most recent appearance in The Marvelous Marriage. Some of my nemeses have launched an intricate plot to steal my well-deserved money from me so that I may no longer carry out my profession as an actor. These plots vary, but they tend to include a writer under the pseudonym of Lemony Snicket, who takes great fancy in spinning yarns about how I disguise myself as various colorful characters in an attempt to steal a fortune from the Baudelaire orphans. I can assure you, reader, that this story is entirely false, save for the part detailing my financial disabilities. You have, undoubtedly, read about the state of my home, and I am sorry to say these descriptions are, indeed, true. Thus, I ask you, dear reader, to contribute a small donation so that I may continue out my profession as an actor buying <s>disguises</s> costumes for my various roles. Thank you for your consideration on this manner, and I hope that you will donate so that you can see me in my next role, [[Sally Gregory]] in the theater version of ''[[Tower of Terror]]''.

''- Your good friend Count Olaf''

==Personal Appeal of King Leonidas==
When you saw that donation banner, you probably thought to yourself, "This is madness!". However, I can assure you that this is NOT madness, but [[Sparta|SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]! If you do not surrender your money to me, I shall have you kicked in the chest so that you conveniently fall into the Pit of DOOM. And no, you don't get to play ''[[Doom]]'' when you fall through the pit. Instead, you fall forever, without food, water, entertainment, or strippers/Sally Shine. You shall die of starvation, thirst, boredom, or lack of youthful actresses/strippers with blonde curls. Now, I am certain that you are saying "No man threatens a citizen of the [[internet]]!", but you have exploited this site, sucking up its bandwidth, as well as taunted me with your comments on the so called internet meme featuring me. No, I have chosen my words carefully. Henceforth, I hereby DEMAND that you provide funds to maintain this site, provide strippers for me, and provide funds for Sparta's war with Persia.

Huck's Wiki:Donations

2026-01-11T10:47:04Z

Huck:

[[File:Spartandonation.jpeg|thumb|300px|right|We need funds for the site. Srsly.]]

If you are reading this wiki, then chances are, you are probably a fan, follower, or arch nemesis of [[Count Olaf]] or [[Leonidas]] of [[Sparta]]. Since you are so interested in Count Olaf and King Leonidas, you may or may not be aware that they are in need of funds to continue their adventures and conquests. In their desperate need for funds, they have written two personal appeals, which I will attach below for the reader's convenience.

==Personal Appeal of Count Olaf==
Hello, my fans and followers! I am sure that you have seen all me in all of my roles, including my most recent appearance in The Marvelous Marriage. Some of my nemeses have launched an intricate plot to steal my well-deserved money from me so that I may no longer carry out my profession as an actor. These plots vary, but they tend to include a writer under the pseudonym of Lemony Snicket, who takes great fancy in spinning yarns about how I disguise myself as various colorful characters in an attempt to steal a fortune from the Baudelaire orphans. I can assure you, reader, that this story is entirely false, save for the part detailing my financial disabilities. You have, undoubtedly, read about the state of my home, and I am sorry to say these descriptions are, indeed, true. Thus, I ask you, dear reader, to contribute a small donation so that I may continue out my profession as an actor buying <s>disguises</s> costumes for my various roles. Thank you for your consideration on this manner, and I hope that you will donate so that you can see me in my next role, [[Sally Gregory]] in the theater version of ''[[Tower of Terror]]''.

''- Your good friend Count Olaf''

==Personal Appeal of King Leonidas==
When you saw that donation banner, you probably thought to yourself, "This is madness!". However, I can assure you that this is NOT madness, but [[Sparta|SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]]! If you do not surrender your money to me, I shall have you kicked in the chest so that you conveniently fall into the Pit of DOOM. And no, you don't get to play [[Doom]] when you fall through the pit. Instead, you fall forever, without food, water, entertainment, or strippers/Sally Shine. You shall die of starvation, thirst, boredom, or lack of youthful actresses/strippers with blonde curls. Now, I am certain that you are saying "No man threatens a citizen of the [[internet]]!", but you have exploited this site, sucking up its bandwidth, as well as taunted me with your comments on the so called internet meme featuring me. No, I have chosen my words carefully. Henceforth, I hereby DEMAND that you provide funds to maintain this site, provide strippers for me, and provide funds for Sparta's war with Persia. Our army has no need for food, for tonight we dine IN HELL!

'''Harry James Potter''' (born 31 July 1981), otherwise known by [[Muggle]]s and [[Wizard]]s alike as '''Harry Potter''', is an English wizard and the titular protagonist of the ''Harry Potter'' book series by [[Imbecile|JK Rowling]]. The story revolved around his life as an [[orphan]] who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. Harry also discovers that he's already (in)famous throughout the wizarding world, and that his fate was tied with [[Lord Voldemort]], a [[Alfred Jodl|bald]], noseless wizard who killed Harry's parents.

Flashing a Galaxy 5

2026-01-11T10:42:55Z

Huck:

So, you bricked, [[wasted|shit-pasted]] or [[fuck|did something wrong with your phone]], and now it's stuck in a boot loop or something like that. If you can still boot your phone in recovery mode (volume down + OK/center key + power) then you're still in luck. Here's what I did:

*You'll need a firmware image for your Galaxy 5 first. Depending on where you got the phone (Asia, Europe, whatever) you'll be getting a package that's specific for your phone variant. A list with links to known vanilla firmware files for the Galaxy 5 can be found [https://firmwarecafe.neocities.org/samsung here]. Samfirmware also has links to other variants, although you may have to register in order to gain access.

I'll be posting links to other variants just in case.

*Install Samsung Kies. We won't be needing the suite itself, but the drivers that came with it will be needed. Don't even ask me where to get that thing.
*Now download the Odin flasher tool here: http://www.4shared.com/file/J-WSCJSX/odin_v428_and_ops_file.html
*Fire up Odin as admin, and then click on the OPS button. You'll be asked for the .ops file. In our case, this will be EUROPA_I5508_v1.0.ops.
*Depending on the model you'll be needing the BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC and EFS files. If you found those in the firmware image files that you downloaded for your model, then it should be like the following:
BOOT tab: I5500XXXXX_BOOTLOADER.tar.md5
PHONE tab: I5500XXXXX_amss_phone_CL462398.tar.md5
PDA tab: I5500XXXXX_PDA_CL500331.tar.md5
CSC tab: I5500XXXXX_CSC_SER_CL498242.tar.md5

If you ended up with a single .tar file upon unzipping the image that you downloaded in step 1, don't worry about the other files, just tick the One Package checkbox, and then click on the One Package button. Find the tar file that you extracted, e.g. I5503DXJP8-I5503DXJP7-I5503OLBJP7_HOME.tar, and then click on Open.

*Now here comes the fun part: press the volume down, OK/center key and power buttons at the same time until your device shows a yellow sign with the words "Downloading..." on it. Plug the phone into your PC, and let the rig detect the thing. If you get a successful device installation, it should say that Odin/Mobile Modem and Samsung Composite Device has been installed successfully. You should end up with the Odin flasher tool showing a COM port or something on the COM port mapping box. If it does then you're good to go. Click Start, take a little break, and try to observe if your tomfoolery bore some fruit.

If your device reboots back to your home screen, then congratulations! I'm not sure about the other models, but for anyone with an i5500, then I'm sure this might do wonders for you.

Huck: /* Tech specs */

[[File:Nabi SE.jpeg|350px|right]]
The '''nabi SE''' is an Android-based tablet computer produced by [[Mattel]] under the Fuhu Nabi line. Released in 2016, the SE runs on Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" utilising a [[MediaTek]] [[MT8127]] system-on-chip. Like some of the tablets from their lineup, a number of variants themed after popular children's franchises were also produced, differing only in bundled content, branding and certain exclusive apps e.g. streaming video players with variant-specific content; ROMs used for all nabi SE variants are largely the same and appear to be mutually compatible.

==Tech specs==

*2500mAh rechargeable [[wikipedia:lithium-ion battery|lithium-ion battery]]

Depending on the variant, the tablet may also come bundled with content based on characters from their respective franchises. The American Girl edition for example has videos and games featuring characters from the line, namely ''[[Isabelle Dance Studio]]'', ''[[Grace Sweet Shop]]'', ''[[Maryellen Rocket Rally]]'' and ''[[Scene Sounds]]''. As with most children's tablets, it has parental controls built in and Google Play services.

Flashing a Lenovo A369i

2026-01-11T10:34:51Z

Huck:

[[File:MTK Flash Tool.png|thumb|320px|Screenshot of the MTK Smartphone Flash Tool. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.]]
'''Alternate title:''' ''Flashing a [[Mediatek]] MT6xxx device and not trying to suck at it.''

OK, I know [http://lenovo369i.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-update.html this ain't my original guide], but I decided to just share this one for those who would like to flash their [[Lenovo]] back to stock firmware, either due to messing the system up, or if you feel like braving the river and install the latest (but not necessarily the greatest).

Now let's begin, shall we?

*First off you should back whatever data you have on your device - contacts, messages, media, etc. MyBackup Pro's an excellent tool for migrating/copying user data, and you can get a free version of it at Google Play.

*Firmware files for the A369i can be downloaded [https://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-a369i here].

*Now when you're ready, take off the battery, as we need to install the Preloader driver. This can be found at Driver - USB VCOM Driver(download tool). There are three subfolders with .inf files in it, namely for Windows 2000/XP, Vista, and 7. Fire up Device Manager and expand the COM ports item. Plug in your device, and you should see a preloader device on a certain COM port (COM3 or whatever). Now be quick on this one, kids - right-click on the device, and then press Update Driver. Point it to where you saved the VCOM drivers (protip: copy the appropriate files to your desktop and then tell Windows to look from there). If done correctly the preloader should load up fine.

*Next, open the Flash Tool (''Lenovo A369i_Software Upgrate Tool'' [sic]). You will be greeted with a window similar to the one above. Click on ''Scatter Loading'', go to target_bin, and then choose MT6572_Android_scatter.txt. A bunch of stuff should populate the list in the middle of the screen.

*Unplug your device (yep, just do it), tick on ''DA DL All With Check'', and then click on ''Firmware Upgrade''. Wait until the pink progress bars finish whizzing by, and after that plug in your device without the battery. Flashing should now commence by then, so take some tea or read a book for a while.

*Once the flashing is complete you may now unplug your device and put on the battery. Fire your phone back up, wait a few minutes and it should be fine by then!

*You may now proceed with either (a. rooting the device, or b. restoring stuff you backed up using MyBackup).

==Other notes==
The following procedure should also be the same with most MediaTek Android devices, but may differ depending on the model. As a matter of fact you may not even need to take off the battery in some cases. In some devices you may either need to press a reset button (e.g. on Goophones or similar) or the volume up key.

==Disclaimers==
Do this '''AT YOUR OWN RISK'''! If you don't know what you're doing, I'd say you better be leaving this to someone who knows such stuff better. Another important note is that you should never ever ever mess with the preloader - flashing the wrong preloader binary '''CAN and WILL''' render your phone unusable.

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

===Google Apps and root===

*The original MT8127 Epic/LeapPad Academy firmware is vulnerable to the [[wikipedia:Dirty COW|Dirty COW]] exploit where a temporary root shell can be obtained via ADB.
*The Rockchip RK3326 revision LeapPad Academy on the other hand can be rooted by patching the boot image using Magisk, but doing so breaks wireless functionality at least with the latest version. Ditto with the MT8127 version, but in that case the real-time clock seems to be a little sketchy with Magisk enabled, not to mention that they may no longer have support for early Android versions at the time of this writing.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

===Rockchip hardware revision (EPICv4; 2021)===
LeapFrog also [https://fccid.io/G2R-6022 quietly released a hardware revision] of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete.

VTech more or less nerfed the device by disabling features such as ADB and development settings, though USB debugging can be restored by temporarily rooting the device by patching boot.img with Magisk and editing the ADB setting using a settings database editor such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en&gl=US SetEdit]. Bizarrely enough they also dropped Bluetooth, replacing the wireless module with an obscure AltoBeam ATBM6011 wireless LAN controller.

Ripping the firmware also used to be a challenge due to the uboot binary coded with a deterrent which corrupts the dumped images past a certain point. To be fair this is hardly even unique to LeapFrog as the implementation by Rockchip themselves [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/1b01cf5590f8d0b2270ffff5a656e38c5e3930ee/cmd/rockusb.c#L28 has this] until the [https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/u-boot-rockchip/-/blob/6336d2324985831ed766031f91d410d0e587dbc8/cmd/rockusb.c latest commit]. However, an update to RedScorpio's [https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-imgrepackerrk-rockchips-firmware-images-unpacker-packer.2257331/post-89464941 imgRePackerRK] tool now made it possible to patch the stock uboot and enable firmware dumping.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

{{q|They're pretty much known for kicking us out of our career after years of milking the hell out of us.|[[Felicity Merriman]]|her employers}}
{{q|You got it right, sister.|[[Sam Parkington]]}}

'''American Girl''' is an American line of dolls, books, and accessories based on child characters from ages nine to fourteen that originally focused on various periods of American history from the viewpoint of girls and has now expanded to include dolls of and stories about contemporary children. The company was founded in 1986 by Pleasant Rowland, and its products were originally purchasable by mail order only. In 1998, Pleasant Company became a subsidiary of [[Mattel]]. The company has been awarded the Oppenheimer Toy Award eight times.

The original dolls were based on 18-inch dolls made by Götz in [[Germany]] during the late 1980s to the 1990s. Pleasant Rowland initially bought the remaining stock of Romina dolls from Götz in 1985-86, to be rebadged and marketed as [[Samantha Parkington]], complete with books and various accessories. Around that time the company also released two other characters - Kirsten Larson and Molly McIntire, and in the 1990s American Girl introduced several other dolls from various time periods such as [[Felicity Merriman]], Addy Walker, and Josefina Montoya, along with a line of dolls representing the modern era.

==Characters==
The AG line is known for its myriad of characters from different time periods in America, from the 1760s to the 1970s. The main historical characters currently consist of:

* '''Kaya'aton'my''' aka '''Kaya''' (1764): A Nez Perce Native American kid living in the Southwest; she loves to swim everyday and has a cool horse.
* '''[[Felicity Merriman]]''' (1774): Colonial tomboy from Williamsburg, Virginia. Known by her friends as a spunky, active little princess who's fed up with all the stuff that young ladies are supposed to do (or are they?). Also has a horse, and is pretty much known to be a staple of [[lulz]] among fans of the series, as she was often paired with fellow colonist [[Benjamin Davidson]].
* '''Caroline Abbott''' (1812): A shipbuilder's daughter from Sackets Harbor, New York, caught up along with her family during the War of 1812, even going so far as to seeing her dad [[Fuck|end up getting impressed by the British]]. Retired from the line in 2014 shortly after the BeForever reboot.
* '''Josefina Montoya''' (1824): daughter of a rancher in Mexican-controlled Southwest. Her mama just died before the start of her series, but she got over it when her aunt came in.
* '''Cécile Rey''' and '''Marie-Grace Gardner''' (1853): Two completely different girls hailing from New Orleans - a [[France|French]]-speaking [[gangsta|African-American]] and a white kid, growing up during the time where black people are generally underappreciated.
* '''Kirsten Larson''' (1854): One of the OGs in the series, she was an immigrant from Sweden who came to Minnesota during the Pioneer days. She was rumoured to have [[Wasted|died of dysentery]] in 2009, although it was later confirmed that she was to be [[Permaban|retired]] from the roster in 2010.
* '''Addy Walker''' (1864): The first [[African-American]] doll; she first started off as a slave in North Carolina, then escapes to Philadelphia during the [[Civil War]].
* '''[[Samantha Parkington]]''' (1904): One of the OGs in the series, she was also pulled out in 2009, but was re-released with the launch of the BeForever reboot in 2014. She's an orphan who lives with her rather conservative Grandmary during the <s>Victorian</s> Edwardian era. She likes progress, new inventions, and is interested in the changes that was happening in the early 1900s. She also has her own [[internet meme]] together with [[Dwayne Johnson]].
* '''Rebecca Rubin''' (1914): (Russian: Рэбэка Рубин) A Jewish immigrant living in [[Liberty City|New York]], Becky has a passion for acting, and is aspiring to be one, much to the chagrin of her parents.
* '''Claudie Wells''' (1922): An African-American girl (the fourth) inspired by the art and artists of the Harlem Renaissance who desires to know how to better express herself, and when she learns that her boarding house is in danger of being lost, Claudie travels with her mother and learns about her family's history during the Great Migration along the way.
* '''[[Kit Kittredge|Margaret Mildred "Kit" Kittredge]]''' (1934): A shrewd and resourceful kid from Cincinnati, Ohio, with a knack for journalism. Her dad had a car dealership back in the early Thirties, but [[a series of unfortunate events]] forced them to close it down in order to make ends meet.
* '''Nanea Mitchell''' (1941): Released in 2017 and the second BeForever-exclusive character, Nanea lives in Hawaii when the Pearl Harbor attack took place. The war severely affected her life as she and her friends are caught up in the conflict and her books start just before the bombing.
* '''[[Molly McIntire]]''' (1944): The last of the original three gangstas; she lives in Illinois during [[World War II]], while her father is serving in bomb-plagued [[England]] as an army doctor. Her stories center on changes that they had to deal with during the days when most of [[America]] is busy committing [[antics]] on [[Hitler]] during the war. Axed from the line in 2013, despite protests from those who felt that Mattel's [[imbecile|doing it wrong]] with history.
* '''Maryellen Larkin''' (1954): The first character to be released after the BeForever reboot, hailing from Daytona Beach, Florida. A polio survivor (thus making her the first character to have a disability, though it isn't explicitly shown in her doll) and the middle child in a large family, she tries to make herself heard.
* '''Julie Albright''' (1974): Lives in San Francisco in The Seventies. She learns how to deal with the changes her parents' divorce caused to her life while navigating social upheavals like second-wave feminism, the environmentalist movement, and the changing rights of racial minorities (explored through her relationship with her Chinese best friend).
* '''Courtney Moore''' (1986): Hailing from Orange Valley, California, Courtney is into video games such as Pac-Man and STEM subjects. Has two best friends whom she hangs out with at the local video game arcade, and dreams about a video game character whose name is "Crystal Starshooter".
* '''Isabel''' and '''Nicki Hoffman''' (1999): Based in Seattle during the turn of the millennium, Isabel and Nicki are American Girl's first twin historicals and the second duo in the roster overall (not counting Best Friends). The Hoffmans live in an interfaith Judeo-Christian family where they celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah, and the twins are a study in contrasts, with Isabel being the girlier of the two and Nicki being the grunge-loving tomboyish skateboarder. Together they face the new millennium with both excitement and worry as the so-called Y2K Bug looms.

===Custom recovery images===
*[https://github.com/huckleberrypie/device_quanta_narnia/releases TWRP 3.3.1-1 for Academy Edition (may work on the regular and demo editions)]

===Sideloading APKs===
A guide for enabling Unknown Sources can be found [http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/support/products/leapfrog-epic/sideloading here]. Note that you need to update your Epic to a later build to be able to access the App Center settings directly from the Parents menu.

There are two ways to install APKs, one through downloading stuff off the Browser, and the more advanced method being ADB.

For the latter, you'll need to download the latest [https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/ ADB and Fastboot binaries], install the necessary drivers, and enable USB debugging. You can access developer options using this [https://huckleberrypie57.blogspot.com/2017/02/leapfrog-epic-part-1-hidden-lock-screen.html guide I wrote], but instead of tapping on Unlock selection, look for the Developer options menu item and tap it, then tick USB debugging to enable ADB mode.

Now plug your Epic to a computer, then using a command prompt, run the following command:

<tt>adb devices</tt>

You should get an authorisation screen, and make sure to tick the checkbox so it would be authorised the next time you plug your device in. The command prompt should also display something along the lines of this:

<tt>1111111111111111 device</tt>

Once that's done, you may now install APKs using this method. To do so, key in the following:

<tt>adb install foobar.apk</tt>

where foobar.apk could be any APK file you have lying around. If done correctly, it should show up on the application menu.

===Signed ROM backups===
If you're getting a signature error upon flashing, try unticking SEC_RO and then try again. You might also want to flash the whole package in case you get a boot logo loop especially after flashing a TWRP recovery image.

In case of a brick, it is possible to unbrick the LeapPad by forcing it to run in MASKROM mode through shorting two conveniently-located test points on the logic board just beside the eMMC chip, though it may also be rather fiddly to pull off; a small reset switch may be soldered onto the testpoints like those generic TV boxes running off similar Rockchip hardware.

It is also (theoretically) possible to boot from an SD card with a firmware image flashed onto it. Performance with such a setup would be unsurprisingly bad compared to a ROM flashed into internal storage, but it should be fine for testing if the firmware dump works fine or for recovering from a bricked tablet. However, a method to convert a ROM to SD card use is still yet to be devised.

As the second-gen LeapPad Academy supports Project Treble, generic system images (GSIs) are bootable even up to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWrepWibbtc Android 14], though performance and battery life ''will'' suffer with it; earlier versions such as 10 and 11 should run with fewer issues.

There are also two sub-variants of the EPICv4, with internal and firmware differences that are subtle on the surface but are still enough that firmware for each other isn't cross-compatible. Firmware for the non-MIPI variant bear the <tt>EPIC4.user.1.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> build number, while those on the MIPI variant use <tt>EPIC4.user.2.x.xxxx.xxxxxxxxx</tt> builds. Apparently the display module and driver on the MIPI version is different compared to the non-MIPI units as round objects appear more elongated on the latter due to the display using non-square pixels to force a "16:9" ratio, similar to countless discount Android tablets.

Starting with version <tt>1.7.3850</tt> (<tt>2.6.3828</tt> on MIPI variants), LeapFrog blocked access to APK sideloading ostensibly on security grounds, though this might be so parents are forced to buy apps off the official app store, never mind the fact that the ones there are extortionately expensive anyway. As of the time of this writing, downgrading to the previous version using RKDevTool then blocking access to the OTA server is a feasible workaround.

==Misc. notes==
[[File:Epic DiSA lock.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Trust me, I bought this thing.]]
*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means; circumventing it may present legal challenges as it may be used to fence stolen goods, but as of {{CURRENTYEAR}} the Get Your Code site is no longer functional (i.e. it now redirects to a parking page, likely indicating that the company behind DISA folded) without even offering an avenue to unlock affected devices, so it may be fair game to activate DISA-locked tablets through unconventional means (assuming they weren't shoplifted, that is).
*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client. They video may play for a moment, but will eventually glitch out and/or outright stop with an error. No fix has been made by LeapFrog yet as of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, much to the dismay of irate parents who took to Facebook and expressed their dismay over VTech/LeapFrog's handling of the bug. A workaround would be to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpUgI8ZSkP4 flash the signed Academy Edition 1.1.95 ROM] using SP Flash Tool.

{{Q|What on earth have you done to Mr. Hitler?|Felicity's mum|her daughter}}
{{Q|I don't know, Mother, I did it, you know, 'for the lulz'.|Felicity Merriman}}

'''Felicity Merriman''' (born April 21, 1765) was an American veterinarian, merchant and [[antics|anticologist]], who was best known for the stories based on her life.

Felicity, who was often referred to as "Lissie" by her mates, is a spunky, independent little girl who's into adventures, horses and committing [[antics]] on people, especially her best friend's sister Annabelle (aka "Bananabelle"). She also had a close relationship with her dad's apprentice Benjamin Davidson; the two became a staple of lulz among the ''American Girl'' community, as fans of the series would often pair the two and make romantic stuff about them.

==Personality==
She's mostly a tomboy of sorts, as she was often fed up with all the things young ladies at the time were supposed to do, much to her mother's disappointment - like most girls of the time, they were expected to be skilled in handwriting, making samplers and table manners. She can be a little brash and foolish sometimes, like [[Fegelein]], but she's also a gentle, caring and trustworthy person, as she can sometimes be seen with her dad at the shop.

==Downfall parody universe==
Lissie was mentioned by [[Adolf Hitler]] in ''Hitler is informed about Felicity Merriman's retirement'', with the Furher complaining about her being laid off from her "job", and made a cameo appearance in ''Hitler, the Merrimans and the Tea Party'', when her father (who also happened to be a wheelman and an [[antic dealer]]) made an ill-fated business deal with Hitler's Reich Corp. She also appeared in ''Fegelein tampers with Hitler's horse'', wherein Fegelein hires her as his newest apprentice and co-conspirator, and may probably make a few more guest roles throughout the Downfall parody universe along with a few other characters.

Despite the fact that slavery was prevalent during her time, she mostly dismisses it as a "piece of shit" thing to do, being that she hates treating people, regardless of race or nationality, as cannon fodder; she often treats Rose and Marcus, two of their family's servants, as friends and occasional accomplices, as the two would sometimes help Lissie in committing antics.

There are also some times where she wondered why she was born on the 21st of April, a day late from Hitler's birthday, and also a day after 4/20, or Weed Day for marijuana smokers. While she herself isn't that of a weed-smoker, she does sometimes advocate the use of the drug out of sarcasm, as tobacco is taxed by the British colonial government in her hometown. The latter, as well as several other personal issues, prompted Felicity's father to wage an antic war against the King of England.

===Antics===
It is established that she and her father own an [[antic dealer|antic shop]] in Williamsburg, Virginia. As the Revolutionary War looms in colonial-era America, Felicity, her dad and her buddy Ben, who were fed up with King George's rather ridiculous restrictions on the colonists, came up with perpetuating various cruel and often comical antics against the British armies, from bribing horses with treats to even lacing tea with a deadly dose of [[wikipedia:Blue mass|blue mass]], which was served to oblivious Redcoat officers. Her father was also known to have invented various tools and weapons that were used for pranks, such as improvised explosive devices, ''Predator'' missiles and modified Brown Bess rifles, which made it evident that the Merriman family were completely ahead of their time and had a deep understanding of engineering, military strategy and the classical methods of practical jokes.

She first started off committing antics back when she was six years old, as per family tradition since the mid-1600s. Her father Edward first taught her on how to piss off Jiggy Nye, the local tanner, by diluting the tanning solution with dyes, as well as several other pranks. Even the ''Publick Times'' town fair was no exemption to her mischief, as she would sometimes rig some of the games, giving her a not-so-fair advantage over the other fair-goers. They were also partially responsible for the infamous Boston Tea Party, during which Edward Merriman and his family became well known in the art of pranks when they dumped some shipments of tea into the river.

Fegelein also had a special connection with Merriman, as the two were known to have an affinity with horses. Hermann was known to have worked in his father's riding school when he was a young boy (and was well-versed with horses), so it isn't that surprising for him and Felicity to get along and commit antics together. It then became clear that Merriman has since been on Hitler's hitlist after conspiring with Fegelein, during the Furher's visit to Williamsburg. This didn't bother Felicity, though, as her family has been into the antics business for several years, and angering Dolfy was considered to be a badge of honour for her, even going so far as to paying a visit to the bunker.

It was also established in the book ''Very Funny, Elizabeth'' that Elizabeth Cole, one of Felicity's closest friends, was also a fellow antic-doer<ref>cf. ''Very Funny, Elizabeth''; It was Elizabeth who was the real antic-doer in the ''Felicity'' series, although Felicity may have conspired with Cole.</ref>; one of their victims was Elizabeth's sister, Annabelle Cole, whom they deride as a "bossy, no-good imbecile" bent at making fun of her sister. Elizabeth was first introduced in the art of antics when she attended an anticology class at Miss Manderly's house together with Felicity.

One of her techniques in committing antics was a tactic known as "mark and execute", where she notes the target that is of strategic importance to her, and goes for the big kill by snuffing him/her out.

===Similarities with other Antic Masters===
* Like Fegelein, Merriman had been into horses - Fegelein once worked as a stable boy during his childhood days, while Merriman had been riding Penny ever since she was ten.
* Fegelein, Merriman, Tukhachevsky, and Werner had been living during the time that their respective home countries have been at war.
* Both Hermann and Felicity invent their own tools for committing antics - while Fegelein usually names his devices with the prefix "Fegel-", Merriman prefers to give her gadgets alliterative names, pretty much like in the ''Lemony Snicket'' series, such as the Sneaky Spring and the Tory Trap.
* Fegelein, Tukhachevsky, Werner, and Merriman have all primarily targeted their antics against Hitler.
* Fegelein, [[Lt. Werner|Werner]], [[Mikhail Tukhachevsky|Tukhachevsky]], [[Khamis al-Gaddafi|Khamis]], and Lissie are all [[Master of Antics|Masters of Antics]].

===Differences to other Antic Masters===
* She's the only woman to be officially a [[Master of Antics|master of antics]] (although some Untergangers portray [[Traudl Junge]] as an antic-doer).
* Unlike Fegelein and Tukhachevsky, Merriman was never charged with treason, let alone executed, making her (along with Werner), one of the only two "official" masters of antics to have survived the events of their respective films.
* While Fegelein, Khamis and Tukhachevsky lived in real life as historical figures, Merriman, like Lt. Werner in ''Das Boot'', was a fictional character in the ''American Girl'' series, although the events of the ''Felicity'' books (and, by extension, the film in which the parodies are based), are based on the events leading to the American Revolutionary War.
* Lissie is the only civilian among the antic masters. The rest have a position in the military. (Fegelein is an SS-Obergruppenführer, Werner is a lieutenant and war correspondent, Tukhachevsky is a marshal, and Khamis is a colonel). It should be noted, however, that Ben Davidson, her boyfriend, did take part in the war as a militaman, and that Lissie did help in her father's antics against the British forces.

{{q|We don't take a bath often, but hey, do I care?|[[Felicity Merriman]]}}
[[File:Merriman on set.jpg|thumb|240px|right|This photo is anachronistic, but did Merriman give a fuck about it?]]
'''Nobody cares''' was a policy implemented by certain people and/or groups that indicate lack of concern or attention over something that doesn't actually deserve being looked after. It was known to be in use ever since the ancient times, and it was a popular way of settling disputes between two or more individuals.

==Examples==
*[[Colonist]]s at [[Williamsburg, Virginia]] during the 18th century were said to have taken a bath just once a month, but at least nobody cares.
*Around that time, Britain decided to tax the American colonies. The colonists decided that nobody cared about what Britain wanted and started a war.
*[[Brother Sharp]] was seen [[crossdressing|wearing female dresses]] in [[China]], but still it didn't matter.
*[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] was infamous for being unoptimised for computers, but did it keep people from playing it?
*[[Samantha Parkington]] actually spent her childhood during the Edwardian Era, but nobody cared so [[American Girl]] marketed her as Victorian.
*[[Android]] tends to be a tad less optimised when it comes to memory management, but nobody cared so device manufacturers shoved in more RAM instead.
*[[Elsa]] set off an eternal winter and put the kingdom of [[Arendelle]] in certain jeopardy, but nobody cared and the villagers hailed her as queen.
*[[Shirley Temple]] has animal crackers in her soup, but nobody cared so she got sent to the orphanage more than a dozen times.
*Nobody cares if this wiki doesn't get updated often.
