[Shield Android Development] DragonHunt3r:
I yesterday updated to 82 and rooted it again through CWM, easy stuff :angel:
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
so , you dont have the oficial recovery ?, how is that you can install the new OTA without gettin error on the recovery if you are using CWM ?, i also did it but using the custom recovery
[Shield Android Development] nabelo:
mhhm...Can you please share your infos step by step how you updated?

For some of us its not so easy :D

What recovery you had installed prior the update?

What was the exact steps you did to get the OTA to install?

Best regards,

Manuel

P.S.: If anyone can share the OTA files somewhere this would be great...
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
Are you not receiving the OTA's via system update ?, i just follow the for penguins process to ge it root, but what are your specs on your nvidia ? are you running any custom recovery ?, are you full stock ? bootloader lock or unlock ?
[Shield Android Development] DragonHunt3r:
Well at first ofcourse when updating to 82 it gave some error about verifying files I still could continue but it simply failed

Since I had everything on SD Card I figured I rollback to Update68 and update from there without root and when I hit 82 I installed CWM and install SuperSu.zip

I think going back to 68 and re-installing updates was a little too much... If I just installed stock recovery and hitted update I think it would have gone fine and after that install CWM and supersu.zip
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
So you are going to rollback with any new OTA ?, i recoomend you to use the 4 pinguins process to root your shield again instead of CWM, i mean we dont have customs roms and mods so i think we dont need a custom recovery on our shields, maybe you have a secret custom rom for your shield :D
[Shield Android Development] DragonHunt3r:
Oh **** U caught me :rolleyes:, Yeah true but it didn't always worked, the first time I tried I was at Update68 and that worked fine but at 72+ nope, not for me atleast

Will give the 4 fluffies another go when a new update come up ;)
[Shield Android Development] nabelo:
What is the "the 4 penguins process" ?? Can you please explain ??
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
This is method mentioned, https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root if you have an unlocked bootloader just follow the root process.
[Shield Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Go to Settings > Apps > All Apps and look for Google Services Framework. Tap it, clear data, and reboot. When you check for updates again, it'll download. Make sure you have the stock recovery installed first.
[Shield Android Development] nabelo:
GREAT !!! This worked. Thank you so much :D

Im now on a rooted update 82.

I flashed the stock 77 recovery prior the OTA.

After the OTA flash was finished an the automatic reboot was sheduled i imedately pressed the "back" and "home" buttons to get into fastboot mode. From there i flashed back CWM and booted immediately into CWM recovery. In CWM i rooted it with Chainfires latest supersu.

After that i did the reboot and everything is fine :D

Thnx again for helping out with clearing my Google Services Framework data to get the OTA again...

Best regards,

Manuel

i just used this and it worked out wonders but the instructions are a bit clear at times so i had a bit of trouble but overall it fully works and very easy to use, only thing to make sure is you have to be on the main screen almost most the time or it says waiting for device and hangs there, until you root from cwm, but thanks man :D i am rooted with just a few clicks
[Shield Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
I feel stupid for admitting this but I was not able to get Fastboot working to save my life getting the stock recovery flashed back over. After doing like 30+ minutes of research I was like, "wait a sec, doesn't this need fastboot drivers", and sure enough in device manager it wasn't installed, odd when I remembered installing it before.

Anyways, restored to stock recovery.

Rebooted and installed the update.

Re-installed CWM and rooted.

Rebooted back into Android and made sure everything was ok.

I'm now on update 82.

I think the battery drain comes from the CPU frequency being locked at 1.9ghz constantly. It doesn't scale down. But also some have reported SHIELD Hub being the culprit.
[Shield Android Development] DragonHunt3r:
True it's being set at PERFORMANCE but mine can last ~10 hours running at 1.9GHz, I noticed a drain when WiFi is on, simply turn it off when not needed

help

I can't get this Shield Ram window to recognize my Shield but I already unlocked my bootloader with ADB bundle> platform tools so I know I have correct drivers to communitcate. So any idea why Shield Ram is ignoring my shield? It says no devices found in the list when it does a driver check.

I'm trying to roll back to OTA 68

New update released today.
[Shield Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
My method of reverting the recovery back to stock and then updating then reverting to CWMRecovery then installing superSU in recovery worked again for this update.

Just dropping this as a fyi incase anyone needs this.
[Shield Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, I already did that process the morning the update dropped. Seems to be the routine now.
[Shield Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Update 98 should be hitting the OTA queue any day now. A user on the Shield community boards said he got the update while installing some apps. Hoping someone could upload it from their cache as I can't get it to show up.
[Shield Android Development] rylen:
I'm that user that you're talking about. I already uploaded the untouched OTA update 98 zip file on my thread over at the Shield community boards. You need the stock recovery and sideload it via adb.
[Shield Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Hey, thought I recognized your username. Forgot to check back on that thread. Wasn't sure if you had managed to save the file.

I can't figure out how to install this via adb. I've tried sideloading it through bootloader and recovery but it's not detecting my Shield.

Anyway, for anyone else who wants it, here's Update 98.

[ROOT] Root for SHIELD Tablet 2.0 (Lollipop)
[Shield Android Development] NapalmDawn:
Hypothetical question

If a person had the shield and the note and is getting the new shield tablet, which one would you sell after getting the tab? The note or the shield? My vote was the note since the tablet more closely, completely duplicates the note where as the shield is still somewhat unique.
[Shield Android Development] Neoistheone2000:
As someone that has both the Shield Portable and Shield Tablet I would say both have their strong points, I prefer the Portable when laying in bed and playing games and like the tablet to watch youtube at the table or play video games at a desk, the portable is better when on a long car ride or plane ride.

Each have their own strengths. I have no intentions of getting rid of either one.
[Shield Android Development] NapalmDawn:
So your vote would be to bounce the note, keep the shield handheld and the shield tablet?
[Shield Android Development] BerryAl:
I would definitely do this. There are loads of times where the portable is the only device that can do the job, but the shield tablet is so similar to the note it would make it pretty obsolete imo.
[Shield Android Development] Thejimmynguyen:
Great work with the toolkit! So would it be able to continuously update the shield with the newest/latest version of CWM and SU?
[Shield Android Development] marvi0:
Hello this toolkit saved me, I owe you a definite donation as soon as am home. I managed to brick the device but used the toolkit to guide me back. Now am on Android 4.3 and when I search for an update it states am on latest and yet it's not. How do I update please. Thanks in advance.
[Shield Android Development] wrldruler:
In the past I've seen that the shield / nvidia admins can do something on their end for this. Send a PM to one of the shield employees at https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/136/

Furthermore, you can find the most recent recovery / system image (101 at this time) from their site and flash it to get up to date.
[Shield Android Development] JazzMartian:
In case anybody doesn't know this, you can use this program to install whatever update you want, by simply replacing the JB OTA update files (in the same folder as the Shield Ram v1.1 .exe) with the files of the update you want. I've done it many times. If you want to simply just flash a new recovery, as long as it's NSP compatible, just rename the recovery you wanna flash to cwmrecovery.img. That's all I've tested so far. I'm not sure if the renaming trick will work for every command that this program executes. I plan on testing it out more though.

Thanks again [MENTION=5315841]hexitnow[/MENTION], for this awesome program. :good:
[Shield Android Development] tooandrew:
hey, thanks for your great work. I am having some difficulties with this, however. My shield just arrived in the mail yesterday, so after setting up the ADB and fast boot drivers, I use this to try and install CWM. CWM, however gave me an error with an image of a little dead Android, and the Superuser app did not appear after using it. so then, I thought perhaps I need to take the update, and then this will work. after updating, I use the utility again, and cwm still shows no command error. I'd like to root before it ceases to be an option. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
Be careful, becase if you flash a recovery that is not compatible with the installed version of your shield you wont be able to enter recovery anymore, so if you just want to root your shield there is another method that i called the 4 penguins method so if you wanna try this send me a pm and i will send you the link of how to do it without cwm
[Shield Android Development] tooandrew:
you could just post it here, so it's accessible to others who experience this problem
[Shield Android Development] psycho1200:
For XDA rules i cant do that
[Shield Android Development] Steel01:
Why ever not? The author has at least one post about it on the forum already (cite: here). At least, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you mention four penguins (the default Linux boot image, btw). But yes, this is the least invasive root if you don't want a custom recovery. I use it even with a custom recovery.
[Shield Android Development] tooandrew:
is this for the console? the shield tv
[Shield Android Development] g8rpal:
Thank you!

I had a portable I purchased from eBay that I couldn't get to log in using Google and having to retype in my email and password for Nvidia log in over and over was murder. Your tool helped me reflash to stock. For some reason, I couldn't download updates. I copied over the 106 files and reflashed and it worked awesome!

BTW, anyone else who is unable to log in using Google... my theory is that when you first set up the device in stock, it is not really clear about the restore backup option. I think when you do that, it doesn't register it as a new device. The setup for 106 was more clear about this option and even made it clear, that you wanted to set it up as a new device.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work.

I currently have my Note 3's display profile at movie mode for the most accurate colors. However, it still seems a little... off. Some UI elements stil seem either undersaturated (for example, the blue holo accents) or oversaturated.

To use the TWRP Theme, just go to /sdcard/TWRP on your device and create another folder named, theme. Then place the ui.zip inside of the theme folder. Reboot in to your custom recovery and enjoy. If you want to delet it, then just delete the zip file.

Then I copy pasted the custom Roms zip file in the internal storage. Then in order to install the custom rom I need to boot into the recovery mode of xperia P.

So I first tried using Quick Boot but it goes on rebooting to the regular jelly bean OS and doesn't enter the recovery mode.
