WiFi Full OTA v5.0 added

I'm not seeing any available files yet for anything but WiFi.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
Carrier certification more for NA vs ROW?
[Shield Tablet General] stunned2:
Thanks for the Wifi update!
[Shield Tablet General] Iorkca:
anyone having issues with the wifi update? im on the OG shield and ive read about K1 users having issues not being able to charge the tablet after installing 5.0 anyone having this issue with the OG shield?
[Shield Tablet General] loick2728:
Thanks for the zip 5.0 wifi

Is that this update is protected to avoid subsequently the kill switch update (yy battery) ?

I asked for it because I almost had the update 4.4 (I was in 4.0) However the tablet is root, I flash nomoreota after update 4.4 but when restarting it started the update "battery yy". I turned it off immediately and restart in recovery and flash mashmalow 6.0 ... it's ok !!

(sorry for my bad english ...)
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
No, it will be the original nvidia update. Make sure you have the latest nomoreota.zip, as the paths changed when android 6 was released. Also, if you put your device in airplane mode before flashing, you can verify the nvidia ota is gone before enabling wifi or internet.

Normally i would double check in twrp file manager before rebooting as well.
[Shield Tablet General] Bucklew:
As NVIDIA still does not want to send me the OTA-Link, i wrote a small bash script in order to "search" the file on the webserver (e.g. try every possible combination) and it worked :)

Here is the OTA-Full-File for RoW LTE for the first Shield Tablet (not K1!):

h*t*t*p://ota-downloads.nvidia.com/ota/data/posted-roms_romuploader/external/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_un_do-full_ota-1928188_841.9637.20170202014855.zip

(Original NVIDIA-Server)

Can be flashed easily through adb sideload.

Hope someone as desperate as me will have his fun with the link :)
[Shield Tablet General] kenkiller:
I can confirm this file works on my ROW LTE as well.

No obvious issues on first boot. Charges fine.
[Shield Tablet General] madasahat:
Downloading this now thank you very much I will try to sideload with twrp

[Shield Tablet General] SX86:
From what I see, they added a link to the 5.0 update for the wi-fi tablet. It looks like it's up to date.
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
Yes, i flashed the update on a pyro tablet. I put it in flight mode first to be safe before updating in twrp recovery. Took a full backup as well before starting.

1. Flash Row lte nougat update from nvidia

2. Flashed nomoreota.zip - latest version

3. Flashed supersu 2.79 latest supersu build

I forgot to reflash twrp recovery at the end, but i didn't need to as after the update i rebooted back to recovery and twrp was still there.

Now on row lte Android 7.0 nougat
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
perfect thanks! You can only indicate the nomoreota SuperSU latest versions and where can I find them?

Inviato dal mio D6503 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Shield Tablet General] Nintonito:
Used ROW LTE zip from above. Working really well. Had some upgrade issues but nothing that didn't sort itself out by leaving the tablet idle for a couple hours. Otherwise solid update. Some DPI issues might be present, seeing some oddities. Not seeing the bootlooping or other issues mentioned yet. Hopefully I never see them.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
There's threads dedicated to both those files you requested. Don't know what you mean by "fake apk."

SuperSU

Grab either the stable recovery flashable zip from the first thread, or the beta from the third one. Your choice.

NoMoreOTA
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Flashed the RoW 5.0 over my NA 4.4 and it worked with no issues so far. Not sure if there will be down the road. Lol Even my Project Fi data works fine.

OK, it looks like some apps keep crashing but removing and installing them again fixes that.

Magisk 11.1 seems to boot loop. Didn't bother with previous versions though
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:

So just to be clear you guys flashed RoW LTE 5.0 on a USA LTE pirotablet and it worked with no problems? Did you modify anything before the install as other threads have reported that this is not possible due to modem/firmware and so on.

Just flash. I have US LTE version of tablet. From android 4.4 i use only ROW firmvare for my tablet.

If you have pirotablet and you don't want to delete tegra-ota, then change the serial number of your tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] Rilen:
Hi guys ... so i read most of the thread and i'm more confused than ever...

I have an Original Shield with ANdroid 6.0 installed on it and i'm Rooted; i have TWRP. [ software 4.0 ( 24.3.66.43)]

I'd like to upgrade and keep the root if is possible.

My wife downloaded the official update of the shield and it keeps me reminding .... Press here to install. (grrrrrrr :( )

So how i can go form my poit to the last version available keeping the root ?

Thanks guys, You will be as usuall Awesome
[Shield Tablet General] Wolf2231:
First you need the full OTA not incremental. Plus SuperSU.zip

Boot your device into recovery mode

Apply update from ADB

Connect your tablet to PC in ADB

Type adb sideload (filename)

It should update

Now when complete sideload the super SU also.

Now you have your tablst updated and rooted.

Disclamer: You should always backup your data and be read for worst natural disasters. If something went wrong. No regrets.

All info was in the forum with enough research you would find your answer. Its always prefered to read the main post.

If I was helpful please give me a thumbs up.

Any further help just ask.
[Shield Tablet General] haymanchoi:
Hello guys, I have some questions abt downgrading...

My tablet is updated to 7.0 through OTA

Before upgrade, I have backed up 6.0 through Twrp

So, If I would like to go back 6.0, I just need to restore the backup or I should follow instruction from OP??

Thanks...and sorry for my English..
[Shield Tablet General] Wolf2231:
Very nice. It been around 15 since adb Sideloaded the zip. It stuck in 49℅ serving. How long it took you to sideload it.

My Shield is on 4.4 OTA

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

I think I got my tablet bricked or something. It was stuck at 49% for about an hour on my tablet patching update unconditionally. My laptop didnt last that long. It gave an error and abort sideload on my tablet.

Now reboot. And its stuck on the nvidia logo.

I never thought of this could happen. Anyways all my data is still in my SD card is part of storage so encrypted it is.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] Rilen:
Worked perfect ... :good:
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
no problems here with ROW on US LTE. no mods.

I couldn't get SuperSU (2.79 sr3) to work.
[Shield Tablet General] will3k14:
Flashed yesterday and I'm enjoying the row LTE version. Any updates on SuperSU?
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
SuperSU works fine for me. If SR3 doesn't work, use 2.79 stable.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
SR3 works fine for me on the newest RoW LTE.
[Shield Tablet General] SJMarty:
OK, so I downloaded the latest SuperSU from here...

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable

When I installed the .ZIP from Recovery (TWRP), it installed as Systemless. So thank you for your suggestion (since it worked) but this really confuses me...

Does the SuperSU download now include both System and Systemless Mode in the same .ZIP?

If it contains both, why did it default to Systemless on my Shield K1? I've read dozens of posts of people running in System Mode on this hardware.

Thanks for the continued assistance!
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Yes, it is both. It installs systemless by default since you can essentially turn it off with a flick of a switch (using Magisk.... and when Xposed for Nougat is released, that can be, too). There's a command you have to run in terminal via recovery before flashing SuperSU to force system mode, but I forgot what it was. You'd also have to remove root and reflash the original boot.img from the ROM zip beforehand. Can someone clarify this/correct me if I'm wrong?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I believe SuperSu installation always defaults to systemless mode now whenever it's possible.
[Shield Tablet General] SJMarty:
Maybe a dumb question...does system mode require a custom kernel?
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
no, it shouldn't. why do you need System mode?
[Shield Tablet General] SJMarty:
I found some stuff on Reddit that helped me get SuperSU in system mode running MM v6.0.1...Flash SuperSU from Recovery (will flash as systemless by default)

Run a cleanup from within SuperSU and then app automatically reboots.

Reboot to Recovery.

Type the following into Terminal...

echo SYSTEMLESS=false>>/data/.supersu

From Recovery, flash the same SuperSU as above (will flash as system mode this time).

From this point, after rebooting from Recovery, the tablet is stuck at the "NVIDIA" logo in the middle of the screen and the Powered by Android" logo at the bottom.

Any other suggestions or ideas of anything I might be missing or overlooking? I want system mode because some apps I use (Titanium, for example) don't behave correctly in systemless mode.

Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
after upgrading to Nougat appeared continuous mistakes with launcer Google. Because I have a pirotablet, if I do a hard reset I would have no problems with tegraota? I lose TPWR recovery and SuperSU and I'll have to redo the root?

Inviato dal mio D6503 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
That's the command I was thinking of, yes. I have never gotten it to work, however, as it always installs systemless anyway. The reason you're stuck is because the boot.img is patched by the systemless SU and you need to reflash it as I mentioned it before.

Titanium Backup and Busybox work fine with systemless root. They still can gain root access. Not sure what you mean. Are you using the stable build or the SR3?

Here's what you should do in this case:

Boot into TWRP and do a wipe.

Flash the zip again, as well as the "NoMoreOTA.zip" just to be safe.

Reboot, and when the setup begins, DO NOT connect to a network. Skip everything (put your name in if desired).

When you reach the home screen, you shouldn't have any force close errors, hopefully. If you do, your download is likely corrupted. Try downloading the OTA again.

Access the system settings if you don't have any errors, and check if you can access updates. If the background is blue (I believe it's supposed to be blue, correct me if I'm wrong), then NoMoreOTA likely worked. You should also check in the system files and see if the TegraOTA apk is gone. Then you can connect to WiFi and add your account, download your apps, etc.
[Shield Tablet General] stunned2:
There's an update today to 5.1 that is supposed to fix launcher crashes as well as other fixes.

[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
I know it did, but they slowly roll it out, and not everyone gets it right away. I haven't.
[Shield Tablet General] SJMarty:
If I understand you correctly, after I upgrade to Nougat and lose SU, I need to hit it again from Recovery with the SU .ZIP. Do I flash the boot.img after the SU .ZIP is installed but before restarting? Also, where do I get the boot.img to flash? I haven't seen a boot.img file from anything other than MM.

My experience has been that running systemless SU, Titanium is unable to convert a system app to a user app. It never completes. I also have an app called Elixir that has a system component. When I try to convert that app to a system app so Elixir will work, it fails to convert.

I am using the SR3 version of SU. I also tried the latest build with the same results.

I must really be doing something block-headed here...I have rooted every device I have owned and up to this point, all have been successful.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
First flash the boot.img (either in TWRP or bootloader), then run that terminal command. Flash SuperSU afterwards.

You get the boot.img from the OTA zip.

Ah. Yeah, same in my experience. I use ROM Toolbox for stuff like that.

Yeah, the Shield Tablet is an exception. It's kind of dumbfounding and a pain in the arse.
[Shield Tablet General] D-m-x:
Anyone here got the Stock Recovery for the K1 from 5.0, and want to update but I need the stock recovery first to flash it back.

managed to flash wifi

I managed to flash wifi from within nvidia settings using twrp. It ran an "openrecovery script" and updated to 5.1 Before when I tried it, it did not work I think because I had xposed installed but I am unsure. This time I did not as there is no xposed for Nougat.

I then used fastboot and adb connected to a laptop to reflash twrp and then supersu.

The versions of twrp I used were twrp-3.0.2-2 and supersu SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

Hope this helps.
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
Is it possible to flash SuperSU from within TWRP recovery or do you have to use fast boot for latest 5.1 RoW?

Is anybody able to clarify that they flashed everything through recovery and kept root?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
If you have access to TWRP then you can flash whatever's supported by TWRP.

I flashed supersu from TWRP recovery just right after flashing the 5.1 package without issues.

[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Just back up, wipe, and flash. Get the FULL OTA and flash via TWRP. Make sure you have the latest.

I don't know if that's the correct file as the link isn't working. Download the FULL OTA. Since you're coming from one Android version going to another, you will need to back up your apps/data, standard wipe, and flash the OTA. I think the blob is included with that zip. If not, flash it via fastboot afterwards.

Keep in mind, incremental updates can't be flashed if you're root. Has to be the full one.

Hello,

I just downgraded my K1 from Nougat to 1.5 today. After I have carried out all the steps (flashing the recovery image). The tablet is now stucked on the Nvidia Logo boot screen and keep repeating the optimising app progress. Its been half and hour, everytime when the app optimising progress has completed, it goes back to the Nvidia Logo and repeats the app optimising. May i Know how can i fix it? Thanks in advance

#edit1: sometimes the tablet manages to get into Nvidia home screen but there are a few messages keeps coming out and it is not possible to do anything except clicking the OK button as it keeps coming out. And a while later the tablet goes back to the Nvidia Logo again.

[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
This may go without saying, but make sure your boot loader is unlocked. Use the latest version of TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-shieldtablet.img). You can use the TWRP app to flash image files as well (be sure to select the correct device and sector (recovery, NOT BOOT). If that fails still, try running the recovery directly from the image file, then flash it in TWRP (use IMG option).

I took the risk of flashing it since no one offered an answer (held my breath while it was booting up). The zip worked for my Shield LTE. TWRP is intact after flashing. Didn't do nomoreota but I froze system update in Titanium.

Maybe I should be more clear. I dirty-flashed the zip but I still have LTE/Mobile data after the update. I was trying to confirm that the zip was for the LTE tablet. Dirty flashing a wifi zip on the LTE will create more problems than simply no data/LTE, experienced that first hand before after making a dumb mistake.
