[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owags7:
Hi, I am trying to downgrade my S5, SM-G900A, from Lollipop 5.0 to KitKat 4.4.2

I tried using Odin to flash the firmware but it failed. I read that there is an issue with the AT&T bootloader being locked. Was wondering if there were any updates on a workaround. Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Nope, after 5.0 ota goure stuck there, for now at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Killiun101:
Today in class, i was playing a game on my phone before we started the lesson, and i left it on my desk to start working and the phone's screen faded to black after a lack of usage for 2 minutes. After 5 minutes i went back to my phone but it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding the power button to reset it, i've tried holding down the home button, power button, and the volume down and up keys but it doesnt do anything. It doesnt even vibrate. It turned into a brick for no reason at all. The only thing this brick does anymore is have LED light blink blue every 5 seconds or so. I was on 77% power when it started doing this so battery shouldnt even be a problem. Anyone have any ideas why this thing started doing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
Try holding the volume down key and power key, not home key. That is the general reset method method. If that doesn't work try taking it to the store. S6 is a phone with lots of bugs =(

Someone can tell me the different between TRLTE and TRLTEXX please ?

Thanks in advance :)

UP please !
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoniinfante:
Both uses Snapdragon SOCs, TRLTE are based on different carriers, like Tmobile, Att, TRLTEXX are unlocked like the N910F

Anybody remember what was the link format for the full ROMs?

[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
If you're currently rooted, the FULL version is what you'll need to flash in your custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, Phils) - don't forget to ALSO re-flash the latest stable SuperSU.zip in recovery AFTER flashing the full ota .zip and BEFORE rebooting if you want to keep root!

This is the FULL rom for the 16GB Wi-Fi model (says NA, but it's the same for all Wi-Fi models worldwide):

http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/data/post...d-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-32256_546.1774.zip

I've downloaded and successfully updated...(755MB). FWIW, my TWRP custom recovery survived the update.

Link to the 32GB LTE model for North America has been updated in the OP above.

32GB LTE ROW (Rest Of World) version is:

[Shield Tablet General] MusikMonk:

It's also still downloading for me (relatively slow speed), but judging by the size it should be the correct file.
[Shield Tablet General] gavin-phelan:
Didn't flash for me. In twrp
[Shield Tablet General] MusikMonk:
I'm guessing you flashed the OTA not full ROM (because there's no way you've already downloaded it), and probably over a rooted system, right?
[Shield Tablet General] gavin-phelan:
Sorry your right lol downloading full ROM now
[Shield Tablet General] r3ferrei:
Replacing wf with do seems to get the LTE NA version. Downloading now and will give it a try.

http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/data/post...d-signed-wx_na_do-full_ota-32256_546.1774.zip

Finished flashing. Works perfectly.
[Shield Tablet General] Mahewa:
Thanks for the link! Wish they had a faster server (going between 350-450KBps).

I only rooted after the last update, so let me make sure I have this straight. Flashing this from CWM should update my Shield just like the OTA update would done the way nVidia intended it right (i.e. leave my data and apps in tact)? It's my understanding it will leave the bootloader unlocked but otherwise remove everything that made my phone rooted (CWM and SuperSU). If I didn't reflash the recovery or SuperSU right away, I could do it later, right?

As usual I disabled the modem in my lte using hiden menu it fix my issue with Netflix as I don't use lte

Had the odexing message at each reboot and I noticed I had the extra obb folder inside android, deleted them and now the booting is normal

Battery charge seem faster, this seem like a very good version so far!

Will flashing this "full" ota wipe the device?? Is there a incremental ota floating around??

[Shield Tablet General] marcocore:
No, the full OTA will not wipe your device. Incremental OTAs can be found in this thread; however, if you're rooted, you can't use an incremental OTA.

I noticed in op that it said to use flashify to flash twrp again. I've flashed the full ota's before in twrp and cwm and they have never touched recovery. Just needed to flash supersu.
[Shield Tablet General] Mojar7070:
I can confirm that there is no need to flash twrp a second time via flashify once you flashed the ota. This is of course, if you already had an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to start with.

[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
Can I use this method to unlock and root 5.1 OTA or will WinDroid universal toolkit unlock and root this stock 5.1 tablet? I just got my replacement tablet today so was doing the updates and realized it went to 5.1.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I don't believe you can flash this if you're not unlocked and rooted. These files are for those who have their bootloader unlocked and rooted.

[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:

[Shield Tablet General] MusikMonk:
Guys, stop worrying about International vs North America versions for Wi-Fi because both have the same ROM.

For some reason NVIDIA chose to name the files "na" but it's used for both. There is no other "un" version, and the "na" files are what a normal update will download regardless of USA or Europe.
[Shield Tablet General] ACharLuk:
This is working waaaaaaay more smoothly now! Awesome update!!

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

The only difference is between the LTE and WiFi version right?
[Shield Tablet General] MusikMonk:
LTE does have two, very slightly different, versions: "na" for US and "un" for international. WiFi has only one version for all: "na".

That's all there is to it.

Perfect! Lollipop 5.1 from 5 root

Thanks a bunch...

I was on 5.01 rooted

Downloaded full WiFi ota and su from this thread

Used cwm app to reboot to cwm recovery

Made a backup, flashed full ota, flashed su, reboot.

Everything just like it was and updated, on opening a root app just need to give permission again, and all my titanium freezes were still in place.

... now to make cwm backup

Downloaded the linked ROM from Nvidia & the SuperSU in the first post to my laptop, took out the card from my tablet (Root Explorer was having difficulties saying Android permissions won't cooperate), copied them over to the root of the microSD card, replaced microSD card, booted into TWRP & flashed the ROM first then the SuperSU & then pressed REBOOT.

Took about 5 minutes for everything to update at bootup, but all is well. I'm at 5.1 & still have root.

It can't get any easier than that! Thanks OP!

Soo much faster and stable than previous version. I'm happy with it soo far
[Shield Tablet General] koop1955:
Your understanding is basically correct. Let me offer some suggestions -

I think that the general consensus is that TWRP works better for this device than CWM; at least that has been my experience. I am using the latest TWRP build, installed through Flashify.

I keep a flashable Zip of SuperSU in my ROM folder to make sure that I don't lose root, but to answer your question I didn't flash that, just the full OTA. Upon completion of that flash TWRP let me know that I had lost root (but everything else stayed as it was, all my apps and such.) I let it complete and after the update finished and boot was completed, SuperSU asked if I wanted to restore root. I did, it downloaded the file necessary and flashed it via TRWP.

After this rebooted, I have an updated tablet, all my apps and data and root now restored.

Long answer, but I wanted to help you and anyone else who bothers to read this understand the process.

Cheers and happy updating.
[Shield Tablet General] jeebuspwnz:
I did a full wipe and installed fresh, but restored all my apps via titanium. Holy chitz this tablet finally doesn't feel like a POS! Benchmarks are no faster but actually using the tablet is finally something that doesn't make me cringe.
[Shield Tablet General] kenkiller:
Liar. I don't believe you would do that.
[Shield Tablet General] Mahewa:
Thanks for all that, it's very helpful, but has also left me somewhat confused. When I googled TWRP for nVidia Shield Tablet, all I found were forum posts with an unofficial build that people said had the wrong orientation and didn't respond to touch screen. Is there a safe TWRP build I can put on my tablet? If so, what would be the best way to do so with CWM already installed?
[Shield Tablet General] gubbe:
Am I the only one experiencing that app folders on the desktop of the stock nvidia launcher on 3.0 show nothing but white space?

Install Flashify from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en

Download the zip file from here to your computer: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59809489&postcount=115 (the zip is at the very bottom)

Extract the .img file to your Shield. Open Flashify. Select Flash Recovery image and point it to the TWRP image that you just put on your Shield. You should be good to go from that point on.

Here is the TWRP thread if you need any more help.
[Shield Tablet General] xperia64:
I'm on the 16GB Wi-Fi version and this is my experience so far:

It's not as laggy, the audio issues in mxplayer have been fixed, folders work, and the color correction works. Xposed 5.1 works fine.

However, I get that annoying optimizing apps thing on almost every reboot, and OTG is broken. Some workarounds have been posted on the GeForce forum but I'd rather have a proper solution. Also, I still get huge thumbnail files. I think those are caused bt camera awesome though, and I can prevent them by deleting the folder and creating a file with the same name.

Edit: I stand corrected. The audio is still broken in mxplayer.
[Shield Tablet General] superdragonpt:
Hi

Same thing on my wife's tab.

Managed to get OTG working again, but needed some work .

I already sent a message to GeForce.

There are some issues with ART on this build.

I reverted back, lets wait for an OTA to fix this

PS: Factory reset, its not an permanent solution to fix OTG.

Cheers.
[Shield Tablet General] :
I don't know if full OTA would work with you. However you can always incrementally update to 5.0 THEN 5.1 I guess ?

Had a quick look at internal storage to see what was causing art to reoptimize every boy.

There was an obb folder on the root of my sdcard that was left over from an early build.

It should be in /Android and most of the files were duplicated in the correct folder anyway so I deleted it.

Also removed dlstate file and .enref

This final file got reinstated on reboot.

[Shield Tablet General] TheCrowing:
I am having the same problem every time I reboot my tablet it says Android is starting... and the apps reoptimize. I checked and I don't have an obb file on my sdcard or a dlstate file or .enref. Any other suggestions before wiping data and cache completely?

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Figured it out, if you get the Optimizing Apps on every reboot then you need to go Settings > About Device > System Updates, click on the three dots on the top right and then select "clear update data".
[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Some of the system apps are a pain in the ass to get rid of. Like even with root, they are nigh on impossible to remove. So, if you have twrp, after you flash, unmount, then remount the system partition. Then using file manager navigate to system, app, then start axing. It comes with over 60mb of keyboards alone. I managed to get it down to just over 438 mb installed.... =) and it flies even faster.

[Shield Tablet General] contro19:

[Shield Tablet General] Pariahnoble:
Optimization problem.. For me I tracked it to down to files left in /android/obb on the internal. Even after a super clean wipe I got that optimizing thing. I'll have to look on twrp where they were. But just deleting that whole folder before a wide should do it. Haven't gotten it since
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
That varies greatly for everyone but for me, I can now leave Wi-Fi connected while tablet is asleep. Before this, if I did that, my battery won't even last a day even though I might not use it at all. My Wi-Fi setup hasn't changed at all so it's definitely the update. I'm always vpn'd in so it was annoying to not keep Wi-Fi connected while tablet sleeps as every time I wake it, my Wi-Fi would have to connect then my vpn would connect. Doesn't take that long but now I can just flip open cover and use immediately and still be vpn'd in. The tablet sleeps well. Not as well as my phones but for a tablet, it's not bad at all after the update.
