I have this full android rom installled, how should I go about installing the new shield 3.0 marshmallow/vulken update?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Hahaha oh man, so I upgraded my rooted stock 5.1 to 6, and it murdered my /restore partition (RIP TWRP)... So now I have stock 6.0, no root, and no recovery!

lol also ADB authentication popup does not work (over network), and the ADB drivers for Win10 x64 no longer see the device... Hahaha what a pain!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Before install Android 6, be sure that you can turn back on stock Android TV 5.1 otherwise you can't install full Android 5.1

I have two devices, is not problem for me lose one.I did not lose much time to test the previous firmware after updating, but at the first try, I could not.

Let me know if you know someone that turned back. Today i'm too busy to test.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
ho god,before upgrading allways whip your whole shield and install it with the previous version so you can do a clean ota.

directly instaling the new version on a dirty /tweaked system is the easy way to brick every time,the shield is unstable with those things and can be messed up very easily,especialy with twrp.

outch,i wish you good luck.you can boot to recovery by using a keyboard and holding alt and print screen i

is it a bad idea if we test Marshmallow before your restyle rom?

I may be wrong but isn't Nvidia still doing RMA's for bricked units?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:

yes but if it is not the first time they can get suspicious.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
Hahaha, yeah the system still boots and works, but man stock is soooo lame. The ATV Play Store is TERRIBLE.. Luckily I made a Titanium Backup of all of my apps from stock 5.1, so I can at least restore all of those again. Worst case scenario, I toss it (or Craigslist it) and buy a new one.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
yea ho does android tv has a usb setting like marshmalow because if it is the case this disable data transfer by usb,it should say usb charge only. maybie your detection problem is here too but it is just a sugestion.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
6.0 for ATV does have the USB adoptable storage (which is f'ing AWESOME) if that is what you mean, but I tried via USB before connecting any of that, and also tried ADB via network. ADB over network connects, but the system never displays the "Authorize Device" dialog, so I can't push SU or anything else to it until I get that dialog going. I have been reading up on copying the ADB key directly from the device to the PC in order to get around the authentication, but haven't had time to do it.

Fastboot menu still works on the device, and b4 bed I got the stock recovery to work, but I still cant get the Win10 drivers to work with 6.0, so Fastboot isn't an option... I think my only hope will be force installing TWRP/CM via update.zip (if I can even do that). It is lots of fun trying to fix it :D Much learning!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
no i was refering to this .

im sure marshmalow will use it s own new drivers you have to download again.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] joebobfrank:
Zulu, is there an easy way to get the Task View (the square) working on the ReStyle version? That's the main thing I'm worried about losing from the Full Android version.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
[MENTION=6954171]tailslol[/MENTION] Hrm, I haven't tried that, but not sure if it is relevant when connecting ADB over the network (which also does not pop up the "Authentication" dialog). I will play around with trying to get Fastboot to work when I get home.

Just got my shield in the mail today. Plugged her in, and updated to 3.0 right away. Next step was gain root. Can i downgrade back to 2.1 and flash this ROM or is that a no go?? . And since it was just realeased there probably won't be any ROMs to work on Marshmallow for a while, is that safe to assume? Glad to be part of the Shield community.

Sent from my Sammy S6 using Revolution 1.0
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Zacharybinx34:
Wait, there is about to be a new release here.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Well. I tested if we can turn back on full Android 5.1 after Marshmallow update.

With my surprise, you can turn back well only on full Android 5.1, if you turn back on Android TV 5.1 you have a freezed startup screen.

So the best way to turn back on full Android 5.1 is:

get the recovery firmware 2.1 from here https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload#?search=SHIELD%20ANDROID%20TV%20Recovery&tx=$additional,shield

unzip and inside the folder delete the original system.img and copy the full Android system.img

flash_all.bat

at first start, if the device stop on the Nvidia logo ( valid also for the stock system.img )

remove the power cord, power on again and it start.

P.S.

instead i'm not able to start the stock 2.1 firmware, it not permit to complete the first setup where you should select language, wifi, google account etc. strange. but good for full android.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] banderos101:
This is good to know :good:

Thanks for testing this for us, and very brave too considering the 2.1 bootloader.

Zulu

If we are now on stock 2.1 ,how to get to your new Restyle 6.0?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
yes me im sure you can downgrade with the good old 1.3 flash all one.

less chances of bricking but it is true after this you have to do all updates again...

i remenber the ps3,ios and psp hack was working thisway because previous versions are allways the more stable and easy to hack in same time so for downgrading it is allways the better solution.

Not the good thread to ask.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
i opened a specific thread for StockRestyle firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/development/rom-t3321787

StockRestyle is not full Android, but is better than stock Marshmallow firmware.

If you don't need Marshmallow for a specific reason, i suggest to stay on full Android 5.1 for better compatibility with all apps in Google Play.

For all info about Marshmallow please use the StockRestyle thread.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
is a full android 6.0 planed?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
Sure if Nvidia publish the source code like 5.1

Good source code and not fake source code :)

Every device have specific binary, device tree and kernel source. The android 6 source code is on AOSP but this can't be used to create a firmware with the same quality of stock firmware if Nvidia not publish specific stuff for the SATV.

Apart this that is in common with quite all devices, in the last source code published, Nvidia not shared the same binary that are inside the stock firmware. For example in the source published + binary you can't decode h265 k4 and others things. To have this i extracted the binary from stock firmware and adapted. The adaptation, when the source code is not allineed, is very difficult and you can not always reach this result.

Many things are involved, when i read some comments like the post below, I do lots of laughter.

Personally i publish only firmware that are better than stock firmware, if i must create something that is worse the stock firmware, i prefer to adapt the stock one.

I like the quality, only on good hardware and software the apps can work well. You will never see from me something that is not exceptional.

Can someone please try and fix this? everything else is great, really dont like theh hdhomerun app compared to the live channels apk
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
today channels are in internet, we have different vision on this. The era of cable and tv over the air is at end.

but if you want you can with many alternatives. live channels is something dead before than born.

the best solution to have tv over the air, is with a little dongle that stream the TV channels in your local area network to all your devices.

something like this http://tivizen.co.uk/shop/iplug/ that you can connect to your antenna and stream the tv in lan, or something better and more modern.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
UPDATE:

For now i see a good signal from Nvidia to me :)

The source was published. Now with many work, i must see what i can do.

( if a good full android 6 is possible, i need at least 8 days of very hard work )

THANKS NVIDIA

P.S.

I think that the Android TV development must be built on top of the standard Android with specific launcher and specific apps that you can download from Google Play. Change the OS is really a bad thing for everybody. We can't force users in a direction or in another direction. The users must be able to choose.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] mi3x:
hello and thanks for this! I got my shield today and just flashed it.

One question: why isnt Twitch app compatible with this? Is there an workaround to install it?

2nd question: how do I connect my nvidia remote?

Thanks!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
For the Nvidia Remote (not the controller) you pair it via bluetooth in settings. (previously mentioned in the thread)

"Edit: it pairs via Bluetooth. Select your mute button until it lights up green and then do a Bluetooth search from your shield. Takes about 1 minute to finish connecting but it works."
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mi3x:
Great, thanks it works!

2 more questions: apps like tapatalk and instagram can they be made fullscreen? I have xposed with "app settings" even when I select force fullscreen, they show like on the phone (centered).

How can I restart device? Or access power menu if I dont have a remote button for power and I cant find it in setting either?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] digimancer:
You can try looking for an Android TV version of the app somewhere like this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?s=Android+TV&post_type=app_release

Or see if the app has it built in using: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en (usually found in "Activities")

For the power button I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasily.powermenu&hl=en
[Shield Android TV Android Development] zulu99:
No one uploaded the stock recovery firmware 2.1 for SATV 16 and 500 ?

Nvidia removed the link, you need the stock if you want reinstall the full 5.1 in case you want turn back from Marshmallow.

Make sure you have a copy of the 2.1 firmware, is very important.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
time to do a full android marshmallow.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mi3x:
I solved the power menu. I mapped in Gravitybox a long press of a button to popup PowerMenu. Awesome!

I need to figure it out how to have some apps run fullscreen mode in landscape (they open in portrait mode, centered on the middle of the screen). It's not the apk. itself, there might be a setting in this rom [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] to detect the device as a tablet?

I state this because I restored from Titanium Backup, same apps that were installed on another box and ran fullscreen on the same TV.

Any help?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] tailslol:
you need a lock position app for this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...d+app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_JXnRVoPUG4ynaLX-pYgP

it is one of the must have things.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mi3x:
Thanks, I already figured it out! Yay! Now it's perfect!!!!

I use "app settings" module from xposed, and I found out the option for "orientation mode". I selected "always landscape" and all is swell!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good:

Thank you [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] for this awesome job you did with this rom! I wish you all the best!

Issue with Sky go

Hey everbody,

I hope someone can help me with my strange issue...

I am running Sky Go on my Shield Android TV which is working perfectly in my home.

I have a Panasonic TX-P55VT60 with no overscan there.

Now I took the Shield to another house with a Samsung TV (UE 46 D 6200 TSXZG).

After the start of the shield the overscan was pretty bad. I could solve that with zulu's extracted app.

But now when I want to start any stream in sky go it just says "error" and stops the stream.

I really don't understand this.

Does somebody have an idea how I could fix this?

I already tried to set the dpi for Sky Go to 280 and 320 dpi but it didn't solve the problem.

Any help is really appreciated.

Best regards,

justkidding

Sky go check root, maybe an xposed module can solve.

2. Place on the dload folder

3. Go to Emui update->press menu-> local update

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
I followed the AFTV guide to a T. Flashed 51.1.4.0, had the boot menu, CWM and everything was golden. Pushed 51.1.5.3 to the SD, rebooted to CWM, flashed, now stuck in a loop. I cant even connect to it with the adb connect command. Am I screwed? Is this thing done? I dont understand. It doesnt even show the boot menu anymore. Just straight to the looping firetv logo. Was i supposed to reflash the boot menu after installing prerooted 51.1.4.0? This sucks if it's done for.....

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Thanks man. Hopefully one of those methods works. I've been at this for 4 hours carefully working my way through every single step. The highest high of the one last flash to go, turning into the gut wrenching sickness of a boot loop is too much for tonight and I'll try tomorrow.

On a side note: who runs that site? Guy is a God and needs a golden fire TV sent to him.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
LOL! Glad you're finding the site useful. Sorry you ran into issues, but if you unlocked your bootloader already, then you should be able to recover. Follow the guide Calibaan linked.

Maybe I should write a "Hello, I'm Elias" post to put a face to my work.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Yea bootloader is unlocked. I was literally at the step of flashing the newest prerooted version when it happened. So, if I get past the bootloop, which step should I continue with?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Once you get into recovery, you should follow the "Resetting with Recovery Mode" section found here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unbrick-and-prevent-bricking-an-amazon-fire-tv/#toc3.2

Some of the steps will likely be redundant and unnecessary, but it ensures everything is in a good state to proceed. Most likely something went wrong when you installed the boot menu, so be sure to verify the boot menu is working by using it to enter recovery mode BEFORE flashing the 51.1.5.3 ROM.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Thank you. I'm perfectly fine redoing all the steps no matter how redundant. I just want to make sure it's OK to reflash some of the stuff without first deleting the old. Will it just overwrite?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Yes, it's alright to re-flash anything. You should manually delete any files you "pushed" to the Fire TV and re-push them to ensure a corrupted file wasn't the cause of the boot loop. (You don't want to use the same corrupted file when you re-do things.)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
doesnt matter. just tried to fastboot and it isnt detecting any. :( I know the bootloader was unlocked. I did the adb shell command and it showed unlocked bootloader. WTF happened? EVERYTHING was followed.

OK tried just fastboot device minus the "s" and it's just waiting on device.

It's dead. Isn't it?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! Keyboard trick worked! It didnt work last night, but hitting the keys in quick succession finally made it boot into recovery!!!! What is the BEST way to proceed now that I'm here. I cannot eff this up!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
The Fire TV will still connect via fastboot even if the bootloader is locked. You just can't flash anything if the bootloader is locked.

While it's powered off, connect it to your PC using the A-to-A USB cable. Then plug in the Fire TV power. When it powers on, see if it's stuck on the white Amazon logo. If it is, then you're in fastboot mode, which means it's just an issue with PC drivers. If it's still doing a boot loop, then it's either too far damaged, or there's something wrong with your USB cable/USB port. As for PC drivers, I don't have an exact driver to tell you to use because, at the time I tried many and am not sure which one ultimately worked. It's something I;ve been meaning to figure out.

When the Fire TV detects power coming in through the USB port while it's booting, it enters fastboot mode (indicated by the stuck white Amazon logo).

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

If you're in recovery, install 51.1.4.0 and then proceed with the guide I linked.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
THANK YOU! While doing the keyboard trick there were a couple of times it stuck on the static amazon logo so it must have detected that, but 4 or 5 times connecting to my computer trying to fastboot it did not. I have to go to the Zoo right now, but will continue this later. Just one more question: As long as I'm now in recovery, I should be able to recover. Right? I already went out and bought another rootable FTV, but if this one is saved I can just go return that one.
