Kill the kill switch - &quot;ST - yy&quot;

Yes, it was factory sealed with the original security tape still intact on the box. I figured they had somehow been exchanged in bulk already based on serial #’s and that I had been scammed but it booted up and completed the recall procedure fine with no issues.
[Shield Tablet General] Juloc:
Ok, so 3 years ago my tablet got killed by nvidia, tried to unbrick it for days with the help of this post but gave it up...Didn't have the SBK's needed for nvflash...

Yesterday I found the tablet between my junk and decided to start it up again, so I charged the battery and boom, it just started working again!!! How is this possible?!?

I didn't go online yet, and I'm going to delete TegraOTA before I do...

So there is still hope for bricked shield's, I just have no idea what I did besides not charging it for 3 years... :)
[Shield Tablet General] topcat36:
:confused: That is not possible. Maybe was not bricked by the killswitch...

Sent from my old SHIELD Tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] Juloc:
I checked it on the url provided in the first post and the killswitch was triggered on my device...I gave up because there was no way I could get it to work. Untill now, it just booted. I plugged in the charger, did not boot it, left it on the table and when I came home from work it was on the 'first time start up' screen of android....No idea what happened...

Now I have 2 working shield tablets, I'm happy :D

And yes, I'm carefull for the battery fire thing... ;)
[Shield Tablet General] pinchez:
I have a quick question , I’ve not used my 32GB LTE RoW tablet for a while, it’s currently on official 5.2 with killswtch blocked. Is it worth upgrading to 5.4? I want to keep to official Nvidia roms for compatibility.
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
5.4 still has slightly higher battery usage i feel. 5.2 is probably the best if you are not worried about the security updates for meltdown and spectre bugs. If you do update, then i suggest choosing custom cpu scheme as in the default cpu scheme i find that all cpu cores constantly run, none ever go to idle, whereas when in custom the CPU gets to idle, which is part of the battery drain issue
[Shield Tablet General] pinchez:
Thanks, I’m not worried about security updates so I’ll stay with 5.2, I only really wanted to update if there were any optimisations :good:
[Shield Tablet General] wogarro:
Did the same for me. Original tablet was in storage for some time(Over a year and a half at least). Was looking into replacing the battery on the replacement unit and decided to check if there was anyway to resuscitate the original device. I knew the battery had to be charged so i plugged it up and the red battery icon came on. After a few minutes of charging, i started unit and it boot right in to the tablet with out the lockout that it previously had. Any thoughts as to what happened and what steps can i take now to prevent it from locking again?
[Shield Tablet General] Bryanx86:
That's crazy. You guys think Nvidia sent an update to unbrick your device from their kill-switch? If so , that's great, but one has to wonder why...?

Wake up thread:

I have nVidia Shield LTE 32GB - it's gonna be in progress of bricking pretty soon.

I have a problem when flashing the no-more-ota zip.

I'm using the PowerShell instead of cmd (couldn't overrun Windows in terms of turning off PowerShell).

After using command "adb reboot bootloader" it's shown that the device is unlocked. All debugging options are unlocked on the device, as well.

I can choose from 5 options:

1. Continue - cold linux boot - device normally booting

2. Fastboot Protocol - rebooting the same screen

3. Recovery Mode - doesn't work, shows the android sign with "no command" written on it.

4. Reboot - normal booting

5. Poweroff - turning off the device

After that I'm using the command "fastboot flash recovery MY FILE NAME.img" PowerShell shows:

"< waiting for device >"

the device is still the same, nothing is happening.

Whichever option I choose, doesn't work for the PowerShell commands.

What is it about?

Sorry if this question came out before but I'm a n00b in this and just trying to rescue my Shield from being bricked.

Help?

Help?

Your shield is not blocked. As you described, once the original firmware was loaded, according to nvidia instructions, without connecting to the internet !! You put the computer in debug usb mode, in developer options. After installing the latest version TWRP, you will see how the recovery mode works.
[Shield Tablet General] thriceless:
How goes it guys, first off thanks to all the help in this thread from all the members here! Now I'm still able get into recovery on my original shield 16gb wifi and have been able to flash the nomoreota.zip and lineageOS successfully, however my tablet just hangs on the shield loading screen when I try and load the system. I'm wondering if replacing the battery (since it's still the original Y0) would resolve the issue maybe? Thanks!

[Shield Tablet General] kanekanekane:
A long while ago I carried out the kill switch fix, but it was so long ago I have forgotten the details. I am sure I used this thread as a guide.

All is well with the tablet, but I have a question.

Can I update to a custom Ron with having to worry about the kill switch?

Can someone please refer me to a guidalsobwhats a decent room. I am not to interested in gaming just good tablet features and good performance.

Thanks in advance.
[Shield Tablet General] P00r:
yes custom rom normaly do not have the kill swith installed but better be safe than sorry do that the first post tell you to do

If you're on stock, delete TegraOTA (/system/app/TegraOTA or /system/priv-app/TegraOTA if you're on 5.0 or newer, or /system/app/TegraOTA.apk if you're still on 4.4) before booting into Android (the attached ZIP file does this for you, but please check with the file manager in recovery before rebooting and let me know if it didn't work), then reboot

Note: you also will need to delete TegraOTA again if you ever install an OTA from Nvidia or a recovery image

If you're not on stock, you're probably safe
[Shield Tablet General] kanekanekane:
Do I run the nomoreota.zip via recovery mode.

[Shield Tablet General] Titaen:
Checks for updates with no TegraOTA folder; am I safe?

[MENTION=4937137]Bogdacutu[/MENTION] You could possibly answer this.

I am on 5.4, flashed the nomoreOTA.zip in TWRP (latest), also sideloaded it through TWRP because under the about phone the "check for updates" seemed to be actually *checking*

I have not received kill code, but I never went through the recall process yet. Only now doing it for various reasons.

The folders within the system folder that you mention, and everyone else has mentioned, are not existent on the partition. TegraOTA does not exist under /app or /priv-app -

Is it possible it is located in a different folder in 5.4? OR is it just a remnant of the system that is not really functioning?

Each time I ran nomoreOTA it said it was deleted and successful and I cleared cache and dalvnik as well.

Please advise if you think I am safe at this point?

Thanks!!!
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
If it's not in those locations you should be safe. This is an nvidia update check, if you have booted and connected to the internet, and it was still installed and your device was marked for disabling, then your device would have been disabled by now
[Shield Tablet General] TheKicKer69:
K bought 2 new batteries 1 for my shield tablet that's working and 1 for my dead shield (kill switch got to it). I can only charge it. I don't mind opening it and dissecting it if I can get it to work. Can we change the drive? SD card or wotever it is? My shield is on LOS and working damn well. Getting the other one to work would be great. Any help would b appreciated.

Card in question is this

64GB Turbo Performance Class 10 microSDXC 90MB/S Read

Part No. P-SDUX64U390G-GE - See more at: https://www.pny.com/Turbo-Performance-microSD#.dpuf

Is this phone compatible with this card?

I'm not sure if I should try another..my photos were all lost unfortunately.

[HTC Desire 510] mixelpixx:
I installed the CM11 for this phone, I know not perfected yet, but it started having issues so I figured I would just go back to non-sense and be done with my CM11 trial.

At first I was just having trouble mounting DATA, then after a few reboots into TWRP 2.8.7.0 -- I lost my CACHE partition as well.

I tried using the RUU, but failed for SECURITY. I can't flash any ROMS (no DATA / CACHE) -- So I am stuck. FASTBOOT works, and I have access via TWRP, but thats it.

Carrier is Virgin Mobile.

Phone is U.S. 32-bit

Been rooted and working since we got root.

Any advice on how to proceed? Can I rebuild partitions from inside TWRP (command line?) can I find something that can be FASTBOOT or installed some other way?

Going back to stock is fine for now, what I am shooting for since it got all buggered up. And no I can't install BACKUPS either. Need partition access first..
[HTC Desire 510] mixelpixx:
Sorry, I think ADB is working, just can't do anything again because of the inability to mount the DATA & CACHE partitions.
[HTC Desire 510] juanca2205:
The RUU failed by security because you have bootloader unlocked. Try to re-lock bootloader and re-install the RUU. That should work fine.
[HTC Desire 510] mixelpixx:
Been a while since I messed with this model, how do I re-lock bootloader?

****derp.

To re-Lock your bootloader Load phone into FASTBOOT and issue fastboot oem lock from command prompt. Phone will reboot and show RELOCKED.
[HTC Desire 510] juanca2205:
Reboot phone in fastboot.

In adb, check with "fastboot devices" that your device is connected.

Then, in adb, type:

fastboot oem lock

And now you will have bootloader relocked.

PS: The phone only will reboot in Bootloader. That's because you don't have any OS installed.

To install the RUU, only plug the phone in fastboot and open the RUU program.

I was messing with an old m8 and tried to insert an SD card. I didn't think much about the cutout piece and tried inserting the card, as you can imagine that didn't end too well.

I can't get a grip or anything to get the SD card out now, what would be the best bet to get it out? I tried using a tooth pick to try working it out by moving back and forth with no luck, also tried getting a piece of tape to stick to it and pull it out but no luck. The ejector only pushes it out till it's flush with the side of the phone.

Any suggestions or ideas?

The Watch Styer that you gave me in the link is nice, but limited in clock style choice. I would love to be able to chose from more digital and analoge clocks, styles, positioning and such. More freedom and also more colour choice. I wouldeven pay for an app like that.
