Wifi

Hello, I wanted to root the original Nvidia LTE Shield tab, so I flashed this from page 110 on this thread: Rooted Boot Image (flash instead of normal Boot Image for root, thank you to [MENTION=3856143]yubimusubi[/MENTION]i for the method): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4W...ew?usp=sharing

After which I have lost wifi and my baseband became unknown. Please how do I proceed to get wifi so I can root and remove the Tegra OTA app?

Difference between Nvidia's tut..

Can someone explain how this tutorial differs from the one on NvidiaShieldZone.com followed by.../shield-tablet/shield-tablet-root/root-shield-tablet-v1-marshmallow/ (Wont allow links for me)

The ShieldZone references the lates OTA update to 1.1, but I'm assuming this method would work as well.

Have decided to go ahead with rooting my tablet since the OTA update has been released, and just looking for the best method to achieve this.

Thanks,
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
Which tutorial are you comparing?
[Shield Tablet General] Sarcoise:
I had page 11 of this thread bookmarked as "Nvidia root tutorial", but it seems I marked it incorrectly. I was skimming over a guide on here (XDA-developers) when I bookmarked several pages for future use. The tutorial I am referring to is at this domain .../shield-tablet/general/how-to-root-nvidia-tablet-android-6-0-t3280671

Basically I'm looking for a guide that will yield optimal results. I don't mind "doing it the long/hard way" as long as its done correctly. I decided to wait until this latest OTA release to fix some charging and wifi issues I was having because of the possibility that I may need to return/repair my tablet. These problems seem to have been fixed and I would like to move forward in the process.

I am just curious as I have seen guides on here for the Shield K1, and on the above mentioned page at NvidiaShieldZone, but am not sure if the results are the same. Does the difference lie within the images themselves? Thanks for responding.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
The end results should be similar, but they use two different Root methods (phh in the XDA guide vs. Chainfire's SuperSU in the NvidiaShieldZone)

The NvidiaShieldZone guide looks more comprehensive starting from drivers & unlocking bootloader, so might be more "novice friendly"

If you go the SuperSU route, i'd suggest to use the latest v2.68 vs. the v2.65 that is in the ShieldZone's link.

K1 vs. OG Shield is slight differences in the images, more specifically around Stylus support, since the OG Shield Tab has the built in stylus slot and mini-launcher when it's removed.

Why wouldn't they push marshmallow on the tablet? I mean besides the fact that they did already and recalled it because of WiFi issues...
[Shield Tablet General] Rolldog:
I haven't used my Nvidia Shield Tablet in months, but last night,I turned it on so I could update everything and it says it has a ROM Update (version 6).Download finished, tap to flash update.

Well, whenever I tap it, it says:

ERROR

You have no data connection. Please connect to network.

Currently, I am connected to the network.I tried flashing it connected via WiFi and using my USB hard wire network adapter. Is there anything special I'm supposed to do so I can flash this? This tablet is not rooted and everything is stock. I wouldn't think Nvidia would want us to download another piece of software to flash it? Anyone have any suggestions?
[Shield Tablet General] demkantor:
You could factory reset and then update or you could flash factory software through fastboot

New rooted boot img for latest OTA

Here you all go. I just generated this tonight using the same script I used to generate the first one. Again, thanks go out to [MENTION=3856143]yubimusubi[/MENTION] for locating that git repository, not to mention those who contributed to it.

If you flash the old boot image over the new OTA, you'll lose Wi-Fi. This is confirmed to connect.

The image is attached to this post. Flash it as you would any other boot image - and remember that you can now do so graphically from within TWRP.

UNDEF_BUILD bootloader... is this normal?
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Hello,

hummm not sure to understand all!

I've rooted my Shield Tablet K1 on Marshmallow but without flashing TWRP Experimental. I've just use "fastboot boot twrp.img". All is fine!

But because I've just "... boot..." instead of "...flash recovery..." I'm still with original recovery. I've seen there is a new version of TWRP (3.0.2.0) and thought about flashing it. But it seems this TWRP version is not for Shield K1 with Marshmallow (only for Lollipop).

So my question is: what is the right version of TWRP I could flash on my Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 with Marsmallow?

Last question: can someone confirm that command is "fastboot flash recovery nameoftwrp.img"?

regards
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
Normal? No :confused:

Rooted boot.img for this week's 6.0.1 OTA

Please follow the instructions from my two earlier posts. I don't feel like typing them out again. This boot.img is for the 6.0.1 update that Nvidia started pushing to the Shield Tablet K1's earlier this week.

I tested it on my tablet as usual. Everything seems to be working. Let me know if there are any difficulties with it.
[Shield Tablet General] ronnbon:
I have that too..... I rooted my K1 yesterday following the instructions from the nvidia shield zone forum http://nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-tablet/shield-tablet-k1/root-shield-tablet-v1-marshmallow-2/. My K1 was already on marshmallow and so far everything went well. So there is something wrong after all?
[Shield Tablet General] dowlf:
I had the previous 6.0 update that was rooted. I took the OTA to get 6.0.1. Reinstalled the experimental TWRP and used that to install supersu. Now rooted an happy.

I'd say that the machine is acting much better under 6.0.1. The previous version was buggy, now it is running smooth.
[Shield Tablet General] DR_HAX34:
Is it just me or is the sound over HDMI is broken after MM update?
[Shield Tablet General] microb77:
For those interested in new OTA. I updated last night and lost root. I re-flashed this boot.img, and SuperSU couldn't update the libraries. I switched to phh's SuperUser and root worked. Rebooted a few times to see if it would keep it, no issues so far.

After upgrading to Marshmallow and rooting my shield tablet, the tablet will refuse to wake up every so often (3 - 4 times per day). Have to hold power down to turn off, then turn back on.

Any ideas on how to determine what the culprit is in not allowing the tablet to wake up properly? I have played around with display and screen saver settings...

[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
I had sleep of death issues with f.lux and the Compositer Color Driver, but zero issues with the Tegra driver. If you're using something like f.lux or CF.lumen, you may want to try f.lux with the Tegra driver.
[Shield Tablet General] ashleyglassel:
I think you are onto something here, see the related post I dug up https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/2694/black-screen-nvidia-shield-original-reboot-required.

How to you change these settings? Something else I noticed, it never fails to wake up when it is charging.
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
Scroll to the bottom of f.lux Preferences, under the Advanced section, you'll find Color Driver.

The Tegra driver fixed my sleep of death problems, and also Netflix and Hulu will be able to play videos at night rather than a black screen. In addition, when updating/installing apps, the screen filter does not disable. The only bug is that the screen flickers on rotation.
[Shield Tablet General] ashleyglassel:
Oh, I get it f.lux is an app. Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] ashleyglassel:

Use the Full OTA though a clean fastboot install may be better

Of course! They'd be silly not to do it, they just need to tweak it for the stylus and other minor differences.

[Shield Tablet General] Flawz:
Just to make things very simple, follow this guide: https://twrp.me/devices/nvidiahshieldtablet.html but do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and choose the file you downloaded.

Nvidia usb drivers: https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload#?search=SHIELD Family Windows USB

Also, type "adb devices" if you don't see your tablet, even though commands like "adb reboot bootloader" works it won't actually do anything.

To solve it, install adb drivers through device manager.
[Shield Tablet General] PhoenixTank:
I think you're right about it being too large =/

Not sure how it has managed to include userdata, but I've got a TWRP backup of system, if that helps anyone?

Wait wait wait...

Did you only flash the recovery.img?
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
I think we need a buildprop tweak or straight off copy of system only. Go ahead and upload if you feel like it, I'll be here all night testing patiently. Flashing Shield tab system.img works since it's only 1.2GB while keeping boot and recovery from K1 at least.

Building a DIY K1 "flackback package" to stock is our current goal atm until Nvidia feel like posting the whole thing themselves.

edit: boot and recovery flash with ease due to the size (duh!)
[Shield Tablet General] Flawz:
Yep, only recovery.img using fastboot. Confirmed. 100% working with 6.0. Just had to deal with "Optimization".

[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
I hope we can just flash the K1 tablet Marshmello update since they are the same tablet. We can right?
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
Are you saying that you upgraded your Stock K1 3.1.1 (5.1.1) FW to 6.0 and flashed TWRP. Or are you saying that you had a custom ROM and managed to flash to 6.0 with the files provided a few posts back?...

edit: on a sidenote... it seems that 6.0 is causing the dreaded wifi error I suffer on my K1 (still havn't returned it since I need stock K1 FW badly) for some users which is quite funny. Now I wonder if it's a hardware issue or something else triggering the wifi chip to stop working altogether. I have this issue both on Stock and CM and this was only temporarily solved by rebooting/turning off the K1 a few times until it magically started "working" again. However, this goes on and off with reboot which is quite annoying if you use Xposed or whatever.
[Shield Tablet General] Flawz:
Sorry. My original concern was that I couldn't update due to having CWM. From 5.1.1.

Used the provided files to flash into stock recovery.img

Upgraded to 6.0

Lost root.

TWRP does not work @ 6.0

Flashed back using previous file.

Works.
[Shield Tablet General] PhoenixTank:
Uploading. Going to be a while.

Sorry to anyone's device that this has negatively affected. I've removed the system.7z download for now.
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
So you were on Stock all the time and just wanted CWM recovery and root?

Coolio. You might have just saved everyone's asses until nvidia does otherwise ;)
[Shield Tablet General] tiagofernandex:
Can someone confirm if I am right?
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
You need stock recovery to update to 6.0 unless you already have a twrp/cwm ready package.

What WiFi error are you referring to? My first shield tablet wouldn't turn on WiFi after a reboot. I ended up sending mine back under warranty.
[Shield Tablet General] DroidMahn:
Probably. Try it and get back to us :p
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
Probably the same as you had then. Wifi chip would sometimes stay dead after a reboot. Reboots/shutdowns and power-ups would solve the issue temporarily But like I said, the same fix also borks it up. Now that I have Stock 6.0 onboard I can finally replace it once the shop opens up! I had mine on RMA once but the guy apparently only rebooted it and thought "well that fixed it". Least I have decent evidence now after all these weeks.

For anyone that has altered their system partition that wants to upgrade, and still has a working TWRP (i.e. you are on <= 5.1.1)

The upload of my TWRP backup of a clean 5.1.1 /system on the K1 has finally finished.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24338798368260389

Rename from .tgz to .win and put it somewhere TWRP can access it and treat it like a normal backup. Don't try to fastboot flash it.

Not as good as a factory system.img, but will hopefully let the OTA install, at least.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
these are the only checks done and both should pass with the OG Shield Tablet

i'm guessing, if it works, you will lose LTE, as this is for a WiFi only tablet.

it also flashes a Blob file in addition to system & boot, which is probably a new bootloader and could be why TWRP is not playing nice for people who've upgraded.
[Shield Tablet General] SireSalty:
Well, I just pulled a stupid beyond stupid.

I just flashed the recovery on my shieldc K1 (just updated to 6.0) using supersu.... instead of sideloading it in a moment of fat fingering. Luckily I finally got it to boot using the recovery.img from the base factory 3.1.1 image from nvidia (for the non K1) directly. Can anyone give me the recovery.img from the OTA for 6.0 lollipop? I can't figure out how to extract it directly from the OTA
[Shield Tablet General] PhoenixTank:

[Shield Tablet General] yubimusubi:
From a Linux system, I checked out this git repository: https://github.com/seSuperuser/super-bootimg/

If you unzip the OTA file there is a boot.img file - copy that into the repository root as "output/orig-boot.img". Then just run "bash build.sh" from the repository root. That will generate some rooted boot.img files in output. You can pick whichever one you want, but "boot-su-eng.img" is the "most compatible" according to phhusson's thread.

You can flash that i.e.:

adb reboot-bootloader && fastboot flash boot output/boot-su-eng.img

Keep in mind that root method is still really new and in heavy development, but if something breaks you should be able to just re-flash the original boot.img using fastboot.

Hopefully that makes sense, I know it's not exactly straightforward.
