The Images

Yeah, the reason I didn't post the links yet is because I forgot to flash the new blob while testing my images, and neither the latest official TWRP nor the 3.1.1 stock recovery would boot afterwards. After a few hours of headbanging I figured that out.

Here are the files.

Staging Blob (must flash): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2bDl0UV9tS3BEbzA/view?usp=sharing

Boot Image (must flash, aka: kernel and ramdisk): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2bHByWi1kaXZtWm8/view?usp=sharing

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/0B4WUjKii92l2ZWROeFF6WTNaNFU/view?usp=sharing

System Sparse Image (must flash): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2ZkJlcTE1MTZPdlk/view?usp=sharing

The following files were not present in the OTA, but you might want/need them anyway if you want to do a full factory restore.

Stock Recovery Image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2SjVzZHBKaDFoTFU/view?usp=sharing

Data Sparse Image (aka userdata, THIS WILL OVERWRITE ALL YOUR FILES, PLEASE BACKUP FIRST): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2Q3oxQWFURE9KYk0/view?usp=sharing

The smaller files (blob and both boot images) are also attachments on this post, if you prefer to get them directly from here. They're compressed with 7-Zip so they can fit within XDA attachment limits.

You'll want to flash them with fastboot commands. If you don't know exactly how to do that, then I don't think this is a project for you.

WARNING: These images are only partially tested! I haven't tried to boot back into either stock or TWRP recovery since I fixed the blob! I shall not be held responsible for glassing of planets, resonance cascades, portal storms or great disturbances in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced!!!
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
Can i Flash this with cyanogenmod installed? And if yeah could you pls say the commands if possible?
[Shield Tablet General] garrettcorn:
[MENTION=6169180]philipp21897[/MENTION]

I'm not responsible if anything bad happens :)

fastboot flash staging blob.img (fixed! thanks [MENTION=6861708]Redjay412[/MENTION])

fastboot flash boot boot.img ( or for root fastboot flash boot boot-su-eng.img)

fastboot flash system system.img.simg

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
It gives me an error when trying to flash blob.img
[Shield Tablet General] Redjay412:
If I am not mistaken the command for blob.img is fastboot flash staging blob.img
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
It works!!! Thank you very much!
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
I looked at my Shield Tab 3.1.1 Recovery Image and in the flash-all.bat file they use the following command for Fastboot

fastboot flash staging blob.img

In the K1 OTA via Stock Recovery the blob gets pushed to Staging (will load on next reboot)

nv_copy_blob_file("blob", "/staging");

EDIT: doh, late to the party
[Shield Tablet General] Redjay412:
Thank you very much for your work in this

Just an FYI for anyone with the older Shield Tablet. I was unable to flash this via fastboot to the older tablet. In case anyone wants to keep from wasting time trying it out.
[Shield Tablet General] garrettcorn:
I can also confirm that it is doesn't work on the older Shield tablet. Everything flashes except system, throws out "FAILED (remote: (InvalidSize))."
[Shield Tablet General] Yoyoa:
I read in geforce forum a lot of people had probs with wifi due to this update. I'm actualy like a lot of people in stock previous this update. I'm root and use a custom kernel and Sixaxis tools. I know if i flash OTA i will loose recovery, kernel, sixaxis and my adblocker.

People here can tell me if it's better to wait? or if a really good good update and if root come sooner?
[Shield Tablet General] Smultie:
Thanks. Somehow your system.img wants saves as system.img.simg after downloading.

I'm fairly sure I should just rename it, but consider this just a heads up.
[Shield Tablet General] T-Keith:
Now that you mention it, I went through the same bs. Fortunately, it also had the cracked corners so they replaced it because of that. You could potentially have my tablet, or at least the motherboard.
[Shield Tablet General] Atlbaird:
working on shield tablet v1

with a combination of everything in this thread i was able to get 6.0 on the original shield tablet im gonna make sure all is running right before i post my steps though as this is running on an broken tablet i do not want to be responsible for someone destroying their tablet lol . But so far everything is running pretty darn smooth.
[Shield Tablet General] TheNinja370:
Got the 6.0 update for my K1 yesterday as well. Awesome having all that extra internal storage via my 128gb SD card now. All is working smoothly. Formatting of the card seemed to take an uncomfortable several minutes, however.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
experiments with flashing on a 16g Shield8 tablet (the older wifi one)

flash the blob,

flash the older k1 recovery.

reboot recovery (dead android) so power and left hand volume key

update over adb

adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-sb_na_wf-full_ota-40827_642.8910.20151218112856.zip ( THE FULL PRODUCTION ZIP)

so far its on patching system image unconditionally

adb shows up

serving: 'productionBL-droid-signed-sb_na_wf-full_ota-40827_642.8910.20151218112856.zip' (%count)

but it sticks at 93%
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
sounds intriguing.

even though the sparse system image is the same size as the stock nvidia one it won't fastboot, so I'm fascinated to know how you did it

Formatting system is odd.

Creating filesystem with parameters:
Size: 1342177280
Block size: 4096
Blocks per group: 32768
Inodes per group: 8192
Inode size: 256

Created filesystem with 11/81920 inodes and 10749/327680 blocks
target reported max download size of 100663296 bytes

that should allow at least 1.26gb but the 3.11 system.img wont fastboot now either, must be something to do with the new blob
[Shield Tablet General] ollidiemaus:
On my Device it also took a very long time to format the sd card as internal storage and it seemed to be stuck at 20% but after all we just need to be very patient. :)
[Shield Tablet General] tiagofernandex:
Its possible to change the format sd card? I choose portable but now i want it internal storage and i cant see the option..
[Shield Tablet General] kalinskym:
Can anyone provide a download link for the original Nvidia Shield Tablet 32GB LTE please. I want to feel the marshmallow goodness.
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
Hi it seems like i can't boot to recovery now after I used the Method from [MENTION=4386140]castrwilliam[/MENTION]. Anyone knows how to fix it?
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Reflash boot blob and recovery it should work
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
I already tried it but i still can't boot to recovery. When I try to boot into recovery nothing happens and then it reboots normally.
[Shield Tablet General] FeuchtVonLipwig:
How do I get rid of this fallout shelter app, why did they decide on adding bloat ware now with the update, even as system app that you cannot remove?

The good thing is that the Twitch stuttering I had before after watching streams for some minutes seems to be gone now.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
interesting. that's what worked for me earlier, but it doesn't work now.
[Shield Tablet General] :
Anyone got it running on Shield Tablet V1?
[Shield Tablet General] kalinskym:
Are you guys able to install 6.0 on Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE 32GB? Has anyone had any success with installing without any problems, considering Nvidia has not released the update for the first edition of Shield Tablets.
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
Any other suggestion? :)
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
fastboot erase cache got me as far as the android with the spinning logo
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
now i can boot into stock recovery! Thank you! But it seems like twrp is not working on marmallow for now.
[Shield Tablet General] Seya16:
Go to storage & usb in settings then Sd Card and on the upright push the logo with 3 dot should be there
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
no worries :D

I'm still experimenting with getting it flashing onto my shieldtablet8.

Suspect editing the image, removing some files and creating an old uncompressed update.zip is the way to go.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
ok I'm now getting very confused.

There appears to be only apks, build.prop and some en_us lang files (along with recovery patch) in the ota zip.

along with aforementioned blob and boot image.

no frameworks, executables, libraries, nothing. it's not a full update at all. ****

Should be able to push this to any 5.1.1 rom. on any of the original tablets.

hmmm starting again with clean 3.1.1 build.

*** if that's so how can Nvidia call this MM ?

maybe my extraction tools are broken
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
If you're looking at the full build, basically everything is in system.new.dat.

You can extract that out with sdat2img, by using the transfer and the new.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
aye thats what I've been doing, but it's not extracting anything other than the files I listed. Odd.

Will try something else, maybe the virtualbox is playing up
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
Getting system.img?

Extract that out with ext2explore. Then you'll have framework and all the rest.

Edit: Screenshot of extracted system.img from the MM update.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
ext2explore is dumping out empty folders, which suggests sdat isn't working..

Will boot up nix box in a bit and see what's really going on.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
ha ha that's better.

full sys image at 2 gb.

1 gb of which is that fallout shelter apk

how very silly.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
what TWRP version are you using? there is a 2.8.7.3 that is not on main the TWRP site

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087009777
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
Only the Big releases like 2.7.0.0 and 2.8.0.0 will be uploaded in the Main TWRP Website. The other Downloads will be uploaded there http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3257172
[Shield Tablet General] Pender666:
Could someone flash it on old shield tablet? Is it working OK?
[Shield Tablet General] xsquid:
Had to reset the tablet from settings to get in, after that "no command" appeared with the android and I could get in. Before that it would go to a black screen. Thanks.

Flashed the boot su and installed the superuser app listed in the thread and now rooted, thanks for all the info guys.
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
Bit late but, the old tablet is a much more favourable device than K1 since I did draw a lot on it and the extra space for the stylus would be awesome.

Too bad it's not avail here anymore though so I'm quite eager to get one if the price is decent.

edit: Seems they blacklisted Antutu and 3DMark (courtesy to me I guess :P). So until then, no benchmark results until I can get past these issues.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
I've managed to get a reduced size system image flashed on my wx_nf but it's boot looping.

time to try something else.

Noticed this at the end of the build.prop

ro.expect.recovery_id=0x1a65eb1a866dc9df8dee7fa79f 331df894bd10bf000000000000000000000000

wonder if that is commented out if recovery will work properly?

Edit

I give up for now, dropping back to 3.1.1 till I can work out why it won't boot.

made a nice update.zip with dat files that flashed without issue over a fresh install of 3.1.1. but it won't finish a boot on the old tablet.

Without adb it's not easy to see why not.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
hmm not that useful a log attached

no way of getting dmesg yet.
[Shield Tablet General] sminki:
can't you freeze/remove NvBenchmarkBlocker ?

(or is that nothing to do with it?)
[Shield Tablet General] Techamazon:
That's the one. Rooting would be one solution but that defeats the purpose as I want to know why it was implemented.
[Shield Tablet General] dowlf:
I was able to get 6.0 and root. Everything is working great so far. Thanks to everyone for all the help getting this to work.
[Shield Tablet General] RollDanTide:
Hi dowlf, you were able to get root with 6.0? Could you please direct me to where you got the info from on how to do this seeing as to how everyone has ignored me? lol

Thanks, man.
[Shield Tablet General] dowlf:
After flashing the OTA for 6.0 I flashed the rooted boot image posted earlier in this thread here:

I then installed the su from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en

Once I did that I had root and everything works.

Good luck.
[Shield Tablet General] RollDanTide:
Thanks. I upgraded from unrooted 5.1 to 6.0 since I received the tablet yesterday. Would I need to flash only the rooted boot image? If you don't know, that's fine, but if someone could help guide me through the steps, I'd appreciate it.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
install the APK he linked too.
[Shield Tablet General] Prax:
Just incase someone was wondering, the only difference between this OTA and the one that will go out to the original shield tablet is the size of the partitions, decreasing the size of the images will not work correctly the only way to get this to work (Just to make it clear I have not been able to get this to work) is to re size the partition map of the shield tablet. WARNING: DO NOT MESS AROUND WITH THE PARTITION MAP UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING IT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO BRICK A DEVICE. (sorry for the caps) In the past I did manage to repartition the flash memory on a nook tablet but this was a long time ago not sure if I want to try on this device. Maybe someone with more experience can write a script to do so safely.
[Shield Tablet General] agrabren:
Doh! It's not supposed to be there.
[Shield Tablet General] agrabren:
All three core images can be extracted and recreated smaller. Same way is always been done. But I suspect it still wouldn't work without a custom kernel.
[Shield Tablet General] ruoani:
Recovery image is up for the shield k1.

[Shield Tablet General] Evil_Sephiroth:
is this the 6.0 rom?

my bad....5
[Shield Tablet General] philipp21897:
no the 5.1.1 stock image but you can just install 6.0 via OTA
[Shield Tablet General] Evil_Sephiroth:
Nope XD i flashed old shield rom on my K1 to have back stylus function..

now on the nvidia forum they say these option come back in 6.0 even on K1 rom
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Stylus function is on the 6 rom. Just been disabled by a line in the build.prop .
[Shield Tablet General] xsquid:
Anyone else going back to Lollipop? I am on marshmallow unrooted right now, I did the root with the modified boot image for a while but after a day it turned bad and had to flash the stock boot image. I did a reset and went back to stock marshmallow, unrooted, but every time I get into re installing my apps. That's one by one from play, not from a backup because some are not compatible, it goes bad. Reboots to a black screeen or hangs on the nvidia screen. Right now it's in a boot loop and I am downloading the stock recovery from nvidia. I will probably try upgrading ota and leave it unrooted for a while to see how it does but on this one marshmallow seems like a worse soup sandwich than lollopop. Doze is about the only thing I am interrested in, it seems to help on my moto x pure but not being able to move apps to the sd while in portable mode is a let down. In adopted mode it keeps screwing up.

I think a good, stock mm rom thinned down would be better for me. That's what I am running on the x pure and love it.

Lol, now it's optimizing apps after boot looping about 20 times. Entertaining at the least.
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
Which kernel did you flash? If it isn't a 6.0 kernel you will definitely have issues.
[Shield Tablet General] xsquid:
I flashed the ota 6.0 and then the modified 6.0 boot image in the thread. Then installed the superuser apk listed in the thread.
[Shield Tablet General] dowlf:
I've been using mine pretty heavy since upgrading with root and haven't had any issues so far, I will keep my fingers crossed.
[Shield Tablet General] SeekingSight:
So it looks like Nvidia may just ship out the OTA for the K1 to the original Shield... Might as well just restore with the K1 image then

But then you sacrifice Trine 2 LOL
[Shield Tablet General] Evil_Sephiroth:
i probably pack it with titanium backup and istall it again on K1 6.0
[Shield Tablet General] xsquid:
Mine was doing real well, just jumped the shark all of a sudden.

I have downloaded and extracted the lollipop recovery. No luck so far, it shows to be flashing but still will not boot to recovery and just stays in a nvidia screen to black screen boot loop.

Getting too old for this really. Should have waited. Flashing lollipop recovery right now, doesn't seem to want to take anything. Ah, just booted up. At least I'm in, will try ota update. I was rooted before.
[Shield Tablet General] Redjay412:
What makes you think that? When we try to flash the k1 ota to the original ST, it won't boot, so what makes you think it would be the same file?
[Shield Tablet General] Nvjoel:
Can i flash the K1 stock image on old Shield tablet and upgrade to 6.0?

[Droid Turbo 2 Accessories] calash:
I got a bit attached to the Folio style of cases with my last phone so I ended up finding a cheap option for the Turbo 2.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016DF2JU4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

$10 when I purchased it.

Case is smooth leather with a removable wrist strap. Uses a fairly sturdy magnet for holding everything closed, this was an intentional coice as I was worried about having a snap that could press on the screen.

So far the inside is holding together very well. I do not use it as my daily wallet but it holds some reward cards that come out every few days. Pockets are still good after a week of owning.

The phone is held in via soft TPU liner. I am worried about it stretching over time but so far there is no sign of any loss in grip on the phone. Phone is held tight with no wiggle

The back has cutouts for the camera area as well as the microphone and "Droid" logo. TPU liner allows access to volume, Headphone, USB, and power only, no access to SD/Sim tray without removing the device.
[Droid Turbo 2 Accessories] K2sInteg98:
Have you had any complains with people not being able to hear you when you're on the phone? Just bought a similar case and it has the cutout on the back for the mic but everyone complains that they can't hear me clearly or it sounds like it's breaking up

Hi,

Just curious if the AT&T Lg v10 would work on cricket? I have been buying factory unlocked phones for the past year and half so am a bit out of loop. I know older att phone models worked on cricket but I did see a few cases of it not working in the newer threads online. Just want to check before getting it.

Thanks
[AT&T LG V10] clockcycle:
You can buy a locked AT&T V10 and use it on Cricket (owned by AT&T). It does not need to be unlocked. Same applies for any AT&T MNVO too. In theory, but it seems youve found people posting that for them their phones haven't worked... :eek:
[AT&T LG V10] chopchopw:
Thanks man. I know in theory it should work just a bit hesitant since ATT has been having a lot of new restrictions with new android phones like bootloader lock.
[AT&T LG V10] clockcycle:
All carriers used to be boot loader locked. That's not new. And as far as AT&T and T-Mobile they welcome each others phones, they like stealing each others customers.

Just as the title says. Sadly some NFC payment systems rely on using a Secure Element on the SIM card, which needs this API to be possible to access. Does anyone know if Nexus 5X has support for it, or lacks just like previous ones. (Except N6 for some time, as I have found out somewhere.)
