For those who prefer a more stock system, but want some measure of control, I wanted to pass along that I was able to install Xposed, Xprivacy, TiBu and ES File Explorer to this ROM. I had to download and reapply SuperSU and allow it to relaunch/install via TWRP, but all's well.

I did this by flashing Zulu's full Android ROM first, installing some utilities, then flashing the Nvidia OEM system partition on top of it. Some apps appear on the SATV screen (ES, Xprivacy) others do not (TiBu, Xposed installer) but I'm sure there's a way to get the icons to appear.

In any event, for those who prefer the stock Nvidia look & feel, along with their installed apps, this is at least one way to get it done.
[Shield Android TV General] hardwarechaos:
Hi there,

my shield is on stock now with several apps on it.

How can I flash without losing my data? Is it enough to NOT flash the userdata?

THX

[Shield Android TV General] hardwarechaos:
Hi there,

gonna answer myself. :D

As my bootloader was not unlocked the system got wiped anyways while unlocking it.

After that I installed the system as suggested by nvidia and restored my backup.

Concerning the root: From what I could see it is rooted for adb only. So apps don't gain root.

I ended up installing root via twrp, no imho no real advantage using the developer image.

I have a question, where do you find pre-root load in below link?

I only find Open source and recovery image.

you mean to modify Open source and build pre-root load?

[Shield Android TV General] Tyler27:
Have you installed SuperSu and tested it with various apps?

Im debating installing this image instead of starting all over to root the "real" way.
[Shield Android TV General] BillTheCat:
Ditto here. Now that you've posted, it confirms what I experienced. At first, I thought I had made a mistake.

Here's what I did.

Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock - easy enough!)

Flash the Nvidia 2.1 ROM to ensure stock condition (I used the 'rooted' Dev edition, but I doubt it matters)

Reboot bootloader

Flash TWRP

Reboot bootloader (to reinitialize partitions)

Flash SuperSU, Xposed

Reboot into system, sideload ES File Explorer, Xprivacy, TiBu
[Shield Android TV General] hardwarechaos:
Hi

After I saw that the developer image was root for adb only, I flashed twrp recovery and installed SuperSU via twrp.

So right now I don't see any benefit over the "standard image with root".

IMHO if you have adb root there should be a way to install it via adb too, but I could not find one and didn't want to mess around with installing the SuperSU files manually.

THX

Chaos
[Shield Android TV General] BillTheCat:
Agreed - turns out the Dev images are no real benefit. I found that installing TWRP, rebooting the bootloader, entering recovery and then flashing SuperSU works like a champ.

Hello,

Same result for me.

I've just received my Shield, I've followed the instructions given on the developers web page. I have an up-to-date 3.0.0 version, but applications don't have the root authorisations (tested with ES File Explorer).

I think I'll use the TWRP method...
[Shield Android TV General] flofy22:
i download 3.0 rooted version it came a zip with all files on it on nvidia shield.com tutorial said just ento bootloader and type comand flash-all.bat and gualahhh! but try like 1000 times and always said null error message and force close adb

can some one tell what im doing wrong please and thanks people!

bye the way gamestop its selling shield tv for 100bucks so for those who want another its the right time to get one :)
[Shield Android TV General] dismissthesky:
Not trying to start drama here at all, but what steps would I need to go through in order to get off of Zulu's full Android 5.1 and on to this? I see he's gone through and deleted all of the posts detailing the process of how to install his ROMs so now I don't even know the steps that I took back in August to install that ROM in the first place. My Shield is having a very strange problem where it stutters hard every 60 seconds or so and I want to go back to stock or something vaguely stock just in case I have to RMA this thing.
[Shield Android TV General] tailslol:
to remove zulu rom this is easy.

just go to nvidia site and get the complete factory images for your shield.

it will come with a guide on how to flash your shield with them.

it will delete everything in your shield and it will be stock like brand new.

then you can root it if you want or install a different rom.
[Shield Android TV General] rci2990:
no the forum mod removed his stuff because of his pay app.also theres issuses with the play store.

Okay I have Full android 4.2 flashed on my shield tv, can I take the newest version out for shield tv pro (2015) 5.1.0 dev rooted and everything would work correctly and not mess anything up or how do I have to go about getting the newest firmware and newest android 7 on here?
[Shield Android TV General] bp328i:
New to the Shield TV but not to Android or rooting, I've been doing it since the OG Droid on Verizon.

If I'm looking at the Nvidia download site correctly there is only one version for the Shield Pro (well two if you count the Developer).

I just want to make sure there is not a different version for the 2015 and 2017 models. I have the 2017.

I'm thinking I'm correct as the Pro did not change from 2015 to 2017 only the 16gb changed.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niceguy1430:
Starting a separate thread for missing/broken functions on Rooted Xposed Note 4 On Stock Touchwiz Kitkat 4.4.4

HELP :

Customised the phone in every possible way except three functions still missing :

a. Lockscreen widgets not available with phone on Pattern Lock, only on Swipe or None. Used to be easily available on my earlier JB Note3. But now Xposed Modules for Lockscreen Widgets or Widgetlocker are not working. Only way I can get them is by installing an S5 Xposed module for Locker Widgets and then Samsung Multiple Widgets Module. But that only gets me going on Swipe Lock, not pattern/Fingerprint/PIN.

b. Unable to change the stock dialer's background color. Earlier in my Note 3 JB had black color when call was dialing which changed to green only once the call connected, in this stock Kitkat ROM the color is green beforehand so that without vibration its impossible to know if the call is connected unless you are listening through earpiece. All 3rd party Dialers are of no use since at the time of actual calling they all take you to stock Dialer.

c. Whenever I try to select any text in any app, soon as I take the selection cursor behind the popped-up keyboard the selection cursor disappears and I CANNOT select any more text below. In the previous JB ROM, I could continue scrolling down and selecting text automatically even behind the Keyboard, but not anymore. Dont know if this is stock behavior or one of the apps/Xposed modules triggered this. Members can guide.

PLEASE HELP.

Anyone can help me with these 3 functions please? Im desperate, can try any paid app or module too.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenship:
There have been many reports about battery pull problem. In my case it's definitely due to installing bump'd TWRP into the device (D852 Lollipop), including using Autorec app.

Despite looking into different threads and forums I couldn't find a solution at all.

Is it something that we have to live with?

Ken
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eradicator006:
What is the battery pull problem? Is that where you need to pull out the battery sometimes when you shutdown the phone and the phone doesn't completely turn off? I have this problem and I'm pretty sure it's autorec related. There is also a problem where the phone will boot loop when you turn it on when it's plugged in.

I think it's something we have to live with until LG offers a bootloader unlock. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

Yes, with root access you can more than likely enable hotspot and tethering but I'm not finding anything to root your device, you will have to find and accomplish that before you can do anything.

There are many apps and PC tools that are designed to root many devices, do a google search for "one click rooting android apps" or "one click android rooting tools for PC"

that app is only going to help you if you had a USB A to USB C cord. it will let you know if it is compliant. it turned green because you're using a micro usb which wont reach 3A.
