If I flash only the boot.img, will that upgrade the bootloader? I'm wanting to go from LP to MM on my OG Shield.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
No the boot image is not the bootloader

Just flash the full proper upgrade for 4.1 for your tablet
[Shield Tablet General] Krunk_Kracker:
Thank you will do. Does the removeota.zip still work on MM?
[Shield Tablet General] obiwannn:
tried it, nothing happened. screen all black

Does Anyone have a copy of the 4.1.0 rom for the original Nvidia shield?

Does Anyone have a copy of the 4.1.0 rom for the original Nvidia shield? i'm trying to flash using TWRP but i can't find a flashable ZIP i've managed to wipe the tablet of the LP Rom so i can't upgrade anymore and i get the Error: "error executing updater binary" when flashing 3.1.1 if anyone can help i would be forever grateful
[Shield Tablet General] shisui13:
Is there someone out there that can pull build.prop of this nvidia shield? Thanks coz I don't have this device.
[Shield Tablet General] Bryanx86:
Why not try the directions in the beginning of this post. I don't understand your problem, is it with twrp or fastboot, because you should be able to fastboot the update if you don't have hardware issues. Maybe you haven't fully extracted the .img's enough for fastboot to recognize them. And if its a problem within twrp then it must not be in flashable twrp zip format to be recognized in which case it needs to be done using fastboot. I will help you as much as I can if you can elaborate more on what your specific problem is.
[Shield Tablet General] tripleteamed:
Awesome guide. I couldn't update my OG shield tablet to any other rom for some reason, but was able to get marshmallow via your method. I'm using a shield that was supposed to be recalled, but I disabled the tegraota. Now, I'm getting a k1 update to 1.2. Can I install this without killing my tablet?
[Shield Tablet General] aaronne:
Hi!

yes but remember to download the right rom version for your shield (1st gen is on 4.2sw) and don't connect to wifi or cellular before deleting tegraota file or disabling the update service.

Regards
[Shield Tablet General] daniel3334:
I am wondering the same thing! Does anyone know?

:confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

For some reason fastboot won't flash the boo-su-eng.img. keeps saying cannot load it????
[Shield Tablet General] daniel3334:
all steps were finally successful. but still have a bootloop lol!!

:confused::(
[Shield Tablet General] Bryanx86:
You must flash the staging blob to upgrade the bootloader to mm, just flashing boot.IMG isn't enough.
[Shield Tablet General] stwallman:
So I've got a pyrotab that has been running fine with the update checker removed but I'd like to upgrade it to MM. Is this process (as described in this thread) the best/easiest? Also, is it worth the upgrade? My biggest complaint is how memory is managed...
[Shield Tablet General] firstcym:
Good works. Thanks.!!
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Received OTA 4.4. today.

But can't get it flashed in TWRP.

Error 7 during update process.

File is only approx. 24 Mb.

Anyone?
[Shield Tablet General] Isira:
We need the Full OTA zip which hasn't been released yet.
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Probably, but I checked the "Full File download" in settings.

Curious if we get a full Rom update.
[Shield Tablet General] Mathman85:
It was only 25MB.
[Shield Tablet General] hannki:
Is twrp-20151227-EXPERIMENTAL recovery ongly we can use? Im allready on 4.4 official, but im intrested to flash newer version of recovery since this experimental is so laggy.
[Shield Tablet General] :
No, you can use the latest official from the homepage (3.0.2).
[Shield Tablet General] ddvche:
Is there a nougat version of this guide? please point in the right direction, thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
The latest official TWRP is v.3.1.1.0: https://twrp.me/devices/nvidiahshieldtablet.html
[Shield Tablet General] Lettuce:
Hello,

on Step 11 i got a Problem... i tryed to flash the experimental twrp from here over my 3.1.1.0

i got an error:

The Name was correct !

So i did not do this step and moved on with step 12:

after this my tab is now in recovery and i can do nothing... its freezed...

on my PC i cannot find it and the buttons are not working....

any ideas :D?

EDIT:

okay i got it back again working in fastboot :D

but still not working... i try to download averyting again... maybe there was a problem

EDIT2:

twrp worked on 2. try now without change anything!

EDIT:

WORKED

It was a really long way...

Did it with the old Nvidia shield with kill swich allready on and worked !!!

got 3 freezes on my tab :/ so it took really long... but now everything is working perfekt!
[Shield Tablet General] Rilen:
SO i suppose if i'd like to update to last version (5.2.0) i just simply do the same procedure only using the different zip

NO?
[Shield Tablet General] deryckmeister:
I have used the method as stated on page 1. Works like a charm. My pyrotablet was on Bliss rom for a long while. I still had fastboot access. Now I am on this rom.

Some notes:

1. The wait is about 5 min for rom to be installed.

2. TWRP is laggy but the ROM isn't.

3. Installed the PHH's superuser and File Commander (enable all root everywhere).

4. Install superuser in TWRP on exit from recovery.

5. Do not install the update if it is already downloaded. It wrecks the whole installation and you have to start over.

6 Rename the folder (location at /system/priv-app/tegraota/) and the TegraOTA.apk to oldTegraOTA and TegraOTA.apk.old respectively, as an earlier post suggested. Viola...no more update messages!

Thank you OP and the many other users for your valuable input!

I think titanium doesn't like this root method.

Edit:

It's a better idea to use systemless SuperSu

http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/root-shield-tablet-systemless-root-boot-t3260988 and use superSu Method

Use the origin-bootloader (no prerooted) and the Supersu 2.65

Might be better to set SELinux as permissive before using titanium to restore.

Great job. Very stable after a cool down period. I turned it off and let it charge at bedtime. Turned it on in the morning and it's smooth as butter. Is this basically the same as the ota everyone is complaining about or is it cleaned up any? I keep hearing about what an atrocity this update is and I'm login so far. The miscellaneous draining went away so that's okay. The storage works great. The apps work great. Maybe it's because they applied it over there old install and I did a clean install idk.
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
e.g. would be "for example" i.e. is more for clarification.

Multi window is possible with a build.prop change. In case some people don't know Change the build type from "user" to "userdebug" and it will appear in dev settings. Also, layers works on this build. I did use SuperSU 2.65 to get root and haven't had any problems.

Arrgh is this why I can't multitask for beans? Apps constantly restart/get killed when used in combination (hangouts, chrome, ingress, play music..)

[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Well bizarrely ram disk isn't used after reboot. I'm convinced it was used on first boot when I wrote that.

Grab kernel audioutor from play store. Install busy box tweak swapiness till you find something that works for you.

Low memory settings seem ok for me, but experiment to see what's best for you.

The sdcard is running on noop, which I don't personally like. Was great when it first appeared, but so was black and white TV... Needs some more low level digging to see why accessing it is so sluggish. Could drop cache from 2048 for the sdcard to see if it helps.

Sd Card bug

hey just wanted to let you know that the android m looks and feels good in the original shield tablet(wifi):good: but the only bug i was able to find is to have a game or heavy app being install directly in the sd card:crying: but at the same time you could move most of the light apps from internal storage to the sd card and they worked properly:confused:...just wanted to report that oh and the screenshots dont work eather

Can't find any bugs. i've to say: this is actually the best rom what i've flashed on my shield. i had many other roms (CM12.1, blisspop, stock 5.1) in the meantime but this Android 6 is my favorite rom. Its fast and smooth and i've a battery drain of 0.1%/h in deep sleep.

I installed xposed and and Supersu and there are no issues !

When LTE function works it would be perfect !

[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
So you need to be specific with the img name. The command would be issued "fastboot flash boot boot-su-eng.img" if you use the link I provided. You need to be specific to the image name you are flashing. I will update this clarification.

Have a problem with root.

When i flash prerooted boot.img i have problems with updating binary file, but when i lash nonrooted boot.img and then after setting up the system i flash supersu via adb sideload using twrp that is listed above but it is stuck in bootloop (maybe for 10-20 minutes for now) on nvidias logo. Help!! I really wanna have marshmallow on my tablet. Plz, if anyone has this kind of problem, or maybe there is a man who solved this problem, please, help me please.
[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
If you're using the pre-rooted boot image, you need to use "Phh SuperUser" from the playstore-- NOT SUPERSU. Please read the guide more closely. If you are using the non-rooted boot image... use SuperSU 2.65 BETA.

Start over from step 1, reflashing the right boot.img

I have followed the instructions to the letter, however, I am getting

FAILED (remote: Insufficent memory.)

when I try to flash the system image.

And also seems to happen when I try to go back to one of the stock images now...
[Shield Tablet General] Exile1975:
Sounds like there was a problem flashing the blob. Try again, starting from the beginning

Edit: also make sure your trying to flash the reduced system.img file, not the full one

Edit 2: to return to stock you will have to flash the stock blob
[Shield Tablet General] Peccoskaify:
I have the original tablet with the killswitch. Do i have to delete it before flashing this? - Right now im using TWRP, root with custom ROM.
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
If your tablet has the killswitch active, then you will ALWAYS and FOREVER need to remove the tegraOTA app from ANY stock-based rom you ever install before you allow it to connect to the net to prevent it from bricking your tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
So when the official 6.0 OTA is released, do we need to do anything to restore the partitions or anything like that?
[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
All you should need to do is get the regular blob for the Shield Tablet. Once you do that, do a full-stock restore and you should be good.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
How do I fix the SD card issue? Either I format it so it can be written, or I keep it as portable storage so I don't have to wipe it, but it can't be written.
[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
I'd suggest taking the data you want off and mounting it as additional storage, though it is slow when using the data on the SD card..
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
That's the only solution? What if I need to take it out and insert it into my computer? Will it be readable?

I also can't seem to move or delete system files, and some apps refuse to install. SuperSU IS installed properly. This is turning out to be a real pain in the ass.

Failed to delete with ROM Toolbox Pro, too.
[Shield Tablet General] Xenomorph613:
The people who want to return the plate back to the official Android 5.1.1, but have heard that the blob should be done, but where do I find them to SHIELD Tablet (without K1)?
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
So, Solid Explorer didn't work. Can't delete system files at all. This is BS. Tried phh's Superuser, same issue.

And formatting the external SD card as an internal one prevents the PC from accessing it. Are you f$%^ing serious?!
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Can't seem to figure out how to access the SD card from anything other than the built-in file explorer...
[Shield Tablet General] diafebus:
Guys if that is for the interest of anyone, I did all the steps but wiping userdata (too lazy to perform a backup hahah) and it all worked just fine ^^ after doing all the fastboot commands I went to TWRP recovery, installed the Super SU app zip, and wiped caches again, just in case, then hit reboot, it rebooted 3 times and then it started android normally.

I'll check how it works now! I hope it does good, by the way I guess we all should install the OTA when it arrives!

Thanks for sharing this!!

PS: I did some stuff with it, it looks like it works perfect! Actually the menus and all that stuff work much smooth, and all apps seem to work just fine :D Cool! BTW it thinks it is an Nvidia Shield K1.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
How do I access the SD card? I need to move my TB backup to it.

If you have any problem accessing to your OS you can mount sd card from TWRP menu! I haven't tried if you can do that with default recovery... Good luck

Anyone experiencing bad lag with the share features. When I record the screen it causes terrible stuttering and the video files are like a slideshow. I tried reflashing the software and it doesn't help. It normally works fine until the first reboot. After that no matter what I record or what settings I use it lags. Even if I'm just web browsing. I tried even formatting the SD card back to portable storage to see if that was the issue and that didn't work either.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Try the disable overlay option in developer settings.
[Shield Tablet General] s4shield:
Thanks I tried that but it didn't work. Recording worked great on Lollipop. :( Oh just to mention recording with YouTube gaming works better. It's not perfect either but the videos play back okay with a little stuttering. Just no internal audio.

Update. It seems to be an issue with my SD card. I have a sandisk ultra 64 GB card. I swapped it with the ultra plus I have in my phone and that almost fixed the performance. I still get little stutters here and there but the videos are watchable. If I record to the internal memory by getting the SD card out of the picture it works fine. Although it was still just fine on lollipop.
