I mean is it possible that we wont recieve the switch due to updated Firmware ofc I will not try that hehe
[Shield Tablet General] aznmode:
Will this work on the LTE version?
[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
Tested it on a pyrotab and the killswitch DID NOT activate!
[Shield Tablet General] IKOB3AST:
It does. I do not believe LTE will work though.
[Shield Tablet General] Nailyouh:
Thanks for being that brave haha I just have a pyrotab so I wont do it :b fear is stronger then being courios in this case :angel:
[Shield Tablet General] aznmode:
That's ok I don't use the LTE. Only reason I have the LTE version now is for the 32gb
[Shield Tablet General] Paharsahath JG:
Thanx man! This seems intetesting. Is possible to revert to previous system configuration via nandroid backup twrp?
[Shield Tablet General] Nailyouh:
No cuz u would backup the whole partition but u can use ie. Titanium backup for the appsettings and stuff works great IMO :good:
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
Got it. So in theory if I try to do this to my US LTE version of the Shield tablet it might not be compatible?
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
in theory yes, but in practice i'm running the RoW version on my US LTE tablet with no issues.

there have been some posts that the hardware is identical and i think i remember some posts that LTE was working AOK too (i don't use LTE so can't say from personal experience)
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
And there is where my problem lies, I intend to use LTE so I i'd like to find out firsthand if it works before I actually do this. I wonder if you can test the LTE out for me. Thanks again. Nice to see a fellow bay area native around here.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yes it does. I've used it and it works fine at least on T-Mobile but it it works on Tmo should work on Att as well.
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
Good to know. Thanks for the info.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
+1. i'm not on a compatible network. just got the LTE for the greater internal storage :p
[Shield Tablet General] xonix240719mu:
Anybody have had the problem of missing toggles from quick settings ? The mobile data toggle disappeared when I turned on the tablet this monrning. I haven't been able to restore it despite doing a factory reset.
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
try this, using adb from your computer or using terminal on your phone:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
You have photos of your about screen showing network and stuff?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Can't now. Went back to LP cuz I couldn't get write permission for external SD so didn't want to keep MM for now. All I did was add Project Fi's APN and set it on that and it works. Connects to Tmo LTE just fine. Dunno which band I was on though but does say LTE.
[Shield Tablet General] xonix240719mu:
No effect, it activated the wizard for setting up a new device but after going thru it, nothing changed.

Still missing the mobile data icon.
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
Thats weird, that fixed a problem similar that happened to some people, usually those who had a US LTE and used the RoW LTE rom. These were the steps to follow:

For US LTE on RoW LTE rom:

* Flash the rom

* Reboot to system

* Connect to PC (or maybe open Terminal Emulator if you have it installed)

* Run the following in adb if on PC

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

* Do what you can, reboot, and finish if it fails or crashes on the first attempt.

* Reboot
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
Is there a fix for the sd card issue?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I couldn't get it to work with either exfat or ntsf formatted cards so I gave up and went back to LP.
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
hello guys, does anyone know I indicate how to upgrade my old Shield LTE recalled to MM, without incurring kill swich? precise that currently has lollipop with root and notegraota installed. thank you.

Omg It worked ! and Its original thinny bob WOW

thank you thank you thank you
[Shield Tablet General] Greenarcher707:
Can someone re upload that flashable MM Rom for the LTE Shield?
[Shield Tablet General] KnieveI:
Flash the blob problem (SOLVED).

Hi.

Im trying to fastboot flash staging blob.img . But in terminal it says "waiting for device".

Anyone had this problem.

When i press Volume + power i get to a menu that says my serialnr. And press power select.

Options are continue ,fastboot protocol, recovery mode, reboot etc. Is this fastboot permissible state?

Cause when i select fastboot protocol ,it just boot back to menu.

Cant figure out what i do wrong?

Is it any other way to flash the blob or uppdate to 6.0?

EDIT!! Found out i was missing Nvidia adb drivers.

I was in the right direction. Now im stuck in "failed no such device or adress" when i try to

fastboot flash staging blob.img .

When i type fastboot devices my serialnr. shows up so its connected.

Edit2.

For some reason after trying to flash blob multiple times (the same way) , it suddenly was flashing ok.

Rebooted into bootloader with cable attached might helped.

Thanks

Hi, I'm unable to write on system is on read-only mode.... How can I fix this?
[Shield Tablet General] eurominican:
OK.. Im flashing the 4.0.1 update for a pyrotab through fastboot.. Once its done I flashed TWRP and deleted TegraOTA and did backup. The tab boots up fine and setup works and all, but when I reboot to fashboot to flash the rooted boot.img and reboot to the setup screen, there is no LTE / tab says theres no sim card installed **FML!!!!!!**. Its definitely the boot.img causing it because as soon as I flash the stock boot.img the LTE signal comes right back.

I really want [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] root and not superSU .. Help please!!

Im going to try one last time from zero without deleting tegraOTA to see it thats why the LTE disappears (wish me luck it doesnt brick my pyrotab :( )
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
It sounds more like the rooted boot is for the non lte
[Shield Tablet General] PMrjn83:
Is it possible to also include necessary files to go back to lollipop? I grew tired of having no LTE on my device. Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Hello,

Is there an Android 6.0.1 version for Original Shield Tablet (not last K1)?
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
HOW?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Hi,

got a problem. Flashed the Rom via the first post, everything was okay.. But i need my LTE so i wanna go back to lollipop.. and here it begins:

everytime i flash no matter what stock firmware, my tab is getting stuck in bootloop. Can't do anything with it except trying over and over agai nto flash another rom via fastboot..

i can't even get into the recovery....

How can i completely revert back to lollipop? Looks like something ****ed up my partitions.
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Not sure, but I think you're right. I have a Wifi OG Tablet that I've flashed with this tuto. I've tried to go back to Lollipop but same thing as you. No more TWRP recovery...I can just access to Bootloader.

So, i think we have to redo the same thing as initial post but with the good blob, recovery, etc... in the same order.
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
hi,

i already tried that without success...
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Have you tried starting by "flash Staging Blob" or terminating with "flash Staging Blob", and using this files (only files not his procedure)
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
Ok,

it works again... please check your bootloader if there's any information marked as [undef_build]

i downloaded the update 2.2.2 and flashed it via fastboot.. seems that the tegrax.x.x.x.x_battery.dtb fixed it... why? i dont know but now i can got intor recovery and flash and wipe like normal.... good god, took me a few hours now
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Indeed... my bootloader mentions [undef_build]. But I haven't understood what you do exactly. Can you add some details... or better, a step by step way... ?

Regards
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
as soon as i found out that i've got this [undef_build], i

(changed my imei via fastboot writeimei <- dunno if thats important, i just did it)

1. downloaded the stock firmware update 2.2.2 wich containts the battery database called "tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery". (this is important to flash the battery.dtb)

2. i then just flashed the 2.2.2 recovery via fastboot, including the battery database and then after

3. rebootet into the bootloader, everything looked normal.

4. (optional) then i cleanwiped every partition within TWRP and installed the stock firmware 3.1.1 again... works without problems.
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Ok. thanks, but in my case this a Wifi Only Tablet... so there is no IMEI. And for the battery database, not sure that it's the same than for the LTE Tablet. And same thing for 2.2.2 recovery. Not sure that this is the same update.

Where did you find all these files?
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/stock-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881

just download a firmware for your wifi model wich contains the tegra.............battery.dtb and flash this.. you'll be able to flash another rom after that.

point is to be able to get into custom recovery wich wasn't the case for me before i flashed that.

after that, you can flash what ever firmware you want.
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
That's ok. But in may case, I already can access to TWRP Custom Recovery. but when I flash via TWRP a ROM, after flashing Tablet don't boot anymore. I can just access to the bootloader.

So I think this is not the same problem... Don't know. :/
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
hmm ok, maybe not the same problem...
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Can you just tell me which fastboot command you used to flash the full OTA on your tablet? forget that.

What is this file "tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb"? We need it for what? forget that too.

Well... it seems to work! I don't know neither why nor what happened each time i've tried but today I succeeded to flash Recovery files! I'm now with update 4.0, Android 6.0. No need to flash "tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb", just Recovery 4.0.1. The only difference is I haven't used the "flash-all.bat" file, I have typed each command myself!
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
Nice! Happy you ;)

i will try to flash the official recovery (not the OTA) now too. Hope it works.

Do you flashed TWRP too? Does it works?
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
What I did:

I've downloaded the Official Recovery 4.01 for my Wifi Tablet, extracted it and flashed it via Fastboot commands without using the "flash-all.bat file". Just using commands manually. Which are:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash staging blob

Then rebooted the tab, plugged in my PC and enabled "USB Debug".

After, I have rebooted under Bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader". Then I flashed the "old" experimental TWRP Recovery (2.8.7.0).

then booted on it and flash SuperSubeta.zip.

After that, I've booted to system and install "xposed 3 alpha 4.apk" and finally rebboted to TWRP to flash frameworks for xposed ("xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip")...

All work fine now and I have the right version for my Wifi OG Shield Tablet.

(FYI, on the bootloader screen I always have the [undefined_build]. and same thing for my other Shield Tablet (K1, this time). but all is running fine).
[Shield Tablet General] Enzlaved:
where can i found that old experimental twrp 2.8.7.0? does it have any input lags?

i need booting into twrp before i start the tab to avoid the shutdown by TegraOTA.

ok. flashed it manually, flashed twrp, installed supersu via twrp but then.. bootloop ;)

screw it, going back to lollipop.

thanks for the help anyways
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Experimental TWRP can be found here

Yes there is some lags but it will be used only for a few minutes.

I'm not sure to understand why you want to boot on TWRP to avoid shutdown by TegraOTA?

In my case, I have a PyroTab too (with Y1 battery), only Wifi. Wifi is OFF at home. So for you, don't set up Wifi on the Tab and don't insert SiM card for LTE.

The only thing that is not the same between us is that you flash the "battery". My bootloader is always [undefined build]. I don't think there is issue by booting on your system normaly without any connexion.

What I've done is, downloaded EsFileExplorer.apk and injected it to my tab. Then by according root rights to Es file Explorer, I've renamed "/system/priv-app/TegraOTA/TegraOTA.apk" to "/system/priv-app/TegraOTA/TegraOTA.apk.old". You can install ES file Explorer (or file manager you want) by typing "adb install YourFileManager.apk".

I think you have a bootloop because you haven't booted on your system after flashing full Recovery.

As I mentioned, I have flashed Full 4.0.1 Recovery with fastboot commands. Then I've booted on system. And only after that, I've rebooted with "adb reboot bootloader" and flashed TWRP and accessed it to install SuperSuBeta.zip (don't forget to select Read Only on TWRP. You could cancel it by pressing MOUNT button on TWRP Homepage).

So you download the 4.0.1 RoW (If this is a non US Tablet), unzip all in your fastboot directory and flash manually in the same order that it is in the "flash-all.bat" file.

You could try that... no?

Let me know.

Regards
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
in practice you have brought the system to its original state, using firmware 4.0.1 (instead of 3.1) released by Nvidia. then you rerun the root, by once again TPWR and superuser apk ota and renamed the file. right?

[MENTION=7251748]gluca78[/MENTION]:

1. I've just flashed with fastboot commands full recovery 4.0.1 (RECOVERY file, not OTA file!) using manual commands, not with the "flash-all.bat" batch file. (all commands are in the batch file... just use it manualy in the same order).

commands are:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash staging blob

2. booted on the system without setting up nor WIFI connexion neither Google Account (so no connexion was possible). The first boot is really long. Be patient watching the NVIDIA Logo ;)

3. rebooted to bootloader via "adb reboot bootloader" and flashed TWRP with fastboot commands ("fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img").

4. installed "ES File Explorer .apk" with command "adb install YourFile.apk" (I had downlaoded it on my PC previously)

5. pushed SuperSuBeta.zip on sdcard with command "adb push supersubeta.zip /sdcard/"

6. Rebooted to TWRP recovery and installed SuperSUBeta.zip.

7. Rebooted to System and with ES File Explorer with root access, renamed "/system/priv-app/TegraOTA.apk" to "/system/priv-app/TegraOTA.apk.old" (you can delete it if you prefer)

Optionnal => install xposed

a. install "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk"

b. reboot to recovery and flash "xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip"

c. reboot to system.

Sorry, what's the actual version of "version software tablet SHIELD" you got after the flash? I have 4.0 (24.3.66.39), and MRA58K.41524_658.5732 as build number.

Not sure if this is a prerelease of MM or the re-release :S

On my Pyro tablet build number is MRA58K. 41524_664.1902

Software version is 4.0 (24.3.66.43)

It seems your version is not the last one.

Hi Everyone,

I am having troubles finding the rooted boot image, as the link at the first page says Google Drive cannot find this file. Does anyone have the link for the rooted boot image or can point me in the right direction ?

I appreciate the help. Thanks,

JCE
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Maybe there was a Google Drive trouble because I've just tested the link in the first page and downloaded the rooted boot image (named: boot-su-eng.img)

The link mentionned is working fine. But you should use the non-rooted boot image and root the tablet by yourself at the end.

Regards
[Shield Tablet General] jce2005:
Hi,

thanks for the reply. Now I got the rooted boot image....Well, my tablet is rooted, so why would I use the non-rooted image ? What's the difference between the two of them if I don't need the rooted one ?

Thanks again,

JCE
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Hello (again ;) )

When i've tried this tuto, like you I used rooted boot image, but with this image, you should use "phh's SuperUser" at the end. I don't like this app to manage apps that need Root. I prefer SuperSu. So I finally used the non rooted boot image to install, at the end, SuperSu.

That's all. But the 2 methods works (I've tested it).

So to conclude, it's just because I don't like "phh's SuperUser" that I've not used Rooted Boot image.

Did you flash the new NVIDIA 4.1 sofftware upgrade ? It seems like Exposed is not sticking..... after reboot ( with or without wiping cache and dalvik ) Exposed is not running...... was fine with the 4.0.1.......
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
No, I haven't upgraded my tablet with last OTA. No time for the moment. Maybe I will test it this WE.

But on the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 (the new one), I already use Marshmallow 6.01 and Xposed framework is working fine. So it should work on OLD Nvidia Shield Tablet too...
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:

[Shield Tablet General] jce2005:
[MENTION=1446721]Kasimodo[/MENTION]

Well, before I upgraded to 4.1 I made a TWRP backup..... then I flashed the FULL approx. 726MB upgrade file via TWRP and after rebooting, I noticed Exposed Framework is not active. No big deal, so I thought, went back into TWRP recovery and flashed Exposed and rebooted. Well, Exposed still didn't run, so I tried a few other things :

1. Flashed Exposed, Cleared cache, then reboot

2. Flashed Exposed, Cleared dalvik, then reboot

3. Flashed Exposed, Cleared cache and dalvik, then reboot

After each above try, rebooting took very long ( up to 10 - 20 minutes ) and either Exposed was still not active or I got into a bootloop..... After getting out of the bootloop, tablet restarted but I had no root..... Very weird behavior.

Then I restored my previously made TWRP Backup ( with NVIDIA software version 4.0.1 ) and after the first reboot, everything was working perfectly, had root and Exposed and all modules were working.

There must be something with the new 4.1 software, that Exposed doesn't like and causes weird boot problems.

Can you think of WHAT could cause the problem and whom to contact to solve it ??

Thx,

JCE

PS: Make a TWRP Backup before you do anything !!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Xposed works for me. Just updated through full OTA RoW LTE, flashed xposed 82, booted back up and everything from xposed works fine.
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
Someone has a link for the full WIFI OTA?
[Shield Tablet General] jce2005:
[MENTION=2141550]gqukyo[/MENTION]

How exactly did you flash the 4.1 Full RoW update ? Did you automatically let it do it, or did you manually selected and flashed via TWRP ? Did you clear any cache or dalvik before or after ? After flashing the upgrade, did you immediately flash Exposed or did the 4.1 first boot up ? Also, did you let TWRP install SuperSU or did you do it by hand ????? BTW, I was using Exposed v84-sdk23..... maybe there is a difference between 82 ( you used and 84 I used ).......

Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Manually updated it with the full OTA zip file. Flagged that and xposed and SuperSU 2.71 in one go, booted up and everything works fine. My guess is you have a module that's not compatible so try to disable all modules and see if you can boot into the system.

Just tried xposed 84 and works for me with all my modules active. Thanks for letting me know there was an update to xposed. Lol
[Shield Tablet General] Kasimodo:
[MENTION=1892545]jce2005[/MENTION]

I've just tried update to 6.01 on my Wifi Only PyroTablet with SuperSu and xposed framework, and all is working fine.

How I have upgraded:

1.a. Copy to a fresh formated MicroSD card (not the one you usually use) BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip, productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-40827_700.6895.zip and nomoreota.zip (last file only if you have a recalled tablet)

1.b. Copy to your usual MicroSD card xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip

2. Power on your Tablet by pressing Power button and Sound down button.

3. On Menu, choose Recovery Mode

4. On TWRP, tap INSTALL, then choose productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-40827_700.6895.zip, then swipe to install (don't reboot!!)

5. After upgrade installed, go back to TWRP Menu and choose INSTALL then BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

6. After installation completed, if you have a Recalled tablet, INSTALL nomoreota.zip

7. After installation completed, choose REBOOT and wait for boot.

8. Power off your tablet, change your MicroSD card to first one you usually use. Be sure to copy xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip on this MicroSD card.

9. Boot to TWRP and install xposed-v81-sdk23-arm.zip

10. Reboot

All should work!

Thank you so much for your suggestions, but it seems I got it working before I could try your suggestions out.

What I did :

1. In recovery I flashed the "Xposed Uninstaller", wiped dalvik and rebooted

2. Then I uninstalled Xposed Installer

3. Rebooted into recovery and installed Xposed Framework v84-sdk23

4. Rebooted and once up, I installed the Xposed Installer apk, selected my two modules ( Gravitybox and One++ ) and rebooted again, all seems fine now.

Thanks for helping, you guys are awsome. Thx
[Shield Tablet General] jce2005:
Done !!!! Both Shield tablets are updated to Android M...... One with stock and one with Bliss 6.3 ! Everything running good and no noticeable lags....... However when running Antutu Benchmark, it seems the stock ROM is a bit better than the Bliss ROM...... I bet there are some tweaks in the Bliss settings or Kernel settings to make it run better, but there are tooooooo many settings I don't understand, so I left them alone for now.... Maybe later I can tweak them.....
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
Maybe one of you guys could help me out...

I have asked this before but i would like to know before i could proceed, I would like to know if i could do it this way, if im rooted, could i just flash the new custom recovery TWRP-3.0 then flash MM 4.0 OTA and then SuperSU, doing all that from the recovery itself?
[Shield Tablet General] jce2005:
Nope, you need to have a computer since you need to flash the new "blob" first via fastboot............then you need to flash the recovery via fastboot.... I did it exactly as described in the first post.... works just fine, but you need a computer with "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" installed
