I have exactly the same problem. Using Chinese 167 rom. Any advice?
[Mate 8 General] Kramned015:
Good day, I would like to ask regarding the update. Currently I recieved a new update in my updater, but problem is its says that make sure your phone is not rooted before you update. So I totally freaked out since I'm new with this, can anyone help me? Is it OK to hit the update button and ensure that it will be ok and no problems at all? Thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 General] Desertsweeper:
I seek the advice of the many guru's in this thread, which I have read through from the start. My Galaxy Note 4 was stolen and I seek a replacement. The Mate 8 caught my eye with most reviews indicating it is a fantastic phone with one big flaw: the emui interface. Now I am no rooter, having never done this before, but I am prepared to roll up my sleeves and follow the procedures outlined herein. My question is a broad one: will I get a stable android phone that will replace my daily-use Note 4 as a workhorse, or is all this "rooting" something one does on a second handset to experiment with? I just want a large fast stable phone with good battery life and a simple interface (one of the problems I always had with Samsung is their own version of bloatware!). Apologies for what may be a rather stupid question....

Unlocking bootloader and rooting Mate 8 with or witout pc

Hi Guys. Haven't been on here for quite a while as i have been busy. I am about to buy a freinds mate 8 and my customary ritual is to do a little research first on how and if, and how easy a phone is to root...etc. I found this is interesting link which may help with unlocking bootloader and rooting that you may want to have a look at and maybe get some feedback from you guys on. https://devs-lab.com/unlock-bootloader-root-twrp-huawei-mate-8.html

I have no eye deer if the above methods work but they do seem safe so long as a procedures are followed. What is bothering me just a little if i'm honest is that i cannot seem to find an accurate LIST of bloatware for the mate 8. I have seen a debloater which apparently does not require a rooted phone but this is something i instinctivley reject. So if any of you smarter chaps or ladies for that matter are able to find or come up with an accurate list of bloatware for the mate 8 and a list of bloatware that i can delete without ruining the phone.. i would really really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi

As there are only 2 usb on shield, did anyone tried usb hub for it? Does any work?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] banderos101:
Ive got a generic 2.0 hub 4 ports working........pretty sure others work

Although you might wanna google search "shield tv usb 3.0 shielding" or something to that affect, i cant remember the exact details, but i read there may be some issues with 3.0 hubs because the shielding around the 3.0 ports on our shields, was not the best, or non existant, cant remember............issues about "interference"..............like i said, i dont know the exact details..........was waiting to look it up when i decided to finally think about buying a 3.0 hub...........and as im writting this, i think that may be now:D
[Shield Android TV Accessories] copticwalad:
I'm using an Anker USB 3.0 one perfectly fine with it. Haven't tried benchmarking speeds or anything but works fine with my xbox 360 wireless receiver, wired logitech gamepad controllers as well as a regular Logitech K400 receiver (but range does feel a bit weak, not sure if it's due to interference or lower power, but I feel like it's more interference as I had some issues without the hub). I usually use the other native usb port on the shield for charging the remote/controller. Might try a powered usb 3.0 hub later if I find I need to. But this one works just fine powered from the shield.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Kajman:
you didn't try to connect there f.e. 2 hdd and usb sticks?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] OrlyD:
I'm interested in the Shields behavior concerning multiple HDD's on a USB hub. I read in the past that the Shield TV did not support more than 2 ext HDD's through USB simultaneously. This is said to be a firmware limitation and rooting can solve that. I'm not rooting so curious as to whether that limitation has since been officially removed.

I'm looking to try out a Sabrent 4 port USB 3 hub. It's not powered. So how many HDD's can an unpowered HUB such as this one support?

If the hub won't serve my purpose then I''ll just use a couple of USB3 extension cables since my main need is easy access to USB device swapping. Getting to the back of the Shield is kind of a pain.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] mad212:
I use an unpowered usb 3 hub and it works fine. I have it hooked up to the cable used to charge the remote and controller, a wireless keyboard and a 128gb ssd in an external usb 3 enclosure. I am rooted so cant comment on the 2 hdd limitation.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] OrlyD:
Thx for the feedback. Nvidia will be adding a feature that may allow use of multiple ext HDD on the USB ports. Have to wait and see.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Surya Kumar:
Yup

It's nice and at available rate. I am also prefer Anker USB 3.0 one.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] test878:
A bit of an old bump/OT but do you stream 4k over wifi or is it just 1080p? Because my ShieldTV is hating 4k streaming on my 5ghz ac wifi and im not sure what's up.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Kajman:
I am streaming 4k on wifi without problems with only 60-80mbit wifi repeater capabilities (real download speed).
[Shield Android TV Accessories] copticwalad:
My bad for not seeing this until now, and actually perhaps it's a good thing I just saw this because I finally got to try out a true 4K movie over plex and compared it to locally on Nvidia Shield vs USB on 4K TV (Samsung SUHD). I'm gonna talk a little bit about HDR and 4k limitations so far and maybe adoptable storage experience.

Quick Background:

-Nvidia Shield 16gb with latest official 3.0 MM Update, not rooted. Adoptable Storage using 128gb Samsung Pro Plus MicroSDXC (90MB/s read and write).

-Samsung UN65JS8500 4K TV with HDR abilities and HDMI 2.0a

-Networking still currently over 5Ghz wireless ac to Netgear Nighthawk router and also to my Plex Server (with 300Mbps average wireless connection).

-Media samples of true 4K 10-bit encoded in the brilliant x265 HEVC @ 5.2Mbps (comparative to 10Mbps x264) , a 4K HDR sample from Life of Pi

~TV plays 4K 10-bit and HDR perfectly locally on USB 3.0 flash drive, I'll have issues getting subtitles to work with mkv on occasion because of Samsung's media player.

~Nvidia Shield plays 4K and 10-bit perfectly locally on VLC Player and MX Player from both adoptable storage and usb 3.0 drives, keep in mind that adoptable storage cannot be used or even seen on any computer (unless you plan on formatting it) because of its encryption, despite not having PIN or passcodes on SATV.

- HOWEVER, HDR would not work at all as I don't think the update included HDMI 2.0a (which HDR requires). Luckily Nvidia says it can be upgradeable in future with firmware.

As for streaming 4K over wifi, it works perfectly from Youtube but my big test today was for over the network from a pc with a 'native' 2160p movie rather than upscaled and I found the limitation to be the transcoding on my core i7 laptop. I got a warning at the start from Plex denoting that and afterwards it would slowly work but constantly buffer.

-I'm planning on implementing Gigabit wires to shield and tv and possibly back to my laptop but 4K transcoding is very demanding. Unfortunately on the Plex app on Android tv it doesn't give you the option to try direct play but I feel like that option might work to stream without transcoding. I'm going to try it again but from the tv (which has half the wireless speeds but at least the option to direct play from plex).

Really depends what source you're streaming 4K from. I also have 65Mbps internet connection with no issues and even delays when streaming from Youtube or Amazon Prime (on tv not Shield unfortunately).

Since this thread is supposed to be about the USB Hub I'll mention that today I noticed while using adoptable storage and inserting a USB Card reader with another microsdxc in it that the system didn't recognize it until restarting the unit. USB 3.0 drive though would show up instantly and luckily VLC player reads it very nicely and easily.

You're a testing champ boss! I hope you take one for the team and don't ever get a girlfriend or married. :fingers-crossed:

I have a crap load of scenarios to work out when I get home this weekend on my Pro...after I first enjoy a candle-light dinner with my wife and pass a couple of glasses of wine through her and to bed.

PS are you also using something like the SiliconDust HomerRunHD TV tuner for Live Channels or with Plex DVR?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] noobhero:
[MENTION=3047379]copticwalad[/MENTION]

Is your adoptable storage insert via a USB hub?

Meaning

Shield TV > USB hub > adoptable storage.

My drive is formatted by STV already

I was thinking of adding a USB hub in-between it and the device.

Would it work?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] copticwalad:
Not yet but I'm planning on it in a few months whenever I get around to wiring cat6 and coax through my house. Hard to justify cost of strong antenna+homerun when all our family watches on OTA is the news and sometimes major sports like superbowl and nba finals etc.. That might change if rumored products of Antenna Directly to Shield USB Live Channels+DVR comes at good price.

I actually don't use my usb hub anymore, it was good to know it works but my adoptable storage is actually a 128GB Samsung Pro Plus microSDXC MB-MD128DA/AM with 95 Read/90 Write. It's been amazing for over 14 months and I can access it and the Internal Storage of the Shield even when it's in standby from my laptop as a Network drive, not needing to worry about speeds or power. We lucked out cause the 2017 Nvidia Shield 16gb versions don't have microsd card readers (500GB does).

To answer your question: If your drive is either a flash drive or usb powered 2.5" drive the hub should easily power it as long as you're not powering too many with usbpower alone. If it's a bigger 3.5" external hard drive then it will have power + usb and should work as well.

I have a question myself for anyone here. Has anyone used a 3.5" External Hard Drive with the Shield using Power+ USB 3.0 without usb hub. 24/7 with no issues with power or did you have to manually turn it on and off. In other words, does it go to standby power with the Shield while still powered externally? And also are you using it for local playback only or with plex server? I'm debating adding a wd red drive to the Shield for plex local playback instead of going with the costly route of a real NAS without the transcoding power and expandable storage.

Also in case anyone ever has an issue with a flash drive not being seen by the Nvidia Shield, remove ES File Explorer. It very awkwardly prevent my Shield (running Nougat) from seeing or opening a flash drive even in Nvidia's settings. I uninstalled it and it works perfectly now through MX Player. I prefer Solid Explorer as File Manager, even on Android tv, worth the cost.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] wheels01:
So I bought a thermaltake external HDD dock for about $40. It's USB 3.0 and I'm running my Plex Server out of it. It's 6TB drive. It's self powered and does not sleep. I was hoping that the Shield would recognize both drives at the same time but that didn't not work. I'm not routed and don't know if after I root it will recognize both drives at the same time.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] makapav:
I'm glad I can give back a little to the community.

I hooked up a 6 terabyte external Western Digital hard drive which is powered on its own through an external power adapter. Next I hooked up another 2 terabyte external Seagate hard drive similarly powered externally. Since I am not as rich as I would like to be, they are both traditional 7200 RPM drives instead of SSD. They are both USB 3.0 and plugged into the internal USB ports of my Nvidia Shield Pro 2017.

My Nvidia Shield has no problem detecting both the drives and I use x-plore (https://goo.gl/UKuRRT) file manager to do operations between them.

Do larger Drive contains all my media for access my Plex and once again I have no problems accessing this media through Plex and playing it back locally or across the network in the house.

Recently I moved to 6 TB external drive into a USB 3.0 hub because I have to connect other devices to my Nvidia Shield Pro. This drive also contains all my Plex Media. I can confidently say that both these combinations of configurations for both the USB 3.0 drives work simultaneously and I'm able to move file to cross the drive and also use Plex against media stored on both of them.

got a 7 port usb hub and 7 Hard Drives Connected (8TB, 5TB, 3TB, 2TB, 750GB, 2 500GBs on one 2 Bay Enclosure) to the Shield using it and no issues on the local network or the Shield all files are accessible and blazing fast ) I recommend the

TP-Link UH720 for best performance.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] RaT33:
I have a Shield TV 16GB 2017, rooted, and have a 4 port usb (non-powered) hub connected to the first usb port (next to hdmi port). On this hub I have a flash drive as adopted storage and a 8TB hdd as external storage.

My problem or annoyance is the hdd can't be seen when accessing from PC sometimes even when shield is awake although I can see adopted flash and browse it. I usually have to reboot to see it.

friend.evil you have 7 hdd's on a usb hub are they accessible all the time even when shield is asleep?

Do I need to move my hub to the 2nd usb port and put the adopted in the 1st port.

Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

Nvidia Shield w/ a USB 3.0 Hub and 6 USB Drives ?

Last post above was someone that had 7 drives working... will this work in 2019 as it prolly has a new OS ? My last box (chromePC) with kodi 15.X worked using 5 drives... I tried a Zidoo box and only 4 USB drives work so im thinking of getting the Nvidia box as Ive got 5 FULL 8TB drives and need to add a 6th ! but wanna make sure before I get a shield as its costly... thanks in advance :)
[Shield Android TV Accessories] copticwalad:
While you could probably use USB 3.0 hub with the Nvidia shield for all those hard drives what I'd highly recommend is connecting all those hard drives into a NAS connected to your router or connecting them to pc or putting them in a desktop. Gigabit connection from hard drives (NAS or PC) to router. Gigabit to shield is a plus but wireless ac is plenty fast on it if it's not too far.

The point of all this is Nvidia shield has an amazing setting to attach any NAS or network shared hard drive as local storage. In fact you can use it with the Nvidia shield Plex server so you can stream your videos anywhere (as long your not transcoding hdr or 4k) it can handle it.

Adding maybe 2 physical hard drives to shield is practical, but anything more and it's more advantageous and convenient to just add network storage and access it as I'd it were connected directly. It's so reliable, I use my PC hard drives with Plex over wired network and watch almost every day on shield over wireless ac with directplay . No issue even with 25mbps hdr 4k with subtitles even.

Reason I don't want hard drives connected to shield is 1 hard drives are insanely sensitive to drops falls etc.. and I got my nephews and kids around and can't risk that with all the playing around. I also am not certain on how good power control is from Android to hard drives in terms of standby and run time. From windows 10 and my programs I monitor hard drive health and set up when hard drives can sleep etc.. it's quite advantageous to get lower rpm high endurance drives . If you're not watching anything on say 3 of the hard drives for months then I'd recommend just keeping them disconnected and off until you do need it. All hard drives eventually fail so at least try monitoring it's health (I use hd sentinel) keep minimal heat and dust free environment and when buying making sure to go with high quality ones with longer warranty (not to use as they don't cover data recovery just replacement) but as a testimony to it's quality. Wd red and white labels for longevity desktop drives. I prefer seagates for 2.5" mobile portable drives.

Backup any data regularly that is irreplaceable. Set it on a schedule even.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] transam9901:
WOW !! Thanks so much on the reply copticwalad !! As you may have read in the original... I had a OLD CHROMEPC that had kodi 15... had 5 External USB's all on a 3.0 Hub... I upgraded to a Zidoo Z10, but its android and only 4 drives show up ! (it has 18.2 Kodi on it...)

But good news for me.. your post... I have a Asustor 6210T NAS, that has 2 USB3 ports and 2 USB 2 ports... ASUSTOR told me I CAN connect a HUB to it and all 6 drives.... but I was leary on doing that because I wasn't sure on speed... the ASUSTOR NAS has Dual gigabit... and then I use the ASUSTOR to backup my KODI Drives to (the ASUSTOR is 80GB)… I just wasn't sure on the speed from the streaming box over the gigabit lan to the HDD's... I know how to do the network smb on the KODI did it on 15 :) Thanks again so much for the suggestion/insight... ill try it :)
[Shield Android TV Accessories] copticwalad:
Yes that Asustor NAS is very capable and impressive itself and Gigabit speeds are plenty fast for 125 megabyte per second streaming. I believe dual gigabit are for backup network connection rather than simultaneous.

You can use that NAS as Plex server as well along with Kodi etc.. but the way to use it with Shield directly if you needed it is in Storage & Reset and "Mount network storage."

It will recognize all available network storage by hostname and local ip address including properly set up SMB and NAS. You also option to manually add it with domain, user and password.

One of my favorite shield features is ability for shield to be NAS on network too so you can attach it to any PC and see entire system and adoptable storage. So you can both setups if u want. I personally have 2015 shield with 128gb fast microsdxc in it and have it set up to auto record the shows from my hdhomerun and share on Plex with my network. I love it's low power always on tegra processor even on standby so it just works. I stream from PC which is usually on to it with Plex directly play as it's so good I never had need to do attached storage. Other reason too is I had issues with Plex transcoding 4k 10bit to some iOS devices (direct play very limited in older devices) so I choose to keep it with my PC
[Shield Android TV Accessories] transam9901:
Thanks on the reply again ! :) ok so here is updates (lol)…. # 1 I called asustor back weds and they said I could hook up a generic usb3.0 hub to the asustor and I can add 6 external drives.... well that didn't work !! I tried TWO USB hubs.... no drives showed up ;(… Drives work individually plugged into ASUSTOR NAS and show up... but not w a powered hub... so Im lost there ;(

So I went back to option # 1 (lol) Just dropped like $409 on a used/excellent condition nvidia shield (kinda maybe going back to or hoping from a few other users that I can do my 6 externals :) ALL are the SAME... SEAGATE EXTERNAL 3.0's 8TB ea... (remember I had 5 of them working on my OLD ChromePC Kodi 15.X box :)

and the newest box (Zidoo Z10) w/ Kodi 18.2... only 4 worked....;(

Prolly first and foremost best to have a nvidia shield :) Secondly then I can buy if needed some different hubs if its a compat issue.

And I also believe your 100% correct the dual ethernet (actually it has 4 ethernet gigabit port/jacks... on the ASUSTOR is for Link aggregation.... (in which I have a ASUS GT-AC5300 router :)

So Nvidia shield is going to be here Monday :)
