The provided sd fix didn't work for me either, utorrent still wouldn't touch my sdcard even with a 100 foot pole with a screwdriver attached.
[Shield Tablet General] domon07:
Jeeez man! This is dangerous (for us with pyro tab)! I dirty flashed it and after the first boot, my wifi is still turned on. And as i checked tegraota, the file is still there. I turned off my wifi but it's not turning off. I just forget my connection to disconnect it from my access point. I removed tegraota immediately but i'm scared of turning on my wifi again. I might just clean install this rom when i got time.
[Shield Tablet General] ImpulsePie:
Well no issues for me after flashing the OTA zip provided earlier, after a full restore to 3.1.1. Just had to re-flash SuperSU to get root properly working, and as per previous software my 5Ghz wifi still does not work at all. No issues on 2.4 GHz though. Definitely confirming for me that it's a hardware fault with my tabket.
[Shield Tablet General] cyraxx84:
It works for me in 6.0, format it as ntfs and rename your SD card in something like ShieldSD or so, should work. Tried with es and solid explorer and im rooted. But in 6.0 you can also use the Explorer in the settings, this worked even without root.
[Shield Tablet General] Dashwood Foxe:
Tried either, apps that aren't file browsers that allows me to download files from the net at custom locations on your sd like utorrent will refuse to write anything outside their designated containers in /android/data. Throwing up a system error saying "this version android cannot access beyond this folder, blah blah"
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
Its not dangerous if you know you have the pyrotab then you shouldn't even be running stock for that's a chance you are taking
[Shield Tablet General] cfisher:
Updated pyrotab and replacement with Harfainx's zip. Both are rooted and running smoother than ever. Thanks for posting. Really appreciate it.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
have you tried with TiBu? i can't get it to write to the External SD, even with XinternalSD or Foldermount :(
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yes, everything works. For TiBu, you need to select the right storage provider in preferences.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
thanks!

just found that option. completely missed it yesterday!
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I remember when I ran into that problem, it was so aggravating. Glad I could help.
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
Nice.. So it's safe to flash it on the pyrotab? Does it fix the kill switch?
[Shield Tablet General] domon07:
did you remove the tegraota after flashing?

it's not, you have to turn the wifi off or turn airplane mode on first before flashing then remove tegraota. Or flash the tegra ota remover straight away after flashing.
[Shield Tablet General] cfisher:
Flashed the nomoreota zip after mm.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
I thought the TegraOTA wasn't present in Marshmallow and thus wouldn't be removed by the nomoreota.zip? It's SystemUpdates.apk now.
[Shield Tablet General] domon07:
It's still present in this update and the nomoreota.zip is also updated with the correct path of tegraota in lollipop and marshmallow. I have a pyrotab running this update with tegraota removed and i can still use it online. I hope nvidia doesn't have any hidden weapon that will mass destruct our pyrotab any time soon.
[Shield Tablet General] romracer:
The version in my thread is updated and working.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Huh. Weird. Well, I'm not too worried since I didn't update my pyrotab with Marshmallow, I kept it on stock KitKat since the Chaos Rings games don't work on any Android above 4.4.
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
My pyrotab plays Chaos Rings III smoothly running 5.1.1.. :)
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Well, III works on Lollipop, the other three do not.
[Shield Tablet General] cyraxx84:
Hey, was there a New update from N'vidia? Because im Running now since Saturday the official one which they took back. And it runs great even Wot Blitz stoped crashing like it happened sometimes on 5.1.1
[Shield Tablet General] craigmoly:
Thanks Harfainx for creating the zip , I appreciate u :) , I'm having an issue downloading the file tho I've tried downloading it loads of time with download failed every time ?

Edit: I used chrome on my desktop PC and it downloaded fine , I'm now running thanks to your zip.

For anyone who'd like to know mine is a recalled wifi tablet I got from a friend , firstly I turned off wifi and clicked forget on my network then enabled airplain mode ,then booted to recovery and wiped everything except internal and external storage , then ran the ShieldMM_RootedTWRP.zip , let it boot skipping the WiFi set up , then rebooted to recovery and flashed the nomoreota.zip from here http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489 . then rebooted and set up WiFi ,everything is running perfectly for me ?

I updated my build actually.

Now it comes with:

Stock Rooted

TWRP 3.0 (with thanks to [MENTION=2476451]romracer[/MENTION])

Removed TegraOTA

Should be an all-in-one zip now. Handles everything ;)

[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
Is this wifi only or does it handle the LTE US tablet too?
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
That specific zip is for WiFi. Updating for LTE should be simple, since I didn't modify the rom itself.
[Shield Tablet General] topcat36:
I have RoW LTE tablet. Can you make a zip that has all needed for my tablet also ?

[Shield Tablet General] kalinskym:
I would love to install Marhsmallow on my LTE version without rooting, but I'm afraid that wont happen for a while.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
Have you tried the ROW LTE OTA zip? The official one that's been linked in this thread vs. the pre-rooted one?

There's also the instructions for flashing the K1 1.0 update onto the OG Shield Tablet in Fastboot. I think you may need to unlock your bootloader (and there is a battery drain issue with a semi-workaround), but root is optional there too.
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
Should have its own thread , might get more traffic , and thanks for the zip I installed your original zip and love it might give this one a go also...great work dude!
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
No need if you have the original. The only difference is the new twrp, and removal of tegraota. I think I will make a thread for them though. I can put together builds for the different versions.
[Shield Tablet General] craigmoly:
Now that sounds like a plan ?
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
I made a "RoW LTE" update, but I need someone to test, as I don't have one of the tabs for it.

Same as my other zip though.

- Android 6.0

- Stock Rooted

- Removed TegraOTA

- TWRP 3.0.0

Someone want to test it out for me? I'm positive that it works fine, but I don't want to post the zip until I can verify.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:

Awesome, so how does it run? Will my games be MM compatible or should I uninstall and reinstall? Thanks...
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
The RoW LTE doesn't work for Project Fi so those of us with Project Fi can't use it. It won't activate. Guessing cuz it's RoW... Lol. Just gotta wait for the official version...
[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
Awe man, I am still locked, I just found out. So should I boot into fastboot and unlock, loose everything, then push TWRP and SU over or is there a better way now? I wish I had unlocked back when I rooted. Anyway I am on LP 5.1.1 rooted with TWRP. Thanks in advance for the help guys.
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Project Fi is based off the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile works fine with the LTE RoW ROM, but you have to have the DATA Only SIM from T-Mobile. I imagine just as is stated here you need a DATA Only SIM for Project Fi as well; because the standard SIM will not work for these devices on the T-Mobile network as used by Project Fi. T-Mobile has the Shield classed and locked as DATA Only devices (took me 3 or more calls to T-Mobile to find that out and then get the right SIM out of them when I got my first Shield).

At least it should work. What issue was being experienced and was it with a DATA Only SIM, or one just popped out of a Nexus 6P/5X/6 and then stuck in the Shield?

FWIW, T-Mobile is set up annoying as a double system. Devices get classed either phone or DATA only. Using a phone SIM in a DATA only device will have the device get blocked at the DATA Tier even if the LTE connection is all working it will repeatedly send to setup page when trying to use Data. Of course if you use a DATA only SIM in a phone then T-Mobile blocks access to the Voice services. Customer Service on the first level is not always aware of this setup (as they can at the front end tag any device as a Phone or Tablet, but that does NOT affect the backend treatment of the device). The only thing that affects the device is the setting on the backend level from their own master classification list, which does not have to match what the rep does on the account.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Just doesn't work. Project Fi activation fails and tells you to call them. Entering the APN alone doesn't work. Just cuz it supports Tmobile doesnt mean it'll work. It's works perfectly fine on LP roms so it could be related to the certification Nvidia mentioned. I'm in no rush so if anyone else gets it to work with Project Fi with the app, let us know how you did it.

*edit Just for kicks, I tried it again since there was a new release of twrp (hated the buggy and slow initial release) and Tmobile data is fine. Project Fi's app just gives off an error about the sim card for some reason so can't use the app. This also obviously means you must already have an activated Project Fi data only sim to be able to use it with the RoW LTE version of the rom.
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Interesting, so it is the app/WiFi binding/tunneling system that does not work and the activation through that. It could indeed be some of the Marshmallow changes.

Also, my apologies for misunderstanding. I was unaware you already had the DATA SIM and had things working previously on Lollipop. That certainly narrows the issue greatly.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
No harm done, appreciate your responses. At least it works now. Lol

I have a US LTE tab that received the OTA before it got pulled. Is there a way to pull the update from my tab? I know its downloaded somewhere, as I still have the notification that prompts me to "Tap to Update"
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Local\NVIDIA\App\OTA should be it.
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
Can you pull the link for it? It should be under /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/. Then it's in one of the xml files. I don't remember which one it is though. I would like to get access to the US LTE build.

Battery Drain bug i have found on Row Lte stock rom. I was away on holidays and put my Lte Shield tablet into flight mode. On restart after powering on with flight mode enabled, i was getting huge battery drain. I installed wakelock detector over a WiFi connection and found that the data connection service had about 170,000 wake events in about 10min. Toggling the data connection switch under settings stopped the wakelocks and huge battery drain. Every time i powered off in flight mode it would do it again. Looks like some sort of loop causing the wakelock with data connection services

Is it just me or is doze not working?
[Shield Tablet General] koven:
anyone having problem with formatting bigger sd cards than 32 GB as internal storage
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
:D

Doze is working, but something could be wakelocking the device. Download the wakelock detector app from the play store, and in settings enable show system services. I assume you have root access, as you will need this for it to see system processes. That's how I found what was preventing my tab from going into deep sleep with the data connection issue and draining the battery

[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
Any one tried the US LTE zip file posted here?
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
This isn't the US LTE (wx_na_do). This is the RoW LTE (wx_un_do).

Identical MD5 to one from the ROMs thread and from NVIDIA for RoW LTE OTA 4.0 A6.

Check the target in the updater-script.

If you pulled that from your device or used it on your device, and your device was a US LTE at one point, then at some point & now it was & is flashed as RoW LTE.

Yes and no. I flashed one identical to it. :)

It is not the US LTE though. That is the RoW LTE.
[Shield Tablet General] DPilot:
That's interesting, I was stock (US LTE) and getting the official OTA updates pushed to my device. Didn't ever flash RoW files. The file was pushed to my tablet via official OTA on Feb 2 and I pulled it straight from my device.
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
Not sure how maybe your device is ROW LTE from the start and you just thought it is a US LTE, maybe if you post a screenshot of your baseband version.
[Shield Tablet General] cyraxx84:
Good news people, nvidia just brought back the 4.0 ota update with fixed wifi (they say so). So for everyone who wanna enjoy marshmalow the official way can do that now via ota.

Yesterday evening I received (I am on MM 6.0 already) an OTA message that upgrade to 6.0 could be downloaded.

Did that, moved upgrade file to ext storage location, flashed the OTA in TWRP, flashed latest SuperSu with systemless root and back on track again.

Although I had no WiFi issues all again works very smooth.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
Hey I've downloaded the OTA and want to flash it as soon as I get home. Which TWRP version are you running? I found sometime in the previous weeks TWRP 3.0 and I read about people using a beta version of 2.8.something? (I could be wrong about the version number of the beta). Which should I use? I'm currently using 2.8.7.1
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
2.8.7.1. Will do as well as 3.0.0.0.

[Shield Tablet General] clawwulf:
Hi, does anyone have the full EU WIFI Rom Android 6.0 re-release from yesterday?

Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
I think the EU is the same as the US version. But I live in the EU so I might have gotten this one if it makes a difference. I can pull the OTA from the directory where it was downloaded if you're interested. Let me know if you want me to, and I can upload it to Mega and share the link
[Shield Tablet General] clawwulf:
Thank you very much for the tip. Could it install as per the recovery!
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
I'm not sure, I meant to flash the one I downloaded from here. But it's a zip file and I think it's about the same size as the one from the link in a post above. So do you want me to upload it? (Let me know cause my connection is slow and it'll take a while :P)
[Shield Tablet General] compuguy1088:
What would be great is a md5 sum on zip's.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
I'm new to all this, I have never uploaded a rom for someone on XDA before but I have seen people adding md5 sums with their uploads. But if I have to be honest I dunno what it is or how to make one (or find it if it already exists)

____________________________

Alright, so I had a burst of inspiration and tried something, I think I found the md5 through ES File manager? Here it is: fe06a1f2c1e8ddf5ffbb69b153bdef67

I'm also attaching the screenshot to see where I got it from cause I might have done something wrong
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
Guys I think I need help. I had TWRP 2.8.7.1, tried to flash the new OTA for the Wifi model and something must have gone wrong. I did a factory reset and flashed the full OTA, then flashed SU and rebooted. I waited for about 20 mins and it was in the booting screen with the Nvidia logo and I turned it off to boot into recovery, wipe it and try again. It seems like it's back to stock recovery and I don't have TWRP anymore or something? Any help? Can I sideload the OTA from my PC perhaps?
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
The stock ROM overwrites your recovery. So, yes, you have the stock recovery.
[Shield Tablet General] thugsta1:
Obviously if you flashed the new OTA it would flash over your current recovery as it includes it in the package & will need to reflash custom recovery via flashboot again if you want to back.

On a side note, can anyone create an all-in-one again similar to the 1st page version that includes the re-released 6.0 (nvidia 4.0 update) with TWRP & removed TegraOTA, we would be ever so grateful.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
Ok, can you guide me through flashing it via fastboot or give me a link with instructions?

------

Actually I'm intending to follow instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/stock-recovery-images-ota-library-guides-t2988881, but I need some help in how to install the drivers cause otherwise I can't use fastboot right? There's no specific instructions there to install the drivers (unless your tablet's on so they install automatically) and I need them to use fastboot commands, right?
[Shield Tablet General] thugsta1:
That guide is fine. For the drivers use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 or this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
I'm sorry to bug you again, I suppose it probably is the last time. I am not very familiar with command prompt so if you have the time tell me how I should phrase this: Enter the command 'fastboot flash recovery <filename>' where <filename> is the path to your custom recovery image

So the file I want to flash is "twrp-3.0.0-0-shieldtablet" and the path to it is: C:\Users\Yuri\Desktop. I want it typed correctly so that nothing goes wrong again (although I think command prompt simply did not understand me if I didn't type the command correctly).
[Shield Tablet General] Gilbot:
The easiest way to do it is just to put that recovery file you have on the desktop in the folder where fastboot is, then your command will be:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-shieldtablet.img

Then, once it writes, reboot back to the bootloader with

fastboot reboot-bootloader

The tab then reboots back to the bootloader. Then if you want to boot into recovery and flash SuperSU or xposed or whatever select recovery using the volume rocker on your tab then push the power button.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
Nevermind, I figured it out and I have custom recovery but I am seeing a very troublesome message when I try to do a factory reset. Any ideas?
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
your partitions looks messed up. maybe your 4.0 update file got corrupted or was just a bad flash.

you could reformat Internal from the Wipe menu and see if that helps.

if that doesn't help, you might try reflashing the 3.1.1 Factory Image and then a redownload of the 4.0 update.

[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
After I received the Ota on my tablet I flashed it by TWRP dirty over the existing MM 6.0 and kept the TWRP recovery.

That is also how Nvidia set up the ota in the fist place. So no need to wipe!

When I look in the official update ota zip I don't see a recovery there so it won't flash a stock recovery. It updates only the boot loader and the system partition.

Are you sure you used the right Ota zip from last week?

This new SD-card method in marshmallow is kinda strange. Because if i format it as internal storage i can move apps and games to sd but no other files, i have a lot of roms for emulators. But if i format it as portable i can move files with my file explorer but cant move apps and games. Is it maybe anyhow possible to make sd card visible in file explorer while it is formated as internal storage??
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Actually the bootloader change requires a change to recovery which you were already running since you had a MM install already.

The partition changes and boot changes necessitate changing the recovery when going up/down between A5 and A6.

There are 2 different recoveries necessary now:

A4.x - A5.x - Requires a Pre-Marshmallow recovery (TWRP) - Current recommendations: 3.0.0-1 from lj50036 or 2.8.7.1 from romracer

A6.x - Requires a post Marshmallow recovery (TWRP) - Current recommendations: 3.0.0-0 from romracer (former recommendation was Steel01's experimental TWRP for Marshmallow).
