[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
Thanks for the tips, I had TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it didn't want to flash, updated to 2.8.7.1 and it worked great, Flashed SuperSu 2.67 straight away as well. I purchased my Internatitonal LTE model off ebay, after it arrived I found that it was a model sheduled for disposal by Nvidia and if the Tegra OTA goes it will flash the bios that will brick the tablet, so I then went and removed the Tegra OTA via ES Explorer root access from the /system/priv-app area straight after first boot.

How do I go about flashing TWRP experimental? The tablet already had TWRP 2.8.6.0 installed when I got it, and they had removed the TegraOTA from the /system to prevent it from being disabled. Do I need to install some drivers on my PC (adb drivers?), or is there a way to flash the TWRP image without a PC?
[Shield Tablet General] silvercat:
If you have root access then you try flashing with Flashify
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
You can term flash by fastboot

Send from my HTC One M9
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
Actually, i just checked and what i did was originally after flashing the ota, i flashed supersu and then i flashed twrp experimental straight away, but i hadn't checked twrp. I found that the experimental twrp had actually replaced the stock recovery, so no need for flashify. Thanks for your reply though.
[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
This is awesome!

Just making sure you updated the LTE US Model to the LTE International

Is there any way you can post how you did it step by step?

Thanks !
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
Yes i have update the US LTE model While you are still on the 5.1.1 with twrp v2.8.7.1

1. Boot into twrp v2.8.7.1

2. Do a Factory reset

3. Flash the ROW LTE zip

4. Flash the beta supersu v2.65

5. Then reboot it will take a little long to boot since it is booting like the first time then enjoy

Optional (if you want xposed)

6. After flashing supersu flash xposed v80 sdk23 arm

7. Reboot

Disclaimer:

You will lose the orignal recovery you but don't fret you can fastboot the lastest beta recovery twrp here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24345424848487676

Now if you have the recall tablet even after flashing nomoreota.zip or removing the tegraota the system update is still there. I have no info if the nvidia can still send the urgent OTA which can kill the recall tablet update at your own risk.
[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
Super Thank you!!! You're awesome :)
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Does the LTE data actually work from flashing the row LTE version? I know the LTE bands are different and while supported bands cannot be added, they can be disabled in software so I don't want the row LTE version to disable the LTE bands we need in the states.
[Shield Tablet General] romracer:
LTE data works for me. The Cellular Networks shows AT&T (2G/3G/4G) and T-mobile (2G/4G)/
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Well, in that case, I'm going to try the row version. Hope it works with Project Fi
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Project Fi is only for Nexus 6, 5x, and 6p.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Wrong. I'm currently using it on my OG Shield. Just had to enter in the h2g2 APN. Worked in stock firmware as well a CM12.1. It's a data only sim so that's why it works. I only did it after AndroidCentral confirmed it worked.

Oh and it obviously only connects to T-Mobile's portion of Project Fi as the tablet isn't CDMA.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Oh, I know it works on T-Mobile. What I meant was is that switching towers doesn't work, if it even switches at all. Data may work on some devices, but I hear calling has issues.

------------------------------

Is there any way to enable write permissions on the external SD card without formatting it as an internal? I want to be able to transfer files to it from PC and still keep my TB files and movies on it.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yeah it def wont since no CDMA hardware in tab. I couldn't get calling and txting to work on it but I haven't looked into it since the sim was data only anyways.

For write permissions on sd card, I always use XinternalSD (an xposed module) but I think either Stickmount or foldermount (forgot the exact names of the apps) has options to enable it if you have root.
[Shield Tablet General] levizx:
So it doesn't work. You are essentially using it as a T-Mobile data-only service with Project Fi pricing - which is entirely missing the point of Project Fi.

It's like owning a Mac but only using Windows.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
And that's exactly what I need it for, Tmo data only with the Project Fi pricing. Beats paying even the $30/5gb plan when I don't even use that much. I've been using Project Fi with my 6p and every time it uses Sprint, I get crappy service and I end up manually switching to Tmo when I need it to work so I'm essentially using Tmo service anyways. I like the pricing and used Project Fi for interest free payments for the phone as well, but I digress. This is not about Project Fi but about the the update. Didn't get a chance to update to row LTE version but if it works as said, I'd be a happy camper.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
And I'd gladly use MacBook with Windows only. Love the hardware, hate OS X. Lol
[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
Well I followed your instructions and it worked! I downloaded twrp from the source, the twrp link you sent me didn't work after flashing for some reason.

LTE works up here in Montreal, Canada

Calling works

SMS works

Got around 8mbit down 2mbit up

So far no wifi problems or any problems whatsoever, flashing ROW on the US works like a charm. Only issue I can't get twrp to write to my sd card.

Thanks again
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Well, at least I am not alone in noticing that the Original Shield Tablet N4.0 A6.0 M ROMs removing TegraOTA does not disable/remove checking for System Updates (at least not in the N4.0 A6.0 M LTE RoW (I have not tested others as I only have LTE)).

Thank you for the confirmation.
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
Yeah and it checks update every once in a while as long you are connected to wifi or data, I wish someone can find a way to disable that update. I am thinking maybe we should just swap the system.apk of 5.1.1maybe that will get that system update out but were gona lose some option of MM
[Shield Tablet General] swaaye:
I just get a Uninstaller app and remove System Updates. That might not be the exact name but I don't have my tablet on hand at the moment. Of course you need root access.
[Shield Tablet General] rusty.gh:
There is a few steps but I did it.

(this is all other peoples work, and I thank them much.)

first go to this thread: Marshmallow staging blobs

once you finish all that, take your time, we have two options CM 13 by Temasek

or Bliss by Team Bliss. (both threads in Shield Tablet Android Development.)

When following one of those you need a gapps package, all the ones they both linked gave me installation wizard failures. I used banks_gapps_6.0 from High on Android Here.

I'm running Bliss v6.0 for Shield Tablet, and this tablet has never worked so well!
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
So I made a flashable zip to update for the WiFi US model.

Allows an update from the old build to MM. Retains root. Retains TWRP.

No WiFi bugs, no ambient sensor bugs so far. Everything went super smooth.
[Shield Tablet General] ALooneyGuy:
Care to share with a fellow Shield Tablet owner who would love to be running rooted MM?
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
I preferred to have the official update for the full features Nvidia, otherwise if you can not rest at 5.1.1 lollipop. If there is a safe way to upgrade to MM avoiding the kill switch would be happier. I have a pirotablet europe LTE version.

[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
Disclaimer: Not my fault if something breaks. This is the STOCK ROOTED image for the US Wi-Fi model. If you're using the experimental recovery, DO NOT let the screen go to sleep (turn off timeout in settings). I had hanging issues when trying to wake the screen up.

- Must be unlocked, running TWRP already (obviously)

- Flash in TWRP

- IGNORE the "No root found" when rebooting - It's already rooted - It doesn't matter if you do it or not.

- Reboot System

- TWRP is still there! No need to flash anything else after

- Welcome to rooted Marshmallow goodness

- I haven't found any issues with Wi-Fi or sensors, or anything. Working perfectly for me.

If you need to reboot to recovery, you'll have TWRP.

Remember, this is totally stock, but rooted. This is just meant to save you some work.

[Shield Tablet General] Boom King:
No issues so far with WiFi on a stock shield but I am getting intermittent popping from one or maybe both of the tablet speakers.
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
I'm on rooted lollipop with twrp, all I have to do is data factory reset and flash?
[Shield Tablet General] AMoosa:
I had TWRP and root and xposed on 5.1.1. I installed 6.0 via TWRP using the official download. I have now lost TWRP and can't get it back on! Any pointers?
[Shield Tablet General] Harfainx:
If you flash the zip I posted, you can just flash. Wiping data will make you lose all your apps and such. I didn't wipe data, just flashed over L.

You can find that information in the thread. Look for info about experimental twrp.

I can't get your package to download. Tried from phone and computer. Any ideas?

edit - working now. 5th time was the charm ;)
[Shield Tablet General] Pawnty:
Just used Harfainx's zip on mine, worked perfectly. Thanks for making it!
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Didn't work as well as I'd hoped. ROM Toolbox's Root Browser works, but Titanium Backup does not have write access.

Well, it IS cheaper than T-Mo or AT$T.

OS X does suck, seriously.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
What didn't work? XinternalSD with xposed?. I'm going to be mad if it doesn't... Lol
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
Xposed available for mm?
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Yup.

Yes. Search for Xposed and download v80 sdk23 ARM version.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Hmm, when I tried it with the Wi-Fi version of MM, it worked fine for me.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
That's what I'm using, too. Titanium Backup works?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yup, make sure you select change the storage provider in preferences to the document provider storage or something to that effect. It's the option that is android 5.0+. Then ensure you show sd card and you should see your sd card and select the root directory or wherever your back up dir is located and that's that.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
I did that, and selected the folder, but "USE THE CURRENT FOLDER" is greyed out and unselectable.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
You can try to let it detect it from root
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
That worked!
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yeah it was a pain in the ass for me and I almost gave up until I finally got it working one way or another. Glad it helped.
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
Odd thing is, after I rebooted a few times, I noticed about 10 or so of my apps were mysteriously uninstalled. Has this happened to anyone else?
[Shield Tablet General] damian34:
Anyone trying to flash via cwm and root with killswitch. What i should do?
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
huh?
[Shield Tablet General] AMoosa:
For those trying to root and xpose after installing stock MM, you have to do the following (assumes you have adb and fastboot drivers installed):

1 - Enable Developer Options by tapping on Build Number 7 times

2 - Go into Developer Options and enable USB Debugging

3 - Download the twrp file from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24345424848487676 copy it to the adb folder and rename it to twrp-exp.img (for simplicity).

4 - Copy the 2 files attached to your tablet

5 - Plug into your PC, open a command prompt, go into the adb directory and type in: adb reboot bootloader

6 - The tablet will boot into bootloader

7 - On the PC, type in: fastboot flash recovery twrp-exp.img

8 - IMPORTANT - DO NOT REBOOT On the tablet use the vol down to go the recovery option, press power, then it will boot into TWRP

9 - install the zip files using TWRP

10 - Reboot. Done.
[Shield Tablet General] sorenjul:
Hi

Theres no reason to flash that buggy recovery if you are only going to use it to flash supersu. Just type fastboot boot exp-twrp.img and your tablet boots to recovery.

\Sorenjul
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
I'm already on mm and have root and twrp , but the twrp I'm using ATM won't let me flash anything what one should I be on? thanks in advance
[Shield Tablet General] aaronne:
Oh man, already full of these posts everywhere, point n°7 is wrong besides you must enter the exact "recovery" file name (that I expect is something similar to "twrp 2.8.7.0 .experimental version to works with MM bootloader) and superSu is at 2.67v at moment.

Thx for all, Regards
[Shield Tablet General] AMoosa:
What is it a repost of? None of the others have a step-by-step. And step 7 is correct, if you had read all of the post properly. Lol :D

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

What version are you on? Try flashing the experimental one.
[Shield Tablet General] chispas117:
I'm on 2.8.7.0, so I'm assuming I'm just gonna have to flash it through adb?
[Shield Tablet General] AMoosa:
Yes, through fastboot..
[Shield Tablet General] rusty.gh:
You can't just go from 5 to 6 with a flash zip, you need staging blobs.

check out this thread. Marshmallow staging blobs
[Shield Tablet General] AMoosa:
I used the method I described, with no staging blobs whatsoever and all is working fine. I am only stating what worked for me. YMMV.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
so i just installed this onto my non-Pyro / replacement tab (replaced the K1 original MM battery suck version i had installed previously) and noticed a difference with & without TegraOTA installed.

first boot, the Setting menu item read "System Upgrade" and opening it had a green / nVidia look to it.

went into TWRP (not rooted yet) and deleted the TegraOTA. going back into Settings now shows "System Updates" and opening it has a blue AOSP look to it.

Download the experimental TWRP and flash it via bootloader from PC.

Those are only necessary when using the UnOfficial Modified K1 image on the Original Shield tablet. This thread is for the Official OTA N4.0 update to A6.0 on the Original Shield Tablet. Shield Tablet OTA from 3.1.1 to 4.0 works fine. Well, as fine as any NVIDIA update (works for some not others, etc). I had no issues with it myself, my WiFi is working.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can use any root file explorer to stick the apk into /system/priv-app/, then reboot and it'll install itself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josianjehu:
Okay this what I'm going to do

1. Extract apk from the stock viper 5.0 to system/priv-apps

2. Go to recovery flash the zip

3. And boom it should appear

Correct me if I'm wrong
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just sticknit into /system/priv-app/ and save it. then just reboot and it will install itself.no flash needed this way.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josianjehu:
Doesn't let me put files in that folder and I did put it in read and write
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sounds like you don't have root, or just have partial root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josianjehu:
That's strange cause I am able to use light flow for my notification light which uses root
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josianjehu:
When I tried editing the build.prop it said I didn't have enough space even tho I have 20 gb left of storage
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josianjehu:
Does installing cm help with all this?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i know, google did it on purpose. to fix that delete whichever system apps you dont use. and storage has nothing to do with system space. system space iz held in a seperate partition.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustaBowla:
Same problem here. My understanding after doing a lot of research is that with the boot-loader locked we can not root using CF-Auto-Root. So currently and for the foreseeable future you, I, and all the other lucky souls with the SMN-910V are screwed! Verizon are bastards and that is about all I have to say about that...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerfex:
No root

There is not permanent root for the retail Verizon Note 4. Nor the AT&T Note 4. There are still developers working on it. It is that the boot-loader is locked and in the boot loader is a verifying routine/program call DM-verity. It looks for a key or something ( i am not programmer just a power user) and with this routine and verification process, if the key is not found you can not write to the /system directory. It is in read only mode. With out the System directory being writable, you can't have root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
I believe the boot loader on the Verizon S4 was also locked, but it was still rootable. I still have my S4 from before I got my Note 4, and there was a way to root it. I basically kept it stock, with the only notable difference being the hotspot icon in the notification panel. I'm not sure how it was done, but maybe, and I understand this is a BIG maybe, someone could look into how it was done on that phone and do something similar with ours. Like the last user in the last post, I'm no programmer, just someone who loves Android and still gets plenty of use out my phone, even though we can't root it yet, so I apologize if I'm way off here. Possibly just grasping at straws:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndyRoadie:
A simple search of the Forums will show you many posts stating that the Note 4 does NOT have Permanent Root. Only the Developer Edition has Perm Root.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CojonesDeToro:
The note3 has root, and is very similar to the Note4. I was lucky enough to sell my retail Note4 when it was new. It sold for almost what it cost for the Note4 Dev edition. Nowdays, when I see a dev ed Note4 go up on Ebay, it goes for $500-$900. This might be the last phone I buy for a long time. Honestly, if I can't get a phone with a replaceable battery, mSD card slot and root, then I might as well get an iPhone. At least Apple is able to keep Verizon from putting uninstallable crapware on their phone, and they do a good job in curating a good user experience.
