I flashed latest OTA over existing MM with 2.8.7.1. though, not explicitly 3.0.0.0 needed.

Send from my Shield Tablet
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
Which zip file did you flash? Im on 5.1.1 rooted with TWRP 2.8.7.1

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Where is the latest zip located?
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
1. As written I used the Ota zip itself I received.

2. Go 1 page back
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
Oh I see. I thought you flashed the one from the first page. Are you still rooted?
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Yes, flashed in twrp after ota latest SuperSu. That takes care of systemless root.

I still don't understand how you did that. Mine won't let me use the ota they push.

Is everything working properly for the stock OTA update?

So I received the notification on my tablet a little while ago that it was ready to be updated. I found quite a few people having issues with the wifi but nvidia says it was fixed and it appears it was. Has it gone smoothly for everyone else? I figured I would check before I do the update.

Thanks.
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
I flashed with no problem. Had to crab the latest supersu and flash it. All is well. Oh the SD card is not getting recognized. Not sure what I need to do.

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

Is that why the SD card isn't recognized after the update? The files are there. Should I back it up and than format it in the device? Which is the better option?
[Shield Tablet General] snukkums:
hmm that is weird I should probably make sure everything is updated in my backup before I do this, thanks. Did you tell it to treat your SD card like internal storage?
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
Has anybody installed xposed framework? What is the correct version?
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
It also can't do that, it says it failed, any other ideas?
[Shield Tablet General] p3dboard:
Has anyone had issues with TWRP (both Experimental and 3.0 build) where it can't format /system or /cache? I have been running Android 6.0 fine on the shield tablet, I did a backup tonight before trying out the latest build of the 4.0 OTA update. After doing the update, I kept on getting an error that Nvidia Shield controller had crashed if I tried to adjust bluetooth or Wifi, so I thought I'd try a factory reset, but the format of the /cache seemed to hang. So after about 5 min, I power cycled it and went back into recovery. Then I tried to format /cache again and the same thing happened.

So next I thought, maybe its TWRP 3.0.0, so I flashed back to the experimental build of TWRP but its doing the same. I have tried restoring my backup, but it then tried to format /system, and now its just sitting there trying to format /system.

How long should a format take? On my other Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, the format is very fast in TWRP (only a second or two). Any help would be appreciated.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Never mind, i just had to be patient, the format takes a long time, i have successfully restored my backup. I might try a clean install another day to see if i can overcome the wifi toggle / Bluetooth toggle issue with the shield controller app crashing

ARM v80 sdk23
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
Thank you. I think I installed the wrong version and ended up in a bootloop and had to flash original firmware and so on. That was a pain. Did you wipe cache and dalvic
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
no wipe during install, but the install will trigger a rebuild of the Dalvik / ART Cache
[Shield Tablet General] SGE_DEW:
I'm afraid of flashing it again. I think this is the same version I used before.

Hey guys!

I'm a freshman here. :o

So I have a Q about what if I previously flashed the Unofficial MM for Original Tablet. (here) How can I go to this original version of MM? I tried that I simply installed the zips via recovery but I got a fail. ( at the nvidia logo the tablet always restarted)

Thanks for your help!
[Shield Tablet General] BC BO:
No USB recognicion

I took the OTA upgrade on a stock WiFi tablet yesterday (Feb 22) most everything works but it won't allow USB read from A computer and won't take recognize a micro USB flash drive? Any suggestions? Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
By Default every time you connect the Tablet running Marshmallow to the PC it will be in Charge only mode. You have to enable MTP to be able to access the files each time it is connected. At least that was my experience thus far on 6.0.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
If you want to change that, there are xposed modules you can use to set the default to something else
[Shield Tablet General] BC BO:
Thanks zarish and gqukyo. There's a config in dev options I changed...seems to work fine now. I'm still having probs with the light sensor however. The tablet now has to be turned off manually with the button as the cover no longer activates or deactivates the screen.
[Shield Tablet General] h4ck54w.sense:
think you have to flash the original recovery images or maybe only the blob and update 2 mm
[Shield Tablet General] Sess:
Bummer. I flashed the OTA over my 5.1.1 pyrotab install using twrp 2.7.8.1 successfully. Flashed nomoreota.zip and then supersubeta. Thought i was good to go. Tablet booted after about 5 minutes to first install. Had a completely broken framework, no quick toggles and no home and multitask buttons. Got a little scared, flashed twrp 3.0.0.0 and formatted data and media. Rebooted into marshmallow with the same only back button. After initial setup, everything looked normal. Almost sh*t bricks there. Just thought i'd share in case someone tries to flash the OTA dirty and ends up in the same boat.
[Shield Tablet General] f3liC:
Haven't been messing around with my devices and its been a while. Currently have a lte edition w/ blisspop 4.0.3, TWRP, custom kernel, and all that jazz. If i flash the OTA zip that was posted several pages back, will I have any issues with it booting up? I remember for my OG shield I was running stock with an unlocked bootloader/TWRP, I couldn't just simply take the OTA. Had to flash recovery to stock or something like that before the OTA would install.

Trying to just go back to stock because I want the controller support
[Shield Tablet General] f3liC:
Went ahead and did a dirty flash and boy did I regret it. Booted up on MM fine but lost my home button and recent apps button. Wanted to do a factory reset to start from a clean slate anyways but now I can't boot back into recovery to do a factory reset. Flashed TWRP and says successful but I still can't boot into recovery no matter what I do. Any ideas anyone?

[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Ok, I did some testing yesterday. I posted this pretty much verbatim on NVIDIA's forum

Found some real issues, and maybe some useful information.

I did a few tests and already see a pattern here in my tablets.

Battery

- Number of Tablets Tested - Results

Y01 - 2 - 1.2.1 or 3.1.1 or 4.0 Works on all versions reliably WiFi stable across versions.

B01* - 3 - 1.2.1 Works reliably, 3.1.1 occasional slow WiFi starts and/or restart necessary for WiFi as many have reported and would occasionally forget known access points when WiFi returned, 4.0 NO WiFi with MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00 for almost all boots/wakes/activate WiFi attempts with occasional single working boots and almost every time forgot prior known access points.

I do not have any tablets that show as 'B01' only 'B01*'.

I find it highly odd both my Y01 tablets work reliably on all versions but all 3 of the

B01*

units have issues in 3.1.1 and almost totally fail in 4.0.

Now I'm going to try and see if I can find a way to get the B01* units to work reliably on 3.1.1 and 4.0. For 3.1.1 seems harder to test since WiFi works most of the time with just occasional slow starts and or a simple restart fixing it while being rather intermittent (comparative to the rarely working 4.0).

Anyway, those with non-functional WiFi and/or WiFi issues might be interesting to see what your tablet reports as for Battery.

As for builds under test 2 are full recoveries and only 1 upgrade:

NVIDIA ver - MD5 - Filename

1.2.1 - 213c8df7c506abc623479b32426d6ddd - nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-lte-row-update1_2_1.zip

3.1.1 - 34a915e7d1c28c29df11fb45a916268e - nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-lte-row-update3_1_1.zip

4.0 - fddb13006f2ebde4c03dc825d2d68db9 - productionBL-droid-signed-wx_un_do-full_ota-41524_664.1902.20160211085325.zip

Procedure was to use TWRP to back up the tablet under test to be able to restore when testing complete.

Restore the Full Recovery via flash-all fastboot session.

Complete Setup (including WiFi when possible)

Tablet set to keep WiFi on when sleeping only when plugged in, but tablets were not plugged in during testing.

Semi-Random usage, waking, sleeping, toggle WiFi, toggle airplane mode, power on/off, reboot, hard reboot of the tablets over a period of a few hours, noting if WiFi worked and if it turned on fast (within a few moments) or really slow (notably a minute or more) or not at all.

In the case of 6.0 the upgrade was done after the full recovery for 5.1.1 and had been restored, then recovery was used to load the update from the zip, an additional test was done during one attempt to take the 6.0 via WiFi but the result was the same as loading via recovery).

Some may say these result are irrelevant as my tests were done using the LTE RoW ROMs on LTE US devices. I will just choose to disagree with such dissent since the hardware is the same and the pattern is clearly not at the RoW versus US level.
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Just a little follow-up.

Based on a post by Mister_E on the geforce forums I tried NVIDIA 2.2.1 Android 5.01 and NVIDIA 3.1.0 Android 5.1.

WiFi worked on the B01 units on 2.2.1 (Althouth that version caused the systems to run really hot {so hot I was unable to complete Antutu on them reliably).

WiFi did not work reliably on the B01 units running 3.1.0.

At this point I have a clear break in when the WiFi works and when it begins having intermittent and worse issues.

So far not many have reported their battery version and WiFi reliability. The current tallies I have stand as:

Battery Type - Count - Status

B01 - 1 - No WiFi issues.

B01* - 4 - WiFi Isues.

Y01 - 2 - No WiFi Issues.

I am beginning to feel this is the real reason the old OTAs and old Full Recovery packages were pulled. I think those of us with B01 batteries that have tablets showing as B01* need a proper recovery that will restore the tablet fully before it will ever function right again.

Anyone using 128GB sd cards? I switched to one from a 64GB and now I can't write to the new one. I had no issues with the 64GB one. I can't format it to Fat32 through Windows. I know there are tools to do so for higher capacity cards but I was wondering if anyone's using 128GB+ cards and if they have any issues writing to them in the stock MM builds and other MM builds. I've tried other MM builds and the results vary but in short, I can't write to it. Going to try NTSF to see if that'll work but I don't recall native support in Android for that.
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
Shield has support for NTFS. Vankog did some testing and found NTFS is actually faster for writing on the tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I just formatted it to NTSF and I still can't write to it. What file managers are you guys using? Oh and that's LP build it was tested on.
[Shield Tablet General] cyraxx84:
Try to rename it after formatting in your pc. Something like Shield SD or so..
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Not sure how changing name will work and of course it didn't, I just went back to LP. Only wanted doze from MM but I'll take bliss for now.
[Shield Tablet General] topcat36:
I may be mistaken but write privileges to the external SD are taken without root. Is blocked since KitKat and up.

Sure with a custom ROM, is possible.

Hi guys! I just have some newbie questions regarding my plan on upgrading my pyrotab (32GB LTE) on MM. Just bought my pyrotab from someone who RMA'ed for replacement. rooted and applied nomoreota.zip, currently running stock rom, android 5.1.1

1. How would I know if i have a US LTE or RoW LTE pyrotab? Is there any indicator in the settings menu that indicates my what region my tab is? (Sorry, i know this is a noob question, but i hope you guys would still help my anyway.. )

2. Is it safe to flash the RoW LTE if my pyrotab is a US LTE and vice versa? Because I am using it here in the Philippines.

Thank you guys in advance for helping a noob like me! :good:
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Yeah but I had it working before, not sure if it was one of my xposed modules but whatever the case, I'm done playing with MM on my shield until that's sorted out along with LTE. Happily using LP for now. Lol
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
if you look in /system/build.prop the ro.product.name variable will tell you a little

wx_un_do = RoW LTE

wx_na_do = US LTE

my understanding is the hardware is identical for RoW & US LTE so either can be flashed. i may be behind the times, but i think only the RoW version has been release and available for folks to install.

the ro.product.name will align with the last version flashed to the tablet so may not align with the original firmware.

i'm running RoW LTE on my US LTE tab with no issues. in this case, the ro.product.name now shows as wx_un_do
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
hey drewski_1 your post helped a lot! Thanks dude! will flash the Marshmallow RoW LTE on my pyrotab this weekend.. Cheers!

[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
I would like to know if i could do it this way before i proceed, 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] drewski_1:
you can do this all from your current recovery flashing the Full OTA. the new custom recovery is only needed once you have the MM Bootloader (and i'm not sure if the new works with the LP bootloader)

that said, make sure you have backups of your Apps & Data.

it may have been because I was on the hacked K1, but had issues flashing the Full OTA with missing Nav buttons. a Factory Reset fixed things (didn't lose data, but had to restore all apps).
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
So, flash full OTA and then flash SuperSU and it should be good?

I read on another thread that for some ppl those navigation buttons were disappearing but if you flashed a US LTE with RoW LTe rom and the fix was run this cmd, either connecting with the pc or running in the terminal of the tablet:

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
hi w0rtez, this is also part of my worries in installing MM to my pyrotab. Do i need to flash first the updated TWRP v3.0.0.0 by romracer? Then flashing the Full OTA LTE (RoW) Update 4.0 and then flash the Super SU v2.65 by chainfire.

BTW i will be doing a clean wipe, before flashing anything else. This will be done on a Pyrotab 32GB USLTE stock and rooted. And big thanks to drewski_1, always been helpful to me. :)
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
Just let me know how it goes, and don't forget to get rid of the TegraOTA from the recovery...
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
Yes I will. but the TegraOTA is in a different folder in MM, it is in system-priv/app i think.. and will not connect my pyrotab to internet unless tegraota still exist in my tab. How about you, when do you plan to flash? :)
[Shield Tablet General] w0rtez:
Still waiting for feedback from battery duration and how it performs because right now its been good with the last LP 3.1, at least its stable and give me an excellent battery performance...

So just to be clear did you get a stock recovery for US LTE tablet using the ROW LTE images? did you fastboot the bootloader and blob?
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
you will, of course, have the ROW LTE ROM's stock recovery, but stock recovery is stock recovery in terms of functionality. not sure exactly what you're looking for :confused:

and i fastbooted the whole 4.0.1 update . . . you need the new bootloader for MM. iirc, the blob is the bootloader :angel:

I have a OG Pyrotab US LTE 32gb running stock rooted Lollipop 3.0 and just want to Confirm:

From TWRP version 2.8.xxxx do NANDROD backup, copy it to somewhere safe, wipe EVERYTHING, flash nv-recovery-st-wx-un-do-4.0.1.zip which will update everything including bootloader and recovery, flash new unofficial TWRP 3.0.2-0 from romracer, then reboot to RECOVERY which now would be 3.0.2-0, flash root and remove tegraota from TWRP file explorer which now is located at /system/priv-app/ and we are good to go?

The part I want to confirm the most is that one cannot flash 3.0.2-0 until after doing the update / restore to 4.0.1 due to new bootloader.
