I'm from Czech Repiblic so I would say world wide. Anyway one guy frim czech I'm following on G+ works in Nvidia and says its server issue and their OTA team is working in fix.
[Shield Tablet General] Zuko365:
Is there zip file of ota 4.0???
[Shield Tablet General] Mathman85:
So after the update, my tablet slayed my cat, sh!t on my work laptop, and then smacked me in the face before running out the door.

Actually, it's fine. Connected to wifi just fine. I had a notification that I had to update Google Play Services even though there was no Google Play Services update, but that just went away (guessing it updated in the background). Will post again if I find any issues.
[Shield Tablet General] ou2mame:
I'm still getting an error and its unable to update after a successful download.
[Shield Tablet General] Blaszkson:
Can you send .zip file with update ? Thanks a lot ;)
[Shield Tablet General] mailis:
Was hoping to find an update.zip, but will wait for tomorrow when the US is in bed ;)
[Shield Tablet General] Mathman85:
Does the update zip get deleted immediately upon installation? If it doesn't, let me know where it is and I'll be happy to upload it somewhere.
[Shield Tablet General] Blaszkson:
Just make dump image of the /system partition
[Shield Tablet General] Lord fiSh:
ah the same post on the geforce forums ;)

Should be in /cache, but if you are on 6.0 its gone...
[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
Thanks mate, it seems like it's fixed on my end now, "Your system is up to date" is now set.
[Shield Tablet General] ou2mame:
Well now it's telling me that I'm up to date, but it never installed marshmallow. Go Nvidia!

After refreshing it repeatedly I tricked it into operating! Only took like 4 hours to download and get it to install
[Shield Tablet General] mailis:
Someone at Nvidia rebooted a server, it started downloading at full speed just a few minutes ago
[Shield Tablet General] ou2mame:
My wifi is fine btw.. No issues with anything. Just trying to upload my SD card contents to merge it into system memory.

[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
Thank you!!!

Anyone know if I could flash this on the US model? I don't care if LTE works or not.
[Shield Tablet General] JohnK71:
Thanks. Can we flash this in TWRP and is there any pre-requisites? I am rooted and didn't know if I should just take the OTA download then try to re-root and update TWRP or just use this and install in TWRP.
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
Im using a pyrotab.. Ill be glad to patiently wait for some geeky guys here to examine the contents of the update to check for the dreaded killswitch command.. :)
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
So for those who successfully installed the update any news on the tegraOTA.apk can you still remove it and halt the kill switch? If I have root will I be able to install the update through OTA?
[Shield Tablet General] sockusminimus:
I'm on it. Will know in a day or so.
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
Can someone dump the stock recovery for this rom? TWRP kept itself on the tablet and I can't seem to find it in the OTA zip file. I'd like to return to stock till all the root stuff for it is out of beta.

Never mind! I just went back to 3.1.1, updated to 4, then relocked the bootloader. :)
[Shield Tablet General] j4rp0:
tried to flash the ota zip from some post above, wifi version, also flashed supersu and nomoreota.zip... didn't worked at all, had to flash 3.1.1 recovery image...
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
If you're rooted, then the OTA wouldn't work just like prior updates. You also risk losing custom recovery after update. That is why I'm waiting for a goflashable zip. Lol
[Shield Tablet General] scorpionx:
Actually, TWRP flashed it just fine, everything except the recovery, rooted and all.

Root didn't carry over of course.
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
To clarify, I meant the OTA auto flash won't work unless you don't have custom recovery.
[Shield Tablet General] kyleruggles:
I had to read this over twice lol, so basically it will only work with stock?
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
No you can flash it through custom recovery but it won't download and flash on its own unless you have stock recovery.
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
I reverted to stock again fastboot the recovery images of 3.1.1 and it is telling me I have my system up to date, I have US LTE version. Anyone already updated the US LTE version?

Update: nevermind saw it on the NVIDIA site US LTE is still pending for carrier certification that sucks was so exited that I reverted to stock

[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
Will probably install this tomorrow - can anyone confirm that the stable TWRP versions continue to work with the original Shield or do we need the experimental version that was used with the K1?

SuperSU beta v.2.67 (or newer) will be required for root. I'm assuming TegraOTA is in the new location as well.

Hopefully my Wi-Fi won't (intermittently) cut out again like some others are reporting. With OTA 3.1 or 3.1.1, I experienced the Wi-Fi problem - OTA 3.0 (and prior) is flawless with Wi-Fi though..
[Shield Tablet General] Gilbot:
Boooo I was hoping for 6.0.1 for new emojiiiiiiiii ?
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
Hi guys! I need some help. I downloaded the flashable zip for the wifi version and I want to flash it with TWRP. I'm aware of the flashing process but I have gotten a little rusty. First of all, if I want can I only dirty flash the update over the 3.1.1 or can I wipe everything and flash it on its own? (I've been meaning to do some cleaning in my tablet and that seems just like the right chance that's why I am asking). Secondly what are the steps that I follow to be rooted and still have a working recovery? Flash the rom, flash SU and then when I set up the tablet the tablet install flashify and install TWRP again? Anything I should especially be careful with? Also does anybody know if xposed works with M? I haven't been following updates since I had no device running M
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
How long did it take for your first boot after the flash?
[Shield Tablet General] ou2mame:
I don't know... A few minutes maybe. I put it down and watched TV cause it wasn't doing anything. It eventually booted
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
Mine is bricked! I flashed via TWRP, broke my recovery, Fastboot doesn't work, ADB doesn't work, stuck at bootloader for over an hour, rebooted, everything. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! nVIDIA!!!!!!!!
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
Xposed works fine, at least on the k1 version I tried. Shouldn't be any different on the original.

Flash in custom recovery

Flash newest supersu

Flash xposed

Because xposed seem to love wiping cache every time, first boot will take a while.

If you lose custom recovery, just fastboot it back on. Might have to use that buggy twrp version though...
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
fastboot doesnt work? does it even get recognized by your pc?
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
It shows up as "Android Fastboot Device". When I type "fastboot devices" The serial shows followed by "fastboot"
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
the it should be good to go.

what happens if you try to do something with flashboot?
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
We're looking forward to that! Thank you very much! :p
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
I'm trying to flash a downgrade image and it keeps giving me errors while transferring. So I rebooted again to try and let it do the update and it's been sitting at the boot logo for over 30min., again.
[Shield Tablet General] Flash-User:
I've installed the update via TWRP over a 5.1.1 original NVIDIA stock rom, everything is working fine but i cant enter recovery again to install root, any ideas?

even a recovery reflash via fastboot wont work and let me enter recovery again, i think this is indebted to the new mm bootloader? are there any experimental recoverys for mm yet?
[Shield Tablet General] ImTheXDS:
Ok, I think I need some serious help too...

I was on 3.1.1 (pyro), I downloaded the full OTA zip in this thread, and at first TWRP was reluctant to flash it, because some weird error on device checks, or something. So, I removed the checks from the update-script file, re-packaged the OTA zip, and flashed it using TWRP. Before you rant about how stupid that was, I'm completely sure that the image was at least correct for my device (wx-na-wf for the wifi model, orig. tablet). The flashing went ok and it even did the MDA5 checks after flashing the system.new.dat. I'm not sure if it's related, but TWRP asked me to root the device, and I chose yes, but when it went to reboot, it just got stuck at boot logo. I tried to reboot to recovery, but it bootlooped back to the normal boot, so it's not working. It is NOT the killswitch, I double checked that several times by now, and the fact that it at least boots to the bootloader and the fastboot seems ok to me.

So, what I'm doing now is try it out with the experimental TWRP here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64520513&postcount=229

I installed it, and the recovery was finally able to boot. Needless to say, I'm getting ready to ditch everything and just go back to stock 3.1.1 and start over.

EDIT: The experimental TWRP did the trick! for good measure I avoided flashing the SuperSU for now. So, DreadApex, you could try that way. Just download the experimental TWRP, flash it via fastboot and do the whole flashing of OTA 4.0 all over again. If Fastboot doesn't want to wrk at first, use the volume buttons to select the fastboot mode in the menu. that could force the fastboot mode in the tablet to recover, and hopefully work.

[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
k1 image on an og st?
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Just a simple question:

MM update 4.0 consists of only 1 complete OTA without a seperate one for the firmware?
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
Followed this: http://nvidiashieldzone.com/index.p...t-k1/shield-tablet-restore-to-stock-recovery/ , but it may not be the right image for wifi version (I just realized it's not the right image. I needed the one for the original.). At least now in fastboot mode it's showing a version beside Envtboot3 and Ebootloader3. Before it said unknown. My download of the new update must be corrupted. Any way I can get a fastboot flashable image or flash the zip file of the new update? I'm currently downloading the wifi version 3.1.1 stock.

Update: Got the 3.1.1 image to boot. Trying the ota way now, and it says I'm up to date! What a pain in the ass this has been!
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
they removed the update because of the wifi issues people are having, wait for them to put it up again.
[Shield Tablet General] freakyfranks:
Thanks. Going on 4 hrs. of head banging. I guess I'll roll w/stock until the update rolls out again.
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
I'm sure they will get it back up quickly. they are frantic to get it fixed as people are flooding their forums with pitchforks and torches. lol
[Shield Tablet General] sshep1986:
I have really fluffed up device. 4.0 Lte Row edition installed fine. Stupidly decided I wanted everything as fresh as a daisy so hit the factory reset button. Entered Bootloop city. NOW Trying to flash 3.1.1 through fastboot goes smooth through the process but still results in bootloops. Cant boot to recovery either. Ideas, thought and jokes welcome. Please help. Gutted at the mo.
[Shield Tablet General] igloo77055:
My recovery wasn't working and I used this to go back. Wasn't really having any issues though, everything is working normally.

This experimental recovery is really really buggy though FYI.
[Shield Tablet General] bonny_k-9:
Old tablet are blocked (Y01), if you delete tegraota?
[Shield Tablet General] evank418:
does anyone know a way to access sd card formatted as internal from twrp? it seems the only way to flash things after sd card becomes internal is to format again to portable, move files to sd card, flash the files from twrp, reboot, and format sd card as internal. not so convenient....
[Shield Tablet General] sshep1986:
Looks like i will have to wait for nvidia to release the official image. Im guessing the MM bootloader is whats giving me problems. I cant seem to downgrade through fastboot.
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
No you can't.

That is why it is recommended to not use the possibility to use the external Sdcard as internal memory. Next to that it will slow the device down.
[Shield Tablet General] Crayman122:
Yes you can install if you have root. But you will be unrooted, and your custom recovery will be removed just don't try to re-root it. Wait for someone to release a good tutorial first.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
The answer was for me right? :P Thanks a lot! I'll try it once I go home, I am cleaning up my tablet from all sorts of unnecessary junk otg right now. Jee, it's gotten almost as bad as my pc >.<

[Shield Tablet General] pearce29:
To be clear this is for original tab and not having the killed WiFi problem?

Wait, I'm confused. I'd the update for the original SHIELD the one having Wifi issues or the update for K1?
[Shield Tablet General] pearce29:
Delete
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
I think people who are having problems on wifi are mostly people who update with root maybe a factory reset will fix it prior to updating the device
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Flashed OTA (LTE Europe version) over existing LP and after that latest SuperSu and all went fine. Within 20 mins tablet was up and running again and both Lte and Wifi work fine.

Just have to reflash compatible TWRP this evening to get recovery back.
[Shield Tablet General] bonny_k-9:
Who can write installation instructions hands wi-fi version? Tegraoga.apk also be deleted.
[Shield Tablet General] Mathman85:
Just to be clear for everyone trying to follow along:

The K1 update is absolutely bad.

The Original update has been bad for

some

. There is at least one person with a confirmed original Shield Tablet who lost WiFi with the update. Several others, myself included, have had no issues.
[Shield Tablet General] YuriPan:
I'll try doing a full wipe before flashing tut the update because I meant to do it anyway and will let you know how it goes. Also is it my idea or did Nvidia start pushing the update again? Once I connected to the wifi it started downloading it all over again
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
the Superuser in TWRP is NOT compatible with MM.

you need use the Beta SuperSU 2.67 if you want to root MM because a modification to the Boot.img is needed.
[Shield Tablet General] DanielKrause:
Thank you! Used it to update my Wifi (16gb - International) - Modell from Android 5.1.1 to Android 6.0 without factory reset (via adb) and until now everything works well :)
[Shield Tablet General] gqukyo:
I was just about to ask if you're in the states but saw you're in NL. Was excited to see LTE working in the states for MM... guess I'll have to just wait... Lol
[Shield Tablet General] m666p:
I lost WiFi too but only after flashing bit-o kernel, got it working after installing werewolf kernel, its dtb file and wiping cache
[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
I'll reply to myself I suppose...

Applied the update only to find my download .zip appeared corrupt - it didn't go through and I rebooted without issue.

Redownloaded the update from the link here (OTA not pulled it seems) - compared SHA of the two downloads and they didn't match - good sign.

TWRP did not survive - will have to reinstall.

Haven't rooted yet - wanted to check on Wi-Fi - unsurprisingly, it's not working for me...

Update:

After rebooting to check whether or not TWRP had survived (it hadn't - blank screen and reboot), Wi-Fi was working - not really surprised as this was the the norm for me as Wi-Fi became intermittent between reboots on any OTA after 3.0.

Will see what happens once I reinstall TWRP recovery and regain root with SuperSU v.2.67 beta.
[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
It is not gone, it is in settings/data usage.

And for all who still want to flash OTA by TWRP and want root:

Just flash after the OTA in TWRP the latest SuperSu and DO NOT choose to enable root when TWRP asks you to. When you do you will get a bootloop!

Latest SuperSu will enable systemless root which means it doesn't alter the systempartition anymore.

Also after flashing OTA and SuperSU and rebooting the TWRP recovery is gone and you have to flash the one that works with MM.
[Shield Tablet General] dodimo:
Hi is this for lte as well?
[Shield Tablet General] ED2O9:

[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:

[Shield Tablet General] 0mn1us:
Anyone with stock ROM without root having any troubles (like wifi not working) after update?
[Shield Tablet General] ImTheXDS:
Well, after losing all of my evening figuring out what was wrong, I flashed several times the 4.0 update, I flashed back the original 3.1.1 ROM and updated it again via original recovery. In all instances, the WiFi was broken. I also tried those troubleshooting steps listed in geforce forums, but as of now, it has been a huge waste of time. Letting the tablet shut off for several hours did somewhat work, and I was able to connect to my wifi, but it only worked for a few restarts before it stopped working again, and during that time, Google Play Services refused to update, and I was getting several crashes of Google-related apps. Merging the MicroSD card made matters even worse, making my tablet run incredibly slow at times. Also, I noticed that it got really hot at unspecified moments. It's a pyrotab BTW...

I also triggered the killswitch today by accident, so I'm just gonna flash a Custom Firmware and be done with this irritating situation.
[Shield Tablet General] ImTheXDS:
Guess what.. I found another issue here... the Ambient Light Sensor doesn't work on neither the pyrotab nor the other one. BTW, my new tablet updated ok, and has been working flawlessly... needless to say, it wasn't rooted, nor the bootloader unlocked. it was trully stock. The Pyrotab is gonna receive a Custom ROM, I had enough of this crappy 4.0 OTA.

[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
I just flashed it in TWRP. I haven't flashed SuperSU yet. I think I'm gonna need the experimental recovery to do that first. You can get it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24345424848487676

And I think you'll need the latest SuperSU beta, 2.67.
[Shield Tablet General] thelangosta:
Mine seems perfectly fine after the update. Bone stock, never rooted, etc.
[Shield Tablet General] An Droid:
Well, haven't been able to get Wi-Fi working again after trying some things that worked before.

Hopefully now nvidia will actually investigate the problem as it existed with OTA 3.1 and 3.1.1 for some people (had been posted before in their forum). I'm sure if I revert back to OTA 3.0 all will be fine again.

I'm convinced it's a timing issue - eg. Wi-Fi chip hasn't initialized before it's being accessed by the system. Interestingly, there's some patches being pushed out by Google regarding Wi-Fi/drivers...
[Shield Tablet General] GuyInDogSuit:
The Quick Settings panel won't pull down and the notification to switch from charging to file transfer won't pop up. So I guess I gotta wipe.
[Shield Tablet General] romracer:

You can also flash the RoW LTE ROM on the US LTE version and it will work fine. And you don't lose LTE like the wifi ROM. That's what I did to mine.
[Shield Tablet General] DreadApex:
very interesting.

so it works fine? is it the same thing just without the AT&T garbage?

I had the same problem but after flashing blob alone in Fastboot again, wifi started working for me.. Maybe you can try and see if that is of any help

Updated my rooted tablet and everything works perfectly. Flashed the experimental TWRP and supersu and back to rooted without problems. Was a bit slow and unresponsive for a while but smooth now.
[Shield Tablet General] drewski_1:
i have the same issue, but can't get Developer Options to show by tapping on the Build Number. is there a different trick now for this Update? it worked fine on the K1 6.0 :confused:
[Shield Tablet General] sinichi21:
Ok I have tried flashing the Row LTE file, I can say it works but you will lose the orignal recovery, when you boot to the fastboot the NV version and bootloader version becomes UNDEF_BUILD. on the bright side everything works aside from that so you just need to fastboot the experimental twrp and you will have a custom recovery. And also the system update is still there even you flash the nomoreota tried to browse in the priv app cant find any folder tegraota so this is a concern on the tablet which is going to be killed by nvidia

[Shield Tablet General] Snah001:
Used TWRP TWRP 2.8.7.1. when flashing MM OTA 4.0. and immediately after that SuperSu v2.67. Only after doing that did the full reboot. After reboot not forget that "old" recovery is gone and you have to flash the expirimental one to get it back.
