[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
Hello my friends,

For a few days now I have my Shield Android TV.

What advantages gives root access at a Android TV device?

Is it possible to install other apps ?

Can I possibly install apps like Maxdome , Instant Video?

What are the disadvantages a root access ?

No updates from NVidia ?

Possibly no longer works the streaming function ?

Warranty expiration (like Samsung ) ?

And which way do you have used to root?

Would be very interested :)

greetings
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
AFAIK there are no real downsides to rooting. Nvidia has thankfully made it easy to unlock the bootloader, and it will not void your warranty.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
Thank you for the answer.

Sounds awesome.

And what is possible with a rooted device?

And, the most important thing, how do you rooted?

Rooting won't keep the Shield from getting updated firmware?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
Would be awesome :D
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
This is not a Shield specific question. It's related to ALL devices running Lollipop (V5.0) and higher.

The update script used to upgrade from one version of Android to another has been changed. Now, rather than checking and updating individual files, the script looks at a device's system partition as a whole. This means that anyone who has rooted or modified their device in any way will find that the OTA update will fail

There ARE newer systemless root methods out there that will give you root w/o changing the System partition. However, since root gives you full access to this partition, any changes that you might inadvertently make via the use of apps that require Root, will cause the same thing to happen.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
So I understand correctly , there is no possibility to root , and use OTA ?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aobeta:
I was on 2.1 rooted and was able to upgrade to 3.0 ota. The only problem is when I did that, I lost root. And if I try and root it now, I believe it will completely wipe my device. I plan on rooting it again, but I hope I can figure out a way to root without losing my data.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
Okay, sounds good.

The full wipe is okay for me.

But what is possible with root?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
You can use backup apps like Titanium, and install the Xposed framework.

Honestly, if you don't have a reason to root, then you probably shouldn't.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
For my phone I know why I use root everytime, but on android TV, I don't know what's possible.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi.arnold:
no idea?

Hello? :D
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
One good thing about rooting is that you can use a touch screen mapper to map your shield controller buttons to emulate touch points on the screen. Something like Droidmote.

This way you can play sideloaded games that require touch but do not support gamepad controller.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy4Shurr:
Xposed modules can be very handy too. One called App Settings is brilliant for the shield due to it's DPI and screen orientation settings. I have an app which streams video but based on the DPI it doesn't offer the max bitrate, however, with this module I can change the DPI on a per app basis and this then enables me to stream in the highest available quality.

Adaway for Root is also good, as is Moonlight game streaming for Rooted Devices... there's loads but if you won't use them it's not worth doing. I couldn't have not rooted my shield tv though.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidspider:
Now I have rooted I won't receive updates is that right or I will still see the updates but if I update I will lose root?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brotbuexe:
You still will receive the update.

But the possibility to install the update depends on the update type.

The latest OTA to MM was a full image that flashed a whole new system and boot img. And that removed root too.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidspider:
That's OK. As long as I still see the update I can always re root afterwards
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alignedfibers:
Nvidia has a developer program for the nvidia shield, I believe you can run a development version which will allow you to even test and build drivers for the newest devices making them compatible on the Shield, which requires root. I recommend looking at the NVIDIA website. They provide the instructions to install.

anyone knows how to fix this?

is it becoz of asx file?

I have no idea what the problem is, i just wanted to confirm it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zetajunkie:
what explorer are you using to open it? It works using the opera browser (it prompts you to d/l, and then you open) and in PIE for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RPG0:
I opened in PIE, which starts WMP streaming, not D/L-ing. btw: i don't care about that particular site, but maybe i'll find one i actually need and it acts the same...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you have tried a KK, MM, and LP stock ROM and wi-fi still doesn't work, it could be a defective wifi module on the motherboard.

In the Samsung forums, some people were able to enable wifi by fixing the permissions in the EFS folder. Not sure if this would apply to the N5.

Hello All,

I have LG G4-H818P dual-sim international unlocked version. Ever since I upgraded it to Android 6 (Software Verison V20c-AME-XX), most of my applications have stopped running and I even cannot upgrade them since the Google Play itself stopped completely from opening !!!!! I tried to reinstall Android 6 again via LG Bridge application provided by LG but the issues remain. Can someone suggest me what to do to? Is Android 6 not well-optimized for G4 yet? If so, why would they release it then? Can I recovery Android lollipop at least to get my apps working again since I cannot update existing ones due to Google Play crash.

Best,

I want to make this mod, Is it difficult to open the vr gear?
[Samsung Gear VR] bovoro:
i cant login into android central, finnaly i did this FIX , but with a variant, with a hole saw cutter i extracted the complete lens stand , and realocate in the fixed position.

Now i see more clear with no blurry , but i notice a few things , the image seems little distorted , slightly spherical shape , i thinks thats because we need to modify the IPD value somewhere for render with the new distance eye to eye.
[Samsung Gear VR] darkphantom:
So there are two factors, right? One physical (actual placement of the lens) and the two being the software, which has to calibrate the lens position (IPD in the software?). Definitely need to software-hack the VR to see what elements we can extract/change.
[Samsung Gear VR] bovoro:
yes , i reopen my gear vr to close a little the distance , but i have difficulties to calibrate the correct position of lens can you check your GEAR VR? when i use mine , i force my eyes like crossed eyes.

i think because isnt aligned both lenses , what do you think ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sonkameja:
Was already a customer for T-Mobile

Got my new s7 edge along with a new SIM card, activated card online since I waited more than 30 minutes on the phone but no one from tmobile picked up those lazy mother f***ers.

Anyways now I'm trying to use my data plan and yes data is enabled on my phone settings and it's not connecting.

Apn were already loaded by default and look correct.

Any ideas since I'd rather not waste another 30 minutes of my life...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kxhaz:
I had this happen to me yesterday. I had activated my S7 edge with no problems Tuesday afternoon and everything worked fine until 11:30 then the data shut off. I called T-mobile about 12:15 when it had not come back on and they said that for some reason the new line change took place it took the data off, but they had it fixed in a couple seconds. Also I was lucky and did not have to wait on hold at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tp2215:
I did it this morning and called the number on the sim card card (not the 611 or regular customer service line, its the sim card activation line). I had a rep answer within one minute. She activated the sim card and got data and everything within 30 seconds after hanging up the phone with her. Didnt need to reboot or anything.

I am in the middle of returning my tab back to stock to then update to this update... Will report back in a while. [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

If you have unlocked your bootloader to use a custom recovery DO NOT UPDATE. It will soft brick!!! I tried in vain and am having to resort to 'back to stock' as, like a pleb, I don't backup before I tinkered
[Thinkpad Tablet General] alamo76:
I happens to the best of us, man. Sorry to hear. I'm currently not rooted, but at some point will, so that possibility of messing up will ALWAYS be there.

i have just updated my yoga 830LC. But i forgot my bootloader is unlocked. It's soft brick. Can you help me how to back to stock Lollipop ROM. please help me! thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pug1:
Do you have a backup? When I first tried to update I think it did update part of the rom. I reflashed the patched esp (which you should still have if you have unlocked you boot-loader)

It then let me in to recovery and to restore.

Try that and report back
[Thinkpad Tablet General] saupiquet:
Hi. I have this update from lenovo too, my 1050F is rooted, how I do a backup ? and you flash which stock rom, before upgrading ?

If possible, I want to keep my data.

Thank you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] corasman:
I think the only way to keep you data is with something like Titanium backup saved to an external source and then whenever the update is finished re-root and restore selected backed up data
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pug1:
If you have unlocked you boot-loader you must have flashed a customers recovery. I did a twrp back up and selected what I want to restore.

Edit - get the files you need from this post
[Thinkpad Tablet General] -beluga-:
I have the 8 inch version of this tablet (830F) and received a similar update notification.

I just used the temp recovery trick to root and disable some bloat but left it otherwise stock. The tablet is currently in the process of backing up with temp TWRP and I was thinking of unrooting and giving this update a shot.

But it's not worth losing root over it...

Did anyone apply the patch in the meantime? Were you able to root again?

Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pug1:
Yeah I have rooted, unlocked the boot-loader and flash twrp... All is good.

Have you flashed the patched boot-loader? If so you will need to flash the stock 830F ROM
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 69PerTTu69:
Soft Brick

I'm just leaving my experience in case anyone does the same mistake as I.

I tried to use de "Hide root" option of SuperSu before upgrading, I have a locked bootloader, so I thought that it would be enough but I well... it didn't even boot after de lenovo screen :p

So I had to returno to stock, after reading what other peole did I manage to finally flash it back to stock lollipop.

I download this stock rom from lenovo-forums.ru

[As rookie, cannot post links :silly:]

Before flashing, the flash.xml has to be edited. Find

and add -s 1G to the command

Then, enter on bootloader mode. I did it from de Recovery Mode (PWR on, and after de "lenovo" press both volume keys)

And just flash it with Phone Flash Tool

Everything it's probably pretty obvious for many of you but I leave this here for noobies like me! :victory:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] saupiquet:
Thank you 69PerTTu69.

Did you have keep your data partition?

I have understood you have only install system partition. Right ?

If so, I Will try to use your method.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] -beluga-:
Sounds good. No I only have the temp twrp bootloader pushed from the pc. Untethered it is stock but it's rooted. I'll revert that tomorrow and give this a shot. Cheers.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dingers01:
I have a new 1050F which has finished churning through all the updates to get it from KitKat.

It is now at the level of this update (..S100256_160119..)

I was about to root following the "[HOW TO] Root Yoga Tablet 2 [STEP-BY-STEP] [NOOB FRIENDLY]" 1st post instructions by AndroMAN (which uses a temporary pushed recovery) but I'm now a little concerned since that will put me in exactly the position of you -beluga-.

I'd be grateful if you could let me know how you get on (or if anyone else can comment on whether attempting to root this way is now a bad idea)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] -beluga-:
Ok, this was a success -

1. Unroot through the SU app (just to be safe)

2. Restart

3. Apply the update through the regular system/settings UI and wait for it to finish

4. Re-root as before (using IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 and BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247)

Keep in mind that I was on stock bootloader and didn't alter much besides disabling crapware. Deeper modifications may cramp your style.

Cheers

right now i own lg g2 ,which is becoming months by months slower ,recently I got an offer to trade it for OPO ,I want to know if is good idea to . I have no clue how is camera on OPO compared to lg g2 ,that's why i'm asking here . Thanks
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvaju:
Had lg g2, now I have OPO, i was not satisfied with camera on lg g2, maybe my device was faulty, on OPO pictures are not so good compare to lg g2, I like the OPO overall over lg g2, but I think if you want better camera then lg g2, look somewhere else, maybe Xperia z3c?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raagh:
definetly . i did that switch almost 7 months ago and i dont regret it one minute.

Sure lg g2 is a great phone, great battery life and camera on stock lg rom. but to be honest. its outdated and lg roms sucks. if you use custom roms you face a number of issues( decreased battery life and quality camera) , tonces of device versions, booloader problems, twrp problems.

definetly not a good a phone and its all fault of lg. not of the hardware itself.

the opo on the other hand you get CM(actually COS) from the start, you can unlock bootloader and root it very easy and legal( warranty not void) . you get total freedom and good overall performance with good battery life no matter if you re using stock( which is awesome) or a custom rom.

we re getting marshmallow this month(COS13) .

so yes i did that switch and it was the best decision( and believe me i really loved my g2 was a great phone, but the opo is a better choice)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renosh:
Definitely switch if you like being on custom ROMs. I also came from LG G2 and I love this phone. The camera I think was slightly better on G2. Camera quality and battery life suffered on custom ROMs on the G2 and the infamous black lines if you screw up was always a risk on that phone, bootloader nonsense too.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odysseus1962:
My LG G2 was only a few months old when I got my invitation for my OPO. After receiving my OPO I was so impressed that my G2 went in a drawer and I never used it again. The only area where the G2 was superior was with the stock camera on the stock ROM. Now I'm biased because I didn't like the stock LG ROMs and have always preferred CM. As you know CM for the G2 was problematic. I ended up selling my G2 and buying another OPO, so now I have two, with one being my daily driver and the other I use for trying out different ROMs and for development. BTW one of the great things about this handset is there is nearly as much development and ROM choices as with a Nexus device, rather impressive IMHO.

2.download the official firmware of your device from sammobiles .

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

3.Go to download mode in your device (vol down+power button)

4.Now connect your device to the pc and open Odin.

5.Now open Odin in your PC and under PDA browse for the firmware you downloaded and click start.

So i installed CM13 nightly on my OPO device in hope on getting some VoLTE support.

Ran the vanilla Cyanogen 12.1 before, i have the VoLTE flag enabled in the hidden menu: *#-#4634#*#* but i think something is wrong with the function as i cant turn it off. And i had it enabled in cm 12.1 and now also 13 but still i am not able to get any VoLTE functionality, so i guess i am trying to turn the key and engine rotates but there is no fuel in tank. :P

I have a VoLTE enabled simcard just for this test, so its not related to Carrier not enabled volte on the sim.
