Yes 'cause People on Facebook are who they came to be. At least the Twitter Feed has more creditability given that Mr. Guzman is at the least a Moderator on nVidia's Forums, if he isn't a direct Employee of nVidia.

One other small but, nonetheless interesting fact as to why yesterday was a bust. Might have had something to do with it being a Federal Holiday in the United States. Namely Martin Luther King Day. And, I suspect that unlike Walmart, nVidia probably respect such Holidays, and gave Frank, or whoever they get to push the Button the Day off. Hopefully they will release the update before the end of the Week. But if it's their policy to realise only on Mondays, then so be it.

[Shield Android TV General] MrBungle67:
Damn...so much bashing on nvidia! All new features will be brought to the 2015 version, which is enough for me to simply be happy, even though the update comes in 2 weeks. After the CES announcement, I was actually thinking of a 3 to 6 months wait for us to get 7.0.

Meanwhile my "high-end" 3 year old $600 Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 is still stuck on 4.4 (officially). Fortunately a great community of developers made all CM12/13 and now Lineage 14.1 available. I have had the Shield for barely a year and it's gone through 3 software updates.
[Shield Android TV General] techjunky90:
Doesn't matter if Monday was a holiday or not. What matters is nvidia making false claims. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT is not tolerated & I hope the BBB takes action. Nvidia may be good at producing hardware but they're a flop when it comes to software.
[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
And, possibly at this point probably will also receive Android "O" as well. Assuming the betas start landing about May, or so.

But, as another dis-satisfide Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 (LTE) Owner I concur. There is nothing to complain about. Besides it probably wasn't very likely to have released yesterday (in hindsight), as it was a Federal Holliday back in the US. Yes it sucks to wait, but at least it's coming. Samsung OtOH just decided to give everyone else the Bird.
[Shield Android TV General] Tenacious--M:
I feel that Nvidia is absolutely awesome to have offered it and in such a quick time frame. Keep that up Nvidia... Love it!

I'm an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 user ( locked bootloader) . I know how it feels to be abandoned with still very able hardware.

SHIELD Experience Upgrade v5.0.1 for the new SHIELD TV (2017)

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/988789/shield-tv/shield-experience-upgrade-5-0-1/

There was a minor update to the new Shield TV 2017 yesterday. So maybe that's why users of the old Shield TV 2015 still have to wait for a final update release. Better get a stable and working update little later than an unstable which may brick your hardware.
[Shield Android TV General] Shocky2:

[Shield Android TV General] techjunky90:
From what I'm reading on the nvidia forum I wouldn't expect an update for the 2015 shield anytime soon. They seem to be having a lot of problems with the new shield. It would seem nvidia devices don't go through any type of quality control & they don't do very good at testing their firmware before releasing it. If an update for the 2015 shield were to come out anytime soon, don't be surprised if it's full of bugs.

new 2017 controller with 2015 device Issues

I received my new controller yesterday. i was able to pair it (even without the 5.0 update) via bluetooth connection. Things seemed fine in terms of the basic controls. BUT - I find when trying to play games that the buttons do not work as they are supposed to. Specifically the L1, L2, R1 & R2 buttons seem completely unresponsive.

I would like to confirm that this is due to the lack of the 5.0 update nor the update to the controller I hear gets rolled out as well and NOT due to me getting a bum piece of hardware. can anyone confirm or respond to this issue?

UPDATE:

I contacted nvidia and through some analysis, we determined the issue is limited to emulated games (I was trying to play an M64 game). the buttons appear to work fine on Google and Nvidia games.

additionally, the support person let me know that full compatibility with the 2015 device as well as emulated games and other apps will not be ready until the software/firmware updates that are about to go out. That would include the 5.0 experience, the 5.0.1 upgrade (bug fixes) as well as a controller update that apparently is rolling out as well. just an FYI to others who may be in my same situation.

UPDATE 2

After both the 5.0 (24.28.401.110)system upgrade as well as the 1.0 update for the new controller the buttons all seem to be working even on the emulated games.
[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
As of ~ca. 15.00(CET) the Shield TV 5.0 Update has gone up, and I'm downloading it now!

*Update* ?

Not sure IF TWRP was to blame, gut say yes! But, for the moment this has apperently ended badly again as I'm now frozen at the nVIDIA Logo.

Or, is this the Pro being a ***** again?

Having the Pro (2015), nVIDIA had posted on the uppermost Bar (Forget what it's called at the moment.) That there was an Update available for my Device.

If what you say is true, and it may we'll be then I would have to say in the most PC, and otherwise least offensive way. That, that would be really messed up if they're only offering up the 2015 (16Gb) ONLY! Update, and not warring anyone actually seeing this Update being advertised, as such being currently only for the 16Gb Version.

Will try re-rooting it again after a bit. I need to find out what happens to the Games Bar, and why the Play Store isn't showing up. Until I managed to work into it though nVIDIAs own Store.

How are you rooted on nougat?
[Shield Android TV General] CharAznableX:
All shield variants got the update ... I have the pro and got the update this morning
[Shield Android TV General] Pescatarian:
Same as before.

1) get a microSD and place Supersu.zip at root, enable USB debugging

2) download TWRP

3) adb reboot bootloader

4) fastboot oem unlock

5) fastboot boot TWRP.zip

6) Install SuperSu.zip in TWRP!

7) Profit?!

Only hang up is if you already have a converted MicroSD card in there like I do, then you need an additional one to place the SuperSu.zip on.

Enjoy!

The Steam App is Missing ( Gamestream )

Hello everybody

I have today made the update 5.0.2.

With me almost nothing has changed.

The apps are in a row and not 2.

The Steam app is missing

I can't get the Nvidia Games app to appear; it still appears as Shield Games and Geforce Now on a separate third section. The app is fully up to date, I've tried uninstalling updates for it then reinstalling it. It still shows on a separate row at the top for me :/

Anyone else?

[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
I seem to recall reading somewhere that you had to go to your PC and set that side of it up so you can eventually locate it from the nVIDIA Games Setting, under Game Stream.

Opps... Sorry it's been a long day. I misread Steam, for Stream. ?
[Shield Android TV General] LookedPath:
I updated my Shield and I discovered that despite Amazon rolled out Prime Video worldwide they enabled the app on the Shield only in a few European countries and obviously mine (Italy) is excluded. I managed to make the app show in the launcher by disabling location and by changing the language to English.

The problem is that I can stream 4k content but I can't seem to make it switch to HDR. With Netflix everything works as expected so it shouldn't be a configuration problem. If this is happening only to me the culprit could be the workaround that I've done to use the app. I would like some feedback on your situation so I could better understand what is going on.

Did you do a normal upgrade from within MM 3.3 or you did it with the OTA zip from TWRP?

[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
Not sure if it's worth pointing out, but doing the above, on a 4k TV, will net you ye 'ol standard Black Screen. However it seems that once its (i.e. TWRP), physically installed as your Recovery on the Shield, it will just work at least thats how I find it.
[Shield Android TV General] Sevennl:
I had to power off/on the system and update with the remote USB connected, that did the trick.
[Shield Android TV General] Pescatarian:
Ummm... Nah. I've flashed 3 shield 'TVs today with no issue, all had same setup.

Make sure if your TV is 4K that it isn't stuck in 4K mode when you load twrp... I've heard that that can cause issues. However, today I performed the steps on a 4K tv and 4K monitor without issue...

STOP spreading disinformation!

I just accepted the OTA, but FYI I'd already made a backup with TWRP.

Anyhow, it flashed fine, though Xposed is now gone, I have Zero issues.
[Shield Android TV General] sammarbella:
Thanks.

A backup from TWRP is always a good idea. :)

I asked because i already have the full Nougat OTA zip stored in a safe place.

I can flash the new Hacked-twrp-3.0.2-darcy.zip "Nougat ready" recovery (over the older TWRP) via Flashify, reboot into the new TWRP and install the full Nougat OTA AND SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip before reboot.

Is this going to work?
[Shield Android TV General] Pescatarian:
It should. If you're concerned at all, just run Xposed-uninstaller first and make that nandroid backup!
[Shield Android TV General] Silenus21:

Hello

Is there a Step-by-Step guide for a downgrade?
[Shield Android TV General] j-m-s:
I think there are 2 meanings of "rooted":

1. beeing able to use "adb root" with root shell access. this is determined by a setting in build.prop

2.having "su" working for apps.

If you have a root shell, you can do anything on the box. For root access, you do not need "su" oder "supersu".
[Shield Android TV General] ThermoDyn:
Hopefully something simple I'm missing - I have two 2015 16Gb shield TV's that were rooted and have TWRP installed. On one - I was able to just allow the upgrade when prompted (knowing I would lose root). It downloaded, rebooted into TWRP and installed the update. Everything went ok - lost root but it's easy to get back.

On my other mahcine - I accept the update, it downloads, reboots, and then sits there at the main TWRP screen. If I reboot - it boots back up and prompts me to download/install again.

How do I get it to flash the OTA file? I can;t seem to find it to manually select it in the TWRP interface.

I suspect this is something very trivial so if someone could drop kick me in the right direction it would be most appreciated :)
[Shield Android TV General] j-m-s:
There a rooted system/vendor images for full android 6. Maybe in 2 weeks also for android 7.

You just have to flash them with fastboot.
[Shield Android TV General] ThermoDyn:
I dont mind rerooting again down the road - that's fine - is there something I can do to install the OTA within TWRP?

When I hit update - presumably the OTA file is stored somewhere on the device. Do you know where? Alternatively is there a place to download the ota zip file? It's referenced elsewhere in this thread and people mentioned backing it up.

https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/general/shield-tv-2015-5-02-zip-file-pro-t3545423

Hit the update - but before it rebooted I winscp's in and grabbed the update file from here

/data/data/com.nvidia.ota/app_download

Tossed it on an sd card and then was able to flash it manually from TWRP with no issues.
[Shield Android TV General] sammarbella:
OTA is downloaded to the usual folder: /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/app_download

But to flash it from recovery TWRP itself must be "Nougat ready", AFIK there are at least 2 "Nougat ready" TWRP versions in this forums and a third on the way.
[Shield Android TV General] LilSnoop4O:
hello, i have 2 2015 16gb shields tv's that i bought in November. yesterday i did the update to both of them and one of mine doesn't work right. the update on the one went fine, the other one once the download completed i saw the android green guy and then the tv lost signal and it was stuck on a black screen. i called Nvidia and they had me do this procedure that took about 40 minutes after the shield turned back on. my remote wasn't working so i rebooted the shield and again it is stuck on the black screen. is there any way to fix this other than doing the 40 minutes procedure again. which was:

Unplug all the cables and keep the device off for good 2-3 minutes. -> Plug the Power cable, controller through USB (Wired) and Ethernet cable to the ATV. Do not connect HDMI cable. -> The device will power on. Keep it idle for about 5 minutes and keep tapping A button on the controller. Continue tapping for about a few seconds. -> Now leave the device is this state without the HDMI cable for good 15 to 20 minutes and plug the HDMI cable. -> See if the ATV displays any output.

so the problem is my shield tv went back to the black screen after a reboot. i did the steps above and got it working again so i then did a factory reset and now it is stuck again at the black screen. how do i fix this for good and get my remote working?

Thanks

I have a very similar problem. I tried to flash a 2015 Shield that previously had 5.0.2 with the 3.3 Factory image. All I get is a black screen now. I can still get the Fastboot menu to come up but that's it.

I absolutely hate it when you're watching something late at night and all the sudden, your controller battery craps out and your shield starts blasting whatever is playing through your TV speakers at max volume....

So after waiting on holding forever i hung up. i decided to remove my heavy duty HDMI cable and replace it with the one in the box that came with the Shield. powered on the Shield and it works with no issues, i can now power on and off, reboot and it works np... no idea why that matter as the heavy duty HDMI cable i have been using since day one worked prior to the update. so anyone else that might be have the black screen after the update and your not using the HDMI that came with the box try that and power back on.

Thanks
[Shield Android TV General] scope666:
Incredibly I was able to get it working again. I flashed everything from the 3.3 image including userdata.img, but kept the blob file from 5.0 ... it booted and immediately started downloading 5.0 from the internet, so I let it finish. Sure enough I'm back up and running 5.0.

Needless to say I wont' try downgrading to 3.3 again unless someone or Nvidia comes up with a procedure to do so. In any case thanks everyone for trying to help today. :)
[Shield Android TV General] g90814:
They need to have a good battery charge (~50% or more?) and having them plugged in to charge when running the update seems to help. Make sure there's a clear line of site to the Shield TV. It can take several tries.

Upgraded 16gb 2015 Shield TV by OTA from 3.3 to 5.02. Prior to upgrade the bootloader was unlocked and system rooted. Upon upgrade I lost root but used the tutorial and files (twrp and supersu) from:

http://nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-.../tutorial-root-shield-android-tv-16gb-nougat/

to regain root. Skipped the bootloader unlock (done prior when on 3.3) and everything else worked like a charm. Tried to update supersu but I think I already had the latest update. Tested root is fully operational by checking root apps running on boot (droidmote, etc). Controllers and remote updated after first reboot.

I'm kind of curious to learn if the 2017 a/b Updater can't be ported, or indeed be partitioned onto a 2015 Pro. I for one much enjoy having up-to-date Security Updates courtesy of Google. Which again kinda beggers the question, why only the December 1st Bulletins, and NOT January 1st.. Or indeed the 9th than? The Build Date was done back on the 22, of January. So its not like they could say it just wasn't available at the time.
