[MENTION=5582377]YuriPan[/MENTION]: It's in the opening post. Firmware 5.0, flashable zip. Flash it, reboot to android, reboot to recovery, flash lineage.

And okay, *finally* sat down and sorted out camera on 15.1 during my time off this weekend. As far as I know, that's the last blocker bug. I spun up a selinux enforcing build and am going to daily drive that for a week or so, looking for any major issues. I've also uploaded it to afh for any that are interested in doing some bug hunting. At this point, I need to anything that's off. I know there's one minor issue in the build that I'm hunting a fix for. Nvidia games crashes once on first boot. Think I know what I need to fix that, just haven't got there yet. This contains the auto bootloader flash too, no need to hunt it down manually.

[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
I hadn't realised that was it but I had downloaded and tried flashing it first. So I had an old version of EOS and my recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-2. I flash this file, then try Lineage 14.1 or 15.1 and I get error 7 for either. What am I doing wrong? Also I was able to restore my backup of EOS once but it seems like my tablet won't let me boot that when I tried again after a wipe and being unsuccessful wiping lineage... and I don't want to revert to stock because there's probably Nvidia's kill switch waiting to be delivered to my tablet >.<
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
[MENTION=5582377]YuriPan[/MENTION]: Well, that twrp version is pretty old. Grab the latest official off twrp.me, flash that and try the 15.1 build linked in my last post again. That should straighten everything out and you'd be able to go back to official 14.1 if desired. And yeah, iirc eos hasn't been updated since M, if not L, so it wouldn't boot on the latest bootloader.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
Oh that explains why eos won't work. But I tried installing the latest TWRP and it would never boot into recovery, it was stuck in the nvidia logo which is also why I chose this version over the latest one. Right now I'm just on recovery with no rom in system so am I not soft-bricking my device if I install the latest TWRP and can't boot into recovery anymore?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
Okay, I think you're in kind of a weird situation. Taking a guess, you tried to boot the newer twrp *before* you flashed the bootloader update zip. The latest versions of twrp, I chose to not put in the work to support the older bootloaders. The one you're on now will boot on both the older and newer ones. Once you updated the bootloader, that twrp still worked, but eos doesn't. But at this point, you should be able to update twrp fine. Do a fastboot boot to check, though. In any case, as long as you can get to fastboot, the device isn't bricked, you'll be able to recovery one way or another.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
I messed it up real good. Yeah, I did exactly what you said, I thought I'd have no issues updating TWRP based on my knowledge, which was like 2 years older since that's how long I had to take my old shield out of the drawer. But you were right, it updated to the latest TWRP and boots into recovery. It also appears to be installing the Lineage file you shared just fine too, I'll install gapps as soon as that's done and see how it goes. I'm somewhat worried because it's wiping Dalvik and cache now and it seems to be taking its sweet time, while that usually takes just a second. Not like I can do anything though, I'm just fussy like that. If I see this going for like more than 15' (trying to wipe cache and Dalvik) would it do great damage to try rebooting?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
Interrupting a wipe isn't the end of the world, but if you did, you'd want to go back and run one to completion before continuing a normal boot. Some of the chips take longer to wipe than others. I'm not entirely certain what the difference is, but it doesn't happen on all. Just let it run, it'll finish after a few minutes. Flash gapps before rebooting to be safe, then you should be good to go.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
It ended on its own luckily, flashing gapps now. It surprised me because I did pleeeeenty of wipes during the past few hours trying to get custom roms to install and the latest version of TWRP and the fix for the bootloader and all those things. Poor thing finally decided to protest apparently. Thank you so much for your help, you've been amazing, and I think I'll stop bugging you now since I seem to be all set and lineage is loading. I'll be back with first impressions and bugs if I find any. Anything that runs better than that ancient EOS and doesn't randomly freeze will keep me happy for a while though!

Does this rom support ota? Or should I just check back for updates every now and then?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
Official builds do, the unofficial ones do not. Once a bit of testing is done and some reports come in, I'll be pushing 15.1 official. So, anyone on the unofficials will have to wipe and reinstall at that point. From there, nightlies will be available in the normal updater on device.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] ghostman256:
Does anyone know if there a nice Overclock Kernel for this? lineage-14.1
[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
Great! I think I'll need to get titanium back up to avoid constantly losing my apps and doing it manually all over again (I used to do it for fun tbh, gutnim way past that phase).

So far 15.1 is amaaaaazing ,super fast, super smooth, I'm surprised with how fast it responds to everything. Videos in YouTube load great, Netflix is bumpy and crashing and instill haven't tried playing videos in my device loaded from a computer. I'll let you know once I do although I suspect you already know what to expect. I still don't have a clear image for battery drain, at first it seemed to be doing well but it lost 10% during the night.I think it was updating apps in the background though so I'm not sure if that was the issue. I'll try a couple of games (I'm thinking Hogwarts Mystery and I'll see what else) and report on the progress.

Also I noticed I'm not pre-rooted. Do I flash SU in recovery for Oreo?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Is hardware video decoding fixed ?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] multiwirth:
I guess it is since this is a requirement of getting offical (everything that is working on stock has to work on offical builds)
[Shield Tablet Android Development] jpearn:
[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] thanks for the latest version of 15.1, but I have one question. I still have multirom running with stock as the main OS, I'm guessing this will still be compatible with 15.1 ?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Dhalsim43:
That's why I'm asking ?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
No, hardware decoding is not fixed. Shield tablet and other t124/t132/older tegra devices are getting an exception to that for officials.

As for multirom, no clue. I haven't used it in forever. I presume if it works with the latest bootloader, all should be fine. But again, I have not verified this myself.

Bug report for 15.1:

Gps sensors not working

Root

Anyone having problems with root?

Some apps do not work correctly, for example Es File Explorer:

This app can't gain root anymore and the app called "App Quarantine" has a strange behavior aswell, showing apps as disabled while they aren't but is working in some way.

Magisk/su addon doesn't matter.

I think viper4android installation was impossible too (flashable zip) on all new builds.

Haven't updated my shield a long time and there was no single issue like thst before.

I did a clean flash but this didn't fix the issues.

Maybe [MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] can take a look on it?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
If it goes official 15.1 will there still be a 14.1 monthly?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] jpearn:
Somethings up with Multirom as I couldn't get it out of a loop back to recovery in main and secondary. I did remove Multirom with normal TWRP and when it booted everything would continually force close. Probably needs a clean start / restore to factory, but for now I will run 14.1 / stock (both working fine), thanks !
[Shield Tablet Android Development] drewski_1:
nice Steel01!! :good:

Assume clean wipe needed from Unofficial v15?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
Ah blast, gps. Yeah, I knew that was a problem and forgot about it. I'll get on that in the next couple days.

As for root, the only root Lineage can officially support is our addon-su, available in the extras section of the Lineage download site. If the problems can be reproduced from a clean install with only addon-su, I'll pass along the report.

Anything multirom related would need reported in the multirom thread. Though, I don't think anyone really supports that anymore.

And yes, moving from the other 15.1 unofficial builds to mine will require a full wipe since I sign mine with my personal keys. Same will be true moving to official when I get those going. There is a way to generate a zip to convert keys of an existing install, but I've not had much luck with that method. So easier to just back up what's important, nuke, and start over.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Fish&Chips:
Hello, I have a Shield K1 and recently made the switch to official Lineage OS, everything is working great, no complaints there. However, (and this is not a feature request) I'm wondering if there's anything I can change -outside of android settings- to make the lockscreen stay in landscape when screen rotation is disabled. Let me explain, I know when rotation is enabled the lockscreen rotates too, no issue there, but when you disable screen rotation and leave the tablet in landscape mode the lockscreen goes back to portrait mode no matter what. I'm open to make any edits necessary. Thanks.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Disrupthor:
[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] Please don't give up on HW acceleration. it will be a shame if a tablet like this won't have a fully funcional LOS 15.1.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] fpozar:
Man, Steel was working on it for around one full year or maybe even longer. It's gotten to the point that even Lineageos team decided to give him a break and allow him to go official without it, that's how hard nvidia made it for him, do you have any idea how rude requests like this one are?? If you need hw acceleration, stick to absolutely 100% fully functional and snappy Nougat. Is there even a real reason you need oreo aside from the cooler OS name?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] DarxMaster:
I'm with [MENTION=3345782]Disrupthor[/MENTION].

It would be a shame to lose HW acc forever.

First: I totally understand that it's much work to get/keep this build running. I totally admire [MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] for that and I (or we?) don't mean to attack him. It's just discussion.

Second: For me it's not the fancier look of Oreo that makes me wanting it. [MENTION=7395801]fpozar[/MENTION]

Besides that it feels much smoother and faster than Nougat. Don't know why. Maybe general Oreo improvements or some Lineage code cleanup or both.

What I would be happy to know: Is the work on the HW acc just paused to get other things done, or is it a "it will never work"-thing
[Shield Tablet Android Development] YuriPan:
It really is way faster, not sure why, but I would have never guessed a Shield was capable of going this fast. I'm nearly tempted to throwing away stock and its HW acceleration on my normal shield (I flashed Lineage to the one with the defective battery, which I hope never is set on fire :P). But for now I'm using one for all things that don't need HW acceleration and just keep the other one for Netflix and some games
[Shield Tablet Android Development] _benedict_:
Hi!

Happy user of 14.1 for a couple of weeks, everything looks good so far. I would like to thank the people who take some (or more!) of their time to contribute to this.

As part of a parental control on the tablet, I want to remove the guest account. I found what looks like a feasible solution here at stackexchange. However, before I proceed, I would like to know if the Magisk framework will live well together with TWRP. Does anyone know?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Snah001:
Using this build also for a couple of weeks now.

Works just fine but can't cure the reduced battery capacity due of aging.

Oh and when during boot the loginscreen could be rotated it is a no brainer for daily use.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] imneveral0ne:
Ok I'm rooted and unlocked bootloader from like... 1 or 2 years ago on my Original Shield Tablet Wifi. The build number that I'm on is LMY48C.35398_567.2193 and the Android version is 5.1.1. I'm trying to install the latest TWRP so I can use this ROM and after installing the latest and rebooting to recovery, I just go to the NVIDIA screen and it stays there. I can still boot into the tablet normal but not get to recovery. I read that I have to get an updated bootloader to run the latest TWRP but I'm not 100% on where to get that to install it. I did flash twrp-3.0.0-0-shieldtablet.img TWRP and flashed the Firmware Update : N/Stock 5.0 from OP and then tried to flash the latest TWRP Download twrp-3.2.3-0-shieldtablet.img but it still won't boot. I really don't want to have to flash allll the way back to stock and then update to latest just to have to root/unlock bootloader all over again. Anyone have any idea the best way to do this? Thanks in advance!
[Shield Tablet Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
Maybe someone has a better way.

I recommended you go back to stock with your unlocked bootloader...Don't Lock It!...allow the shield to do it's thing and update itself to the latest firmware, which will ensure that you have the latest bootloader...then fastboot twrp and you should be golden from there.

You can get the 5.2.0 image from Nvidias site...make sure to get the firmware for the og shield if that's what you got...or the lte if that's what you got...or the k1 if that's what you got...

Maybe easiest steps....you could pull the bootloader from the latest los16 since the op/maintainer has packed it in. Then fastboot twrp or update twrp through the img flash in twrp and then you should be golden.

I'd recommend los15 over los16 because it's most complete...the lack of hardware acc could hinder you but that's my opinion...

Good luck...I didn't post step by step because I presume you know what I'm talking about...if you need step by step I'm sure there's a guide on xda
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Steel01:
[MENTION=634435]imneveral0ne[/MENTION]: After flashing the firmware/bootloader update, you have to let it try to boot to android once. It will most likely fail to boot, but once you do that, you can hard power off, then use the key combo to get the fastboot menu, and boot to the latest twrp. From there, installing the newer Lineage will work as expected.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] imneveral0ne:
After installing the firmware from the first post I do go right to android and it boots right up just fine, then flash the new TWRP, boot to recovery, and it just stays at the Nvidia logo.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] unhumanOne:
It can be. It's buried somewhere. Not sure where it was, but find it!

Mutitouch stopped working today. I cannot figure out why either. Any ideas?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Disrupthor:
[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] Shield TV with update 7.2 got the kernel bumped to 4.9 from the 3.10. Will this help with our hw acc?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] eightrac:
Actually, this is out of control. The multitouch is just not working. Also, I now have a dead spot in the lower right hand corner. Never had that before. It also confuses touches from the left on the right side of the screen when rotated to the left, but not to the right. When rotated to the right, multitouch doesn't work at all.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Alastor89:
I asked [MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] this a couple of posts ago and he said no, but maybe 4.9 kernel can boot also on the tablet and we can get some other kind of benefits. I guess the main difficoult task will be to to make the touchscreen work as the TV does not have it and so the raydium driver must be ported from 3.10 to 4.9.

But there were also mocha devs that are working on this i guess
[Shield Tablet Android Development] mirhl:
RM31080 is supposedly already ported to 4.4.

And I would guess it shouldn't be *all* that difficult to hook up with the code for 32380 that lingers in mainline since 4.8.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Alastor89:
You're right, I've seen it now and in mainline there is the generic raydium driver. About the feasibility and difficultness to adapt 4.9 (or mainline) kernel to the tablet I don't know. Steel01 a while ago said that maybe also on the tablet we can see 4.9.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] matwlodek:
Is Netflix/Kodi working on 15.1 beta build? Someone have posted that youtube 1080p works fine. I understand that hw acc is off and it's all software now, but I'm curious about Netflix behaviour. It's a shame that Nvidia have not opened OMX codecs :(

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] thanks for your hard work and support for this device! :)

What did I wrong?? Thx for help.

Connection problem after 20181202

Hello everyone!

I've got a problem since the 20181202 update: The tablet (K1 WLAN) wont connect to my router anymore.

The status flashes Saved->Authenticating...->Saved quickly several times before going to Disabled

I tried:

1. Deleting all profiles.

2. Cache wipe

3. Update to 20190102

3. Wipe all data and reinstall without restoring anything from backups (connecting via WPS or password)

4. Router restart

5. Router update to last beta

6. Guest access from my router

7. Changing WLAN channel

Note2:

1. After the 20181202 update the tablet does not list the 5GHz access (I've separated 2.4GHz and 5GHz to two different SSIDs), if there is no profile for it. If I restore it with Titanium Backup, it tries to connect. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz behaves the same way.

2. Samsung S9+ running 20181216 connects well.

3. PC with Intel WLAN adapter running Linux connects well.

4. Tabled did connect to two other (and different) routers, just not my own.

5. MAC filter is disabled in the router.

Sadly, I did not save the older version, so I cannot revert to pre 20181202 state.

Currently I'm out of ideas. The last thing left is leaving Lineage OS and try a different build.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] jemail:
Check the channels that 2.4ghz and 5ghz are assigned by your router. I know that on my router if 5ghz wireless is assigned a channel greater than 48 it will not be detected as a wireless point that can be connected to. Never had problems with 2.4ghz channels.

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] It seems that the latest build (20190102) has an old bug with LiveDisplay and Netflix. I found this while searching about the problem: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74023465&postcount=193

I disabled LiveDisplay and it is working now.

So is HW acceleration working? Is the kernel now 4.9 or still 3.10?
[Shield Tablet Android Development] Hack_AR:
I just flashed Validus Oreo from https://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/nvidia-shieldtablet-validus-t3760045 -> WLAN connected.

Flashed Official LineageOS 14.1 version 20190102 -> No connection.

Flashed unofficial LineageOS 15.1 20180529 from https://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-shield-t3752914 -> WLAN connected.

Something went wrong with last two official LineageOS versions... I guess now I have to stay with that old version for now. I hope this issue will not propagate to 15.1 once it get an update.

WLAN connection problem (Nougat only, Oreo - not affected)

Hi to all!

I have a very tricky problem similar to the mentioned above and I think you might have a solution...

Recently, I have got a 4G-WiFi router Huawei E5885 that works just perfectly. However, I didn't manage to connect my Nougat NST to it, but another one (repaired from recall program) Oreo NST was connected easily. Then I reinstalled Oreo on Nougat NST and WiFi connected without problem. After some trials I have realized that there is a four way shakehand authorization problem (and sometimes group authorization problem) with all Nougat ROMs, whereas the tablet can connected if there is no authorization (no password, just filtration by MAC address).

IMHO, there is a problem with a certificate or a signature for a WiFi-connection in Nougat ROM. Is it possible somehow to update/incorporate this part of WiFi module from Oreo ROM (15.1) into Nougat ROM (14.1)? Steel01

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Easily: download and run Carmageddon (no it's free of charge). If you see the intro video and can continue to play HW is working, if not or crash - not.
[Shield Tablet Android Development] tende96:
Yep, is working good Carmagaddon, like all the games! But for netflix there is a strange bug, because when i open it, gives error 15001 and close itself. :( But maybe is only for me, idk! If someone will try the rom, pls tell me if Is working or not :)

EDIT: i've managed to run netflix with two magisk modules, "liboemcrypto disabler" & "magiskhide props config" so now i have all working good!

I've had issues downloading netflix because of root safetynet) so I downoaded the app from apkmirror and the netflix app gave me another mirror link which worked then even with a rooted phone (they said itself root will not be a issue but I have to use an different build of the app provided by netflix itself, not google play)

I never tried netflix on the galaxy s3, i'm watching my stuff on a 12" windows tablet or on my computer
