[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newuxtreme:
Where can I get MM 6.0.1 Bootloader & Modem for N920G Indian Note 5 to run VoLTE Jio?

Lots of words in Title.

Short summary :-

Installed sick as hell rom for my Note 5 :-

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galax...om-sick-hell-rom-series-volume1-6-14-t3398671

I didn't install the bootloader because I don't know where to get it, there was no link for the same. Just a day prior I had installed Dr Ketans Nougat N3 ROM and it's bootloader. It's not the same recommended 'PD1' ending rather a 'PD3' ending, I don't know how much of a difference that makes, only that I don't have VoLTE working right now.

Data works, whatsapp , internet etc works.

Calls and SMS don't however.

I tried using a few fixes here and there, changes APN settings blah blah blah nothing worked.

I am now convinced that not having the right bootloader is the issue.

Can someone please tell me how / where to get the files and/or how to get VoLTE Jio 4g working on my new ROM?

All help would be MUCH appreciated!

EFIDroid is a second-stage bootloader designed to allow the device’s original bootloader code to handle the hardware interface itself, thereby simplifying the work that needs to be done to port this application to different devices. This is based on Intel’s EDK II project which has a well-established codebase and provides for substantial extensibility. This implementation utilizes Qualcomm’s open source bootloader, Little Kernel (LK), and as such, support is currently limited to Snapdragon devices.

Done, at least for the verizon variant... Will be posting a thread soon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abraha2d:
Take a look at this: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/efidroid-verizon-samsung-galaxy-note-4-t3575300/ Currently it's only for the Verizon variant, but I'm looking for testers for other variants. If you're willing to test, follow the instructions on that thread, and post with any errors you encounter.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viewsfromthepi:
And what are the risks?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abraha2d:
As with everything, make sure you backup, and store the backup somewhere other than your phone.

That being said, I believe there are no risks, other than possibly an hour or so of downtime (if something goes wrong with the installation). Since EFIDroid only modifies the boot and recovery partitions, if something goes wrong, you can always flash TWRP via Odin, and then in TWRP flash the boot.img from whichever ROM you're currently running to get back up and running.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viewsfromthepi:
Tested it on a SM-N910T Note 4 T-Mobile

Seems working but i do not know how to add second OS
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abraha2d:
Cool! Did you have to do anything other than clicking "Install" in the app?

To add a second OS, open the EFIDroid Manager app. Press the plus button at the bottom right side of the screen. Under location, select whether you want the new OS slot to be on the internal SD (the path containing "/data/media/0"), or on the external SD if you have one. Fill out the name field (and description field if you want one), then press the checkmark at the top right of the screen. Reboot, and when EFIDroid comes up, select TWRP. Then select the OS slot you just created. When TWRP comes up, install whatever ROM, Gapps, etc. you want on that slot. You may have to wipe system in TWRP if your ROM zip doesn't automatically do that for you.

Thanks for testing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
Everyone seems to have their own reason for the slow updates for the G930U and I'd like to chime in with mine. This is 100% speculation and I have no proof to back it up, so take it as such. In theory, the G930U should be updated faster as they have already had the OS updates compiled for the device and sent to the carriers for their individual updates. The carriers add all their bloat and remove features from the Samsung Vanilla update. The carriers have to do all their modifying before they release it, which can be time consuming. Since the OS is already complete before the carriers receive it for modifying, why does the Vanilla variant(G930U) take so long???

I believe firmware is the cause for the delays. The G930V firmware is designed to work great on Verizon, and Verizon doesn't care if it works well on T-Mobile, AT&T, or anyone else. The G930T is optimized for T-Mobile, and they don't care if it works well on Verizon or any others. However, the G930U is programmed to work on "ALL" carriers, so firmware has to work well across multiple carriers. I believe the delays in updates are from Samsung working out as many bugs across all the major carriers before releasing it.

I've come to this conclusion from being on U-firmware PEH, then PG9, and most recently PL2. I am on Verizon service and every update works much better than the last. I have heard the same thing from users on AT&T and T-Mobile. This could realistically be a cause for the slow updates, as they have to optimize the firmware to work across many services, whereas the carrier-specific variants are optimized to work on that one specific carrier.

Maybe I'm just being naive. Does anyone else see this as a viable reason for slower updates for the Vanilla device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] micallan_17:
you have very good points and i think it could be, but what about the SM-G930F for example, this device is the international variant and is updated frequently across countries and carriers that use the same exact device. How can samsung update that device almost every month but the US unlocked one can only be updated quarterly? My speculation is that since the US had never had an unlocked samsung device, the US carriers didn't really like the idea of samsung selling an open device in their territory and so maybe they only way they would allow it was if samsung committed itself to quarterly updates for the unlocked S8 in the US. As you, i am also speculating but given the way US carriers work i don't think i may be wrong. i do know the carriers may want that the Unlocked version is optimized but i don't think that process takes months to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
The 930F uses the Exynos processor, correct? If so, I'd suspect they have a lot more hurdles to jump on the G930U firmware with Qualcomm as another important party. The Exynos processor is made in house, so they don't need outside assistance.
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
I'm using RoW LTE on my US-LTE device and I just received the 5.1 update 5 minutes ago. I'm excited to see some improvements. It seems launcher 3 crashes were one of the most dominant problem of 5.0. good thing I'm always using Google now.

If someone has finished installing theirs, how's the experience so far? :)
[Shield Tablet General] Kaneki:
I have installed it. Nothing new... Only kernel date change... And improvements i suppose...

I just got the update and install it on my rooted and unlocked Nvidia Shield ORIGINAL Tablet. The update downloaded and successfully installed through TWRP, that said I’m pretty sure I lost root but that's easy enough to get back.

Update: You have to reinstall custom recovery. Also my device has seemed a bit laggy, it took about 15 seconds for my virtual keyboard to pop up to make this post.

I tried that using the URL pattern from Android M but I couldn't get the right changes. Maybe others will have better luck.

Btw, for those who have installed it, the new update messed up my TWRP. Just re-flash it.
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
After flashing TWRP and wiping cache and dalvik, it became quite laggy. Weird. I'll let it "settle" for a while.

I guess no matter how much this device gets updated, it can never escape the occasional lags. I suspect that these are caused by Nvidia apps. I wonder why nobody has called out this phenomenon yet.

Or maybe, it's about time that Nvidia release some technical docs for the geniuses of XDA to be able to make their own mods or improvements.

[Shield Tablet General] RichDem:
Thanks for the reply,

I presume you meant you downloaded the OTA upgrade from Nvidia, how did you stop the installation from starting so you could then use flashfire?
[Shield Tablet General] robgee789:
once it has downloaded it gives you the option to install just press the home button or if you have already came away from the update screen it just pops up in a notification that there is an update just ignore it and load flashfire mate
[Shield Tablet General] RichDem:
Perfect,

Thank you. Downloading now

When I start Flashfire it notifies me there is a system update, if I hit OK the app crashes. Do you know where the downloaded file is stored so I can flash it manually
[Shield Tablet General] robgee789:
I'm not sure why that happens mate I've used flashfire for the past few updates but I can't remember where the update is kept, I think they changed the location in the 5.0 update

The original shield tablet WiFi and ROW LTE versions have it already. The US LTE version has not made it out (yet?). This week I updated my US LTE with the ROW recovery image. Works well. Only issue so far is that i get 4G but may not be getting LTE speeds.
[Shield Tablet General] caseyatbt:
Have you been able to verify the LTE yet?
[Shield Tablet General] Frankenscript:
The tablet definitely isn't getting/reporting LTE. I was in Chicago for a couple days in an area where there was strong 4G/LTE signal. My other devices were reporting LTE and getting ~20Mbps. Shield was reporting only 4G and getting about 8 Mbps.

I will start another thread to see if anyone knows a fix.

[Shield Tablet General] Frankenscript:
Understood. But it turns out my tablet is actually getting HSPA+ signal. Check this out:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71750880&postcount=9

The shocking thing is that per the diagnostics I'm looking at, it seems to be connecting via a CDMA network. Didn't even know ATT had any CDMA. But if I use my phone (which connects to ATT LTE properly) and do a search for all available networks, I see it (ATT RAT WCDMA) in the list of available networks. Apparently using the ROW image on the US tablet tweaks it such that it connects to that network instead of the proper GSM/LTE network. While the speed issue is really only a minor annoyance to me, the GSM/CDMA issue may be a dealbreaker, because I mostly use the tablet at work, where there's no wifi, and only ATT GSM/LTE signal from repeaters through my building. I doubt the weird ATT CDMA thing will be present there. I might have to flash back to US LTE MM (4.4.0 Nvidia image) if so. I am on vacation this week but back to work next week.

hello everyone I need help for my old shield LTE RoW. I uninstalled supersu by mistake and lost the root. The tablet is equipped with the latest update to nougat. I tried to make the TWRP supersu flash recommended but goes in a loop and I have to restore from recovery. I saw various guides but refer to marshmallow. Does anyone have a solution? I'm forced to do before a downgrade mm?

Inviato dal mio SHIELD Tablet utilizzando Tapatalk
[Shield Tablet General] Frankenscript:
1. Full flash of Nougat 5.0 ROW (recovery, boot, system, userdata, blob) via fastboot

2. Connect to wifi, let it get the 5.1 OTA, and apply it.

3. Recommended: Do a factory reset, then let it boot normally

4. Use fastboot to flash the twrp.img to it

5. Boot to recovery (TWRP), flash SuperSU using TWRP

6. Boot normally, let SuperSU update if needed, you should have root.

I did the process above to my US LTE device (using the ROW image) and it worked fine, though I am now having cellular connectivity issues that may be related to using the ROW image (I don't recommend it for US devices!), or may not. I've since flashed back to the US image for Marshmallow, but that's another story.

In any case, there was no problem flashing TWRP via Fastboot then flashing SuperSU via Twrp
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
This procedure is dangerous for me, because it is pirotablet. There is no other way to not lose any data?

Also because the tablet now works perfectly, it just does not have the root.

Inviato dal mio D6503 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Shield Tablet General] Frankenscript:
Until the 5.1 ROW stuff is posted by Nvidia, so you can sideload it then immediately NoMoreOTA it, you're probably stuck at 5.0. Also pay attention to this thread which is an optimized build (I think for both versions K1 and original, interspersed): https://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/rom-optimized-stock-shield-tablet-k1-t3437791

He doesn't remove OTA though so be careful.
[Shield Tablet General] gluca78:
I finally took your advice. The tablet age corrupted because I had tried to install an application that makes recovery hid me the root to some apps that did not journey. Full wipe e nomoreota and Last SuperSU and work. However a nice clean sometimes is good and speeds. seeing that I am, I will not go out, you know any way to hide the root to some apps that do the detection of SuperSU?

Hi guys,

I finally got round to doing the 5.1 update. I did the 5.0 update some time ago, but went back to MM after having a few issues.

Anyway, 5.1 seems to be good except that my battery will not charge beyond 90% for some reason. I've already tried various things like wiping cache, battery calibration apps, draining down to zero and recharging, but it still won't go above 90%.

Does anyone have any other ideas before I try a factory reset, please?

BTW, TWRP is reporting that the battery is at 100%. Is that a clue?

Thanks for any help. :)

You can either go to nvidia's download section for their firmwares or search XDA on midgetmob's thread on all ROMs and flashing guides for shield tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
There is an observation about TWRP that it seems to add an extra 10% on its battery display. I think the developers there are already looking into it. My suggestion is use BitObession's latest TWRP version.

5.1 in my experience is THE best firmware Nvidia has ever done for the Shield Tablet - stable, smooth and snappy. I haven't had any issues at all since installing it EXCEPT occasional controller disconnection which I can attribute to unstable I WiFi signal (im having this problem since 4.4 and Nvidia developers are already checking on this report so I'm expecting a 5.2 release) If you don't care about your old data, go for factory reset to have a clean start. Otherwise, use TWRP to back up data.
[Shield Tablet General] Xi2or:
Thanks for the reply Son-j, didn't know about TWRP battery display issue.

I'm going for the factory reset, as I tried clearing the cache with the FlashFire app and it seems to have screwed up my adopted storage. Luckily I backed up my app data with Helium before I updated.

Hopefully that will cure the charging problem.

Cheers :)
[Shield Tablet General] Xi2or:
Quick follow up to previous post.

Did the factory reset and tablet still refuses to charge any higher than 90%!

Next step, re-flash with nVidia recovery image. Surely that will do it?

UPDATE: Did the re-flash and charge problems have gone. Now goes to 100%:)

Incidently, I didn't lose my userdata like I expected, all apps still working & adopted storage also OK.

Hope this helps someone, cheers.
[Shield Tablet General] Son-j:
Mine became perfectly ok after factory reset. Had to let go of my data but it was worth it.

There's actually no guarantee. Aside from software and setup differences, we have subtle manufacturing and hardware differences as well. Just try it out after you secure your bases.
