Im on stock and used the official twrp (eu.dl.twrp.me/foster/twrp-3.2.3-0-foster.img). When I try fastboot boot recovery.img its just the same. I see the nvidia logo and nothing happens.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] simonk206:
With stock try the experimental twrp file posted in twrp thread. I think it was February. It worked fine for me. Official didn't work for me with stock too.

I tried the experimental twrp file. It was just the same. Stuck at nvidia logo. Then I tried to flash this: videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1965. Result was that I couldnt boot into system and couldn`t boot into custom recovery. I only see the nvidia logo.

Then I tried to go back on stock with this: nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-android-tv/android-8-oreo/shield-tv-2017-restore-to-stock-recovery/. But it didnt change anything. I cant boot into system and cant boot into recovery. All I can do is go into fastboot mode.

is an update for lineageos 16 on this device in the works? i want to continue using this device in the future but worried about the lack of updates?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] simonk206:
There will be a new update soon. Read the changelog in the Updater.

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] I bought a remote control with 2.4ghz usb stick today. When I plug in the stick, the sound is gone. When I pull it out, the sound is back. However, the control of the remote control works flawlessly. With my 2.4ghz mouse, I have no problem with the sound.

You know how to fix it? Maybe a problem in the system?

Edit: I will try it with stock rom tomorrow.

Edit2: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.de/ulk/itm/264245921055

Edit3: but now the bass of my sound system works (reported its not working some time ago) :confused:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Huh, weird. On the last edit.

So, that link says it supports both wifi and bluetooth. Does everything work if paired via bt instead of using the wifi adapter? To maybe narrow down where the issue is.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] simonk206:
Yes, I don't understand that with my Sound system too.

There are 2 different models and I got the one with wifi.

I'm on stock now and everything works fine. But I think it's really hard to find the problem on LOS. So I think I will buy the one with Bluetooth.

Hi, enjoying big time with the latest nightly build, but an issue came. I have disabled the usb debugging to have the 2 usb ports available. So currently just 1 is working (the non usb debugbport). And another thing, every usb drive is detected as otg instead usb drive so some apps doesnt see the drive (emulators). Any recommendation or tip?.

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] Hi.

I have been trying to get this to work for ages now, I've tried every version of twrp+bootloader available and simply cannot get it to boot. It's a different problem each time, stuck at nvidia logo, black screen, etc. I'm using foster_e_hdd.

I can't tell based on your posts if it's in a working state or not right now. Could you clarify what would need to be used to get your LineageOS running on this device?

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] arcooke:
Hey.. the only reason I'm looking to install a 3rd party ROM is to hopefully be able to increase the number of volume steps when the volume is changed on the device. I use an external speaker and the volume is always either too loud or too quiet. I often can't set it to a comfortable volume. Does LOS expose any options that might help with this? Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Been a while since I posted here, so small info dump update.

Nvidia has officially released Pie as Shield Experience 8.0.0. The recovery images are available, but no source yet. I've done some analysis of the recovery images and things look fairly positive. The new graphics stack is in better shape than the one from 7.2.x, though I still haven't got it to boot to launcher yet. Once the source release is out, I'll be able to finish importing everything and hopefully a lot of the stuff I've worked on over the last year will 'just work'. But I have no indication of how long it's going to take to get said source release.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Jvision:
Does this build support widevine l1?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Greetings,

I've noticed that the following have now been released by nvidia:

- NVIDIA SHIELD TV 2017 Developer OS Image 8.0.0

- SHIELD TV (2017 & 2015 edition) open source and binary driver release for Software Upgrade 8.0.0

Are we still waiting on any other source code to allow for the development of the next version of LineageOS for the Shield TV?

Thanks,

jK

Hi!

First of all great ROM. I have been rooting and installing customs roms on my android phones since like forever. But for ATV it was different for me. I installed the normal gapps and completely busted the system.

So after a full wipe I did a clean install and installed the tvstock 8.1 opengapps and I got the wizard and everything. After that I choose START. I briefly see the background popping up and then a black screen.

If I connect a mouse I can see the cursor but there is not much else I can do. Also I cannot seem to do anything with the remote after choosing start.

Is there something I am doing wrong? I have a Shield from 2017 and downgraded to get the official TWRP (latest) to work.

I used the latest Nightly and also tried the Nightly from 26th september but that does not seem to make a difference.

O and I can press home two times to see the recent apps (it just shows no items). But that's about it.

For some reason the launcher doesn't seems to be working.

I just tried a version from 3 september but unfortunately the same issue.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
I found that I had to downgrade to Android 7 only then could I install LineageOS and have a working TWRP. Perhaps give that a try?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] thatrunks:
Hi [MENTION=714719]JamesKinds[/MENTION] I have already downgraded and TWRP is fully working.

I also can install the Rom including tvstock gapps.

After that I get the mentioned problem however.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Hi. I'm afraid I can't help you as I used Lineage OS without gapps (to reduce google tracking).

As an alternative to LOS you could try full android which you can find over here:

http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewforum.php?f=25&sid=5470e62bdcf6e0af58b36abb0bdc690a

I settled for Pie but there is a GSI Oreo ROM available as well.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] thatrunks:
[MENTION=714719]JamesKinds[/MENTION]

I managed to fix this. I don't know for sure but when I googled for Gapps for Lineage OS I read on some sites LineageOS recommends MindTheGapps instead of OpenGapps. I don't know what is true of this statement because on the official Wiki I see both OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps.

But after downloading the Mind The Gapps Package for ATV the setup worked and I did not got a black screen anymore.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754469953 MindTheGapps 8.1 ATV ARM X64

Hope this helps anyone who runs into this.

[MENTION=1416222]Steel01[/MENTION] maybe useful to add this to the install / first post?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
I'm using opengapps on my daily driver darcy with no issue. I've not done a full clean reinstall in some time, so I can't say for certain that something hasn't broken somewhere. But I do some atv work for opengapps, if something is broken, it needs to be fixed.

Though fwiw, I'm mostly focused on trying to polish 16.0. It boots and stuff mostly works, but there's still several points that need finished before it goes official. A couple things even before I release unofficial too. Like the graphics color space being wrong, making everything look washed out.

Edit: I guess I should make another statement too. Doing development on tegra became noticeably more difficult this cycle. Nvidia did not release the full aosp source like they have for every previous version. And for 8.0.1, they didn't even release proper kernel history, might as well have been a tarball release like mediatek or other garbage oems. And everything I'm hearing is that this isn't going to be fixed. Nvidia will only release what they're required to by law, gpled code like the kernel. So it's going to become increasingly more difficult to keep up as time goes on.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Thank you for the update. That is certainly disappointing from Nvidia's side.

As an aside, are you aware of any other 4K capable Android boxes that allow for LineageOS to be loaded onto them?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
There's very few other atv devices period that have Lineage devs working on them. Foster/darcy (shield android tv), pearlyn (razer forge), fugu (nexus player), and to a much lesser extent molly (google adt 1). Fwiw, I don't know of any other atv device that comes close to the satv in power, even four and a half years later. As a side project, I'm messing with the gpd xd plus to put LIneage atv on it. It has an mt8173 (chipset release in 2017) and so far, the gpu based benchmarks I'm running put it at less than a fifth of the power of the t210 in the satv. I don't think rockchip or heaven forbid allwinner is any better. And since one of my interests in these is gaming potential, it's really disappointing to not see any increase in going on five years now. If nvidia really is out of the game, I don't know that anyone else is going to step up.

Fwiw, I'm still not planning to stop development here. There's some stuff in the works that should make Lineage support of the satv *significantly* better in the long run. But it's not been a quick process. Probably still gonna be another 2-3 months before I get 16.0 out. But hopefully (*fingers crossed*) when it does, it'll be a solid better featured release.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
I can't thank you enough for your ongoing work. I've had a look at the plethora of Android Boxes / Kodi Boxes that mainly come out of China, but we're in the same situation where they are running a stock ROM with god knows what else happening under the hood.

I've tried building a significantly more expensive x86 box to do what the satv does, and I must say that the sheer graphic performance was disappointing. I also can't find anything better hardware wise than the satv.

Thank you for your ongoing work. It is greatly appreciated!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] andacro:
Hi! Got an unlocked boot loader with the latest update. Please help me with a guide on how to install this.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Unfortunately you will need to downgrade to Android 7 before you can install the currently available TWRP and LOS for the satv.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Adromir:
I have a question concerning this Rom. Is it actually a "pure" Lineageos Rom as you know it from a phone or is it a ATV Flavor of lineageos coming with leanback-launcher etc?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darktyroll:
I dont want to be rude or something but i dont understand what is the point of this LineageOS if is still an ATV version and not a tablet mode? I really dont understand what are the bennefits, can somebody or admin explain me, please?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] donthateme702:
I'm on Android 7.0 but i noticed gapps download is on 6.0? When i go to 7.0 it says need patched rom for webview.,so do i just stick with gapps 6.0 version? Just making sure.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Lineage is 7.1, actually. So for the ATV builds you want arm64, 7.1, tvstock. For the tablet builds, whichever size you want. I personally stick with micro.

To answer the earlier question about what use is it. For one, it's a newer version of Android: 7.1 instead of 7.0. It has up to date security patches. Can installer newer gapps. Root is more easily managed. No bloat. Lots of things. I like the leanback interface for a TV set top box. But I also want more control over what's running on it.

In other news, I still haven't taken the time to get a new tablet build out... One of my current projects is scripting builds and uploads to my personal lineage update instance. If I get that all straightened out, I'll be able to do more regular releases of these unofficial alternate builds. Just have to work some logistics out since I don't want to murder the web host VM I'm using.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] donthateme702:
Thanks so arm64,7.1 tv stock. and how does it work on the shield Android Tv 2017? And problems or everything smooth so far? And do you need to wipe anything before flash?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] donthateme702:
Just flashed everything went smooth,but its just sitting at Nvidia logo and not doing anything? been about 4or 5 minutes.

went back wipe,flashed lineage os,then gapps and superSU rebooted system and still hung at nvidia logo on shield? and i used supersu arm64 is that correct one or is it just the arm version i use? still no go after 3 times,just hangs at the logo.UGH
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Mucchan:
Flashed this ROM on a PC monitor and went through the initial setup process just fine, but when I plugged the Shield TV back to my Samsung TV it complained about unsupported resolution and it detected the transmitted resolution as 720x480 and won't display anything. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] 515gsw:

With no problems whatsoever. Wiped cache/dalvik before and after. And now the screen is stuck at the Nvidia logo...

What to do next? How to enter TWRP? Has anybody a possible solution for this? Questions questions...

Thanks in advance
[Shield Android TV Android Development] evilsaftan:
I was stuck on nvidia logo too but I change the the “su” package for one on the full android forum from zulu99 and work perfectly

In the other side a was unable to display lineage os on my 4K tv only on my 1080 monitor

i had to change the to 3.0.2 and it worked

[Shield Android TV Android Development] 515gsw:
Where can I find the correct SU package? Okay thanks, I'll have to try on a 1080p monitor then.

What did you change to 3.0.2? And where can I download it?

I'm not succesfull to enter the bootloader with the Nvidia controller pressing the A+B buttons. I've tried it a dozen times.

Pressing + hold the buttons and then connect the power cable, or connect the power cable and pressing + hold the buttons at the same time when the green LED is lit. Both don't work. It is a 2017 device.

Power on the device

The controller rumbles

Gives me the message: Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader.

The controller rumbles

It Shows me the Nvidia logo

The controller rumbles again, the screen flashes.

And again it shows me the Nvidia logo and it hangs.

Is it possible I've messed up the bootloader? Anyone a possible solution for this?

Thanks in advance.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] evilsaftan:

i use the su packet from the" Full Android Nougat for Shield TV ' forum from zulu99

if you have problems entering the bootloader with the control method try different cables for any reason my original cable stop entering the bootloader via the control method after i try more that 10 cables one work
[Shield Android TV Android Development] 515gsw:
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it doesn't work whatever I try :confused:

I give up. It's not the first device I've rooted etc. Probably something wrong with this Shield TV, or I don't have the "correct" USB cable.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] techjunky90:
If gen 1 controller ever becomes compatible, this will be the permanent ROM on my shield. Question, have you ever tinkered with over clocking ram/GPU/CPU if even only a small over clock? Would be sweet to include with your ROM.

Is there ant documentation as to how to pair it manually?

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Steel01:
Wow, I need to check this thread more often, not getting post notifications for some reason...

[MENTION=8446581]515gsw[/MENTION]: Blast, I really didn't want to hear that. Had hoped that issue was just something weird with my darcy (the 2017 model). But I get that too. My unofficial builds boot perfectly fine, but the official builds hang at the boot logo. :sigh: Which is a pain to figure out how to debug. I'll look more into it and see what I can find. For the moment, you'll have to either go back to stock or one of my old unofficial releases.

[MENTION=3669061]crnkoj[/MENTION]: It's described here. Couple additional caveats, though. When a controller disconnects, the p2p network gets destroyed, so you have to create another one and repair every time you use it. Also, some stuff changed with N, I don't recall if I even merged the stuff to get p2p enabled in the first place... If you try it and the create network commands fail, let me know.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] 515gsw:
Thanks for your reply. Nvidia was so kind to swap the unit for a new one :laugh: I feel realy lucky that they did this because there was no way to enter the bootloader and put older verisons on it. I'm a bit afraid to put Lineage on it right now...

I'll wait a bit till there's more information available and full 4k support or can you provide me a clear guide wich is noob proof to get Lineage on it? Either way, it's all good. I've a working 2017 shield now :cool:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] m00m00:
Greetings you said there was a manual way to pair the controller. Do have the steps and are you willing to share them? I am not worried about bricking or soft bricking my device I will find a way to resurrect it somehow. I just hate being tethered by the usb cable.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't much like the OS at first but since having it for a while and customising it I really like it. Thanks for the custom rom.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Sure is. Just search for shield developer section on nvidia web site. They post standard and pre-rooted ROMs for the satv. Let ms know if you can't find the link and I'll dig it up for you.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darky444:
personally I did not succeed because the update Oreo is forced when we are on Android 7 and I could not do the manipulation bootloader, nor with the controller to boot twrp via adb
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
Hi, you can still use the images to downgrade to Android 7 and then install LineageOS.

Go to: https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload

Download "NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV Pro Developer Only OS image - 7.2.3" (about 20 files down the page).

You'll need a computer with working fastboot and adb installed.

You will also need a male to male USB connector to connect the satv to your computer.

Once this is done run the "flash all" .sh or .bat file (depending if you are on Linux or Windows).

Your satv should now be back to Android 7.

Give it a try and let us know if you are still stuck.

Once you have Android 7 on the satv you can proceed to install TWRP and LineageOS.

Good luck :svetius:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] darky444:
7.2.3 is Oreo ?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] JamesKinds:
