[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snukkums:
Hello Everyone,

So my tablet randomly had issues when I woke up a couple of days ago, it will sit at the nvidia splash\boot screen and never get past that. When I try to boot into recovery with power + volume down I will get to the recovery screen. When I choose recovery it will show the android laying down with the red exclamation and say no command under it. This also happens when I flash just the recovery image as well.

I found quite a few people with issues similar to mine, but I keep getting a fail to write error.

I followed this guide http://developer.download.nvidia.com/mobile/shield/ROM/ST8/5_1_0/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt and keep getting a write failed error, I tried both the 5.1 and 5.2 images. The output of the command prompt is below.

Press any key to exit...

So does anyone have any more Ideas I could try? Is my device broken? I found some people mentioning that maybe my flash storage chip is bad.

Thank you

Edit: Does anyone know if this is the correct size for it to be reporting on the "target reported max download size of 100663296 bytes" That seems really small like only 100 Mb.
