Huh?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Santho07:
Hi, after installing a custom rom, i just edited the Build number via Kenel Auditor to SM-G925I(as it was my actual model name) from SM-G925F . Before i enabled Reactivation Lock in settings menu.

After that i tried to restart the phone, now its showing "Custom Binary Blocked by Reactivation Lock" over the top of the logo, i can't enter recovery, only Bootloader Download mode is accessible, can't flash anything via Odin, it gives me error, what can i do now?

Help plz ! TIA :angel:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
You can't use reactivation lock even with root.

You need to flash a fresh stock ROM.

I had an FRP lock on my phone and in order to fix the problem i installed the AP from the stock rom and since then I keep recieving IMS service stopped ,com.sec.epdg not working, system stopped and other messages like that and the screen responds very slowly if at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
When you flash AP you should also flash BP, CSC and CP at the same time or else you'll get stability issues
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] boxlink:
Hello, I had been using an alarm program and I used a "beep beep..." continuous notification and I sometimes slept through it and I later noticed hearing possible degrading of the speaker for the phone. When it beeped I would hear slight static at the same time of the beeps. I think my speaker is dying and want to know if anyone has experienced this behavior or know if there is a fix or if I would have to buy a new phone. I have connected my phone to 2 different Bluetooth speakers, one a Jam Plus and the other an Anker Soundcore Select AKA Soundcore 2. I have been hearing an semi frequent chirping sound like a high pitched bird chirp as well as some static sounds. I hear it with and without music playing I used Pandora, Spotify and YouTube.

Update: Just used my LG Volt 2 with the Anker Speaker and the chirping was absent so it is my Honor 5x. Those sleep ins may have bricked my speaker and Bluetooth functionality.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] chrisleLP:
How old is your phone?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hassanjavaid8181:
Do you mean you have damaged the hardware?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] itisiryan:
You might need to senf it for repair.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] boxlink:
The phone is definitely out of warranty. Yes, the alarm sound has kept going at least 5 times for at least an hour at the most unknown the other times. It may even be something other than the speaker due to the chirping sound that is transferred through the blue tooth speakers. It would probably cost as much as an honor 6x to get it fixed. I've thought about buying the 6x it's cheaper than my 5x at launch but I had asked honor support about the 6x getting the oreo update and they said it wasn't going to get it.

Update: I was wrong about the price, I thought I saw the honor 6x around 160-180 something. Either it was on sale or I was looking at something else maybe a refurbished.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] itisiryan:
We cannot trust Honor support about updates. They never tell accurate things.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Hello everyone, this is the updated version of this guide. Most will stay the same as in the old guide but there will be a few

crucial

changes, both good and bad, so choose for yourself (you can always follow the original old guide here). Anyways, the major "update" to the guide will point you to install microG services onto your tablet. I'm doing this because I've noticed that it boosts performance and RAM management quite substantially and because I haven't found an active topic about microG on this xda subforum. Anyways, if you don't know what MicroG is, google is your friend and you can learn more here.

So, here are a few pros to using microG:

Better performance

Better battery life

Better RAM management

Also a few cons :

Many google services won't work perfectly (though most are at least usable)

Google Play Games

won't work at all

So in order to use MicroG and lineage OS you are going to have to download a special fork of official LOS from here

This is the main difference between the old guide which you can follow and check out here, and the new guide. Also, if you do decide to use this and don't mind giving up Google play games (Youtube, chrome and other stuff works mostly) you shouldn't flash google apps.

Anyways, this update is going to be the most useful to people (like me) who use the tablet mostly for media consumption and some light games.

Also, you are going to have to make a few tweaks inside the ROM to get google apps to work :

Download F-Droid (very useful) and with F-Droid download Yalp Store (this will be your new Google play store)

Download Google contacts sync app

Give every google app you've downloaded all the permissions it needs manually (quite important, do it in settings -> apps -> some google app -> permissions)

Go through MicroG settings app self check tool and get everything to have a tick

That's about it, I found this to really boost my RAM performance to the point that I could have a few lighter apps open and when I would return to Chrome my 4 or 5 tabs would still stay open, though, your results may vary so please state your opinions about this in the comments. Have fun !

(Also, expect another update to this when we get fully functional Oreo, I will try the new Android GO then and report back if it works well)

Note : please don't hold me responsible if you brick your tablet or lose your data. Like with every other tech related guide, do your own bit of research before jumping into the guide. Blindly following this should work but if you want to lower the chances of messing something up, do your homework before hand, not after you do something wrong :)
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
When you say "change the filesystem of /data /cache to f2fs". Is that both Cache and Data?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Yes, that is what I ment. Here, I edited the OP, also added one more trick I use :)
[Shield Tablet General] DeBoX:
Excellent guide, but a quick question, does the pen work properly? I do a decent amount of drawing and note taking with the pen so...

Anyone ? Lineage OS + Pen = ?

Thanks!
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
You don't really get any of the extra features for it but it works. Palm rejection and stuff seems to be a little worse but stock seems to frequently have detection issues with the stylus where I need to turn the screen off/on to continue using it and los seems to be a little better about that.
[Shield Tablet General] alcopsy:
Yeah!

Change filesytem of data, and cache to f2fs?

Hi.

Thanks for this tutorial , but im stuck at "change filesytem of data, and cache to f2fs in BitOBSessiOn's F2FS recovery"

The only thing im able to is wipe data and cache. When push the button for "repair or change file directory" i get wrong parameter or something like that.

What am i missing?

Thanks

Knievel
[Shield Tablet General] moliverac8:
Two questions, will this work in the K1 tablet and does it really make a difference if you come from stock?

Enviado desde mi Mi A1 mediante Tapatalk
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Hi,

You have to go advanced wipe -> repair or change file system.

Make sure you flashed the multirom twrp (its the one with a dragon or something in its logo).

Also, there are hundreds of video tutorials for changing to f2fs, the procedure is the same on every device, so try making a few google searches if I was not clear enough.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
It works on shield k1 (my tablet is k1), and in my experience it helps to come from stock because then you will be on the latest firmware which is good (better charging etc)
[Shield Tablet General] coopmaster:
I literally came to the forum to do this. I was using the optimized stock ROM and it was just so bad, i think it may have been my adopted storage.

Anyhow installed this and instantly saw a difference.
[Shield Tablet General] moliverac8:
Do I need to unlock the bootloader in order to do the installation of this post

?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that

It's really easy to do luckily
[Shield Tablet General] evilshinryu89:
hello guys

if I want to go back to stock, what procedure I should to follow? I made backup before to install this rom, I have to restore this only?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
This guide already provides you with the link to stock ROM (it's literally the first step of this guide). Click the link and follow nVidia's guide or just restore from TWRP.
[Shield Tablet General] Interceptor777:
Thanks a lot dude! My Shield K1 feels quite a lot faster now even though it's still kinda slow lol.

I wish Nvidia updated the hardware (More RAM, faster storage) when they released the K1 but oh well. This is good enough for now.
[Shield Tablet General] igeigeige:
Thank you for the guide!
[Shield Tablet General] Bitcloud30:
what app did you use for tweaking the CPU profile :)
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) from play store
[Shield Tablet General] Bitcloud30:
Thank you ? will it reset the CPU profile if i unistall the app?
[Shield Tablet General] Mr Boourns:
I wanna try this put but I still want to use the nvidia apps that come with the stock rom. Is there anywhere i can get them?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
I don't think so. Just make sure to tick apply on boot.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
There are some nvidia apps on the play store, and custom ROMs come with the shield console mode app and the shield camera app.

Edit : there are also some apps here https://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/development/shield-apps-cyanogenmod-12-t3070116
[Shield Tablet General] C4SCA:
And does the shield controller work? What about nvidia's button mapper is it present??
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
I don't know to be honest because I don't own an nvidia controller.

Sometimes you have to try things out for yourself, I provided you with all the information needed. Do the community a favour a write a guide for getting nvidia apps to work on lineageos :)
[Shield Tablet General] C4SCA:
I still didnt moved from stock, waiting for the final update to choose. If i do change to lineage, and find out how to make it work, i will write a guide of course✌
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Well if it means that much to you, spend an hour or two trying things out and flashing. I don't know how to do it, if I did I would have showed you how :)
[Shield Tablet General] moliverac8:
After installing this, I have random reboots all the time. It's unusable.

Hi, I've just read your thread and since my tablet is almost unusable (except for videos) I would like to follow your guide! One question, if I install a non stock ROM will Netflix will still play videos in HD? That's one of the reason why I bought this tablet!

I Want To breath Too! HELP Me!

Hi there, Thank for the Rom and taking the time to share your good work but I could use some help please.

I've followed your instructions and very clear I wish more were like this, I'm not a noob with roms and flashing and was looking forward to breathing that new life into my K1 but for the life of me its remains with smile logo with moving ball and that's as far as i get please could i get some advice.

Here is what i've Used and installed and in that order:

minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3.zip

SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201506.zip

(reset tablet and flashed to stock 5.2 boots perfectly and continued to next phase)

twrp-3.1.1-1-shieldtablet.img

TWRP_3.1.1-2_multirom_shieldtablet_20170621-01.img

converted ext4 to f2fs for data and cache (separately) both confirm there on new filesystem

I do there next zip file separately not queued and after BitO-K-F2FS-inject that is when i reboot

lineage-14.1-20171103-nightly-shieldtablet-signed.zip (notice on display text theres a ext4 ?)

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20171105.zip

BitO-K10-009-shieldtablet.zip

BitO-K-F2FS-inject-shieldtablet-N.zip

reboot tablet!

Smile Smile Smile Sad Smile please help me....
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Try flashing again (you don't have to go through the whole process again, just f2fs -> rom -> gapps-> kernel-> injector) and give it MORE time, just let it smile for as long as it wants to, it can take as long as 10 minutes to boot for the first time. Good luck :)
[Shield Tablet General] CcX85:
Hi there thanks for replying to the post and the good news is after giving good one last go and before rebooting I done a wipe of data so it was a clean boot and the smile last for about 5 mins at best compared to the 30+ I had been seeing and I have to say boot up time and the feel of the OS are just BREATHLESS compared to 5.2Stock even after being a sleep for a little while I can just pick it up and browse... Something we know was not possible on stock

BIG ? FROM ME...... ?
[Shield Tablet General] rolozombie:
i updated the rom and now i just see the linage Os logo, the one with the blue line
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Don't dirty flash and don't do ota. That replaces your f2fs kernel with stock -> no boot so please only do clean flashes :)
[Shield Tablet General] rolozombie:
got it thanks!.

about using the SD why do you suggest format in pc? does it not format it correctly on the shield?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Well, according to a post here on xda (can't find it atm, but it is here somewhere on shield tablet subforum) and some other places, for maximum benefit you should format with PC. Although, I don't have an SD card reader for my PC so I tried how it would perform after formating my SD via TWRP and it works fine for me (you should know though, I only use my SD card for saving movies and multimedia, not for shared storage or games).
[Shield Tablet General] rolozombie:
how would you go back to your old file system, i cant use the SD as internal storage for my games, it says its already full.
[Shield Tablet General] Sh0X31:
Why you flash "BitO-K10-009" and not this BitO-K10-011
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Because many users including me found 009 to be more stable. Feel free to flash any kernel you like, by flashing 011 you can help the dev by reporting bugs and logs :)
[Shield Tablet General] DeBoX:
Hi just a few questions

does console mode work?

Does the gamepadmapper work?

Any known elements that don't work?

Thanks in advance!
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
You are better off asking those questions on the theads dedicated to the roms. But to answer your question, yes the console mode works on both AEX and LineageOS.

Not sure what you mean by gamepadmapper, and regarding "known elements that don't work", both ROMs are quite polished out by now so there aren't any that I know of tbh.
[Shield Tablet General] DeBoX:
Hi

The reason I tried here is because I figured this is where people would have tested this method and those particular ROMs the most ( also the other threads were a bit more generic for dev purposes and some quite old/ long)

The gamepad mapper is a Nvidia shield native "app" (overlay feature) used to map nvidia shield controller buttons in games , I use it from time to time so kinda keen on making sure it's there and still usable

Thanks non the less :)

[MENTION=7395801]fpozar[/MENTION] i'm going to update the ROM what steps is/are going to be repeated beside the ROM? :) just want to confirm my instinct if it correct :D
[Shield Tablet General] marvi0:
Thanks for a great guide op. What kernel manager app are you guys using?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
You don't have to repeat the steps that get you to the latest firmware, if you already did that then there's no need to do it again. Though it wouldn't hurt, but I don't think it's as important as doing it for the first time. You also don't have to reflash TWRP.

Good luck :)
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
I personally use Kernel Adiutor from play store
[Shield Tablet General] JohnM109R:
Hi guys can anyone post a new link for the TWRP Please :)
[Shield Tablet General] Bitcloud30:
How about reflashing the f2fs should i relfash it everytime i update the rom? :)
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Yes, you need to reflash the kernel and injector
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:

I edited OP.
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
While we are on the subject of TWRP. We don't need the multirom version any more?
[Shield Tablet General] DFA1:
I'm trying to do this. I installed the latest TWRP using the gstore app. I can't access my microsd while in TWRP recovery. When I boot to the system, I can't access device storage... its odd...
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
I'm wondering seeing that I'm already rooted with bootloader unlocked on V-6.0.1 android on my Sheild do I need to go back to an older version of Android to make this work properly?

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Are you making a statement or are you asking
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
Its a question. Hence the question mark.

Multi ROM used to be part of the instructions and now its not mentioned. I find the multi ROM buggy so would swap it if there is a better twrp version.
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
I have the latest TWRP on my Sheild now however I'm yet confused. Seeing that the multi Rom is buggy, are you saying that I should just reinstall the existing version i'm currently using? And thanks for your input. ...
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
As far as I am aware. You need bitobsessions multirom twrp recovery in order to support f2fs. I was just wondering if anybody knew of a more smooth twrp that supports f2fs. Bit obsessions recovery is buggy for me and often hangs or reboots when entering recovery.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
This.

You need his TWRP if you want F2FS, if you don't need it, feel free to use normal TWRP. F2FS sounds fancy but no one even confirmed that it helps on this device. I use it but that does not mean you have to.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Just flash the latest ROM (5.3 or 5.2), there is no need to go back to factory ROM unless you really want to do full factory reset. Going to oldest and then to newest certanly won't do harm to you, but you don't have to do that every time.
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
I hear what you are saying, that's where it gets confusing at, when I purchased my Sheild 11 months ago it came with 6.0.1 and I'm constantly getting onscreen notifications to upgrade to yet another version, however, I ignore it even though it nags the heck out of me. So my point is if 5.3 or 5.2 is the latest versions then what do I have here?
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
You have a pretty old Marshmallow version. What I would do is flash latest 5.2 or 5.3 if it's already available to you and then flash some custom ROM by following this guide. Nougat firmware brings some bug fixes and improvements to overall stability so I would definitely go for that, also, you can't even flash LineageOS for example without prior having at least 5.0 stock.
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Question, what is F2FS? I'm sorry I'm still in the learning stage.

I did some research on this one and found the answer to my question....
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
Basically it's supposed to be a faster filesystem
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Thank you sooooo much, this just cleared my head. I'm thinking numbers but version 6 is older than 5, wow! what a relief...:o

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

This whole procedure just got my head in a tail spend, because of the way its outlined and I know! it's me not knowing just how things work. Slowly I'm catching on. Thanks for everyones help..
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
You missed one key point.

Your "version 6" is actually android version 6!

When you hear 5.2/5.1 etc. people mean update version for the Shield Tablet. You see, 5.2 is actually android 7, bu it's called update 5.2 . The same thing is with your android Marshmallow (6.0.1), in nVidia's nomenclature it is the update 4.X. Hope this clears everything now :)
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Yes it did! this is whats been appearing constantly on my Sheild as an OTA 7 upgrade but I always ignore it, Hummmmm, so hopefully, after I'm finished with all of this tweaking I shouldn't see that OTA message again. Another note: I see where some are saying that the multirom TWRP is not needed, whats your take on that one?

Thanks in advance
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
Its needed if you want to change the filesystem to F2FS. I was hoping that there might be an alternative to bitobsessions twrp "multirom", but it would appear there isn't. It works and does the job it is intended for, but it hangs and reboots on my tablet when booting into recovery, especially when I boot to recovery from restart options (that nearly never works for me and just reboots).
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Yes, have heard others say that its buggy, however, it does work. Gonna give it a whirl and see what happens. Will inform the group no matter what the outcome is... Again thanks
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Sad news I must say! after all of the info here and following all of the steps close I still managed to brick my Sheild K1.

Ended up with this (version UNDEF_BUILD) as the build when I go into fastboot . Kinda weird though because I can still get into twrp-3.1.1-1, just can't load the ( nv-recovery-sb-na-wf-5.2.0.zip ) no matter what I do its a no go? Helppppp.
[Shield Tablet General] fpozar:
If you can enter fastboot the device isn't lost. Just follow a guide for flashing stock ROM from fastboot (maybe there are more detailed ones than mine on this topic). After you get on the latest ROM just follow this again but more carefully and feel free to ask if you need more help.
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
Not bricked if you can enter recovery. Recovery is your friend. Try again and make sure you follow the guide to the letter. Its pretty much fool proof, you must have missed a stage.
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Ok, I have tryed several different times using fastboot to flash 5.2 to no avail, each and everytime I try It fails and gives me an error message, gonna try it later this afternoon and post a screen shot of what pops up in recovery, then you can see what's going on...thanks
[Shield Tablet General] Both Barrelz:
Definitely using the correct ROM? There are 2 different nvidia shield ROMs. One for the original and one for the K1. I don't think they are interchangeable. You said you have the K1 version. Have you made sure that you downloaded the correct ROM for it?
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
Never been able to get past the install of this recovery ( nv-recovery-st-wx-na-wf-5.2.0.zip ) I will try to flash this again and post the results here ..
[Shield Tablet General] ilpleasu:
This is what I get

this is my results
