Main reason is I am trying to prevent myself from buying the new Pro that is 25% more powerful. And I like to occasionally play full 4K BD rips from my server too and so I don't want the server doing the heavy lifting when its a highly shared server. I want my shield directly playing back the files with power to spare. Every little bit helps.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] berpru007:
Hi! I've never rooted my shield 2015 (I did it with several smartphones) and I'm considering this solution. My question is, is there a real improve in emulation with this Kernel? Manly with Dolphin. And my other doubt is, is the normal cooling system enough ? Isn't there any risk of damaging any part of the console ? Thanks a lot for your answers
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
If you have had your shield a while now the fan "could be" clogged up with dust. So at the very least I would pop off the bottom cover (its insanely easy a blind caveman could do it) and blow out the fan. With that said even with the overclock this device has decent chipset cooling. For the emulation question, you would have to try that yourself and compare. I would guess that you would get only 5-10 fps better.

I'm already overclocked, so if you want me to test it for you let me know how to do that please. I have nothing better to do, lol.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] lingarajug:
So far the new kernel and the app work good with few issues, with the ram oc i get artifacts and grey screens frequently while watching 4k content through a 4k projector and the fan settings i can't figure out the values and i have 0c starting with 0 speed and then 40c with 40percent fan speed and when i put my device to sleep the fan keeps running and wont stop and i dont believe cpu is that hot.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] berpru007:
Thanks for your reply. Yes I've already cleaned the fan a few times an I also changed the termal paste a few days ago. If you wanna try emulators hit me up on telegram (Bernardo Prudencio) otherwise I think we will be off topic. I'll send you the latest dolphin mmj version and some roms if needed. Thanks! 12

With a kernel mod we will still get the nvidia updates?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] uronito:
nvidia shield 2015 16gb, kernel dont work

With my nvidia shield 2015 16 gb Shield experience 8.0.1 kernel 1,4 rootfan give me eternal loop on nvidia logo, with magisk r2 rooted kernel work well.

Can you make kernel rootfan 1,4 for nvidia shield 2015 16gb ?

Thanks in advance
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Maybe install 8.0 fresh, update to 8.0.1 and try again? rootfan 1.4 kernel works very good on my 2015 16GB Shield TV, but I installed the stock rom cleanly first even though that was not my intention.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] BXM500:
When trying to install Shield Toos 1.2.1 the Shield reboots instantly.

Also the root method doesn't work on Shield TV 16GB 2015 model running 8.0.1.

Tried the newest Magisk 20.0 also - no luck.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Same her, but if you had read back the last few pages would have seen that it does indeed install onto the 2015 shields. I had to install the stock rom clean, then updated to 8.0.1 and then flash the rootfan kernel. It works perfectly after that. Do not install Magisk 20 until we hear more from [MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION] himself. This kernel has turned my 2015 16GB foster into a monster that even beats the new 2019 Pro. It works...
[Shield Android TV Android Development] BXM500:
That's strange... Because I did a clean install of 8.0,then updated to 8.0.1 then flashed the kernel. All good so far. But then I saw the Magisk wasn't properly installed. Root wasn't actually working. And the Shield Tools app kept crashing the whole sysyem. I tried the whole process twice and no luck.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Kronos 2000:
Is it possible to change the voltage on this soc with a kernel mod ? Because I just need a little more to be stable at full overclock
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I did the same thing exactly. After installing Magisk 20 the Shield Tools 1.2.1 it didnt work, so I decided to downgrade to Magisk 19.4 by flashing the Magisk provided by rootfan and that gave me a permanent Nvidia logo, lol. So I decided to flash the stock rom, update to 8.0.1 then I flashed the kernel 1.4. Then I installed Shield Tools 1.2.1 and left it alone from there. Everything works as intended, except for the RAM overclock. Once I set it to 1866 I can no longer play the 400mbps JellyFish mkv, if I set it back to 1600 it plays fine. My Geekbench today was 1528 single core, which is a bit higher than the new 2019 shield pro..
[Shield Android TV Android Development] troy896:
can anyone help me out here. I flashed the wrong kernel package and now i am in a nvidia logo bootloop. I have the 2017 model with no buttons. I have tried to get into fastboot by pressing a twice with a keyboard, which just sends it to the nvidia logo and loops again. I have also tried the hardware method of having the keyboard plugged in while the shield is unplugged, and holding both a and b while plugging it back in to no avail. I have tried both ports, and i dont have the shield controller unfortunately. I dont know if its my keyboard, but if i could get some help that would be appreciated!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] BXM500:
Alright I'll give it a one more try.

Can you confirm that the root/Magisk actually works?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mLgz0rn:
Yes, else he wouldn't be able to use shield tools.

[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yes the kernel is pre-rooted with magisk so of course it works. But like I said, for what ever reason when I updated magisk to version 20 it broke the shield tools app and I don't know why. Maybe it was a fluke but I'm not willing to try it again, lol. It's rooted and working with the version included in the rootfan kernel 1.4 and that's good enough for me.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] troy896:
unfortunately that method doesnt work when i try it with my keyboard :(
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
That is strange. Every keyboard I have including wireless ones (thankfully) work on my shield. But mine is the 2015 and I prefer using the power button on top, which is flawless to get into bootloader mode. I wonder why all these shields are so dang different from one another?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mLgz0rn:
What kind of keyboard is it?

and are you sure it's working?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] troy896:
its a ducky keyboard, and it works on my pc and it works for when its in fastboot mode. but holding down a and b doesnt boot it into fastboot mode
[Shield Android TV Android Development] el7145:
Just want to say this worked perfectly 1st time on my shield 16gb 2017. I had originally been on the rooted developer image 8.0, but then took the 8.01 hotfix and knowingly lost my root via magisk. Flashing the kernel via the provided twrp restored my magisk root (which was on v19.4)

I used my trusty logitech k400r wireless keyboard for fastboot and navigating twrp.

Thank you very much [MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION] for the time and effort you put into making this kernel and compatible twrp!
[Shield Android TV Android Development] BXM500:
The Shield reboots instantly when I try to install Shield Tools 1.2.1. It wouldn't finish the apk installation.

Got it working finally. Installed Shield Tools apk over adb. Strange...
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Rick1vr6:
Possible Issue

Thank You for your hard work on this kernel. Works great with one little issue.

I have a 2015 Shield 16g. When I try to format my SD Card as device storage the Shield reboots halfway through the formatting and bootloops until I remove the SD Card. If I format it as removable storage there's no issue.

That and like others have mentioned, the ram overclocking is pretty unstable. But every chip handles overclocking differently, so some units might be stable. Maybe add a middle ground setting for those of us that are not so lucky.

Thanks again for the awesome work and extending the life of our old units :good:
[Shield Android TV Android Development] BXM500:
I might have had the same issue. MicroSD formatted as device storage. Got boot loops.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] urkelz:
The cpu overclock resets itself back to 2ghz from 2.2 ghz after coming out of standby. This fixable?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Kronos 2000:
If I overclock the ram the shield reboots in some apps anybody else has this issue?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Good question [MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION] will have to answer that one I think.

The ram is considered the least stable when overclocked and only a few can get a stable overclock. Silicon lottery I'm afraid.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] Kronos 2000:
It will be great if we could increase the ram voltage. Even without the RAM overclock the old shield tv pro beats the new one ?. (Tested in geekbench 4 and 3DMark).
[Shield Android TV Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah that would be great. I've seen signs that my ram is not stable at 1866, however it does not seem to be affected by any of the normal usage scenarios. Its only when I play the 400 mbps JellyFish mkv that I notice an issue. Everything else such as videos and game play seems fine with the overclocks.

EDIT: I have wondered what would happen if you bit by bit copied the current RAM data into a new DDR3 1866 RAM chip, then soldered on that new RAM chip, say a 8GB chip of the same size and pin count, lol. And then see if it boots up or not. Not sure how the partition layout works though.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] DumbKing@letthemeatspam:
Has anyone figured out how to root without a mouse using this method? I only have a bluetooth mouse without a dongle no wired mouse
[Shield Android TV Android Development] rootfan:
[MENTION=500006]SkOrPn[/MENTION], upgrading Magisk should work fine with R1.4. I upgraded directly from Magisk Manager without issue. The problem you had seems to be that Shield Tools was denied root access. If you have any further problems make sure that Shield Tools has been granted root permission in Magisk Manager. [MENTION=4519559]urkelz[/MENTION], I haven't seen the cpu overclock reset when coming out of standby. If it's an issue that others are having I'll look into fixing it.

Magisk Rooted / Overclockable Boot.img

Below you'll find a fastboot flashable magisk rooted overclock kernel. Extract the zip and fastboot boot the image to see if it works. If all goes well, you can flash it. Hopefully this will make the installation process easier for those that have had problems. You cannot update Magisk when using this version though and you may need to install the Magisk Manager app seperately. Also, as I only have the 2015 shield pro, you'll have to let me know if it works on the other models. [MENTION=9688438]DumbKing@letthemeatspam[/MENTION], go ahead and give this a try. You don't need a mouse for it.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] DumbKing@letthemeatspam:
You rock thanks so much, I have 2017 Shield 16GB but I will try this

Just to be clear I'll follow these steps:https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/gen...experience-t3882254/post80198546#post80198546

but just replace twrp-3.3.1-0-shieldtv-pie.img with the boot.img you gave for me to download?

Do I still need magisk_shieldtv_pie_r2.zip?

Also do you know why the latest version of Magisk 20.1 still doesn't root the Shield correctly? I'm stuck on the Nvidia logo
[Shield Android TV Android Development] rootfan:
[MENTION=9688438]DumbKing@letthemeatspam[/MENTION] that's right. Run fastboot boot like in the instructions you quoted and, if everything works right, your shield will boot up normally and you should have root. If that all works fine then reboot back into fastboot and run "fastboot flash boot ShieldOC_Test.img" and "fastboot reboot" to make the installation permanent. You do not need magisk_shieldtv_pie_r2.zip but you can install the latest Shield Tools app if you want to overclock. As to why the latest stock Magisk doesn't work on Shield TVs, I really don't know. It was supposed to be fixed in Magisk 19.4 and I thought it worked on 2017 shields but I've never seen it work correctly on my 2015 model.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] mLgz0rn:
[MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION] I also got issues with overclock settings resetting, mostly cpu but it also seems to happen with gpu.

Maybe it's a 2017 issue only? Don't know what device [MENTION=4519559]urkelz[/MENTION] have though.
[Shield Android TV Android Development] DumbKing@letthemeatspam:
Hey, I tried

fastboot boot ShieldOC_Test.img

and the shield rebooted but was stuck on the Nvidia logo for 1 min and then rebooted to the default boot image. :(

Do I need to wipe or anything?
[Shield Android TV Android Development] dalogan72:

[MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION], thanks for your work so much, the old shield goes as fast as the new. using 1.4. Amazing.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
Pixel 2 XL was running great on Bootleggers ROM. OK Google worked and Now Playing as worked, which I think is somehow linked to OK Google.

Upgraded Bootleggers to latest version and all of a sudden OK Google just won't work and so did Now Playing.

Tried numerous things from clearing Google application data to uninstalling and reinstalling it from play store, moving it to system and whatnot but in no avail.

Installed Colt OS and its not working as well.

I wonder if there's any way to sort this out or anyone has managed to get this working once it stopped.

Everything else in assistant seems to work as expected.

Update:

Restored to stock taimen-pq2a.190305.002 and everything is working well viz. OK Google as well as Now Playing.

I plan on let the system get security update then will try Bootleggers again on top of this and see what happens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
So this is what is happening for all the ROMs except stock.

- Access with Voice Match gets configured during setup but is not enabled

- Trying to enable it brings the Assistant setup screen, and it sometimes takes previous saved voice data but doesn't switched Voice Match on.

- Trying above step repeatedly brings the Teach screen, and a toast notification saying "There's something wrong with Microphone, please try again" and as it can be inferred, the screen doesn't proceeds as phone is unable to hear OK Google.

Phone is on Havoc ROM now, but the problem is still the same. I tried different security patches and old version, but no avail. OK Google and Now Playing is only working on Stock for now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slothdabski:
Have you flashed latest vendor image?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
Thanks for the revert. Yes, on June 2019.

I do not get any message that there's a vendor mismatch. I tried old vendor with new ROM to isolate this issue, but that didn't help as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slothdabski:
And Everytime you try a different rom you've clean flashed it?

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Also I see your setting look different than why I see. Do you access them by going to

Settings> apps and notifications>advanced>default apps>assistant and voice

Then hit the gear on the right and then voice match. Do any of the options in there function for you?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
Yes, Clean Flashed always. (Wipe Data + Cache not System)

Currently I'm running Havoc which I flashed on Stock.

The access path you outlined does look different but the gear takes me to the same setup screen which shows your assistant can already recognize your voice.

I could access it through assistant. (Open Assistant -> Compass -> 3 dot -> Settings -> Phone)

Your access path took me to below screen:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
So I posted screen captures of my install for reference. I just tested OK Goole on WiFi and LTE and all is working fine. Maybe you have an app that is interfering? Anyway just wanted to let folks know it's not a global issue with the ROM. This was a clean install also for what that's worth.

Oh and I know my phone number is in there. Lol I grabbed the original instead of the edited one. Blame it on nightshift.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
I'm not always sure if it's a ROM or google problem. Today I couldn't get "OK Google" or now playing to work on the latest Crdroid. Same goes for RR.(too much lineage DNA?) I just flashed DU and it works perfectly. Bootleggers works fine as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
[MENTION=7897193]Edmontonchef[/MENTION]

Thanks for the message. I'll do stock -> wipe -> bootleggers today and see what the outcome is.

[MENTION=4565594]CyberpodS2[/MENTION]

I'm sure its not a ROM issue, but what's intriguing is why OK Google works on Stock but fails on all custom ROMs at least as of now for me since past month.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Disillusionedsal:
Update:

I was highly occupied last week and was traveling so didn't get a chance to work on phone.

But to my surprise last Saturday I was at a bar and I saw Now Playing displaying the name of the song. That night I tried OK Google and as expected even that worked.

Now I didn't do anything other than some applications might have got updated automatically previous night. It could possibly be another application interfering or Google update (if there was one) fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] fajrero:
I'm contemplating buying an S9 or S9+ from Samsung's website, because they offer financing. (IOW, I can pay it off over time, instead of all at once.) Unfortunately, their site isn't very helpful as far as details, though, so I couldn't find any model numbers.

My question is: If I buy an unlocked S9 or S9+ from Samsung's website, is it safe to assume that it has an Exynos processor and is rootable? This is what I've heard, but I was unable to verify it, due to the lack of model numbers.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] conbak49:
All,

I am running rooted stock 20s debloated on my H932 which is activated on Cricket. In the last couple days my Settings app keeps force closing and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. This started after I plugged in ear buds and attempted to activate Quad DAC. The phone froze and I had to restart it. Settings will now force close no matter what part of Settings I'm in. Typically I can go in change a setting, but within a few seconds (sometimes before I can make a change and sometimes after) Settings force closes.

Based on some posts I've read in various places I've done the following:

*cleared Settings data (not reset permissions)

*cleared dalvik & cache in TWRP

*deactivated & deleted non-OEM G8 dark theme and rebooted

*deleted apps installed around the time this started happening and rebooted

*wiped dalvik & cache and dirty reflashed stock 20s debloated.

None of this has solved the problem. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and found a solution or has a clue that about what might be causing it. I haven't touched any apps updated by Playstore, but am wondering if it's rolled out an update that might cause this.

Feedback welcomed.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] conbak49:
UPDATE:

I've not been able to figure this out. Starting from scratch installing apps one by one and could find no direct correlation. It doesn't begin happening after a specific app, but must be related to some combination of apps at work. I noticed one time it happened right after adding a Google account which I quickly deleted. That helped for about 30 min and then it was back.

The only thing that seems to be consistent in letting me know the problem is about to start is that in settings when I click on Apps & Notifications, it tells me I have 0 apps installed. When I click on Apps it shows all my apps (about 90). As soon as I exit the list and sometimes before Settings starts force closing.

I departed stock for Havoc for a bit and then came back to stock and the problem came back. The good news is I've now moved on to COSP which seems super solid and smooth. I may come back to stock when stock Pie comes out for the H932, but that's only if COSP develops issues.

I added this update in case anyone else stumbles across this thread with a similar issue. I haven't found an answer.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] oscarillo:
I had a similar problem but it was when I was trying to use any option from within setting and it was caused by the google camera app, probably because I had 3 different versions on my phone lol!

I was using the LG camera app & one of the modded Gcams with night sight when I was on stock. If I go back to stock I'll have to check and see if that was the problem.
