[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] Rey3000:
No problem. I wish there'd be more exchange here. But mostly it's just silence.

Regarding stability: unfortunately not very much. Netflix pretty much f*cks up my system. I used the YouTube app without any issues, but when I go to Netflix - sometimes - though, more often than not, Shield freezes at first, then the picture turns pitch black. I basically have to reboot then.

I haven't tested thoroughly with other apps, but whereas YouTube had no issues, the opposite is true for the Netflix app. Do you have a Netflix account? Is it working smoothly for you?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
Yes, I have Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Kodi and YouTube running without any issues. It has been stable from the beginning after I turned off Dolby Processing. I'm running the latest patches and all. The next few days I'm not at home so won't be able to responsed.

Are you running the stock image with root? Or are you using the dev root images? I'm using the stock images.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] Rey3000:
Encouraging that all is working nicely on your part! :)

Hmm, not sure. I followed your how-to. Used ALL - expect one - file from: nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-pro-2019-8.1.0.zip. I only used vbmeta_skipped.img from nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-pro-2019-8.1.0-dev-rooted.zip

Which one am I using? It's more like a mix, isn't it? Or did I skip something?

i miss my old shield tv :(
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
I have rechecked the procedure and with the files you mentioned. So it's very strange that you have issues with Netflix and other streaming services. I don't have a clear explanation for why you experiencing this... I wish I could help you...
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
It maybe seems like it but it's not, using it for several months now without any issues.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] Rey3000:
No worries. I am happy with it. It's stable if I don't use the Netflix app. Since I use Kodi it's not a big deal right now. Hopefully it will be more stable with future builds.

Really grateful for your how-to.

Thank you
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] sic0048:
I haven't tried to root my shield device because honestly I cannot think of a single reason why I need to. (Maybe Youtube Vanced, but does the non-root version work as well?)

Why are people rooting? What I can do after rooting the Shield that I can't do normally? PS - I'm not new to rooting. I've rooted just about every phone I've owned. I'm just not sure what benefits there are to rooting a Shield.

Thanks!
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
Why do you root your phone?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] sic0048:
Mainly for Viper4Android. That is irrelevant on a Shield. So is the Active Edge mod. I ad block and run Youtube Vance too. Again there is a non-root Vanced version of Youtube (but honestly I don't watch Youtube via my Shield - I'd rather watch it on my tablet) and I've never really missed ad blocking on my Shield because I'm watching videos, not browsing the internet.

So again, why are you rooting your Shield?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
For YouTube vanced, for adaway, for debloating a lot of pointless Nvidia & Google stuff like I normally do on my phone with Google and Samsung stuff, and for advanced network routing. So that I can route the traffic on app basis, so kodi always runs trough several VPN, and Netflix runs a different way. Changing my launcher to match my wishes. Stuff like that ?

Automate `resetprop ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` steps?

[MENTION=534058]powercommy[/MENTION] Have you (or anyone else) tried to automate `resetprop ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` steps on the Shield itself? Like by using Tasker or some other similar tool? These manual steps on every reboot are the only thing I dislike about this rooting process. I'm still waiting for my USB AM - AM connector (for adb and fastboot) to arrive, so can't test it myself yet.

Thanks :)
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
Nope, not me, since the Shield never reboots, only with for example with a power outage. Next to my shield is a MiniPC which is connected with the USB cable, so in case of a reboot(which never happens) I'm able to run the commands very easily.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] Serkenar:
Thank you for a super quick reply! Another possibly silly question :) What if we just leave `ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` as `orange`? I googled up it breaks things like Google Pay, but we don't need it on Android TV anyway. Does it break something of real use?

Thanks again :)
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
I have heard user have problems with NetFlix when state is orange, but I always leave in on orange and never experiencing problems. So just give it a go in orange state, and if you have problems the remind yourself the test in with state green.

Stay safe
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] Serkenar:
Hi all,

I've successfully rooted my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019, many thanks to [MENTION=534058]powercommy[/MENTION] [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] [MENTION=4180946]rootfan[/MENTION]

Some notes I'd like to share. First of all, looks like the official Magisk is compatible with our device starting from version 20.4 (more precisely, PR #2248): I've successfully upgraded it using Magisk Manager with the Direct method. Possibly, we can use it during rooting instead of the modded 20.1 version (haven't tried this myself).

Second, regarding `ro.boot.verifiedbootstate`. Looks like `resetprop` command result does not survive a reboot and `ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` reverts to `green` state, so we always get stuck on android animation, until we reset it manually to `orange`. The solution I'm using is utilizing MagiskHide Props Config tool to set it to `orange` on boot (e.g., look here for how to use it; use "Both" (Both post-fs-data late_start service) boot stage).

That's it for now. Good health and fortune to all :)

UPD: I discovered there're some issues when `ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` is set to `orange`: some Nvidia Shield games (tried Half-Life 2 and Tomb Raider) just hang on start unless `ro.boot.verifiedbootstate` is reset to `green`. As a workaround I use Tasker to execute `resetprop ro.boot.verifiedbootstate green` as root on launcher (default is Android TV Home) activity; it's a bit of a learning curve to configure it (doesn't install via Play Store; need a mouse; have to grant App Usage Data (or similar) permission via adb/terminal), but nothing close to impossible.

Another thing, just like [MENTION=534058]powercommy[/MENTION] noticed in some other post, I had to disable Dolby Sound Processing in audio advanced options for Netflix to work.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] powercommy:
I can confirm that the latest version of magisk can be used when rooting the device. I updated the how to in the second post accordingly. Tested rooting the device with the following version.

Pro image on 2GB model?

Would it be possible to flash the Pro image onto the Shield TV Stick 2019 2gb version? The lack of 64bit is frustrating. Even if it requires me to disassemble the thing and solder on a usb port somewhere, I'll go for it.

NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV 2019 Pro OS 8.1.1 images

Before I went ahead and tried rooting using the 8.11 images to root my 2019 Pro, I wondered if there are any updates to the rooting instructions with 8.11 in mind.

I wait for a answer? Are there only selfish people or what?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] ShadesOfGrey:
Based on my monitoring of this thread, it is not selfishness. Instead, there just isn't much activity on this thread.

There are probably two ways to deal with your issue. The first is more tedious, but more likely to work. The second is a bit of a shortcut. However, it may be the right or only solution. That is, if the option to uninstall the driver is unavailable. I have not tested installing the driver when dealing with the Fastboot device with a blue question mark in a circle (I do not recall ever encountering this on my computer). So, installing the driver, without uninstalling first, is based on educated guesses on how Windows and its devices behave. Your mileage may vary.

I would suggest right clicking on the Fastboot device and uninstall the that driver. If a check box appears to "Delete the driver software for this device.", check it. click Uninstall. Unplug the SHIELD TV and plug it back in. A new device should appear with the yellow triangle with exclamation point icon overlay. Right click the Fastboot device and select "Update driver". Click "Browse my computer for driver software", then click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", then click "Next" ("Show All Devices" should be automatically selected). Now click the the "Have Disk…" button. Navigate to the location of the "android_winusb.inf" file that you uncompressed from the the SHIELD TV drivers archive file (usually …"\SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201801\SHIELD\android_winusb.inf").

If you do not have the option to uninstall the Fastboot device. Try following the directions above from the point of right clicking the Fastboot device and select "Update driver" on. You should end up at the same results, if my assumptions about Windows are correct.

I have make this too but not help. And i think never have used here on Windows 10. The driver dont work with the new Shield.

[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] ShadesOfGrey:
That is unfortunate.

Have you ever attempted to connect some other Android device to your current Windows 10 computer? If so, you may want to uninstall any drivers associated with any other Android devices. The only other thing I can think, and it is a bit of a long shot, is to try a different USB cable. Otherwise, I'll have to think about this a bit more.

I personally, have not had any issues with the current drivers, with any of my SHIELD TV devices (2015, 2017, or 2019 Pro).

I am currently running Window 10 1909 on an ASUS ROG GL752V Notebook.

Have you considered possibly using a Live USB Linux install or a Linux Virtual machine (VirtualBox supports USB pass-through) to test adb/fastboot?

magisk 20.4 from wat i see by default doesnt use magisk hide so bootstate stays orange.. if u set it to hide then it will set it to green on boot..

the prop doesnt remain after a reboot bcuz ro.boot properties are parsed and injected into cmdline by the bootloader when device reboots.. basically it sees bl is unlocked so sets androidboot.verifiedbootstate=orange and passes it to cmdline as ro.boot.verifiedbootstate=orange.. pre 20.4 then tries to hide root by setting it to green and flash locked and other stuff to normal values so anytjing that checks those properties will read it as normal.. i dont really play games so dont have issues as i just leave it as orange.. u can probably make a script and have it with a pause or delay to execute so it loads as orange state then after so many seconds changes prop to green

I have nvidia-shield-2019-pro with nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-8.2.0-dev_rooted tow questions:

1- I have serious issue: Hold A+B on USB-keyboard does not help me to access fastboot menu.

2- as I sad the installed rom is 8.2.0-dev_rooted So how I can access root without TWRP & magisk?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] TesterMonkeys:
The issue is that once you hit the fastboot menu A is the button that says "continue booting", you sort of have to hold both at the same time and as soon as it flickers into the fastboot menu release A immediately so it doesn't keep booting.

I used ADB root then ADB shell with a USB cable plugged into my PC to clear/hide/uninstall apps, didn't have a need for TWRP or Magisk.

I bought shield pro 2019 and at the first start menu screen there is no choice to connect via cable. No any option for a manual ip settings. There is only a wi-fi connection option and also without any manual options for to set own network adresse. He allow just DHCP.

In addition, after first steps with f-cking google account, (no other choose) Shield say that I must install the update and than to reboot.

I don't want to install the last updates. I prefer the old firmware, which is worth it.

Since there is no doubt that it will be almost impossible to make a root with the latest firmware.

What do you recommend? What should I do next?

How to start without google account and without nvidia update steps?

How to use LAN cable and where are manual settings for network? Shield don't see my LAN cabel after first start.

I just rooted my Redmi note 7 using the same method for Redmi note 7. After booting everything went well, i started setting up everything but after I setup screen lock I went on to set a fingerprint as well but the scanner didn't respond so i decided to let it go for the time being. After my device's screen turned off, I tried to unlock it again but the pattern was incorrect even though I'm 100% sure I entered the correct pattern. Instead of factory resetting it I removed the lockscreen.db and other files from root/data/system and there no longer was any lock. So I tried to setup screen lock again and same thing happened, fingerprint didn't respond and the phone didn't recognise my pattern again so I reset it using the same previous method. Then I tried pin password and the same issue, phone keeps saying incorrect. All in short, I'm not able to setup any screen lock, the phone fails to recognise even the correct password and the fingerprint scanner isn't letting me register my fingerprint. However, without any screenlock, when I touch the fingerprint scanner with any of my fingers, the screen turns on so that does mean that the scanner is working but it's not letting me register any fingerprint. help!!
