[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shieldfan:
I need you help guys..

My Shield TV Pro 2015 500GB Seagate HDD unrooted won't boot any official OS version anymore :(

I can flash all official firmwares but it won't go further than the Nvidia Shield logo..

What happend:

I updated my Shield TV Pro 500GB to latest version v9.0.2 with android 11 and that ruined my Shield TV > Apps restarting, System very slow responding and rebooting, Apps like Hyperspin no longer working... etc. etc.

So I wanted to rollback to version 8.2.3 which was perfect for me and everything works smoothly. I downloaded official Nvidia v8.2.3 firmware (not the developer one) & adb/fastboot tools/drivers for Windows 10.

Everything was going well USB debugging was on, Fastboot menu was loaded so I started to unlock the bootloader (this erases all data on HDD).

I started flashing v8.2.3 firmware until I saw the last file vendor vendor.img was not 100% Okay and I accidently rebooted the Shield.. and guess what? Only a black screen and nothing else so I did the steps below in Linux to fix my 500GB HDD so I can see the Nvidia Shield logo and have my fastboot menu back again and this worked, I noticed that I have a very basic fastboot menu, Unlock&Lock bootloader and factory data reset is not showing up.

I did all the steps below:

* Download the following Shield Pro 2015 image to the HDD: Shield Pro 205/2017 HDD image. Place the .bin images in the folder where DD utility for Windows (read bellow) is extracted.

* First get the letter (on Linux - in my case it was B

5.2. Use the following DD command to transfer the image: (the transfer of the firstpart.bin can take 5-15 min.)

On Linux:

dd if=firstpart.bin of=/dev/sdb

dd if=lastpart.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=976773158

* Assemble the Shield back and boot it. It will be un-bricked but most probably not booting normally, in such case proceed further with p. 7. and 8.

7. Fastboot reboot the hardware way:

- Disconnect power cable

- Connect Shield to a computer using an USB cable connected to the micro USB port of the Shield.

- Connect power cable to SHIELD

- As soon as the green LED turns on -BUT NOT BEFORE- hold down the power button

fastboot menu shows up.

8. Fastboot flash using the usual procedure the firmware you were on before bricking it. Take the firmware from here. In my case this was 9.0.2. If you were rooted use the "Developer Only" image instead of the regular.

fastboot flash staging blob

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot reboot

Give the first boot 15 minutes and then manually reboot if needed and again wait longer than usually. It should now work.

Except in my case it won't go past the Nvidia Shield Logo, It won't boot any official OS that I have tried v8.2.3/v7.1.0/v6.1.0/8.22/9.0.0 while I can succesfully flash all images with all 100% okay none of them will boot.

What more can I do? please help me
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usamartinez:
I followed the instructions and the first part took 2 days the second part 3 minutes, I used Ubuntu with a seagate 500 HDD.

Is there a way to know if the flashing was successful?

With the cable being so delicate I would like to know if it worked before trying.

Thank you

Mario

My Shield TV Pro HDD died (making noise when I power on). So if I install a new HDD now, what I am supposed to do? Can I flash a new OS on a new HDD/SSD?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopakuxi:
Somewhere in the Nvidia Shield forums, someone uploaded the procedure and files necessary to use a SSD. There's also a backup image of a hard drive uploaded somewhere. Either method could get your shield up and running again. If you still need this and can't find the files, I can reupload them (not sure I have the backup anymore but I kept the SSD upgrade files). Be aware that your Netflix ESN will be wiped.

_________________________________________________

I've read a few articles on how android 11 has native screen recording. It's a new feature for me, and I'd like to play with it. I have a stock Pixel 3a with Android 11.

I swipe down twice on my quick settings, and swipe through the additional screens. I don't see the screen record icon. I tap the pencil icon at the bottom left to edit and see all of the quick settings, and I still do not see the screen record icon.

I decided to swipe up from the bottom to see if it is with the screen shot tool, and it is not there either.

Will the Pixel 3a not have screen recording?

I am planning to buy a Redmi Note 9 Pro Max soon. have serious second thoughts after issues reported by multiple users with no acknowledgement from Xiomi or fixes in sight even in V11.0.5.0

WIFI disconnect on screen off

widevine L1->L3 downgrade

would like to know whether this is blown out of proportion.

Is there anybody currently planning to work on TWRP for this device?

Just heard from [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] (Tab S6 TWRP) that he's not going to get a Tab S7. :(

Hopefully someone will step up and get it together.

I'm willing to do any testing, support and donations necessary get this off the ground.

EDIT:

Just downloaded a test version from telegram. The author told me he hoped to have an XDA thread up by tonight. 10-16

Sadly, we'll have to wait a little. In US people will start getting it sometime during November. From what it seems to me, we'll have to wait at least from 3 month up to good half of year after release, till first versions of TWRP and Lineage for S7/S7+ will appear.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Babaloo:
Hi.

I was reading this forum for a few days ago. I used to have a Trinity but now I'm waiting for a new device... a Touch Cruise (Polaris).

Reading about ROM's, RADIO, etc, I found a very interesting link in the Kaiser forum, with a list of original dumped ROM's, in some languages and think it will be great if here, we can have a data base of original ROM's and RADIO versions, to help anybody who need to get the original ROM or RADIO for the device.

I am planning to dump mine when I get my Polaris, but still a little confuse about the whole process. May be some of you with more experience cooking ROM's, cloud help me or other owners to dump and post it for help.

I think it will be great to have it, like the Trinity forum.... What do you think?

Thanks ;)

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Babaloo:
Thanks Daze81.

I don't know why I get to this when I used the "search".

But what I mean is dumped the original Rom's that come with our Polaris. For example, mine comes from Vodafone Portugal, and I like to dump it as it comes, and if I need to put the device back to original for warranty purposes. In the links you point, some are original, but most of them are cooked ROMs, like Christonge portuguese ROM, the only one that appears in PT.

But anyway, sorry to all for open a new thread to something that already exist...

if the Moderator wants to erase this, go ahead... and sorry :D

Hi,

My question is as the subject? Is there any good guides for making a rog phone version 1 with android 9 to be a classified as a secured phone.

Mostly functions that is not necessery will be removed on the phone. Is there any roms you can get tips on? This is testing so, is there any rom that is compatible to Asus rog phone version 1?

Newest stock rom is installed and boot loader is open. Im not the best person at phones and that but can get a given hand when its needed. But im asking you fellows first to choose a custom rom or OS.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] CJH1594:
My Pixel 3 xl sensors(as I know gravity sensor, squeeze sensor) doesn't work properly.

I had tried some methods for fix in XDA. (https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/android-10-sensors-bug-t3964904)

But all methods don't work. In the method 5, the tar file attached in xda doesn't work gravity sensor and squeeze sensor.

So I'm trying to completely re-install the hardware driver including the sensor driver. (https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#crosshatchqq3a.200705.002)

But I can't find any way to install this tgz file.

Anyone can give me another sensor.tar file? Or, how can I install the hardware driver for Pixel 3 XL?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
I ķnow that sometime last year around September there was a problem with sensors. I had it. It had to do with installing TWRP. I just can't remember how I ended up resetting it. There was a process to follow that fixed it, it's just been too long and I can't recall what it was. Search the forums for about a year ago. The method was there. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] nikhilnangia:
I'm the OP of the the thread that faced this issue last year. The issue you're describing seems different. For us, all sensors stopped working due to TWRP corrupting the /persist partition which contains sensor calibration files.

If specific sensors fail for you, it sounds like a hardware issue rather than software. Try contacting Google for an RMA.

I tried with this method, till google login. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw&list=LLPyjQPeWfHb3jarH20qZAnQ&index=1

When Google login i didn't proceed to install last 2 files which are Mod1and Mod2 for play services. because i kept receiving play services notifications errors so i install the 3rd file again. And play services notifications disappear forever. Only problem that google contacts not syncing so to fix this that I upgrade the play services using Play service Fix2020 app from link https://apkpure.com/fix-play-services-2020-update/com.rs.fix_and_update_play_services

That's it.

I found some tools in a part of french rom download in this forum.

You can test diamond nav pad, gsensor, position sensor, light sensor etc

I search in the forum but nobody talk about it.

do you know this tools.

exemple:with testHTCSensorDemoAP.exe

you can view position of the diamond, ambient value , brightness level.

Thanx ... was fun playing around with :)

Try the 'NavDbgTool.exe' ..... I didn't know that the entire bottom plate was touch!

And that there was Up, Down, Left, Right hardware buttons!

Cool!

Thanx for sharing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] WiZARD7:
and it is not only touch sensitiv. it is capacitive (so it senses only your fingers, not the stylus, and you don't need to press, only touch like iphone), and it senses multitouch (you can use 2 fingers... like iphone)

FmsApp is the FM Radio tool, it shows also RDS. I have only one question. if there is a RDS capable FM tuner, why isn't TMC?

The sensor tool is quite impressive, so much possibilities are open with that ! The fact that the bottom pannel is a multitouch sensor is just wonderful.

For the compass, I'd say those are generic debug tools for all HTC devices... So there might be a compass on the diamond, but I really think it's for another hardware... The Dream perhaps ?

DevHealth.exe

Hi,

I've done some investigation into DevHealth.exe. However it seems that the application isn't running (after the startup I get only "device-thinking" (rolling 4-colour circle) animation), I went to the Task Manager and even after pushing "x" mark during the startup the app uses about 86-87% of the CPU. After some time (3-5min?) it just went off by itself and dissapeared from the Task Manager list?? It left no additional files - maybe it just does some benchmark of the system??

Brightness level value doesn't appeer to change on my device, it's always 2

But it seems that you can modify your sensors data with it also:

G-posture angle and G-Senstivity.

At least we now have some form of calibrating.
