Tested on android 7.1.2
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] KeepingItCuttingEdge:
So I hadn't tried to flash a ROM on my "tube" Shield TV 2019 until the Experience 9 ROMs just leaked. I didn't realize it didn't have a USB port. I have been flashing ROMs on Android phones for over a decade, so I'm good there but what about Fastboot access via network TCP/IP or UDP? I was able to ADB to the Shield with "ADB connect [IP address]" but Fastboot doesn't see the unit at the same IP and I've looked on my router's device list and don't see anything. I have the latest 1.4.3 ADB/Fastboot tools.

So no access to flashing using the SD card slot, ethernet, or network?

THANKS!
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] jenneh:
I'm sorry, this is slightly off topic, but consider it a bump. haha. A quick question. Do you have a link for the experience rom? I would love to look at it, or do you know what OS they are rolling?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] m33ts4k0z:
Hello,

trying to do the same but fastboot mode is as far as I get as well. Any ideas on how to flash the image on the tube?

@jenneh

Here you go . The OS is Android 11
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] m33ts4k0z:
Well I figured it out. First copy the downloaded image to the external sd card of the tube. Then:

When you reboot to fastboot using wifi ADB, then first unlock the bootloader.

Then choose "Boot recovery kernel" from the menu. The power button is located above the HDMI port on the tube.

When the dead android image appears, press the power button for 3 seconds and then release.

You should see the recovery menu. If you still see the dead android, then repeat the process by holding the power button pressed for 3-4-5-6 seconds. It can be tricky.

Once in the menu, choose the sd card.

Choose the file.

The process will start. and it should complete after a couple of minutes.

You are then done.

I did some extra steps:

I performed a factory reset and cleared cache from the recovery menu, although this happens automatically when you unlock the bootloader.

I then got back to the fastboot menu and locked the bootloader again. Otherwise you get a warning every time you boot the device.

Be ware that locking/unlocking the bootloader, erases the data of the user partition and the device needs to be setup as from a factory reset. This is by design.

Here is a link with all the images.

Cheers

First of all, THANK YOU for this share~ ~! secondly, would you happen to have any idea why my usb ports have stopped working all of a sudden. I swear I didn't step on the shield this time. Lol
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] jenneh:

I want to go back from Android 11 to Android 9. It is possible to download a ROM for Shield 2019 Non Pro 8GB ATV 8.2.3? THX
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] tomtom666:
There are links to the recovery firmware 8.2.3 but I can't get past the agree button that shows when klicking on the link..

It could be my old laptop.. but here's the link..

Gameworks Download Center

developer.nvidia.com

Sinse the update most of my aps are gone or not usable..

I can not fint the shield on my network.. and there is no installable apk showing up in any file manager.

I wil do my best to get back to android 9.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] tomtom666:
Tried to go back using the 8.2.3 recovery img.. but no luck.

I get an error saying cant flash over newer firmware.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] nvidialuders:
Ugg... I didn't see this post that you can't downgrade until I tried it myself and also got the error. :(

Anybody have any possible work around ideas?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] tomyiop:
The same here:

The method I used is the one below according to nvidia's instructions:

Hardware Method:

- Disconnect power cable

- Connect power cable to SHIELD and hold down the remote locator button

- Release the keys once you see the fastboot menu on the screen (it's

red in color)

- If the standard boot process starts, disconnect the power cable and

repeat

the process

*******************************************************************************

FASTBOOT MENU NAVIGATION

*****

Once in fastboot mode (it's red in color), navigate the menus using the

remote locator button on the device.

Short press to navigate and long press for ~2s to select.

*******************************************************************************

FLASHING THE DEVICE

*****

To flash the recovery image to your SHIELD from fastboot, download the

image package.

- Download the image package. Copy the same downloaded zip file with

name

'nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-2019_.zip' to a uSD card that is FAT32

formatted

(where corresponds to the image version of the update being

installed).

Insert uSD card into the uSD card slot on the device

- in fastboot mode select Factory Data reset (opp in Recovery menu

scegli wipe data/factory reset)

- Enter recovery kernel by selecting the option "Boot recovery kernel"

from fastboot menu

- Once the device boots into recovery kernel, you will see a "No

command" image on the

screen

- Long press the remote locator button for ~2s and release button.

Recovery menu should show up (it's blue and green).

If not, please try to long press the button again

- On the recovery menu, select the option "apply update from SD card"

(navigate using short

press of remote locator button and long press ~4s to select and

release button)

- From the SD card contents, select the image package

- At anytime if the display goes back to the "No command" picture, press

the button for ~2s and release button

to go back to the previous screen

- Once the image is selected, the update process should start

Unfortunately the process interrupts with "newer build ....error status

7". I deleted the first two rows of UPDATE-SCRIPT, repacked in ZIP and

reflashed but in vain!! the error was:"Signature failure"

I also use SIGNAPK to sign the new ZIP, but in vain....

Any help?

[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] kuki68ster:
Hello, I have a device that at this moment, after a failed update, ended up blocking..Now I turn it on, I feel that the nvidia heats up, but I don't have a signal on the television or anything, I've tried to do a reset but I haven't been successful because I am unable to enter to the fastboot screen... Does anyone who has gone through the same problem have any tips? Any help would be nice...Thanks
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] El_Saam:
This is exactly what's happening to me. For some reason the network stopped working. I tried to see what happens if I factory reset. After the factory reset the device no longer displays anything. It does turn on and I can turn the tv and receiver on and off with the shield remote. I can enter the bootloader though.

Is this a coincidence or did the latest update screw something up?
[General Questions and Answers] zentg:
Sure you can download mp3s from many places, but they are really crap quality with a lot of hiss and don't sound well (yes I am an audiophile)

Obviously I prefer android for 99% of things, but I just really like the ios ring and textones.

I have an iphone but can't figure out anyway to get into the system files and extract the audio files. Surely someone has done it right? Is there a zip file or somethign I can download?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can jailbreak iOS to get the ringtones you want then copy and transfer them but you will have to convert them from M4R format to MP3 so that android can use it.

Or try this software:

Hi all this maybe a silly question but i gotta ask it .......

Is there a way to set the keypad to lock & to unlock using a 2 key sequence like on a normal phone (* then right softkey?) its a pain having to press 4 buttons to unlock the phone every time

Cheers!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I only hae to press two keys :confused: left softkey then "*" ? What are the two other keys you hae to press ?
[HTC Vox] turnerfromdover:
when i set up the device lock it wanted 4 keys so i did 2,5,8,0 id rather set it as * then right softkey if its possible?
[HTC Vox] Pikranus:
Why don't you just press and hold the "End call" button to lock the device? I've got used to it very quickly.

And I think only 2 keys are needed for unlock: left softkey and *...
[HTC Vox] turnerfromdover:
wow cool didn't realise that :)

Thanks mate

still have to press 4 keys for the device unlock though? :(
[HTC Vox] Pikranus:
Hmm, could it be that you've set a password for the device unlock? You can disable it in Start>Settings>Security>Device Lock

Hope that helps
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
This sounds like some third party software. Normal WinMo Standard is left softkey and then *. There are no options to change that. maybe you mean "Device Lock" found in options->security

Go to Settings>>Security>>Device Lock>>

[Fairphone 4] Eznaa:
Here's a quick guide for rooting your Fairphone 4.

DISCLAIMER

I'm not the author of this method, merely sharing the informations that can be found on fairphone community forums.

All credit goes to hirnsushi from fairphone community forum.

I will not be held responsible for any damage caused by this operation, flashing your device always implies a risk of manufacturing your very own plastic brick.

PREREQUISITES

- Unlocked bootloader

- Computer with adb & fastboot

- Magisk app installed on your device

- FP4's official stock boot.img

HOW TO ROOT

1. Copy the boot.img file on your device's internal memory

2. Patch the boot.img file using Magisk -> Installation -> Patch a file

3. Transfer the patched boot.img back to your computer

4. Reboot to fastboot: Power + vol up from off device OR adb reboot bootloader

5. Boot from the patched img by running: fastboot boot patched_boot.img where patched_boot.img is actually replaced with the path and name of your patched file :)

DO NOT FLASH THE PATCHED IMG. BOOT ONLY.

6. Your device will take much much more time to boot than usual, be patient.

7. Once booted, open Magisk, run a direct Install and reboot.

You are now rooted.

This will break your ability to use Google Pay. Though a workaround is described below.

[OPTIONAL]- PASS SAFETYNET AND GPAY CERTIFICATION

1. Download and enable the following Magisk mod:

- Riru module

- Riru’s universal SafetyNet’s fix 2.1.2

- SQLLite for ARM aarch64 devices

- GPay SQLLite Fix 2.5

2. Enable Magisk hide and hide Magisk from the following packages:

- Google Play Store

- Google Pay

- Google Play Services

3. Now the part that is very important to follow otherwise it will not work :

- Put your phone in Airplane mode

- Clear all data from:

Google Play

Google Pay

Google Play Service: remember, clear ALL data, not just cache, even for this one

- Reboot

- Toggle Airplane mode off

You should now have a rooted device that can be used to pay for groceries. How cool is that.

If Pay app states device is not certified, there is high chances you did not follow exactly the described steps.
[Fairphone 4] hans3103:
I really like a rooted phone as always. I will wait till there is a way to reinstall the standard ROM. Then it will be safe for me to try.
[Fairphone 4] MKKLR21:
I'm on the latest update and not able to unlock the bootloader. I enabled OEM unlocking in developer options and rebooted to bootloader. On the first screen it says "Device status: Locked" and doesn't react on any fastboot command. When I enter recovery and start fastboot, each command will fail (command not present in this implementation). Any hints?
[Fairphone 4] MKKLR21:
Finally managed to unlock the bootloader. The trick was to use an USB2.0 port on my PC.
[Fairphone 4] Bobtheagent:
I live in US so don't have one in my hands yet. Has anyone done a .QCN dump of the phone yet? Do you program the phone with Firehose EDL? Are there qualcomm drivers? I have so many questions.
[Fairphone 4] citroniais:
I tried it with the latest boot.img avaliable here ('cause I have the A.094 ROM version on my phone)

Fairphone 4 Kernel Source Code — FAIRPHONE open source documentation

code.fairphone.com

https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.094-boot.img

And that works perfectly, that's my daily driving phone, and no problems ;)

Generally speaking I can only but encourage you to register and browse the fairphone forum as there are much much more resources, guides and activity around the fairphone 4 than on xda.
[Fairphone 4] Thomas.swe:
I'm using latest magisk 24.1 and todays OTA fails. I tried with Zygisk on and off. In the magisk app under install there is a install to new slot thing but I feel like that's supposed to be used if it don't fail. will I brick my phone if i click it?

edit:

found this on fp forum

Fixing OTA after rooting

Because my FP is rooted, I couldn’t install the update right away. Message: Couldn't update, installation problem The problem is that the boot partition gets modified when you root your phone and this prevents the OTA package from installing. It’s described well on Quora. This is how I was...

forum.fairphone.com
[Fairphone 4] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
My Build-Number say I am on:

FP4.FP3R.A.099.20220112

So it seems my Bootloader version should be A.099 but there is no file like this:

https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.099-boot.img

Is it okay to take a older boot img or another?

Latest seems to be

https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.094-boot.img

and before that:

https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.091-boot.img
[Fairphone 4] Thomas.swe:
yes I used 094 to root 099 yesterday, just don't flash the 094 or the modded 094.
[Fairphone 4] Thomas.swe:
I'm using latest magisk and safetynet-fix-v2.2.1, GPay.SQLite.Fix.v2.5, SQLite for ARM aarch64 devices.
[Fairphone 4] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
okay, so you are on a magisk-boot-v-A.094? I thought Magisk, run a direct Install then is only able to patch your current running patched-A.094 boot.

Am I wrong?
[Fairphone 4] Thomas.swe:
I have rooted 099 with latest magisk 24.1 you only boot with the 094 versions to root the 099.
[Fairphone 4] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
Yes that it true, you are have root now.

But I think you are on the bootloader version A.094.
[Fairphone 4] Thomas.swe:
the 099 came from OTA so why whould bootloader be 094?
[Fairphone 4] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
I am just thinking that you are on 094. Perhaps I am wrong.

But in step 5 you boot the patched 094 img and with this 094 boot image you run the direct magisk install on step 7. If I a not wrong magisk used the current running boot-image. So magisk patched your 094.

Perhaps I am wrong, I am not sure.

EDIT:

You are right @Thomas.swe :) Sorry for confusing. 🙈

See here: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp4-root-access-is-possible-maybe-a-bit-risky/76839/144

EDIT2:

@Eznaa does "our device will take much much more time to boot than usual, be patient." mean more than 20 minutes?

EDIT3:

No :D I used the wrong bootloader. Iode OS has its own bootloader-image :D upsi
[Fairphone 4] Dakkaron:
I had root working using this method on A.116-boot.img. I then uninstalled Magisk, did an OTA (to A.128), did "Install Magisk to inactive Slot" (as I successfully did in older OTA updates), but it bootloops. If I `fastboot flash boot A.128-boot.img` it boots normally, but as expected, without root.

I tried an `adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules` to make sure no Magisk modules are causing the bootloop. I am on Magisk 25.1, btw.

Do you have any idea what could cause the Magisk-patched image to bootloop?
[Fairphone 4] citroniais:
Hi,

Did you try to patch A.128 and boot on it ?

fastboot boot [image]

[Fairphone 4] beechwood45:
I am thinking of buying Fairphone 4 and need magisk. Can anyone answer a question about the installation instructions above? Magisk website says to flash the magisk patched boot image but here the instruction is to first boot from the magisk patched image, not flash it, and then once booted run a direct install from the magisk app. What is the reason for this extra step?
[Fairphone 4] h8Aramex:
Just a heads up. Root/Unlock voids FairPhone warranty unfortunately. Only reason I haven't bought this phone.
[Fairphone 4] rokejulianlockhart:
@citroniais, instead of using the

am I able to use the zipped boot.img file extracted from "https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405858261777-FP4-Install-Fairphone-OS-offline#:~:text=to your computer:-,-fairphone os for fp4 (android 11)-,-File name: FP4" rather than the separately provided images labelled "A.XXX-boot.img"?

[Fairphone 4] ephemunch:
Is rooting now becoming more and more complicated/ risky, even with Fairphone?
[Fairphone 4] Sony make.believe:
When you get right down to it, Magisk's methods are more risky before. Now, the installation takes into account exactly your boot.img of your current ROM. It looks "complicated", but if you have done it 2-3 times, it's a piece of cake.
[Fairphone 4] ephemunch:
There is now an official version of LineageOS available for Fairphone 4.

Is there anything to keep in mind with the rooting instructions if you plan to flash the official build of LineageOS?
[Fairphone 4] Sony make.believe:
Rooting your phone with magisk is same procedure, on every ROM
[Fairphone 4] wyce:
Hey there, I’m trying to reinstall magisk after doing the latest OTA to Android 12.

Since I wanted to factory reset anyways I did that before patching, using the latest flash_fp4_factory.bat. Now when I try to use magisk to patch the boot image I found in the folder for the factory reset and run that boot that image through bootloader, I get stuck at the FairPhone4 Boot screen (not the blue circles, the one before that)
[Fairphone 4] srdempster:
That's probably down to the fact that the factory restore image is based on Android 11 and not 12. They've probably made subtle changes to the boot.img
[Fairphone 4] QuantumXDA:
I just successfully rooted a new FP4 using this guide. It worked but required a few minor adjustments for 2023.

Before rooting I updated to Android 12 using the stock OTA update

As @rokejulianlockhart mentioned, the boot.img linked in the post is outdated. I downloaded FP4-SP29-factory.zip from fairphone, which contains the stock boot.img.

The official installation instructions are also useful for unlocking the bootloader

Riru is no longer developed. It has been replaced by Zygisk, a feature of Magisk that can be enabled in the Magisk settings.

Magisk modules are now installed from github. There is no module repository in Magisk

I used the 'Universal SafetyNet fix' from Displax/safetynet-fix. This incorporates some pull requests that have not yet been accepted by the upstream kdrag0n/safetynet-fix branch linked in the post. According to the YASNAC app this should be enough to install banking apps (I haven't tried gpay yet).

i am not able to find a consolidated uptodate location of summarized root recovery options, their risks, expected failures, and benefits

besides the recovery options usuch as twrp, liniage recovery /e recovery and what ever els is available,

also is needed the root manager such as magisk, or alternatives , and their opts,rsks,ex falz, & beniz

a third and fairly neglected topic is the root tools such as lucky patcher. as far as i know that is the only tool that actually works at all , letalone does everything i can dream of

as always pleas consider my words as the words of an ignorant novice looking for leadership. do not take my words as advice.

at this moment i am most pressed for a recovery that is stable/safe

and a root manager that is also stable safe

pleas advise,

may blessings be with those of good intent
