So just dug out my old ShieldTV and updated to the latest 9.1.1 only to regret it right away. Have a ton of spare time lately due to some medical things. Any chance of one for 9.1.1 for the 2015 500gb model? Know it's kinda an oddball system but the ads are just AWFUL even turning them off and AdGuard didn't do much. So I went to look and see if there was root only to see I just updated right past where I needed to be.

However regardless was an interesting read. Thanks for the work already done I know it has helped many. I haven't rooted my phone in years so kinda forgot the old lower firmware is usually easier to exploit.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] Starz04:
it is possible to downgrade back to 8.2.3. In my post above Ive linked a tutorial for 2019 STV Pro, maybe it works in the same way for the 2015 model.

Yeah the ads are super annoying, also the fact that the device is less snappy on 9xx OS compared to a very smooth and snappy 8.2.3 os. I dont even plan to update it any time in the future, since everything I use works perfectly on 8.2.3 already.

Hello, I am having some trouble and was wondering if someone could help.

I can't connect via ADB (see pics) - only if WIFI is enabled on shield and my CPU will ADB connect. But that isn't helpful is it?

I have usb debugging enabled and have allowed the security pc fingerprint confirmation popup on the shield when i plug in the usb cable.

I can also run the bootmod and have my shield boot into the flash screen and see my device connected (see pic)

When I try the flash script it says boot loader locked (see pic).

Probably becuase I never got the ADB connection in the first place

I have the latest nvidia shield drivers and it is registering as a connected device when i plug it into windows...

I have tried different usb ports on my PC...

Any ideas???

Do I understand correctly, that the only problem to enable AI and Dolby Audio features is making `adb root` from the outside possible?

If thats the case, I will take a look into the binary and check if a simple patch could make it work. Is there a separate thread to discuss the progress, or is it this one here?

Which command uninstalls the Nvidia Games ?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] Starz04:
In this tutorial https://florisse.nl/shield-tweaks/ it is described quite well how to uninstall unwanted apps etc.

you just need to figure out the name of the app / package you want to uninstall and then use the command:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nvidia.xxxxxxx

Should you uninstall something you didn't really want to get rid of- its not a problem as you can easily reinstall the app again via adb.

You can try my adb batch code in my previous post, it is quite extensive and removes tons of stuff, even Playstore, Playservices and much more stuff that I personally dont use.

Hi. Thanks for this. I have nvidia shield pro tv 2019 model. Firmware is stock. I'm trying to root but in step 4 selecting choice 1 (enter bootloader menu), shield reboot in bootloader menu. My bootloader is locked. How to move to choice "unlock bootloader"?

I don't have shield controller to follow "press x/y to move" etc..

I installed usb mouse, couldn't move with it". I tried a usb pc keyboard, the same..

(when i am in android tv os both usb mouse and usb keyboard are working, in bootloader menu there aren't..)

How to move to this menu to unlock bootloader?

After booting to bootloader menu, there isn't a connection to the pc.

Thanks,

Edit, after using 3 usb keyboards, i finally found 1 which worked to move in fastboot menu.and unlocked the bootloader. . Let's try the script again to see if it will connect to my pc after booting to fastboot menu this time..

Quick question, would rooting allow me to get vudu android TV app working properly as it currently just shows in playstore as needing to be enabled, but no never works when I select it?

So in theory could I uninstall it completely and just install an ATV version to have it actually work on the shieldtv?

I don't want to go through the hassle of rooting if it's not a definite chance of getting it working.

Thanks for any help

Question, I have a 9.1.1 ota is that the full image, so I can just flash that then do the other stuff like patch boot.img and flash with magisk husky etc or do I need to be on 9.0.0 first?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] sosimple:
Don't you see in 1st post that you can download boot mod for many firmware? There is option, boot mod for 911 so you don't need to go to previous firmware. Click to spoiler guide - spoiler boot mods, and you will see it. You need to unlock bootloader before do this. Look a few post above what i was writing when i did it.

I assume I must be doing something wrong, but I cannot get this to work. I using Windows 11 with shield pro 2019 9.1.1. I can enter fastboot menu, device is listed in fastboot with correct driver in device manager in Windows (even disabled driver signing), menu shows unlocked. Any attempt to flash ANYTHING is met with the failed no link error. When I'm prompted with "is this your device", my device is listed but flash fails anyway. Can't even try recovery due to same error. Tried multiple cables and USB ports with no luck. Worse, it will not allow me to exit the fastboot menu, except to get frozen on the Nvidia logo after reboot (but i can get back to fastboot).

I am stuck on what my next step should be. Any thoughts?
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] DarthDickus:
I came across this thread last night and decided to root my 2019 pro. The process to root it was far easier than I thought. One work around I used with the fastboot Win driver issue was since the machine refused to install the inf files from Nvidia I ended up going into device manager and updated driver manually. I chose the "left me choose" option and selected the pre existing Samsung ADB drivers I had installed last year. I clicked it and after a slight hesitation it worked and my Win box starting talking to the shield. I used the prepatched 9.1.1 img someone had linked to. The shield booted into the OS normally and installed the magisk manager apk and again rebooted. It came up rooted and I was happy. But AI up scaling and Dolby was not. Dolby was greyed out and said bootloader next to it. AI up scaling could be checked but also was nonfunctional and said bootloader. I ended up installing following magisk mods: Magick hide props, safety net fix, audio modification, audio compatibility, built in BusyBox, Hi-Res Audio Enabler, and Dolby Atmos Magic Revision. I also enabled zygisk and set to enforce deny list. In the deny list I checked all of the Nvidia services, and Google Playstore, Google play services, and possibly a couple other Google ones. I rebooted and both worked. The Dolby switch was selectable and it did activate Atmos. I didn't check Vision but dont care about that honestly. Everything is working great. I initially figured that if I couldn't get Dolby back I'd install Viper for the sound but didn't need it and didn't install it. Yes, I still have the orange warning nag screen at the start of the boot process but am confident that can be dealt with also. Someone figured out how to get rid of that in the OnePlus 9 pro section and the rom I'm using (Jaguar) In my phone the dev figured out how to relock the bootloader and retain Magisk root. It's been a long day so I'll look at that tomorrow

Are you certain that AI Upscaling is working correctly.if so Thanks a million !!!
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] sosimple:
Im not sure from what i readed if Ai upscaling worked after all this. Someone else did almost the same and it didn't work.

I also ask to test if Ai do work after this (not just be enabled but if it really works) because all want it. Please do a test in YouTube for example, enabling it and disabling it and post if there is any difference. If it does work. But i believe it won't..

Thanks,
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] Ghisy:
I could be wrong but I think I remember reading that rooting the Shield TV 2019 models disables AI upscaling and Dolby Vision for some reason.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] sosimple:
You can read this in this topic. Because of the unlocked bootloader. But if you lock it again you lose root. That's why we ask if the solution posted above is fixing it.. Most probably it won't i predict..

I've rooted my Nvidia shield 2019 pro, but Ai don't work. I've tried. No go.
[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] Jdorman12:
I posted a fix for the rooted ai upscaling fix like 2 years ago probably.. Haven't messed with mine since it's been rooted when I worked with whoever originally did it. I don't remember the exact build prop but if someone dumps the original build prop and you compare, you can find the one that it is. You can also increase the rendering frame rate on the ai upscaling, and even the virtual resolution. You can also install a Tegra overclock apk and overclock cpu and gpu. Also there is a few build prop edits that will help audio also, I might go through all this again if anyone still uses this thing.

In the gui, it still doesn't show active, but you can see the quality adjust and get better. Not really sure how to test it. Technically I could trace it down, but someone should try it and see if it works because this was on 8.2. If it doesn't work ill find a fix but I want to say its these on 9.0/9.01..

[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] jenneh:
Hi there, I don't know the answer to this just yet, I am just now returning from having to take some time away, but I will have an answer for you after I am able to flash to the latest version and see where we even are at now. I was trying to not comment until the update was complete, but I don't want folks thinking this project is abandoned or I am ignoring you. In theory, since we have rooted bootmods from 9.0, 9.1, and 9.1.1, one should be able to opt to download the next update (if there is one? I will see) from settings without installing it immediately, then it could be extracted from the OTA folder and I can patch and share the mod and incorporate it into the new bootmod update. -edit 9.1.1 is still the "latest" update

I cannot give an ETA but I am working on converting this project into a standalone executable instead of the janky batch scripts, and adding more features than what was previously available. Some items that are being integrated into the program (hopefully) are the ability to fetch the latest magisk release from github, the ability to dl and run twrp (i seen a comment about this), the ability to remove "bloatware" or just unneeded apps / packages , I am also going to test jdorman's buildprop suggestions and see if we can get that incorporated.

For the shield tv stick people I have some knowledge I will write up but it's not exciting, like we can unlock our bootloader, you can dl the firmware off gameworks, but we cannot flash it because no usb and if you try to flash via stock recovery using the sdcard it will complain about the version being too old. Currently have my stick took apart, need to take two metal casings off so I can snap some pictures and maybe we can look and see if there is a usb solder point. This is all going to take me some time, but it is my current focus, so bare with me and I will share everything I know when it's done.

Hi there sorry i should've been more clear i am on 9.1.1 which is im guessing is based on A11.

Ive had issues when in stock bootloader device isnt showing up , it will adb reboot bootloader no problem to the lock/unlock screen but thats as far as i get .

Only error i get is that its not seeing the device after i get to this screen

Steps taken :

1. Downloaded 9.1.1 files

2. Installed ADB and Fastboot

3. adb devices shows device 1325******** connected

3. I cant run both adb over network and adb via USB as they clash so went with USB .

As i said, the script sees the box and reboots for me , but then just hangs on "waiting for device" then errors out with "null".

No worries mate. Ill keep chipping away just now and try another pc too as ive tried the other USB on this one.

Thanks.

Hi sorry i just found this thread.

For any device google certification

Use a file manager such as mixplorer and navigate to :

/data/data/com.android.vending/Shared_Prefs/finsky.xml

Open the file and scan/search for the line :

boolean name=device-google-certified-key"></string>"false"

Change inside the quotes from "false" to "true". Save the file and reboot the device .

When tou next go back to playstore it will then have certification.

Just wanted to say Thanks and Good Luck with you and the other guys' work and development/time spent on the device.

Over the years i have had some fun with many devices including Amazon, Sony, Oppo Samsung etc etc with root and custom scripts/bootanimations, and build.props .

IMO and my experience as of late with the new android versions it just isnt worth the hassle.

Absolutely great to learn and reverse engineer these images and gain knowledge but with this device i'll keep my bootloader locked , custom launcher and use adb to debloat which i think is plenty .

Can I managed to be "fully stock" on a EU version coming from this CN hardware ? Having Android Pay working, safety net etc... ? and OTA updates normally ?

Or is it just simply impossible and i should cancel my order and get an EU version ASAP ?

Thanks

Eversince i bought this phone, i always turn on dolby atmos, especially the video preset. It makes the speaker much louder and fuller when listening to music and videos. But when launching games, the sound noticably weaker and flatter as if Dolby atmos is disabled.

I have tried to toggle Atmos from the QS button but no difference. I tried it on Spotify, the disabled atmos speaker sound is similar to when playing games. Toggling the "enhance audio" option in game turbo doesn't have any effect on sound quality either.

Does this problem always there for everyone or it is just my phone?
