Most of the information in this post is covered in various threads but I was recently looking for various options for playing video on my XOOM and found it frustrating having to look all over the place. I'd like to try and make this a comprehensive guide to playing video on the XOOM, including streaming over wifi, playing directly from the device etc.
Before you read on...
This isn't always a necessary step, but whenever you plan to interact with your device via USB you should ensure you have the latest version of the USB drivers from Motorola. In my case I was able to access the XOOM and move files to it without any specific drivers, but it's a good idea to keep them up-to-date to avoid potential frustration. Of course if you need to use ADB, you will absolutely need the latest drivers or you'll have no luck at all.
Playing directly from the XOOM
This is obviously the simplest solution, copying the video files onto your XOOM and playing them directly. This won't be the most appropriate solution for those of you with extensive digital media libraries, but we'll cover solutions for that later.
Plug your XOOM into your PC using a micro-USB to USB cable, one of which is typically provided in the box. You'll see your device pop up under "Computer" (Windows 7 & Vista) or "My Computer" (Windows XP).
Double click the device and you'll see that you're able to directly access the device's internal storage.
Double click that and you'll now be looking at all the folders and files on your device
You can now copy files to the device as though it was any other folder on your computer. Feel free to create a folder (I use one called "Files from Computer") if you'd like to keep your copied files separate from the system created stuff.
Choose your player! With all the files copied over to the XOOM, you're ready to play them but you'll first need a decent player capable of playing a range of formats. A couple of my favourites are:
vPlayer
Rockplayer
If there are others that should be added to this list, let me know.
You're all done - either of the above players should be able to play most video files, though I can't say I've really pushed them as most of my files are just XviD avi's. In my experience I've found vPlayer to be slightly better than Rockplayer especially when it comes to seeking, but Rockplayer's free version is an ad-supported full version and vPlayer's is just a temporary trial so it comes down to preference and willingness to pay for a little extra functionality.
Streaming over Wi-fi
This is going to be the preferred solution for many people, since it doesn't involve any copying/moving of files and will allow you to access that media library that you've spent so much time meticulously organising. There's a few different approaches here, I'll cover the simplest approach first.
Streaming from TVersity
If you already have TVersity set up, then you won't need to do much at all and you can skip straight to step 3. Otherwise, you can follow these directions to get it up and running.
Head to TVersity.com and grab the latest version of TVersity. I won't go through the setup and so forth as it's all pretty straightforward and is covered well in TVersity's own documentation.
Once you have TVersity set up, add your video directories to the library and (optional, but preferable) give your computer a static IP address on the network.
Open up your browser on the XOOM and navigate to "YOUR-IP-ADDRESS:41952".
You should see a TVersity page load up with various navigation options. From here it's pretty obvious how to drill down through your folders and locate any file you'd like to play. When you click a file to play it, you will be able to choose which media player you'd like to handle the file in. I've found vPlayer is capable of seeking and will play it quite nicely, but Rockplayer works well also, just without the ability to seek.
Mounting a Network Share
This is more complicated for the novice user (me, for example) but it works well enough and the end result is a little more user friendly once you get there. The major drawback with this one is you must root your device for this method. If you don't want to root your device, you'll need to use one of the other methods discussed in this post. This method allows you to mount a folder that you've shared over the network so that it can be accessed on the tablet as though it's actually a part of the tablet's file structure. This means that almost all video players should simply play the files without too much trouble (at least, theoretically; I can confirm vPlayer and Rockplayer as working with this method).
There are two apps capable of mounting shares, but before we get into that we'll need to ensure you have a CIFS module installed. If you're like me, you're probably wondering wtf a CIFS module is. When you root your device (I used the "one click" process described in this thread) you'll need to find a "cifs.ko" file that matches the particular kernal you've installed. If you use the aforementioned method, you'll find a cifs.ko file you can use inside the zip file (inside the "timat" folder).
Once you have the module use Root Explorer to copy it (or use adb to push it) to this location: /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko and then reboot your XOOM. If you have adb installed on your computer, you can use these steps to verify that it's loaded:
Code:
adb shell
lsmod
You'll be wanting to see the CIFS module in the list as a loaded module. If it's not loaded try typing:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
If you get an error like I did saying "exec format error" it means you've got the wrong cifs.ko for your kernal, so you'll need to poke around some more and locate the right one.
Congratulations, if you've made it this far you've completed the hardest part - the rest is easy.
Make sure you have an actual folder shared to "Everyone" on your network. Optionally, but preferably, give your computer a static IP address. If you don't do this you'll need to change your settings every time your computer gets a new IP.
Install "Mount Manager" or "CIFS Manager" from the android market. I'll give instructions for CIFS Manager but Mount Manager is just as good and works just fine if you'd rather use that.
Open CIFS Manager. You'll need to do this from the "My Apps" section of the market because for some reason it won't start from a shortcut or from the apptray - annoying!
Open the app-menu and select "Add New Share..."
Your share path should be: "IP-ADDRESS/FOLDER-NAME"
Your mount point will be the location you'd like to mount the share to on your internal memory. By default it likes to mount in "/mnt/cifs/FOLDER-NAME", but this is really up to you. Pick whatever you like here and then go to the next field.
Username/password will be a valid account you can use on the computer hosting the share. I just used my regular Windows 7 account here.
Click "Save Share".
Long-press the new share you've created and then select the option "Mount" when it comes up.
If all is well the icon on the right will turn green and you can now access your share by browsing to your mount point in your favourite video player.

Conclusion
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I had a lot of trouble filtering through all the different posts on this topic and it took a lot of time for me to eventually find and experiment with each of these different options. Hopefully I've saved you all some time and helped out with some of the sticking points you might encounter. If anyone has anything they think I should add, just let me know.
I do plan on adding a section for streaming over 3G, but since I haven't tried it myself (I have a wifi-only XOOM) I can't really contribute to that side of things yet.
If you catch any typos or errors in the above text, please let me know asap and I'll fix them right up. This is my first thread here, and I haven't even made 8 posts yet so I couldn't include external URLs, I'll go through and edit some useful links in as soon as I'm able.
I'm trying to get DSLR Controller app to work with my rooted Nook Color.
I've been to the DSLR support thread and after a few chats it would appear that USB Host Mode is not working or at least not properly on my NC.
DSLR Cont requires CM7 & Nook Tweaks to enable USB Host Mode and I thought I'd done everything right - thoroughly read up before modding the NC and all seemed to go well and works just fine except for Host Mode.
One thing is that most of the modding threads talk about modding when the NC is running pre 1.4.0 firmware. I found one for mine which is running 1.4.2 but apart from that and the latest stable mod being CM7.1 encore I can't see any other differences.
Plugging a USB Mouse in doesn't work. The only powered USB Drive I have is a USB3 2Tb unit that it doesn't see and doesn't charge the NC when VBus is ticked on.
I'm out of clues, a search here doesn't reveal any answers to me. Is there something obvious I'm missing or is it as simple as the fact my NC was on 1.4.2 or ...?

I'm confused. You said you read where host mode requires CM7 and Nook Tweaks. Yet you seem to be trying to make it work on stock 1.4.2. Or do you mean you put CM7 on your device, upgrading from 1.4.2? If so, that should have made no difference. CM7 should have installed properly using the old guides. Other than that, I don't know much about host mode so can't help.

I'm very good at doing that.
To clarify though I'm saying I've modded from 1.4.2 to CM7.

Right I get a couple of screens of response.
In the middle of the 2nd screen it says
<6> usb 1-1: Product: Canon Digital Camera
so I'm guessing it's found the camera on the port??
Bad form replying to myself - however I decided to try the app again and it has magically sprung in to life and found my camera.
So thank you. And if I may, what did busybox dmesg do to cause it to start working and will I need to re-run that each time I power cycle?

DSLR Controller with CM10
This thread maybe a bit stale but I haven't been able to get DSLR Controller to work with the latest nightly of CM10 for the Nook Color.
Can anyone verify that this is indeed possible yet? Has USB Host mode been activated yet for CM10?
Thanks.
Donbga
I'm having a similar problem and the gremlins remain (always better to post in an existing thread.. right?).
Fresh install of CM 7.2 on Nook color. Nook tweaks, USB host controller, remote release by Chainfire. Camera is Canon 5Dii.
I tried a USB mouse and can see that in the busybox output. The USB mouse works fine. When I disconnect the mouse and attach the camera, I get nothing in busybox, well, I don't see any reference to a canon. I've enabled USB host in Nook tweaks, wake up camera, connect the USB, but nothing. If you'd like to see my busybox output, is there a way to download to log file to upload here (or copy/paste the output)?
I've seen mention of "memory limit mod" but have not been able to find what that is in reference to, so I've not changed any memory limits.
Any help would be great, would love to get this working. I teach photography, and a bigger screen in the field would be really useful.
Found out how to mod the memory for Android 2.3 (not required on other Android versions) so here's the instructions if others google through.
Download "Root Browser Lite" (free)
navigate to root folder (highest level up the tree)
open the /system folder
long press on file "build.prop"
select "Permissions"
under the "write" column, check the box "others"
hit back to return to the system folder file list.
tap the file build.prop and open with a file editor.
find dalvik.vm.heapsize
change the value to your desired value. dslrcontroller.com FAQs recommends 128mb or 196mb
save the file
reboot
I see the memory value has changed when I try to launch remote release, however it still doesn't work for me.
still nothing in busybox dmesg that I can see (output attached)
Ultimate Amiga Emulator on OUYA (Sideloaded) – Uae4all2-SDL v2.3.0.8
The link below is a pre-configured workbench image with WHD Folder structure for putting your (WHDLoad) games in to.
Just extract the archive to your USB drive that you attach to your OUYA.
Systemlite WB with iGame (Including Game Art) - Download Here (42.5mb)
WHDLOAD compatible game files are easy to locate on the net. Just put them in the directory structure I provided. They should be unzipped and contain an .info file and a folder.
ie. Info file for Sensi would go in WHDLoad\S\ and the game folder goes in the same directory WHDLoad\S\
Or you can just load floppy images.
Here is my guide to installing IMHO the best Amiga emulator available and how to get it working flawlessly on OUYA.
You can use it to load .adf disk images or mount .hdf games / files and folders.
Ok, once you side load the app you will need to configure it.
Any option I don’t tell you to change should be left as is! Select options by pressing ‘O’ on the OUYA controller.
When you first load it, it will give you a menu to download files.
Both ‘data files’ and ‘blankdisks files’ should be ticked by default.
Select ‘Show more options’
Enter menu ‘On-screen keyboard’ select ‘On-screen keyboard theme’ and change to ‘Simple Theme by Beholder’
Select ‘ Size of button images’ and change to ‘tiny’
Select ‘On-screen keyboard transparency’ and change to ‘invisible’
You can select ‘Customize on-screen keyboard layout’ and relocate the onscreen buttons if you wish. As invisible means you can still see them faintly, I locate the d-pad on the bottom left corner and buttons 1-4 in a vertical line on the right hand side.
Now Select OK and it will take you up one level to the Device configuration menu.
Select ‘Size of audio buffer’ and change to ‘small’
Select Remap Physical Keys:
Press the left analogue stick button (L3) to re-map the button on it. Map it to LALT by finding it in the list and pressing “O” (This enable this key to swap input methods between Joystick and Mouse mode)
Select Remap Physical Keys again, press L2 button on your OUYA controller and map to L (You need this key mapped to load a hard drive folder later on in the emulator menus)
Select ‘Video settings’ and tick ‘separate thread for video’. Linear video filtering is already ticked so leave that as is. You can decide if you want 4:3 ratio or stretched. I use stretched so I leave this unchecked.
Select OK. The app will proceed to download files and load the emulator.
You should now be at the emulator menus:
Navigate to ‘Preset System Setup’ and push right to select A1200
Select Display settings:
Preset width should be 640
Change ‘preset height’ to 640x256
Return to main menu
Select More options:
Change mouse speed to .5
Return to main menu
THIS NEXT SECTION IS FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO USE WHDLOAD OR LOAD HDF GAMES – ITS WORTH SETTING UP THIS WAY IMO.
Select ‘Hard Disk & Memory Options’
Change ‘Boot HD to ‘File’
Select ‘HD Dir’
Navigate to where your WHDLoad Folder is and press L2 (Mapped to L) on the OUYA controller.
You should be taken back to the menu page and HD Dir should be WHDLoad
Select ‘HD file’
Navigate to where your Systemlite.hdf file is located and select (Or any game .hdf file should you choose to load games that way)
For those wanting to load floppy disk games, change floppy speed to 4x or 8x.
Return to main menu
Select ‘More Options’
Change CPU Speed to '12T2'
Return to main menu
IMPORTANT – SELECT 'SAVE GENERAL CONFIG' from the main menu – this will make your selections your default setup.
Now exit the App.
Obtaining kickrom files:
You need to obtain the following kickroms named as follows:
kick13.rom
kick31.rom
Only certain kick31.rom versions work. Not every revision works, which sucks!
If in doubt, purchase the Amiga Forever Essentials Here for $1
You need to place the kickroms in the following folder:
sdcard0/Android/data/pandora.uae4all.sdl/files/kickstarts/
Use something like ES File Explorer to do this part.
If you are struggling to find working kickrom files you can get them via android market.
Search for the app Amiga Forever Essentials.
There are some files (kickroms) that must be located in your System/Dev/Kickstarts folder within the systemlite image to make some (Not all) games work using WHDLoad.
So this part is optional depending on what games you play.
You will need to add these somehow (and also rename them) - see below
Take a copy of kick13.rom, save and rename it kick34005.a500 in your WHDload kickstarters folder.
Take a copy of kick31.rom, save and rename it kick40068.A1200 in your WHDload kickstarters folder.
Now you need to get these to the System\Devs\Kickstarts directory within your systemlite image.
Easiest way would be to add the files to the kickstarter folder within your WHDLoad folder as mentioned.
Then in the workbench you can drag and drop into System\Devs\Kickstarts directory from the WHDLoad folder.
Once this part has been done, you can launch the app.
Select ‘Reset’ to start the emulator.
If you have used my setup file – systemlite.hdf it should load to the workbench. All you need to do is select iGame and have it scan for your games (My old games list may be present but will dissapear once you do a scan).
To do this, load iGame, then right mouse click the top of the screen and select the scan option (left mouse click) It may take a minute or so.
It will auto scan the WHDLOAD folder structure for your games if you have used my files.
If you want to support WHDLoad development you will need to get your own personal WHDLOAD keyfile. Once you have this you need to save it into the $ directory on your systemlite.hdf workbench image.
The easiest way to do this is on a PC using WINUAE.
OUYA Controller Keys:
U = Left mouse click (When in mouse mode)
Y = brings up the Amiga keyboard
A = right mouse click (When in mouse mode)
O = Joystick fire (Also acts as left click mouse when in joystick mode)
R2 = Return to menu / game
Touchpad = Mouse navigation
And if you mapped these correctly:
L3 = Select input method - Pressing L3 switches between modes. If you press it once, you can use the analog stick to move the mouse around. Press it twice more to go back to joystick control.
L2 = L
Mouse emulation:
The mouse can be moved with the analogue stick, D-pad or the OUYA touchpad.
To hide the on screen controls:
Enter the "change device configuration menu" on startup
Select on screen keyboard menu
Select remap on screen controls and un-tick all the boxes then Seleck ok
Select ok
Select ok.
App should now load with no on screen controls.
RESOURCES - These Helped make this possible, so please support them
Developers Website: Here This app is not on the OUYA store so you will need to side load it.
WHDLOAD Website: http://www.whdload.de/
ClassicWB by Bloodwych: http://classicwb.abime.net/
iGame Website: http://winterland.no-ip.org/igame/ - If you need instructions to use.
I bought a registration for WHDLOAD ($30USD) to support development.
You can use it without buying but it does have a nag screen for the unregistered version but this only comes up when you first launch a game.
Hopefully this guide is accurate and works for you….
Credits to Lubomyr for creating such a great app for Android / Ouya
And anyone else involved in its development.
Enjoy

Updated the 1st post as I hadn't included the part for adding the kickstart roms
Thanks for the guide, but for me the mouse cursor doesn't match what I'm doing in the Amiga environment. Any clue how to fix that?

I think with the OUYA there are 2 mouse cursors on screen when you use the touch pad.
1 for OUYA environment and one for the app.
If you use the left analogue you should only see one cursor
No way to fix that as the app is not officially supported
Some corrections;
- You can press L3 to switch between modes. If you press it once, you can use the analog stick to move the mouse around.
- You only need kick31.rom (since that's the only one selected), but only one certain version works. Google for "kick31.rom" to get it. Not every revision works, which sucks.

Yep, there are incompatible kickroms out there.
Unfortunately I can't share the working one as it's copyrighted.
I will add the google search suggenstion to the to guide if that brings up the correct kick31.rom
cheers
It seems some games just won't work without more kickstart roms (and I have no idea where to get them or where to put those). For example, try to run Another World (WHD). It'll say something like;
DOS-Error #205
(object not found)
on reading "devs:kickstarts/kick34005.a500"

UPDATE: From another forum:
"you need the actual kickstart files themselves, so in the above instance, take your kickstart 1.3 which you use for winuae, copy it to the System\Devs\Kickstarts dir, make sure its unzipped and rename it to kick34005.a500."
Easiest way would be to add the kick13.rom to the kickstarter folder within your WHDLoad folder and rename it as kick34005.a500 (you may find something there already) . Then in the workbench you can drag and drop into System\Devs\Kickstarts directory then they will work.
You will also want to do this with your kick31.rom renaming it to kick40068.A1200 and also saving it as mentioned above in the systemlite System\Devs\Kickstarts directory.
All the games I play work great. Can't say i've tried Another world but it was a cool game so I will give it a go when I get some time.
I mainly use it for Sensible World of Soccer
Update: Just tried it and it works
Bear in mind, the Systemlite image is a living file.
When you do something to it, it will save those changes so in the above instance, once you add the kickstart once it will save in that location and you don't need to do it again.
Something to bear in mind for once you have it all set up you should maybe make a backup.
Two players not working!
Hey this is good work, but its unfortunate two players don't work. I've tried sensible world of soccer 96/97, when I do two players. one controller controls both teams I wanted this amiga emulator working 2 players so badly but I don't think this controller issue will be fix. unless we get a proper port from developer.

I have updated the top thread with a new WB. Here is the summary:
Systemlite WB with iGame (Inc Game Art) (42.5mb)
Changes from the previous image include:
WB boots directly to iGame
iGame opens full screen.
iGame includes game screenshots (Full Amiga games database structured for WHDLoad file system - HD Folder) Just copy these over your existing folders. No games will be deleted. A game image will be written in to all folders for viewing in iGame.
Better colour scheme on WB (256 colours)
I also added to the tutorial that CPU speed should be set to 12T2 as it makes the WB more responsive.
The link contains an updated version of the app (v2.3.0.8)
This may have better support for OUYA controllers but it doesn't seem to fix the 2 player issue.
I too would love to have 2 player sensi on it.
Hopefully the Dev will solve this at some point
I just wanted to say gazdaman many thanks for writing the guide. I have been following it on ouyaforum.com. I know how much effort it takes to write guides so that others can follow.
It is great to play Senisible Soccer/SWOS again. It was never the same when not playing it on an AMIGA. 1990's here we come (again!).
The whole WHDLoad thing works well also.
Finally is it me or the ouya controller, but the pass/kick button did not seem fully responsive all the time. I missed an open goal!!! I guess I should try a PS3 controller.

You're welcome mate.
Happy to share the knowledge I have gained in configuring this app.
Regarding pass/shoot, maybe you are using the Autofire button?
Use U as pass/kick if your control config is set to 1 or change it to 2 (within the more options menu) which makes O the fire and U the autofire.
Sensi on the Amiga was the best by far.
Hopefully one day this app will support local 2 player.
Natural Soccer for the Ouya has great potential to compete for the Sensi crown and hopefully the Dev adds tournaments and online play sometime.
An online league feature would be awesome and I doubt we will ever see online play for the amiga emulator.
If Natural Soccer added this it could be the New Sensi - No pressure Schleinzer

So after updating to OTA 63, I noticed that PC Streaming outside the network using Shield Proxy was no longer working. I would have the same issues I had before I had upgrade my ISP service to over 5 Mbps which is basically the lowest you can go to achieve streaming outside efficiently.
The main issues I was having was it seemed if I connected to Steam or other game, it would launch, show for a second, and then after a few seconds disappear and say it could not continue due to network interference. I know full well that it worked before the OTA, and so I set out to fix it. I also had a problem where if I disconnected it would immediately tell me it was "busy streaming to another device" even though that device was indeed the one I JUST disconnected from.
I have not completely tested this fix, but if anybody intends to do so before the end of tomorrow and report back that would be fine. If not, I will be testing this as soon as I can tomorrow.
As another added note, the streaming lag, which was non-existent or barely noticeable was much greater even on a local network after the OTA.
This fix assumes the following:
- You have GeForce Experience 1.7.0.1
- You are rooted
- You have CWM installed as recovery
- You have updated to OTA 63 or 64
- Your Shields bootloader is Unlocked (which would be assumed if CWM is recovery)
Anyways, here is the fix:
1. Either download the attached ZIP (and extract), or go here and download and rename the files (Shield PC Streaming, TegraZone Dashboard, and Shield Services) in the following manner in a directory on your desktop:
shield_pc_streaming[1].apk - nvpgcservice.apk
shield_services[1].apk - RothProvider.apk
TegraZone_Dashboard[1].apk
2. Download ES File Explorer and Use Root explorer with "/system" mounted as R/W to delete all the above APKs in "/system/app" and reboot
3. Clear all data in the following apps under the "ALL" category in Settings->Apps:
- Shield Services
- Shield PC Streaming
- Dashboard
3. Copy the renamed APKs you put in the directory mentioned in step 1 to a similar directory on your "Internal storage" of the Shield ("/sdcard")
4. Using ES File Explorer's Root Explorer in the same manner as above, copy those APKs you just put on your internal storage in the "/system/app" directory of your Shield
5. Reboot to recovery (CWM) and wipe both cache, and dalvik-cache just to be safe, and reboot to system
6. On your computer under "Preferences->Streaming" press the "Reset" button
7. Connect to your PC and click the usual "Connect" button, and have fun!
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please let me know. If you try this and it doesn't work, please let me know what results you have, as I have been getting drastically better results.
I got the idea for this fix from this thread in which agrabren had mentioned he replaced the new Dashboard with the older one, and it seemed to work fine. Then knowing that (obviously) apps must specify a minimum (not maximum) API level, I decided to try the stock Dashboard, Streaming Services, and PC Streaming App. I am very new to XDA, and don't really post anything, I mostly use the forum to find information, but I figured there hasn't been much in the way of fixes for this, and I got anxious xD
Please understand I am very much a newer XDA member, but thought this would probably help some people.
UPDATE:
So I realized that it was not working remotely, but the local network mode was working much better.

Hi all,
first of all I am pretty much beginner level for Android rooting.
Actually what I want to do is play around a bit with the system files and see if I can find some way to turn off HDMI CEC. There is some post here where someone did this by modifying a file on the Amazon FireTV.
But for starters I am even failing to access the file system via my PC
I have rooted following the tutorials, I have installed ES File Explorer , I have granted root to ES Explorer when the SuperSU popup appeared (and it also shows as being granted in the SuperSU app).
Also I enabled Root Explorer in ES File Explorer.
Then when activating Remote Manager when /sdcard is set as FTP root directory I can access the file system (below /sdcard) via FTP from my PC and do see the files - so FTP access basically works and I am pretty sure there is no issue on the PC side.
However when I set / as FTP root directory and then connect from my PC via FTP (using Total Commander, FileZilla.... the client makes no difference) then I can't see anything at all, it lists an empty directory (or not even that as on an empty directory I'd have the ".." entry and I don't even have that.
Also when I try setting anything else except /sdcard as FTP root directory in Remote Manager in ES File Explorer it's the same thing.
It seems when accessing the file system via FTP I just don't have the necessary privileges to browse the root file system.
Within ES File Explorer itself on the other hand it's no problem to browse everything, there I do seem to have the necessary privileges.
Can anyone help me please, either this is an issue with rooting on the Shield or with ES File Explorer on the Shield or I am making some dummy mistake.
I have searched on Google for hours looking for a solution to this but I hardly even find people having this problem.
So now I am a bit puzzled.
How is one supposed to gain access to the root file system via the PC?
Also how do I get SSH access with root privileges?
tbh this all seems a bit strange to me, I am rooted, but it seems almost impossible to gain access to the root file system from the PC!?
I am also amazed because something like this can be achieved on any jailbroken iOS device by any beginner within 5 minutes without any issues, and I always thought for the much more open Android environment there would be 100s of entry paths and 1000s of tutorials but I seem to find hardly anything at all and after hours and hours of trying and research I still fail even accessing the damn root file system from my PC

Are you doing this to just turn off HDMI CEC? You can do that without root on stock in the settings>HDMI
I haven't rooted my Shield TV pro. I prefer it stock with the lean back launcher so I can't help accessing the root file system.

Well basically yes I am doing this only for the HDMI CEC. It is kind of a big deal in actual usage of my Shield actually.
Apparently there is a bug in the Shield firmware related to HDMI CEC, that for me (and many others) results in this behavior when the Shield TV is connected to an AV receiver.
In my case the Shield is connected to an Onkyo TX-RZ3100 and then from there to a Samsung TV.
HDMI CEC is enabled on both because if it wasn't then the ARC audio return channel wouldn't work (but this is needed, otherwise I won't have audio when watching terrestrial TV which is being received by the Samsung TV).
Now what happens is that whenever I turn on the TV, then the AV receiver also switches on via HDMI CEC (in this case this is wanted and normal behavior).
However when the Shield is connected to the AV receiver (which it normally is), then the Shield will *also* turn itself on and switch the AV receiver to the input of the Shield.
So e.g. if I want to turn on the TV to play with the PS4, then I end up with the Onkyo turning on, showing me the PS4 screen as the AV receiver is switched to the input of the PS4. But then 20s later suddenly the Shield turns itself on and switches the Onkyo to its input.
So the end result is this: whenever I turn on the TV to do anything else (PS4, satellite receiver, HTPC, cable box....) then 20s later the Shield will switch to its input and force me to manually switch back to what what I actually intended to watch.
It looks like the issue was introduced with the 5.x firmware as it didn't happen before.
Now you say I should switch off HDMI CEC via settings - however there are no settings to switch it off unfortunately.
There is no Settings/HDMI (in 5.x) .
What's there is Settings / Display & Sound / Power Control, and there you can switch "CEC TV on" and "CEC TV off", however this only controls whether the Shield will turn on (or off) the TV when switching it on/off - and I have these settings set to disabled. But this doesn't help.
Unless I am missing some other settings there seems to be no way to completely switch off HDMI CEC via the UI.
Ah so turning off CEC TV in the normal settings doesn't solve it. Yes that's the options I did mean. In Display and Sound. Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe try the app Settings Editor in the play store on the shield. It might have the settings to completely disable CEC
