Hi All
I am hoping for some assistance. I am currently trying to revert back to stock Android TV, however when in bootloader and I try and flash any file I get cannot load .......
it does not matter which file it is. Current running Lineage OS and have latest adb and fastboot installed on PC. I have tried Android TV versions 5.1 & 5.2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Try other usb cables. Shield tv is picky. It is well known. Also try with usb 2.0 ports as some 3.0+ can cause interference.

Recently I recovered my device from HardBrick state using MSM8994DownloadTool
After this, my phone is not getting detected by PC. Neither in ADB nor in fastboot. What should I do?
I tried changing ROM but still nothing is happening. Its still not getting detected.!
Can you charge the phone? Also tried a different PC and as well to reinstall the drivers. After recovering OP2 via the tool it should have impacting the OP2 it self, so far this looks like as issue with USB port or drivers within your PC. Also try to recovery it once more, do a rollback via the tool, it may happen that something went wrong at the time you used the tool

Try to do the recovery once again if you already didnt do so. I also suggest to try a different PC to try to connect

I tried different PC's as well. None of them are detecting it. Moreover, I need my phone to get detected to do the recovery. Until and unless it isnt gonna get detected, I am helpless.
Thanks

I think you could try re-install official driver. Example Guide: http://www.technobuzz.net/oneplus-two-usb-drivers/
Or use AirDroid to wirelessly transfer your file to your phone. And Update it. (BEAWARE: But if you internal storage is wipe, then you will need a Mac or someone else PC to help you. For example, Best Buy or Apple Store.)
Also try to use another cable, it could happen that the cable itself is faulty. Also connect the phone to the PC while is unlocked. Next think allow within the phone MTP.
Go to settings -> storage -> the three dots right upper corner -> activate (MTP)
It worked. Thanks all of you. I Reflashed the OS and it started working. I guess problem was with the OS.
#Peace

Great that it worked for all of yoy, remember if stuck on boot,99% phone is bricked. If something doesnt work after somekind of FW upgrade, probably corrupted and do a clean refresh.

Can I use the stock recovery OS for Software Upgrade 3.3.0 on the shield 2017? I wan't to use this to keep the HDHomeRun App to still work with DRM Channels.
I've asked the same question on another board and haven't got an answer. I also had a chat with Nvidia and the guy kept asking why I wanted to do that. I just asked is the 3.3 firmware compatible. He didn't give me an answer.
im kinda wondering what would happen if i did it? i have a 2017 shield but i dont feel like bricking it today lol
Did you brick yours? I oem unlocked and mine doesn't boot anymore. I do see it in windows as APX in device manager.
You'll probably brick your device. I say this because I highly doubt the new shield shares the exact same hardware as the old. It may be running X1 just like the old shield but the Bluetooth wifi ram internal storage etc are most likely different.
any1 get adb to work on 2017 model?
adb works fine, make sure you have a male to male usb cable, and enable it under the storage setting menu, should be called usb transfer or something.
My guy at NVidia said, "I wouldn't recommend doing that."
He was interested in more information - so I passed along the OP.
My Nvidia guy asked:
Can you find out what version of HDHomeRun app he is using? Is the app the green or grey version?
Green
i can get adb to work re reboot/push/pull but cant get any shell commands to work, all return errors, is there anything i can do
On a whim i downloaded kingroot from their website, and sideloaded it to my tv. ran it, and i am rooted! i was very surprised since aftvnews said this firmware wasn't rootable.
https://kingroot.net/
sideload using adb over wifi, or toss it on a usb stick or sd card and install it with es file manager or similar.
i can toss up a video if anyone needs proof.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=430mVIUrkog there we go.
now just need to see if someone can get a build of twrp running on this thing so i can get xposed. XD
Maybe it will work on my 2nd Gen Fire TV.
Attempted root
I tried to root my Element Fire TV on Ver. 5.2.5.1 using King root and it failed. Afterwards none of the home page items would load up just the very top bar where you can select settings. However I was able to factory reset it and everything is back to normal.

Have you been brave enough to try it?
Also how you suppose I could go about getting the fire TV version of the app store. I accidentally overwrote mine with the tablet version. It messed some things up...

Yeah it got to 80 then failed
Is root required to get Play Store running on this?

Can you tell me what arm version the TV runs on ?, If its not 64 bit and you can connect with ADB over usb there is a possibility that my guide I made for the fire stick v1 on installing xposed before a recovery was released could work, especially if you can factory reset the TV then you would have no loss for trying.
pretty sure it is arm64, and i don't have an A-A cable, which i assume would be needed for the tv, since it only has A ports.

Yes well i know it worked with the original firestick I've no sure way of saying it would work for any other device to be honest, when I was searching for ways to install xposed on the firestick before rbox released a recovery I was trial and erroring alot of things and wasn't too bothered of bricking because I'd of been able to get another quite cheap. If there is a sure fire way of a recovery from anything on the fire TV then I'd say give it a shot but if there isn't anyway of recovering from a non boot situation I'd not suggest it.
I fastboot flashed a system update and now the only way i can get into the bootloader is via adb, then once i am in I cannot interact with it on screen.
Any thoughts on this?

Are you sure that the Controller/Keyboard is plugged into the USB port next to the HDMI port?

yes. this was on my first stv which i ended up bricking. I have 4 of the OG shield tablets which are much more durable in terms of software mods.
In my research I found someone on youtube with a process to downgrade the bootloader, in his tutorial he states clearly that you will no longer be able to interact with the bootloader via controller/keyboard and must use ADB to reach it (exactly where I was)
I believe i got there being trigger happy flashing DTB files, from what i've read (also elsewhere on the internet) the DTB file is the most dangerous thing to flash to the STV and in many cases is not necessary (moving between small updates)
It would seem its better to flash an update without the DTB first and have to re do it than flash it as the flashboot script provided by nvidia states.
Regardless I am disappointed there seems to be such little development on this great little machine, especially compared to the shield tablet. We barely even have a custom rom and the thing ships with an unlock-able bootloader!
Wait I to have lost control of bootloader in my Nivida Shield tv 2017 version after the 7.2.2 update I put in the keyboard and i can select anything in the bootloader. Im not sure if the controller works b/c at first it didnt I had to update the controller as well for it to recognize the controller again. Anyone also having usb driver issues. I'm on windows 7 still so that could be the reason I'm having issues finding these new tegra drivers and the ones from 2018 dont work?
As title. I have just purchased a 2017 Shield TV, and it came rooted with Pie 9.0. Now, I don't really care for that at all. I mostly just use Plex with my devices, and that's why I bought this. Save me turning on my Xbox One X just to watch a movie, ha ha. I don't really want an extra "warning" screen when I boot it up, and would prefer it to simply just work from the remote (I may consider selling on the controller as I have multiple xbox / PS4 / Switch / 8bitdo controllers if required).
Anyway, as it has full Android on there, rather than the original Shield OS, do I loose anything with respect to the Plex app (which is my most used app), or Amazon Prime Video? Are there any other media limitations that I may experience from running a rooted system?
I am relatively happy with flashing firmwares and such (I regularly play about with CFW on my Switches and Vitas). So is there a guide anywhere that will show me how to put this shield back to stock? Rooted or otherwise.
if you want to flash the device back to stock go here
https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload
make sure you read everything about how to do it first and make sure you download the correct rom image for the correct device otherwise you will brick the device.
i have the 2017 16gb model with the developer rom (stock rom with root capability). i rooted mine with magisk but really i don't see any reason to really root it other than adblocking. i use mine mainly for plex and iptv. i do use atv laucher pro. i don't like the stock home screen setup. also i can download just about any app from https://www.apkmirror.com/ put the apk on a usb stick and load it with es file manager or even the stock file manager software.

Thanks for the help. I got there in the end. Had a panic when it refused to boot, and couldn't get into fastboot to try a factory reset, but plugging my keyboard in, rather than the controller, and locking the bootloader helped that.
Now back on stock and got it all set up and running. As expected, Plex is MILES better than on my Xbox One X...
