How to update to the last version when TWRP recovery is installed ? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello ShieldTV users,
I have a little problem, I flashed my shield and installed a custom recovery. Now I would like to update to the last version but when the shieldTV try to install the update, the system reboot by itself and nothing else than the Shield 6.3 menu appear.
Should I update with Adb and fastboot ?
Sorry if my questions looks dumb AF I'm a bit newbie about the shieldTV and I don't want to mess and brick it.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit : I also think about getting LineageOS, what do you guys think about it on shieldTV ?

Yes you would need to flash with fastboot.
But you will lose root and twrp if you have those.

Has anyone managed to get stock Android Oreo rooted??????
I hard bricked my 2017 trying and had to get a replacement.
I've just sent the replacement into a bootloop.
I'm not even installing it, just using " fastboot boot twrp.img"
I had twrp installed and running great before the Oreo update came along.
I think we need a twrp update....... any ideas??????

Yes after the oreo update I had to change to the latest twrp version for the shield of course I never install only fastboot

I did the update with fastboot, everything went well but I was unable to use the dev version so I used the normal instead.
Looks pretty neat, otherwise, what do you guys think about LineageOs on shield ? Can it be used a the main OS ?

I've not tried it fully but I'd say if you wanted normal Android (Not ATV) then that's the way to go.
I have had lots of China boxes with stock Android and to be honest it's a lot "simpler" but not as smooth.
By simpler I basically mean less hard to do the power user tasks that I often find myself doing.
However Android TV looks better and the average user would probably find it easier to find something to watch.
Also you lose all the gaming features.
Basically you end up with a powerful China box (U could have saved money buy just getting a China box)

Easiest way to install is:
Restore TWRP Backup. Seems to work even on unlocked sprint.
Get the backup from HERE
Instructions on how to restore:
1. Download the rar, extract it to your PC.
2. Boot to recovery mode, take a backup of just the boot.
3. Mount USB Storage in TWRP, and connect to PC.
4. Navigate to TWRP - Backups - HT5xxx - 2016xxx
5. Delete the stuff
6. Copy the extracted stuff (ensure that the file format of your sd card is exfat)
7. Restore using TWRP
Its recommended to factory reset.
ROOT:
Easiest way to root is by using Magisk.
Instructions:
1. Install Magisk v9 by flashing the zip in TWRP. Reboot.
2. Install Magisk Manager.
3. Open Magisk Manager - Downloads - phh's SuperUser
4. Reboot to Recovery, flash phh's SuperUser zip
5. Reboot, and install phh's SuperUser from PlayStore.
You may use Magisk Manager to disable root for Pokemon, or Google Pay.

I just completed updating. It is 99% sense 8. The only difference I'm seeing is that the quick setting shade retains the same shade of grey.
Good news: navbar icons are aosp-like now, double tap to quick switch between apps work, multiwindow works and you can change the dpi in settings like in aosp nougat. Also, the default theme closely resembles the htc10's (same wallpaper?).
So I've got a ViperOneM9 5.3.0 rom and I can't get the OTA...can I flash it manually?

Well, no luck there
I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in
app says it is available...again.
I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.
If it helps, this is the one I downloaded.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

Maybe we have to install the small file before, it seems to be a patch file. So perhaps we have to install it for the second works.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
PRODUCT.img
RECOVERY2.img
SYSTEM.img

They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.

This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

Rooting Nexus 6P / Android 7.0

Hi all.
I'm currently working on a project and need to root my Nexus 6P. I've seen a lot of guides online about rooting the device but wanted to come here to make sure the method I take won't brick the device.
About the phone:
Android Version: 7.0
Build Number: NRD90T
Kernel Version: 3.10.73-gde1f200
Baseband version: Angler-03.72
Security Patch Level: 6 September 2016
What method can I take to root this specific version? Sorry if this post is in the wrong section.
Thanks in advance.
Magisk is what I use and most. It's simple to install and keeps your root hidden. You can find the thread and files on XDA or download the app from apkmirror. The app offers you the zip you flash in TWRP. After flashed you head back into the app and verify safety net pass. It may ask to install additional files which you say yes to.
I recommend you updating your device.
Anyways, you'll need to open your bootloader with fastboot, flash TWRP and from there flash the magisk ZIP.
Also make sure you have no code on lock screen before you flash. It can have some problems with TWRP sometimes.
Magisk is what I'm currently using on my 2nd 6p and I like it alot

I replaced my 6p with a 2XL so I don't know.
My last ROM was Pixel experience. Which is very close to stock.
There's also firehound ROM, which is packed with great features

I heard alot of good stuff about pixel and I'm actually bidding on 2 broke ones on eBay. It would be cheaper to fix a broke one lol I tried pixel experience on my Nexus 6p and it boot looped it. Kinda disappointed because it said it was for nexus 6p but it is what it is.

Is it possible to upgrade after unlocking/rooting?

Lets say for example you use one of the existing tutorials to unlock the bootloader and root a Nokia 5 running on Nougat, is it possible to then upgrade to Oreo (Or Pie when it rolls out) while keeping the root/unlock? Usually phones don't accept updates when they detect they've been rooted, or the update will remove the root, something like that.
Note that I don't own this phone, I just like to know things before I get mine.
You can root with android 8 but can't upgrade from 7 to 8

What are you saying? You CAN upgrade from 7 to 8 as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you're using stock recovery. However you will have to root again after upgrading, since the upgrade process will overwrite your root
Oh and sometimes you may brick your phone and have to flash ost

New update out for devices

New update has dropped. Version P-MR2-RC001-RZR-190914.3123 and brings the phone up to September 5th for security updates.
I have the update pending but I don't want to download just yet to ensure compatibility with Arter97's kernel. If the WiFi is really better then I might jump on regardless because that's my primary issue at this point. Can anyone confirm either the kernel works or the WiFi is noticably better?

Compatibility hasn't been confirmed yet, but previous discussions with someone who had an AT&T version that was on a July update had issues with arter97's kernel on September's update. The kernel seemed to be incompatible as it failed to boot and also switched the phone back to the old slot afterwards.

It seems to be the case as the images are rather small. I'm not sure what to do now that I'm on Havoc OS GSI. Is there a possible way to patch stuffs other than system (such as vendor)?
I'm yet to make a backup as the current app I use for backup (Migrate) doesn't appear to work properly on this phone (while it worked on my previous one, Xperia XZ Premium), and that Titanium Backup hasn't been updated to be compatible with new features (such as split apks) so some backups can no longer work properly after restoring.
I also need to know if there were any improvements regarding Bluetooth compatibility. Currently I cannot use my bluetooth headset on GSI (only phone calls work), even with a modded overlay (with values changed to undo Razer's crippling of certain features such as aptX).
EDIT: I guess it's not that easy as the payloads are most likely block-based OTAs. These updates do not tolerate any changes on the partitions unlike file-based OTAs that we used to have. We'll have to wait for full factory images to come out and make a list of what we really need to flash from stock updates...
Any issues with the update etc please lmk everyone!
Enjoy it!

Wish I knew!
But I can say to them that people are wanting the factory images if no major issues are present I can't see why it wont be up there but that's me.
I tried updating but it gives me an error everytime.
(Using the Deodoxed version)
Can someone help me with this ?
So trying to game plan here. Logic tells me to flash boot, vendor, and system from factory image of current build. Then let the system update itself. Then flash arter kernel, then go into twrp and flash latest magisk zip to get root.
Is this update still Android 9 or is this taking us to android 10?

Also, for anyone that's curious, it doesn't seem to fix any of the speaker phone/call quality issues currently present in Android Pie/9 (but weren't present in Oreo). I can't speak to Wi-fi performance improvements, or other fixes mentioned in the update notice, but I am very thankful that Razer has released this OTA with security patches through September of 2019 ? ?. Thank you Razer!
Wifi
The WiFi is fixed for wifi calling I believe if you put this phone into airplane mode and trying wifi calls it would glitch the wifi out before now seems to work
I think I'll wait to install it until someone else who is more educated in this tests it and makes a guide for it to put stock back on and whatever we need to do to make Arter 97 kernel work with it.
Any fixes to the camera apk?

I have the update pending but I don't want to download just yet to ensure compatibility with Arter97's kernel. If the WiFi is really better then I might jump on regardless because that's my primary issue at this point. Can anyone confirm either the kernel works or the WiFi is noticably better?

i reflashed the stock firmware and ran the update to get the latest security update. I also have arter97 r11 kernel installed and magisk and have it rooted with no problems. Google Pay works as well as I was able to get it to pass the CTC scan.
