Hello Guys,
At first a little background story:
I bought the Tablet 3 Month ago. I have got the Update to Android 6.0 in January and unfortunately, I applied it.
So If you don't want to apply a custom rom do not update to 6.0, because 5.1.1 is much better.
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.
Ok, so let's get started:
At first you must install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your PC/Laptop/Mac.
Windows: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Linux/Mac: http://rootmygalaxy.net/install-adb-and-fastboot-on-mac-or-linux/
Here is the link for all OSs: http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Before you can Root or flash a Custom Rom you must flash the recovery:
You will need:
-Nvidia Family Drivers(Extract it in a folder of your choice): http://nvidiashieldzone.com/files/shieldtv/shieldfamilydriver.zip not working anymore, official link:
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/mobile/shield/SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201801.zip
-As many of you are experiencing problems with my previously mentioned TWRP 2.8.7.3 version I am replacing the link with the official TWRP Shield Tablet Download Site. Just take the newest stable version: https://dl.twrp.me/shieldtablet/ (Put the file into the ADB+Fastboot Folder)
-TWRP 2.8.7.3 Recovery(Put the file into the ADB+Fastboot Folder): Download URL: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087009777
Developer Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3257172
Install the Drivers
Connect your Tablet to your PC
Windows:
Open your Device Manager
If there Is a device with a yellow ! klick on it and update the Drivers Manually(select the Folder where you extracted the Family Divers)
Linux:
You don't need any drivers
(For every fastboot command in ADB+Fastboot you will need a "sudo" in front of it...)
Mac:
You also don't need any drivers
(For every fastboot command in ADB+Fastboot you will need a "./" in front of it...)
Flash Recovery
1. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
2. Type in
Code:
adb devices
if you get a long term of numbers and letters your drivers are correctly installed, If this command does not bring up a device, check your cable connection and/or update your drivers again.

Please Leave a post if you are getting errors or something isn't clearly explained! And if I could help you, consider giving me a Thanks
Troubleshoot
If you are stuck in a Bootloop:
Without data loss(e.g. when you installed Xposed framework zip and its stuck in a bootloop)
1. flash the stock rom boot image BUT ONLY IF YOU DONT USE A CUSTOM ROM (it will probably loose root). go to https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload#?search=SHIELD Tablet K1&tx=$additional,shield and download the latest NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1 Recovery OS Image
2. Unpack the zip file and flash it to your Tablet
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If something went wrong while flashing a custom rom (after that you will need to flash the custom/stock rom again)
wipe the /data partition. It could be encrypted from the previous rom. Be aware that you need to reinstall the rom, therefore loose all your data. Troubleshot guide by agentbob123

My tablet just keeps rebooting to the lock screen whenever I try to go to recovery mode... Somehow twrp doesn't stick... It did when I was on Lollipop. I have already tried to flash the recovery, do a full reboot before trying to get in twrp but without success.
On mac
You dont need any drivers
(For every fastboot command in ADB+Fastboot you will need a ./ in front of it...)
example being ./fastboot oem unlock

Try other TWRP versions like 2.8.7.0 or 2.8.7.1 i think the 3.0.0.0 is for Andoid 6.0 devices so if you are currently in the newest version of the Android OS try this one out
The 3.0 versionof TWRP was unstabel on my device so you should flash it wipe the storage and flash one of the older ones

How can I remove this file without root ?

Try your normal command line for flashing recovery except change flash to boot. It doesn't flash it, just boots to it.
In other words, if you are using:
1. Fastboot Flash recovery recoveryname.img
Do instead:
2. Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
While in recovery (make sure the supersu zip is on the sd card or wherever you normally flash files from first) flash supersu. You should now be rooted but without a recovery.
Go then to delete the file and then reboot, flash the recovery as normal (#1), reboot and then it should be good to go. It was for me.
rooted device no need to unlock bootloader it will unlock for ittself
just go to playstore and dowload twrp manager
choose the name of your device
and choose one of the two versions available
for shield tablet the version 3.0.0.0 doesnt work well it spilts the screen but wthe other version Works great
the link is twrpmanager on play.google
this way you dont need to connect your tablet to your pc
Great work!
Thank you for the awesome guide. Besides deleting the TegraOTA apk, is there any other app/service that I should disable to prevent OTA updates?
Followed the guide after screwing my device up with official firmware. Thanks for nothing Nvidia, why are you offering OTA that cause the device to stop working correctly.
Nothing happened other than appearing to boot itself to the "powered by android" (kernel) screen over and over.
Held down power + volume UP ...
And it factory reset itself.
Somehow.
Did I mention that Nvidia is a terrible company?
Edit: Fixed using TWRP v3.0.0 - this guide should be updated to reflect this particuarly as people who screw their device up after trusting Nvidia OTA MM will be using it.

I'm sorry that you had that problem but this guide is a general guide and not an screw nvidia (besides they are awesom giving us a really good tablet for 200 Buck, but jea?) guide. TWRP v3.0.0 has his bugs so generally when you have finished deleting the stock rom you should flash TWRP 2.8.7.3 works the most stabel.

Add TWRP to M image (Shield 1.1)
Folks,
Just received Nvidia Shield K1 and OTA immediately upgraded it to M (Shield 1.1) and I unlocked bootloader no problem. However when I go to flash or temp boot twrp 2.x or 3.x it flashes OK, but when I reboot (either via fastboot or hard off/start to recovery manually) it appears it is overwriting the recovery partition and it just boots normally.
Is there a limitation to flashing twrp bootloader in M, and do I have to downgrade to L to flash recovery partition?
I seem to be happy w/ stock (limited stick time), I just want to root at this point and install my favs. Once I get this running will supersu pro preserve root, or do I need to turn off nvidia OTA process.
Also I see optimization for chrome, does this do anything X1 optimizations)?
Thanks

After you flash twrp reboot to recovery. I may be wrong, but I think the stock ROM overwrites the custom recovery at reboot. If you reboot to twrp first after flash, twrp will disable this.

Rooting
Hi everyone,
Yesterday got my new Nvidia Shield Tegra K1 and upon using it I noticed it's a great tablet for it's price range and will do my job easier while flying my Phantom 4. To be honest it's seems very stable and solid but was thinking about rooting it. I have some questions regarding the process wince I haven't rooted anything since my HTC Fire, log time ago that was. What are the benefits of rooting this device ? Will I still be able to update the Shield with its official updates ? Will I be able to roll back to an unrooted tablet should I need too ? I wasn't planning on flashing a custom rom but if I'll do what are the pros and cons of doing so ? I know that maybe searching this forum I would find all the answers needed but since there is so much information and threads I'm lost as from were to start from.
Would be nice to guide me about how to properly root my device with all the necessary links. My tab is running on Android 6.0.
I thank you so much guys for the hard work you all do in providing such information. I know it takes a lot of time and patience.
I just got a Shield K1. I like it a lot but I wanted to root it. Then I saw how confusing it is to distinguish between it and the previous model. My guess is whatever is out there that says Shield Tablet means the old one not the K1. I also updated mine to MM cause I'm using and 128GB micro sd card for internal storage. I guess I'll just have to wait until more support comes out for this tablet such as a stable TWRP 3.0 Recovery and the ability to gain root access and custom ROMs like CM 13.
do you recommed to install all OTAs before install custom recovery and custom roms or is it better to install twrp-2.8.7.1 out of the box and then go for the custom stuff ?
I would install all updates to get the latest bootloader. Do not install twrp 2.8.7.1. Install the official 3.0.x from the official site.
I would like to install TWRP on my new rooted NSTV-2017, but I'm not sure which one is best. I see TWRP v3.1.1-1 listed on Nvidia Shield Zone, but it wasn't actually installed as part of the rooting process. I also see Unofficial TWRP v3.0.2 listed here on XDA.
My NSTV-2017 booted OK with TWRP v3.1.1-1 when I did a fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1.img, but I don't know if that means it is fully functional and safe as a full-time recovery image. TWRP v3.0.2 is not "official" either, but I don't know if it is more (or less) stable than TWRP v3.1.1-1.
Has anybody installed TWRP v3.1.1-1 for their recovery mode, and does it work OK?
Thanks,
I have a 2017 16GB edition shield with Android 8.0
The last three days I've been tryi g to find a way to boot twrp with this rom.
.
nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-7.2.2-dev_rooted.zip
.
Flashing the rom is 100% successful and it boots and, works well, but the flashing of a TWRP that boots up is difficult to succeed with.
Have tried to flash every available twrp at twrp.me and those for both ShieldTV and shieldtablet from newest version down to 3.1.0-0 on both versions with no luck.
This i have gone thru a guide at https://nvidiashieldzone.com/shield-android-tv/android-8-oreo/shield-tv-2017-root/
Did all suggested in this guide and the guide for Android 7.
Nothing at all makes twrp boot on my shield with a 24" 1080p monitor.
My 65" 4K Samsung i use after flashing.
Hope somebody has any tip as to what to try next.
Thank you for any and all help.

Nvidia has made alot of changes in the 7.2+ versions, which is why twrp dosnt work.

Steel01 is working on it as we speak.
Hello everyone.
I can't flash any recovery via fastboot, I can only flash two recovery files one is the original twrp and second is the original op5 recovery. those cannot install the new ota.
If I try to flash any other recovery file, it enters the qualcomm boot recovery mode, white led and nothing else on phone and a qual 9008 port on pc.
What should I do? My brain kinda melted, so I might forgot to add more infos.

The questions you need to answer:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
Is your storage encryped?
What's your actual rom?
What do you want to do(installing ota from android ota menu isn't working for you or why you don't use that method)?
Please give EXACT file names of the files you're trying to flash!
Is your bootloader unlocked? Yes, although I locked then unlocked again for trying.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? yes, I tried both
Is your storage encryped? probably no, I wiped everything but before it wasn't necessary to enter a unlock code or fingerprint etc.
What's your actual rom? It was on oreo, now I don't have a rom lol
What do you want to do(installing ota from android ota menu isn't working for you or why you don't use that method)?
Installing from Ota wasn't successful, sideload does not work, installing custom recoveries result in qualcomm boot (black screen with white led)
only twrp working is this untouched twrp but it has not able to flash the new pie.. https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus5.html
twrp from the clockworkmod not able to boot.
My intent is to flash new pie and root. I can't able to flash the pie's original beta recovery too. https://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery.img
Also I can't mount vendor too I don't know if this causes the problem or not....

Ok, so it seems you have an old Oreo stock oos rom before without vendor partition and trying to flash an pie rom and pie recovery, but still on Oreo firmware that's not possible cause newer recoveries need pie firmware which comes along with oos pie roms and you're missing the vendor partition which comes with 5.1.4.
Your starting point is the same as mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/qa-help-thread-newbies-post-t3624656/post79251968
OOS 5.1.4 then you have a vendor partition, then you can install one of those stock Pie oos roms.
You can install oos 5.1.4 with stock recovery or with siankatabg's or with this one

Then you just need to follow the instructions for the stock oos or beta rom.

**UPDATE** I reinstalled the stock 8.0 Developer ROM and I was able to get past the Nvidia logo and boot Android. I then found a TWRP (3.3.1, had to Google around a bit, PM me for link if you need it) and it worked and I was able to boot into TWRP.
However, my main objective was to install Lineage OS, and none of the ones I've found install correctly. I was trying to install the Nightlies on the official Lineage OS website, as well as try to install the Lineage OS with MicroG ROMs both 14 and 15 LOS, but none of those install. Infact I was told in the TWRP dialog that I have too new of a bootloader for LineageOS MicroG 15 to even install.
IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE THE BOOTLOADER VERSION? It says I'm on 00.00.2018.xxxxxxxxxx but this Nvidia Shield TV is a 2015 variant?
**END OF UPDATE**
Hey all, after purchasing a used Shield TV off Craigslist, which I presume updated itself to the newest OTA, when I turned it on, I now have some issues.
After I let it install the newest OTA as of yesterday, I enabled Developer Options and enabled USB Debugging.
I then got into fastboot using the HW method, and proceeded to install the newest TWRP I found for Foster.
After I installed the TWRP, I tried to boot into recovery, and it did nothing besides restart and boot normally back to the Android TV OS.
I flashed it a few more times, until I decided to just wipe the entire thing using fastboot -w I believe.
After that the Nvidia Shield TV no longer booted normally, but was stuck on the Nvidia Shield TV logo.
So I thought, okay, lets revert back to a stock image, and I proceeded to download 2 different Nvidia Shield Developer Images, and go through the steps to flash the stock image back to the Shield TV.
After going through those steps, and seeing all the steps complete successfully, I am still only able to boot to the Nvidia logo screen, and it does not move past that.
I have tried reinstalling the stock image countless times, and I'm still stuck on the logo.
Does anyone have any idea with where I should proceed now?
**I've tried different USB cables, and different HDMI cables and still not doing anything different.

I'm trying to install lineage in the 2015 box and have the same problem, I downgraded the bootloader to versions t210-ab068ba1, t210-4954eb9e, t210-3461c2e2, etc,etc.... I tray all the bootloaders down to Nvidia Experience 6 and none let me install lineage whit success, I'm abled to install lineage but then it won't pass the Nvidia logo, also tested several version of twrp, official and unofficial, the result it's the same and I can't find a solution anywhere, install all the recovery images, etc... I've also read all the forum and all the article's and guide's I can find and no solution, if you find a solution, let me know
edit: to change the bootloader, download the Nvidia Experience image you want, extract and flash in fastboot using "fastboot flash staging blob"

In developer forum there is a thread about Lineage, to successfully install Lineage you need to downgrade to experience 7.1 and use last oficial twrp for shield, this is the only know way to install Lineage
