rooting shield - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i recently installed developer image 8.0 on my 2017 16gb shield, now i want to install twrp and then flash the kernel to increase cpu and gpu clock and mainly full fan control, i have read that there is no root available but with dev image which is already rooted is it safe to install twrp and the kernel and how do i do it, thank you.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/kernel-overclock-kernel-2-22-ghz-t3943079
There is root available, works with both the developer image but also the stock ota.
All the kernel's/modified boots there comes with magisk root.
If you have no idea how to do it, I wouldn't suggest you start doing it.
But there a plenty of guides here on the forum on how to root, flash images and boot into twrp.

I guess my question is as the dev edition is already rooted do i need to install magisk or just flash the kernel which is what i wanted to begin with. So just to twrp temporarily and then flash kernel but not install twrp, i am not entirely sure.

You can boot into twrp from fastboot.
"fastboot boot twrp.img"
Magisk is included in the kernel, so if you flash the kernel, magisk will also be installed.

I understood that part, so do i have to flash twrp after flashing kernel with temporary twrp or just leave as it is with stock recovery for it to work.

I would suggest just leaving the stock recovery there.
I tried flashing twrp and ended with a bootloop, so now I just boot into twrp instead.

adb not working and how to root

I would like to root my moto xt1575 pure to try everything to improve battery life
It is running Nougat OTA zip flashed through stock recovery
I unlocked the bootloader at Motorola's web site.
I installed adb and fastboot on my windows 10 laptop. Not all the adb commands work
I want to do the image dump that magisk requires before proceeding any further.
I used Sunshine SuperSu and xposed on my HTC one m8 vzw running kitkat 4.4.4
I apologize if this is covered elsewhere or in the wrong place. Perhaps no one has rooted a stock Moto xt1575 pure already running nougat yet. If I can't figure out how to do the image dump I'm stuck with stock. I

You say you unlocked the bootloader? Why not just flash the magisk 14.3 zip in a custom recovery? (TWRP?) That is what I would do, flash TWRP, and then flash magisk through that. To do this you are going to want to follow this tutorial http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-install-twrp-and-root-moto-x-pure-2015-xt1575/ and then once in TWRP click install -> magisk zip. Let me know if this is unlcear. But yeah install TWRP, and then flash magisk through that

I installed Magisk Manager and made a patched_boot.img but I get the error no devices/emulators found when trying to run adb commands from my laptop. I uninstalled and reinstalled the motorola driver software on my laptop. I'm just trying to go by the red letters straight off the magisk page in xda, so why doesn't it work? Must be me! LoL!
You don't need patched boot image.
Flash or boot only twrp 3.x(one version can backup stock recovery, I don't remember n°).
fastboot boot nameTwrp.img
Into twrp backup all: boot, system, data(?), recovery, esp.
Important: after backup restore boot.
Flash magisk14.zip(link is in my signature).
Reboot. @jim1sn1

@fireop958
Installing SuperSU or any root app needs custom kernel installed, if you flash it on stock kernel then its anti-root mechanism will get activated and it will refuse to boot;
now first flash the stock rom via fast boot from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
then after its booted successfully, then flash the TWRP from fastboot and flash the ElimentalX kernel from TWRP, reboot and check the kernel info in about phone in settings; after then
simply flash SuperSU or magisk from TWRP to get root access

Go to below link, download and flash latest fastboot ROM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
If that does not work, use MS tool to recover phone to factory state.
Thanks this worked for me. Was freaking out a little. The scene has really changed since I've been here.

As an FYI, in order to root on this phone, assuming you are using Magisk (recommended) you will need to:
Unlock bootloader
Install custom rom (Optional step, but also recommended)
Then flash TWRP zip (This phone, TWRP is part of the boot.img)
Boot the phone
Reboot to recovery
Install GAPPS (OpenGAPPS Stock recommended personally, but any should work)
Then flash Magisk

Correct. I edited my comment to reflect that, however since OP installed a custom rom, I put the step in since I figured he would have asked about it.

Ok so my phone currently is bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk. So if I want to install a custom rom I flash in twrp, then flash twrp (while still in twrp), boot phone, reboot to recovery, flash gapps then flash magisk?
read the OP in any custom rom you want to flash, and the dev will have the details on how to flash..

Essentially. Each custom ROM is differrent, so make sure to read the OP of each custom ROM you try to confirm flashing instructions but that's the **general** flashing method I use. Magisk is overwritten with each flash because Magisk installs to the same partition as the kernel.

Samsung fastboot confirmed

I have successfully used fastboot to flash TWRP to my Tab S5e. Android 10 moved fastboot to userspace as fastbootd and if you have the right recovery it works on Samsung. I used Lineage recovery from local 17.1 build on my machine. Got curious about fastboot options in recovery and it works. Check this to better understand https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/fastbootd Yep that is source.android link no joke. Device codename can be seen in screenshots.
Does this mean we can flash TWRP Recovery and then just root it with flashing Magisk via TWRP recovery? Thanks.

Sort of, if you already have LineageOS or another custom ROM that supports it. Stock samsung does not support fastbootd. AOSP based roms should have it as of android 10. It also requires the recovery be compatable. Lineage recovery provides access current TWRP did not. It is explained here https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/fastbootd . It's a neat trick but not for initial root or custom recovery, still same as always you have to have it before you can get it. It does not replace Odin and the same steps are required as always to root or install twrp on stock Samsung. But once you have access it works to flash magisk_patched.img on LOS which can be good since Lineage 17.1 does not have official su support.

Feeling stoopid... [Magsk-patched boot + TWRP]

Hey guys,
So I grabbed the latest factory image, patched boot with Magisk, and flashed it to the phone. Works great.
But now I want to use TWRP. I can't figure out how to get TWRP on this device.
It seems there's no recovery partition, so I can't use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. I know I can flash arter97's kernel, which has TWRP baked-in, but I'm trying to figure out how to do it with the stock-Magisk-patched kernel.
Can someone please hit me with a clue-stick?

I'm on the PSMR3-RC002 version. Which version of Arter97 kernel works and is stable? Also, does this effect the Magisk root availability, or do I need to run Magisk patch on Arter's Kernel? I had used R12 in the past, prior to the new Magisk Boot-patch scheme, and also lost TWRP afterwards. I haven't gone and tried to reflash Arter97-R12 since I didn't want to bork anything and couldn't find an definitive answer.

@MoPhoMike,
I use arter kernel v12.0, seems to be as stable as can be, no hiccups or issues with 12 for me and have been running 12 for about a year.
Flash arter kernel to boot "fastboot flash boot arterxxx.img" xxx is for whichever version you flash or how you named the img.
Once the arter kernel is flashed, i then boot into TWRP. Either from bootloader on your phone, select recovery or use fastboot commands.
Then you can flash magisk from TWRP.
.
NOTE, i have some posts where folks say to boot up the phone after flashing arter kernel, then reboot to recovery and flash magisk. I do it the way i noted above and never had issues.
****No need to patch Magisk that I'm aware of****
Hope this helps...
The new version of Magisk doesn't install via recovery, but from Magisk Manager, and in doing so, it patches the boot.img from the app, then reboots, which then removes TWRP. I may just try to flash arter12 and see what happens. It sucks, because I don't have TWRP installed, and therefore can't make a nandroid backup.
