hello all!
i managed to do do the rooting thing by myself (thats what i think) and i just need u guys to tell me if i did right
1- i followed this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/how-to-root-android-pie-8-0-1-nvidia-t3982709
2- my shield is now showing that error message at the start telling its unlocked,
3- i have now magisk and twrp installed and i can see the root directory.
Now to the things that i need to understand here is what do i need the rooted image from nvidia for? and why cant i access the root from ftp ? only my usb drive and sd card is showing but root not accessed from ftp.
MY android is: 8.1
Thanx in advance for all help.
2- it's not an error, but a warning.
Don't worry about it
The development image from nvidia is running a developer build of android which is prerooted and in theory su's like magisk should be easier to install.
The stock ota/recovery images comes with more protection which makes them harder to root and to do changes to the system, but thanks to people like @rootfan it's pretty much painless.
Are you sure it's ftp and not smb?
Smb just shows the internal and external drives.
If you are using an ftp server app on the shield you need to setup the paths yourself within that app.
Thanx for clearifying this, so in my case i dont need any image cuz i alredy done it i guess.
I tried to set up the ftp server to point to the root directory in my nvidia shield but i could not find any app that can point the root. All apps seems old.
How do you guys fix this?
I'm using servers ultimate.
I also think the app just called ftp server can do it.
Solid explorer might also be able to.
Atleast in servers ultimate I have to manually type in the path which is just "/" that should bring you to the root folder.
I use server ftp and server ultimate. The first one works flowless but no root. The second one that you said have root access but i cant connect to the server for unkbown reason. Could be the port

I tried that ultimate one and it says its runing but i cant connect to it from pc. My unrooted ftp server app works without problems. Any other apps out there that i can try?
Edit: after testing few things i managed to run ftp from browser bytyping ftp:// my external ip : port
But this doesnt work from an ftp client from my pc at the same netwrok. Even if i give the box internal ip.

Which one of the ftp servers within servers ultimate are you running?
I can only get "ftp server" to work and not the native one.

i found the problem, it was network problem, not ftp server, all worked fine, when i changed to another ftp client (total commander) instade of (winscp) it worked, i guess its has something to do with passive or active mod in the connection. now when i connect from pc i can run ftp root ( / ). thanks alot for helping me out.
i know its not so big thing rooting the shield cuz these days u can allmost do anything by sideloading apps or games but do you guys have any tips what do to with rooted box that cant be done with sideloading?

Hi Friends !!!
I want some way for sharing files between pc and ppc with wifi . i was bored from connecting my phone to pc by Cable .
can anybody help ? PLZ
My phone is HTC Diamond
total commander is an easy way to access shares from a pda
but of cause the pda have to be a valid user to the share like any other
computer trying to access a shared storage
You can also install an ftp server like Mocha ftp. After you have started the ftp server, you can use your favourite ftp client on the PC to access the files on the PPC - no need to poke/type on the PPC all the time if you're in front of a PC already.
Sorry but can u explain more about this ftp network .
i dont have any experience with FTP . what apps should i have ?
in pc ? in ppc ? :|
Sorry , but can u help with mocha ftp ? how is it work ?
and one thing more that how can i find my pc and ppc 's IP ?
remote desktop? u can rdp from the ppc to the pc and enable the disk share thing.
Resco File Explorer! It's Shareware - but works very well...
You see windows-shares-NAMES, no IP!
lg....
Mocha ftp is a free download from http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm. You can find the license key just below the download button.
Once you have started the Mocha ftp server you should set a username and password in File -> Settings and then click on the Start button. The IP Address of the PPC is displayed on the status page of Mocha ftp server.
Now you should be able to use ftp://username:[email protected]_address from your desktop, or the command line ftp client, or any other ftp client.
Hmm, I just tried ftp://username:[email protected]_address from Windows Explorer and it did not work :-(
I don't know a good Windows ftp client, because I don't use Windows normally. Maybe someone else can help there.

Start - Settings - connections - WLAN - 2nd tab you see your ip, but switch your wlan on.
Or use LANview, there you see all ip's in the network
Hi Boys .... I thank all your efforts for my problem .... TNX
I downloaded ( SmartFTP ) ftp client for windows and i tried to connect to my phone but it says :
[19:15:57] Resolving host name "169.254.26.25"
[19:15:57] Connecting to 169.254.26.25 Port: 21
[19:15:26] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[19:15:27] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...
[19:15:27] Client closed the connection.
I Don't know what to do . HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ !!!!!!
Just to make sure: is 169.254.26.25 the same IP address you see in Mocha ftp server? And you clicked on "Start" in Mocha ftp server, so you see "State: online"?
If yes, it is possible that the Mocha ftp server is not compatible with SmartFTP (although it should work, but it did not work for me with Windows Explorer or KDE konqueror).

Isn't there any other way except ftp ???
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467877 it works
I usually use hfs file server. Very simple and powerful but can not do folders. The best for files. Be anywhere with a wifi connect & download from your pc running hfs direct to your phone.
Mocha is nice too. Use Total commander's ftp abilities on your pc while mocha is running on your phone.
I will say for large files such as a 500+ mb avi, a card reader is faster.

Hey all, I was very surprised that i couldnt find any info on this by googling or searching forums...
i have an apk i want to send to my phone, but i don't have the usb cable with me.
my phone is rooted and is running JFV1.3 and i want to be able to use telnet or ftp or something (file sharing?) to transfer files to it but i can't seem to see how to do it - am i missing something? is this impossible for some reason?
please help, i really wanna try out this thing and i have no patience to wait till i get home and look for my cable...
Thanks,
E.
Well you could either try to telnet into the phone after running telnetd, run an ssh or ftp server in debian, or (more simply) start an apache server on your desktop and host the file then download it off your phones web browser.
huh?
can you do that again, but slowly?
I've tried to connect with scp and couldn't, i have also tried telneting to it and could, that was allot of fun )) but i didn't know how to send files
I'm gonna try installing an ftp on my machine and d/ling a client from the market and connecting to my pc and getting it from there, see if that works...
but seriously can u elaborate on the other ideas u gave?
Edit:
Yay, ftp server on PC and ftp client on phone and now i have my game on!
thanks guys, any thoughts about samba file sharing?
Oh yeah maybe telnet won't let you send files by default. Glad to see you got it working.
hi everybody,
this is my first post here on xda. i just got my magic 32b and i'm still trying to figure everything out.
i'm currently running cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i'm wondering if there's any way to transfer files to the SD card wirelessly, without having to plug in the phone and mount the SD card. thanks!
I installed swi FTP on my phone you have to setup a user name and password port 2121 and run fire ftp on firefox it an add on you have to install setup phones ip address and same user name and password works great
You can tranfer files via FTP over Wifi or over Bluetooth.

If you're a Mac user you can use an app from the market called 'On Air'. Works a treat.
There's also an app called aFile in the market which gives you a webinterface (running on the phone) where you can manage and upload files.

I've been using this one for over 3 months and just love it. Give it a try
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY

@avilove4u
This is not a free solution , you need a wifi Pc (90 % of computers at work don't have wifi) and is too complicate for users.
Use my method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
It's a "One click free solution using USB cable" (no need to install other paids tools)
Not yet perfect, but still under development (I am the developper)
"This is a crap , as u cannot do much !"
Please stay on your thread next time before posting such kind of message on my thread.
No need to press "Thanks".
Ha ha lol !
Ur method has certain limitations :banghead:
Now adays every laptop and PC are wifi enabled !
I heard that connectify doesn't require root phone and we don't need that wpa_suplicant.

You heard correct (in most cases). If your device already supports ad-hoc network connections, then all you'd need to do is set up the hotspot with Connectify (or Virtual Router) and connect to it. Otherwise, this method's for you.

I've successfully shared the LAN's network of my notebook (DELL) with my android tablet (Mediacom 852i with OMA ROM JB 4.1.1)
Thank you very much for sharing your information.

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong. You're whole post sounds like it comes from a jealous, whiny little girl. And until you can back up this statement, I'm going to assume you are either a liar or an idiot.
Useful app especially for area with bad reception and no wifi.

This is sooo useful...thank you.
I think my wifi router had broken a couple of hours ago. But now I can use ad-hoc connection from my PC.
I use Huawei Ideos S7 to connect to my windows XP sp3 wifi.

Use an FTP server app on the Switch.
Connect via FTP client (Filezilla) from PC.
???

An alternative would be to use AirDroid on the switch, if the pc and the switch are on the same network :highfive:

If you dont want to setup FTP server on your computer, you can try Goodsync as well. It's a paid app for the server, but once you get it installed it's better than FTP. It uses its own file transfer protocol that can be used across the internet securely too. You have the server running on your computer, run the Goodsync app on Android, and then you can have it do auto/manual backups and transfers of files. There's also a desktop file browser app.
I use FX Fileexplorers "Web Access Mode"
Orrrr. copy them to the microSD's partitition and then utilize TWRP to move em over to /sdcard.
(USB doesn't register correctly with my pc, Bluetooth on switchroot denies file transfer...)
