    Post Linux Research

    Hi! I still need to put my hands on a Shield device to be honest. I have been making progress on the GPU front though, to a point where acceleration is now starting to work with upstream to a point where it should be soon possible to use X. Thanks for pinging me though, I will ask for a Shield...

    Post Linux Research

    You are correct, staging/work is the branch you should use for any upstream-based X1 work. staging/nouveau is my staging area for Nouveau-related patches. staging/work is the same branch merged with the latest -next and many staging Tegra-related patches (including decent X1 support) from the...

    Post Linux4Tegra R23.1/R24.1 beta for the Shield Tablet

    I am *very* interested in knowing which kernel you have used for this. Upstream, L4T, Android? This looks very promising in any case.

    Post [Q]HW Method to Access the bootloader menu??

    It does work, but there is a trick: make sure you do not maintain the power button pressed (but keep volume down pressed). If you keep both buttons pressed, the tablet will not enter the bootloader.

    Post [Q] shield tablet as standalone monitor

    Nope, the HDMI port on ST is output, not input. I don't think the hardware is even capable of working that way.

    Post Youtube issue?

    I am also seeing this since a few days, this is quite strange.

    Post HELP! Can't get fastboot to recognize device and can't get into bootloader / recovery

    That's how it is explained in the recovery flashing instructions, although I agree this is somehow confusing.

    Post HELP! Can't get fastboot to recognize device and can't get into bootloader / recovery

    Hold Volume down pressed, but release Power immediately after pressing it and you will enter the bootloader. When this succeeds you should never see the nvidia screen.

    Post [Q] Potential bug?

    After I reverted to Dalvik I found the tablet to be very stable, so I am out of clues here. Power saving settings maybe?

    Post [Q] Potential bug?

    You don't happen to have enabled ART instead of Dalvik in the Developer Settings, do you? I remember having similar issues when I did.

    Post I dun goofed. Is it a recoverable goof??

    You are not bricked. Get the recovery image from https://developer.nvidia.com/develop4shield, and enter the bootloader and flash it following the instructions at https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/mobile/shield/SHIELD_tab/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt. In your case you...

    Post Why is there so much hate towards the Shield ?

    Well I have read the posts and my answer was not specifically targeted at you, but first and foremost to the people who spent 200+ on it and specifically to the OP who was worried his unit could stop working after a few months. It is possible that your unit is a pre-production one that was...

    Post Why is there so much hate towards the Shield ?

    Why so much hate towards the iPhone when it first got out? Because it is a new, largely misunderstood product and those who call it crap typically never touched it. The relevant thing about the SHIELD is that the vast majority of its owners seem to love it. The opinion of uninformed people...
