2015, 2017, & 2019 Nvidia Shield TV Firmware Repo & Source Code Repo
- Thread starter jenneh
- Start date
The source code repo for 8.2.3, 9.0.0, and 9.0.1 have been added. They are 12-13 GB each, zipped. This is just the downloaded repo code from Nvidia, it still needs to be "built" or "compiled". That will take another 40-50gb probably. When that is figured out the steps will be added to THIS COMMENT. For right now, just the code is provided in that comment, to dl the repo if you want to do it yourself. I found a good video series by alaskalinuxuser that is added in the notes below that comment that helps to shed some light on these things.

6Normal Users seeking only Backup Stock Copies should use the Stock Recovery Images Below. AI Upscaling Works.
Using the Developer Only Rooted (Full Read Write) Images will break AI upscaling
The main difference between a dev root and a stock root will be the apps available in the playstore. With the Dev Root, adb works as Root outside of the shell. With stock root, right now adb cannot work as root outside of the shell, only adb shell su works.
Stock root allows stock apps like Disney + to operate, whereas the Dev rooted images cannot (natively) download Disney + and other apps that check for things like user models vs userdebug, etc... See the links at the bottom of the post for Stock root, or use the Dev rooted firmware if you Need a userdebug firmware.Further information on what the mirrors are can be located here

Here's a way to install adb quickly using powershell and chocolatey.
Open powershell as admin and type:
Code:Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1')) choco install adb
That's it!To unlock your bootloader, enter the fastboot menu either by sending "adb reboot bootloader" or by pulling the power cord from your shield. Reattach the power cord.
Using either a wired Nvidia Shield Controller or a USB 3.0 keyboard, press and hold A+B until this screen comes up
Select Unlock Bootloader with your controller or keyboardDOWNLOAD (9M)
Attach a usb-c cable to your shield (use the port furthest from your hdmi cable) and connect the c end to your pc, then open device manager and right click on fastboot deviceShield Drivers.zip

Hi
I would say no.
AFAIK the provided zip files here are archives, not flashable packages.
So you would have to download the archive, extract and flash img files according to the procedure provided in the first post (using fastboot / USB debugging).
You can probably keep your current recovery if you don't flash recovery.img over it, but if I were you I would double check it will work with stock firmware. It has to be stock recovery or a compatible TWRP.2The dev rooted 8.2.3 has been reuploaded and the link in the op replaced. It was missing the dtbo file. I went ahead and added a modded boot image to it. Steps are the same as stock, install the dev image and you have to sign in, when it finishes installing reboot to bootloader and run bootmod.bat (this is patched with magisk delta. if you want magisk by topjohnwu change the code in bootmod.bat to bootmod1.img and use topjohnwu's apk instead of the one in the zip)
DEV-ROOTED 8.2.3
To fix the su binary error after installing the apk, you need to run this code8.2.3.zip
drive.google.com
Code:adb root adb disable-verity adb reboot adb root adb remount adb shell rm system/xbin/su
