And this is mine! :D

Videos will come in the future!

HAHA. I LOVE the disclaimer! "Unless your device starts shooting lasers. Then that's all me".

I seriously got a good laugh out of that!

to be fair

I realized I sounded a little snide.. that wasn't my intention... The red triangle goes away by itself once you unplug the cable.. not sure why but it isnt a brick. one thing I realized on the github solution is you have to put those rootmaster files in the file where you keep your adb files.. (it doesn't mention that) I should also mention that your 1 click did install a recovery as it was supposed to.. thanks again

It put the SuperSU zip in my download folder.



I saw that screen.. when I hit :"install" it went to red triangle...
I am guessing you are referring to the "Install" option in green text in wwjoshdew's 1st picture. Is that correct?


EDIT

In reality it should not matter IF the Shield is already in bootloader mode or not. the only thing it does by already being in android is make it a little easier for people by not needing to enter bootloader mode by hand. There are alot of good reason to know how to do just that. as far a writing a batch script to automate the process there are options that can be used to check if the device is in fastboot or booted to android. I don't have them memorized, and don't have time to look them up right now.

I adb push the file, so you have to be in Android.

IF you are referring to the supersu.zip it does even need to be on the device to be installed. You can also use "adb push" in recovery, the catch here is if the device you push to is not mounted when pushing the file, the file will not be useable after it is mounted.

That is what the command "adb sideload" is for.

From the CWM main menu you go to install zip>install zip from sideload.
the command would be written in a batch file like this assuming the zip will be in the same folder as the batch script. "adb sideload supersu.zip"

If you are talking about the recovery is a better idea IMO to flash that from recovery.

hmm... Never thought of that. I'll just stick with my method, IMO it is simpler and I have already plastered ALL OVER to start booted into android, thanks so much for the feedback!

If you have any other suggestions don't hesitate to let me know

hmmm never been accused of being a troll. i realize I should have never posted this. Just to be clear. I wasn't in bootloader when it happened.I was in android. I did step 4..(install su.) when it was finished I went into recovery to check and got the red triangle I stated that it reverted and restarted by itself and I just went and rooted via a different method.( github joshdew vid ) I tried to say that I didn't blame the Op or his 1 click... that I was posting just what happened to ME and that it probably wouldn't happen to anyone else. I even apologized if I was snide in my first post. I have had many smartphones and have never had an issue rooting. Shield was my only hiccup and I started all of this asking for help.
