First enable developer options on shield.
Install fastboot drivers and allow file ext on your pc.
extract twrp.zip into the adb folder and also put the magisk.zip in that folder also but dont extract it, and rename it what you want.
Make sure to allow pc and shield to talk to each other by adb.
Commands

2 adb reboot bootloader
3 fastboot devices install family drivers if not installed have disc option in adb interface.
4 fastboot devices again if drivers were installed device should show.
5 fastboot oem unlock shield wipes and reboots can time tame let it finish when finished if needed pull power cord but it should reboot.
6 rebooted and setup device and account.
7 setup developer options again like before. re-authorise shield and pc to talk.
8 plug-in mouse wired
