can someone send the stock recovery image for the 16gb wifi version please? cwm is not letting me flash at all for some reason. got my tablet working (not on loop anymore), but wifi stops working every 3 minutes or so (even though it says its still connected). anybody run into this problem ? at any rate hoping to flash via original recovery to the latest update... any help appreciated.

I have not seen the stock recovery.img posted anywhere. But you can flash the OTAs via CWM. Go to post #20 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...ery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064/page2

Here is the stock recovery, extracted from link in this thread >http://forum.xda-developers.com/nvidia-shield/general/shield-tablet-source-factory-t2840406

Note that I haven't tested it. Try it at your own risk. Fastboot flash....

Edit: tested and found not working. Removed.

Use a web browser instead of the XDA app. When you create or reply to a message, you will see several "buttons" at the top. One of them is a paperclip icon. Click on that one to attach a file.

just register as a developer, no strings attached, just create an account and you can download all os recovery images

i moved up all the way to 2.2.1, then reinstalled 1.2.1 because i wasn't liking lollipop
also unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM and rooted

now i want to try the BitO kernel, which is only available to 2.2.1, so installed the 2.1 update (through CWM, as i forgot to flash the stock recovery for 1.2.1)

now i try to install 2.2, but recovery gives me an error :(
flashed CWM again, doesn't want to flash the OTA
flashed the 2.1 stock recovery, it starts the update but almost immediately gives me an error :(

yes i could flash the 2.2.1 OS recovery image, but then i would lose all my data....

EDIT: never mind, fixed it, flash boot.img, recovery.img, erased system, flashed system img, all from 2.1 update zip file, reboot, now 2.2 is installing through OTA :)

Just curious, what was it about 2.2.1 that you didn't like? What was wrong with lolipop?

i prefered the way the notification pulldown worked in KK, some settings were quicker to reach

not too fond of the navigation buttons either
it's weird i know, they're in the same location, have the same function, but they just look wrong
look too much like the symbols on a Playstation controller :)

and GameGuardian doesn't work on Lollipop (yet), but by going back to KK i managed to fix what i wanted to fix :)

i hope nvidia gets it right this time with the 5.1 update, disabling swap would be nice

hmm, seems lag isn't gone at all...

was playing a bit of Sky Force 2014 yesterday, holy crap the lag

also noticed other apps were lagging
sure hope 5.1 will fix this
