[Q] What should Shield portable noobs do?

[BlackBradPitt]

I imagine there are a good number of people like me that have received a Shield over the holidays. Was wondering if anyone could give some tips or advice on what to do first when using the device. For example, should we not update if we would like to root, install custom recovery, etc? I have yet to even power mine on just because i want to be sure I can root mine. Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Was considering purchasing the shield myself recently but there doesn't seem much of a community or development for this device which is a great shame. Would be great to see some mods and custom roms for it

The Nvidia Grid is pretty sweet and works well. At least for me so far. Plus its free til June of next year. If you can get a shield portable for a good price, i think it makes it worth it. Got mine for $130 at Frys Electronics. Had them price match Gamestop.
