Stock Recovery Images and OTA Library w/ Guides

[MidgetMob]

I'd like to start off by thanking the XDA community for getting me started on the path to organizing these files. I noticed that there are a lot of posts scattered here and there with OTA downloads, sideloading, stock recovery images, and the like so I figured I'd attempt to start an all-in-one thread. The goal is to group together anything that is stock (meaning 'from Nvidia'), basic rooting/TWRP, and guides for the mentioned topics. I will gladly maintain this thread as long as there is interest in it, however I will appreciate any feedback. I am, after all, an XDA noob.

I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your tablet while following these steps. If you brick your tablet, cause it to explode, or your tablet simply decides that you're not worthy of it anymore and runs off to France to be with its mistress, that's on you.

Thanks to @stanglx for their contribution to the Driver Installation guide.

[stanglx]

Thanks! Wish you made this thread 2 days ago!!! I went crazy finding some of these...

Some suggestions to add based on my journey.. I have added rough instructions which need to be cleaned up.

A. I didnt know to get into the stock android recovery. I went crazy thinking my stock recovery was corrupt.. I reloaded, etc. etc. I finally found someone who set me straight.

Boot into the Boot Loader - Turn unit off. Hold down the down volume then power button.
Boot into the Nvidia Recovery - While in the boot loader select Recovery Mode. When at the "No Command" screen hold Volume Up and Tap Power.

B. I had major issues getting ADB to work when in CWM, Nvidia Recovery or PhilZ. but fastboot worked fine while in the bootloader. ADB worked fine while booted in the OS. Just didnt work while in recovery mode (trying to sideload an image).

Load Nvidia Drivers. There are two drivers that need to load with a single install base. A bootloader driver that is used for Fastboot and the ADB Composite Driver used for ADB while in recovery OR Android OS.

To install the driver:
1. Enable Developer Mode on the tablet - Go into About and Tap the Last selection 10 times.
2. Go Into Developer Mode and enable "Usb Debugging"
3. Plug the shield tablet into a USB 2.0 port
4. Go into device manager
5 Identify the device with an ! next to it. It should say shield tablet OR just a device id
6 Right mouse click and click update driver software. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
7. At the "Browse my computer for driver software" screen click Browse. Navigate to the driver folder (which you extracted from a zip) and allow the driver to load.

To Fix ADB in Recovery or Fastboot driver issues, ADB must first be working while in the Android OS - see above.
(Generally the Nvidia method will work for fastboot and for ADB while in android OS - but some times ADB fails to be recognized while in recovery) -

Fastboot:
1. While connected to the PC Boot the tablet into the boot loader. Go into FastBoot Protocol.
2. Type the command fastboot devices - if your device lists, its working. If not stay in the boot loader and goto Alternate Driver Load Method below.

ADB:
1. While connected to the PC Boot the tablet into the recovery (CWM, Philz, Nvidia). To boot into recovery see instructions above.
2. While in the recovery navigate to ADB side load for ZIP function and go into that function. The tablet should read waiting for command, or sideload zip, etc. Each recovery is slightly different but similar statement will be made.
3. Now that the tablet is waiting for an ADB command follow Alternate Driver Load Method:

Alternate Driver Load Method:
4. Go into windows device manager. Identify the device with an ! next to it. It should say shield tablet OR just a device id
5. Right mouse click and click update driver software. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
6. At the "Browse my computer for driver software" screen click Browse. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
10. UNCHECK "Show Compatible Hardware".
11. Under Manufacturer find and select the category Android. Under Model select ADB Composite Driver (while in Recovery) OR Fastboot Driver (while in the bootloader).
Profit

Thank you both for this! I've been going mad trying to update mine.

 

[DFA1]

This does not work for me, every time I try it, it reboots to my previous rom, the PACMAN rom....

anyone know how to get by this?

**EDIT** SOLVED
For some reason I was losing my CWM recovery and would get "no command" error when attempting to go to recovery. I reloaded CWM back in, then using adb I skipped the first step "flash recovery.img" I skipped that and just did the rest. In between each I selected fastboot protocol . Unplugged the devices, then rebooted and finally I'm back to 1.2.1

 

[stanglx]

Yes... this is a known issue with CWM - and it doesnt happen all the time either - which makes no sense to me, and why I have not bothered with CWM recovery partition. I will just flash boot into CWM when I need it. I never need it when I am not hope in front of my PC.

PS - the no command is the first step to getting into the Nvidia recovery.

Glad you got it worked out... Your method was exactly the same way I was able to successfully use CWM to flash a new rom.

Thank you, and an FYI, the above item is corrupt on mega as only 571 MB instead of 701MB (fails archive test).

If you're on the latest build why would you flash any updates? Unless of course you're simply talking about flashing them after downgrading your android version, in which case yes you can do that.

This does not work for me, every time I try it, it reboots to my previous rom, the PACMAN rom....

By flashing the stock recovery.img you were overwriting CWM as CWM replaces recovery.img. By skipping the step to flash the stock recovery.img you combined both restoring a factory image and adding in CWM. Generally you'd just flash the CWM recovery.img right after flashing the stock recovery package.

Thanks for letting me know, must have been a corrupted download. The link has been updated to the 701MB OTA.


The 2.1 recovery images should be up within the next few hours. 2.1 images are up.

Google Drive links updated. No need to request access anymore.

 

[Kenman345]

Might be slightly off topic or the wrong area, but does anyone have a stock Shield Emulator Skin for Android Studio? I cannot find anyone/anywhere that has made it and I am still rather new to development and so I do not know myself how to make it properly

 

[MidgetMob]

2.1 and 2.2 recovery images as well as the 2.1, 2.2, and 2.2.1 OTAs have been added. Enjoy!

 

[shangrila500]

So I am having an issue with SuperSU that I have never had before and for the life of me I cannot figure out what is going on. I restored my device using the 2.2 restore zip, everything went perfectly thanks to the instructions, and updated to 2.2.1. Once on 2.2.1 I flashed TWRP and used it to flash SuperSU.

The issue is though no matter what I cannot gain root access. Everything I flash the SU zip and reboot I start the app and it tells me there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install one. I have tried different recoveries and no matter what I still have this issue.

Can anyone give me an idea of what is going on?


Edit:
So apparently I was using v1.94 and it was installing an outdated binary that could not be updated in app. I am such an idiot.

I did the same thing. For some reason the SuperSU website has v1.94 listed and not v2.40. The latter seems to work just fine, as you noticed, and I find it odd that the site doesn't list it anymore.

Glad you figured it out though.

2.2.1 recovery images added.

I also have removed all v1, v1.1, and v1.2 recovery images as they do not seem to be popular. Feel free to PM me if you need a link for any of the removed recovery images.
