on htc devices you can put them on the sd card with a specific filename and then restore the images right off the sd ... is this also the case for the shield?

Not that I am aware of, but I'm not on the bootloader/bootrom teams.

Only thing I don't like about the recovery images, is that they require you to unlock your bootloader to flash the images. Then you get the red "unlocked bootloader, warranty void" sign that doesn't go away.

If you don't unlock your bootloader, you will never need to install the recovery images since your system images cannot be modified in the first place. Recovery images are only relevant for people who already unlocked their bootloader.

Right, I get that. But for someone like me, where a normal factory reset didn't fix my issue, I went to the recovery images to put it back to 100% stock. Now I have the warranty void text, when I was just trying to troubleshoot.

I can upload the files as I already extracted them. The original OP is away from computers at the moment so I was just gonna wait until he gets back as its his thread. =)

If anyone is wondering why the extraction issue is because its needs to be uncompressed in linux where a GUI for licenses accept. If you have urgent need for the files I can post them.

Can you post the file that you have already extracted it because i have no idea how to extracted the .sh file in window.

Thanks

There's some kind of agreement you have to consent to when running the shell script. Not sure how legal that would be to circumvent that.

Correct which is why I thought the approval of the OP would be useful before posting.

If anyone needs them download the zip and run a virtual ubuntu the unzip command shows "I ACCEPT" prompt and then unpacks. Maybe there is a windows equal but didnt look.

The only thing I can think of for windows (outside of a virtual machine), is cygwin.

I have no idea about the legality of extracting the files and then sharing them. But then again, you're also talking to a guy who goes ahead and uploads the binary blobs for HTC devices. So I'm probably the wrong guy to ask.

Anyway, the system images there are old. I'm trying to get my hands on the original shipping image, since it has the best dashboard (IMHO). Combined with a little know-how, I want to put the original dashboard on the latest OTA, all without breaking support for future OTAs.

Please Help!

I was messing around rooting my Shield, following a couple of guides, and some how i got to the point where when i start up my shield it says "Nvidia SHIELD Services has stopped" this happened when i flashed the OP boot, recovery, and system img's to my shield using fastboot. any suggestions on how to fix this?
i mean its not like the device is in operable, however the entire SHIELD usage (pc stream, tegra store, and tegra games) wont open and gives me stated error.

Nicely done!!! Probably need to factory reset, but before you do that, a logcat would be great! Love to see how we're crashing... And I can probably give you a few simple commands to fix it without a whole factory reset.

Actually, its all good now, because that was exactly what needed to be done. Unfortuately no logs, it was just a noob mistake of forgetting to factory reset.

?? If you're completely bricked, you need to use fastboot to flash the recovery, boot, and system images. You can download the latest and greatest from NVIDIA directory (developer.nvidia.com), my uploaded images are stale. I don't even know which android-.txt file you're referring to.

Hello, just saw this today and thought it would be good update for the first post.

The factory images were posted in whole on Nvidia's developer page

Factory Image: http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ct-nv-recovery-image-shield-8857_194.5436.zip

Source: https://developer.nvidia.com/develop4shield#OSR

I've had so much fun learning all of this. Today was the first day I got the Android SDK working in Ubuntu.

That video is showing the .sh extraction process in Ubuntu, if anyone doesn't know how to get the 10 files out of the package.

UPDATE: I'm an idiot. Jonny's MD5's were the same as mine. haha

EDIT: There is a newer .sh package based off of the update. Here is what I got from it! @1wayjonny @agrabren

This is what happens when i try to sideload anything off ADB. in recovery, after verifying update package... it says installation aborted everything i try results in that

i even tried doing kwonggers restore tool through fastboot and it sends file but after that it just goes to recovery.

 

[XLordDeimosX]

ok, i was able to recover it using oudhs recovery adb sideload, and having my sd card out of the shield, i flashed via adb sideload the ShieldTweaker ROM and that seemed to do the trick, maybe in between all the custom kernels i flashed by accident i messed up the partitions or what do you think?

Can anyone re-host the broken links from the OP? I run windows and can't run the sh bash script

Thanks!
