When it comes to rooting and flashing any device there are certain inherent risks involved. However i did everything i could to make sure it was safe. As long as the md5s match then the download was good and you should be good to go. I have used it on a few diff shields several diff times testing it as i was writing it.
Ok, but it seems like i need the "naked driver" to use it... but there is no exe in that zip or anything :S How exactly do i use it?
You have to use device manager to install the drivers I included a short writeup in the OP
I couldn't tell you to be honest, I would check the naked driver thread, if there's a video I'm betting it's linked there.Is there a video for how to "install" it?
Yeah its mentioned in the ram.exe im goimg to try and update it asap each time nvidia releases an update
Just a thought, but I personally prefer Koush's Superuser, as it is more modular and seems to have less issues between versions. Maybe you could add a function to choose either Chainfire's SuperSU, or Koush's Superuser. Not telling you how to do it, but I know that other toolkits I have used have had a similar function. Let me know what you think. Also, the ZIP for that is on the app's Google Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
Yeah thats not a problem and would be really easy to implement. Lately ive been really busy and havent had a lot of time to sit at my pc. But yeah i can put that in for the next release.
Please help, I can't flash the stock recovery back, well actually I can and I get a message saying that stock recovery has been flashed, but I can't seem to access the stock recovery. When I try to open the recovery it only shows a picture of the android mascot with a red triangle on it's chest. I want to flash the stock recovery so that I can download and install the Kit Kat OTA update that will be released tomorrow. Thanks in advance to any help

@OP, I assume you'll update your toolkit for the KitKat update?
Just to clarify, I don't see any menu or options on the stock recovery that I flashed just the android image that I described. I have to hold the Nvidia button to turn it off, Is that really normal?
EDIT: I figured it out
I needed to press the power button + home button again to make the options appear.

When accepting the update, the SHIELD reboots into recovery and then complains saying: Required device is "thor", but this device is "roth".
I received an option later saying "OTA failed because of root; unroot now?" I selected "No" because I remembered that rooting the SHIELD performs a factory reset. Is there any way to apply the update while preserving root?
Watch on my YouTube channel it works but it must to have a bootloader stock, to do a ota update after, download super su. Zip on chainfire website, run shield ram, install drivers adb&fastboot, unlock your bootloader, install cw and run it, install zip from sd card for super su. Zip, fix root, restart, enjoy
Debloat if you want
Fisrt boot on kitkat update wipe all and sd ext too after it s ok for if you want to move game data on your ext card...

Nb: if you don t have a root acess the recovery will be erased after each boot, when you will have flashed the super su on cw, the recovery will be ok.
Start on cw : switch on your shield and immediatly press home+NVIDIA +back, after
Press back for up to recovery and clic ok with NVIDIA, the shield reboot and you can to see the cw
