Shield TV 2015 (full) OTA 5.02 zip file (NON-PRO) uploaded on MEGA

Shield TV 2015 (NON-PRO) Nougat update version 5.02 is live.
OTA is downloaded to the usual folder: /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/app_download
Filename: PUBLIC02360be7475c0283d8953276654991ff.zip
size: 1.03 GB (1,115,129,317 bytes)
https://mega.nz/#!1VoVSbrR!s4XbFCGF6QSilIL6TBHg-DBU1ogMgOwXVofELfLxBro

I wonder if we can expect this One to land on Launch Day? Which would/should be on 20170130.

@sammarbella
I think you have posted a wrong zip, first the size is not 1.03 gb and secondly it looks like is v5.0 instead 5.0.2

Thanks! Can anyone please post the flash instruction for this update?

Nothing wrong was posted.
It's the 5.02 (full) OTA zip file for Shield TV 2015 16 gb version, the posted size is once downloaded.
Copied from my Shield TV 2015 yesterday after it was downloaded by the OS software update service.
There is no such "5.0" for Shield TV 2015 16 gb version, the first one is this one: 5.02.

Ok, I'll check again later today, I've flashed it and I have checked the version and it was 5.0... maybe I didn't see properly

Who said that i already upgraded to Nougat?
I uploaded to MEGA the OTA file i got yesterday in my Shield TV 2015 16 GB but i didn't upgraded yet.
I'm not in a hurry to upgrade until i'm completely sure that i can update the old TWRP i have right now with the new hacked one and flash OTA and flash supersu from it without problems.
As i posted in my previous post a Nvidia rep made a sticky post announcing on Nvidia Geforce forums that the Shield TV 2015 (FINALLY) got the Nougat upgrade and labelled it 5.02 OTA upgrade and that upgrade is the one i posted.
This 5.02 OTA upgrade is pressumed to have the same fixes already added to 5.01 and 5.02 OTA fixes released for Shield TV 2017 version and therefore the proper number should be 5.02 and not 5.00 even on Shield TV 2015 16 GB.
If some Nvidia dev forgot to name the 2015 OTA properly as 5.02 (or 5.0.2) i can't help...
Hopefully for the Shield TV 2015 owners the Shield TV 2017 owners were the betatesters (5.00 and 5.01) and early adopters can skip 2 OTA versions bugs and get directly the 5.02 OTA version.

Great, many thanks!

So it is android 7.

I woke up this afternoon and i see this nice advice when i tried to watch some TV:
I checked then the downloaded OTA zip file and it's exactly the same name and size that i already uploaded to MEGA:
1,115,129,317 bytes
It's funny different file managers report the exact same size in bytes: 1,115,129,317 bytes but one (X-plore) say it's 1.04 GB and the other (Directory Opus) 1.03 GB:

I don't care if the installer says "5.0.2" and the about say "5.0" after install for my Shield TV 2015 IF we are getting the 5.01 and 5.02 bugfixes already added to Shield TV 2017 third Nougat OS version.

true ... actually the update is running fine so far , no problems founded , cheers pal !

Does anyone know if it's possible to flash this via Fastboot? I tried to downgrade a 2015 Shield TV from 5.0 to 3.3 to get DRM working again for the HDHomeRun Green app, and it won't boot now. I can get to the Fastboot menu but that's it. Of course Nvidia hasn't posted the 5.0 image for the 2015 Shield yet so I'm kind of stuck right now.

Is the 2017 firmware the same firmware that is used on the 2015 model?
My 2015 model is prompting me to update to firmware 5.02. Although mine is rooted so I don't think I can just let it update. Maybe I will just download the one from the original post. I don't see the 5.02 version available to download from their website.

You don't need the 5.0.(2) OS image if you want to downgrade to 3.3, simply flash the available 3.3.0 OS image.
Maybe you'll need the stock recovery flashed before but it's also available:

This is NOT the same firmware as 2017.
Don't try to flash this OTA file on a 2017 model it'll brick it.

It won't boot after flashing the full 3.3 image set ... that's why I wanted to try 5.0 .... perhaps something changed going from "M" to "N" ... and its preventing the downgrade. See others with the issue here:

[Unofficial] HTC U11+ TWRP Recovery

It have been about 2 years, I finally get a U11 plus to make TWRP device tree with working decrypt function.
Source: https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_htc_ocm
Please download latest TWRP build in following link.
[Android 8.0]
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_171001.img
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_171201.img
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_180601.img
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_180901.img
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_181001.img
twrp-3.3.1-0-ocm_181101.img
[Android 9.0]
PS. watch out the last 6 digits at the filename, it must equal to your system's android patch level. e.g. 2017-12-01 (Dec, 2017) = 171201, otherwise TWRP will not decrypt data partition.
PS2. U11+ already get Android Pie update, but this update will break data decrypt function in TWRP recovery.
@nkk71, thanks all the works you've done for us.

yay. now to get more dev support behind this!

excellent! Please, try to put up a github repo for it, if not already
Hopefully it works fine.
If HTC rolls out kernel sources, I might try some blind development, as I don't have the device, but wanna support it.

Should you need to unlock the official htcdev before they can put?

Yes, unlock then you can boot it.

Thanks for this! Going to try and get it up and running later today - Need to unlock the BL first.

Thanks for this however it doesn't seem to work for me. I've unlocked the bootloader, rebooted into bootloader mode via adb (adb reboot bootloader), tried to boot the twrp image (fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-2_unofficial-ocm_2.img) and all I get is a black screen even though the commands seem to work at first:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-2_unofficial-ocm_2.img

I didn't flash since I wanted to test it out before using the fastboot boot command recommended in the original post. However this does not seem to work. I wanted to get twrp running so I could use magisk for root

Went ahead and flashed it anyway and I'm happy to report that it worked and did not brick my device. So I still don't know why it won't let me fastboot boot but at least TWRP is now installed.

Be aware that you're now lacking the ability to ota update if you cannot get ahold of a stock recovery.
That's why booting only and making a backup of stock recovery boot and full system partition, is highly recommended.

I bought the right version of the stock rom I'm running from en.pars-hamrah.com. It's a slightly sketchy looking site and it cost me 9$ but it should allow me to go back to stock easily
I'll share it here if people are interested. It's version 1.05.400.13 which is the latest version for the Hong Kong version

Looks like you're building in android 7.1 for Oreo decrypt, won't work without the needed sepolicy changes and plat/non_plat contexts, please check the current gerrit updates for the standard HTC U11:
TWRP vold_decrypt patch: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/c/26652/
EDIT2: U11 Oreo decrypt device tree changes needed for a 7.1 build: https://gerrit.twrp.me/c/2756/
If you end up with decryption successful, but it doesn't actually mount /data, then you may even need an updated kernel https://gerrit.twrp.me/c/2761/
which is what we needed. EDIT: Obviously that's a U11 kernel update not a U11+ one, so don't try to use that kernel
Some things will still get changed. I also recommend you build in real DEBUG mode, the straces have much more info than a log or dmesg. by using TW_CRYPTO_SYSTEM_VOLD_DEBUG := true

There you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nkzK_wbSgC6HSlOsNqOc79f94p7v_3wz
That's version 1.05.400.13. I managed to decrypt it successfully using the latest RUU Decryption Tool on Windows. I have a decrypted boot.img and system.img but I haven't yet uploaded those to my drive.

Waiting for your Good news.

Billion Capture Plus

Billion Capture Plus
Flipkart phone with SD625
There's also a global version now for only 65€ that can be found via Chinese resellers which is a bargain.
According to 4pda the Bootloader seems unlocked since a user was alble to flash mido TWRP with no working touchscreen unfortunately.
The phone has been updated to Oreo with Camera2api enabled which makes Gcam ports work well
Unfortunately there no official downloadable firmware, unbrick guides or custom ROMs, which is surprising considering the great custom ROM community India has

Gcam with everything working except Slowmo:
*Works only on Android 7.1.2
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta20.apk

According to a user at 4pda forums mido TWRP can be flashed but there's no working touchscreen.
Since there's no way to find the Oreo update zip file we can't get the display driver yet

Be careful - unlocking the boot on this device leads to impossibility of OTA update to 8.1. (status 7 in recovery). Fought with this phone for almost a month, and no lucky chance to catch the update in "mid-air"(while it's being downloaded) or make the updater's apk to download the firmware in other place instead of data (owner: root). Still going for a vicious circle: we don't have root to pull the OTA update out of the phone to make a custom recovery... And we don't have TWRP to root it.
We didn't exactly flash mido TWRP, just booted it. Hardware buttons are working though, but again we don't have CWM.

I'm not Russian so I'm using Google translate to understand .
Should I upgrade to Oreo any downsides?
Can you upload the Google camera config files?
How can we make twrp work?
Isn't there any firmware dump tool for Qualcomm phones?
If we can get the stock boot.img we can have root without TWRP
Also has anyone tried flashing treble ROMs via fast boot?
Edit: Found this tutorial
What I wanna say is: Dumping the stock boot.img
Modify it with root via the Magisk app
Flash the modified boot.img in fast boot in order to have root

Interesting tutorial, but the program in video saves files in unknown format. What do we do with them after we got dump?
1. Oreo update contains one little bug - it slightly interrupts the touchscreen's work. No noticeable in everyday usage, but still having its place. Can't attach the example 'çause I'm newbie here.
2. The only way to build up the TWRP is to get kernel source of stock rom (boot.img). The problem is that we can't pull it out of device - this partition is hidden under "root" privileges.
3. You can dump anything with ADB, but there is no way you see the most important partitions like data, system, boot, recovery and so on.
4. Nope, see second line;
5. No, because the chance to catch a brick (to get an empty device which won't load the system/recovery/adb/fastboot) is too high.

Any Custom Recovery for Billion Capture Plus??
Is there any working Custom Recovery available for Billion Capture Plus (4GB+64GB model). I have tried some available recovery from TWRP and OrangeFox and it stuck in Boot screen where it just show "Billion logo and powered by Android". In this mode if I connect to my PC and using fastboot I can still access mobile and whatever I try to flash it is not working.
Any help in getting Custom Recovery or Original Bootloader so that I can use my mobile will be helpful for me.

final version or rc?

Has anyone else attempted this flash? I got it booted after a fresh partition wipe, bc yesterday, the launcher kept crashing, however, even today it continues to crash. I can play around in settings and i'm sure a custom launcher would work fine, however I had someone who wanted to see the stock version early and this is erm, not quite right haa...
and what i mean by crash is it intermittently flashes black and then back into the launcher. no discernable pattern or guess as to why. going to continue to toy with it and try to update it...
---edit i jumped the gun, i think those flashes were updates
----so after flashing the system over, wait for the shield to post into the chromecast screensaver, dont mess with it, then it will be fine

I think My main question would Be, and forgive me, because I'm learning as I go, While Running Stock, are you able to post into TWRP, after unlocking the bootloader?
Like, through fastboot, theoretically you shouldn't have to install the developer images as i did in my examples,,, but if you could get TWRP recovery to post, while in stock, with a momentarily unlocked bootloader, you should be able to run the OEM unlock code, then flash the staging blob, as well as the new images...
i do not mean to disrespect NVIDIA... but if you read their flash codes...
you can tell their devs are much more proficient on linux,
which is a great trait~! but it doesnt translate well for windoz userz...

Does anyone know if it is possible to update to consumer release via OTA after flashing this developer release?
I'd like to install this developer release on my girlfriend's Shield TV 2017 now and once Nvidia releases the consumer release, would she be able to update it via OTA? She is not technically proficient to update it to the consumer release by herself using fastboot and ADB.

Shield Experience 9.0.0 is working perfectly. I don't know why USB devices take forever to load files on Android 11 and crashes MX Player? Anyone else having the same issue? It's a developmental image so having these bugs occur is what happens. Anyways I reverted back to 8.2.3 and my issue is now resolved

Seems like this new update does not like Magisk.

NEVER MIND I LIED.
I tried to do the known working procedure from memory and missed a step, the method still works. Got latest update with root running row. Shame I had to do a factory reset while trying to figure things out but small sacrifices...

Thank you for sharing your experience, I have some issue... to prevent fragment external HDD I prefer ext4 fs and unfortunately the nvidia roms doesnt support at this time! So I install microg magisk module on LineageOS 17 but I encountered black screen! also I install official microG release: https://download.lineage.microg.org/mdarcy/lineage-17.1-20220110-microG-mdarcy.zip but I encountered black screen too!

I still only see the 8.2.3 recovery listed on the Nvidia website. I didn't sign in as a developer though. Where did you get version 9.0.0?

It has been officially released. If you're not signed up as a developer or if the developer site doesn't work for you like it didn't for me, then your best bet is to lock bootloader (if it's unlocked), check for updates and then install the updates, then unlock the bootloader and add any/all of your modifications back.

Had issues bypassing Google login so jumped on the Lineage bandwagon. Is there anything worthwhile in 9.0 over 8.2.3?

You would then Flash as Normal any images, Custom apps, Launcher etc to your system. Build your Rom with stuff you like.
MAKE SURE TO LOG OUT OF ALL ACCOUNTS ON THE DEVICE BEFORE SHARING OR SAVING ANYWHERE~!
The best way to protect yourself is to never login to any ROM you plan to share OR store for personal use on the Cloud or even on hardware... Learn how to flash your apps in the build process.....
When your build is complete, open TWRP and save your file.

Hey how can I Flash the img file to my Nvidia Shield Tv 2019 PRO?

You would run the erase all partitions batch file, then run the recovery batch file, the recovery file flashes the partitions over for you. I have not tested these yet, these are the stock images provided from nvidia, and well, their quality control is questionable to me as far as maintaining their drivers and providing all the partitions needed

So I just do the same step as in your root tutorial but I run those 2 instead?

Correct, so, just go into fastboot mode on the shield like at the very beginning, then you should be able to run the wipe first to remove the root, then recovery.bat, if you have any trouble, you can right click the batch file, select "edit" then you can see the code used. So you could type cmd into the Recovery folder's toolbar to open a command prompt there and paste individually to see if it fails anywhere. I included the code to relock the bootloader if anyone needs it for refurb or return purposes

But how do I run a img file like the TWRP 3.60 img file? And the reason why I want to remove the root is because my Bluetooth headphones connected to the TV makes YouTube and Disney Plus don't want to load YouTube only buffering and like the same thing with Diseny Plus

you would run the command: fastboot boot the.img file name
so if it was twrp.img
type fastboot boot twrp.img and it will boot in team win

I don't know how to run a command sorry for that

This is one other problem I got after root

It does that to me when I remove and readd the hdmi. But yeah, the original method I taught people used lineage and that image is old, they do nightlies. I think using the rooted stock image would be better but again the stupid drivers are limiting me :/
Very Nice setup BTW

Yea is my parents tv in the living room my dad fixed the setup

So if I use the Android 11 Stock Root files and try again?

If you would like to keep your root, I would advise giving those files a try. NVIDIA just updated them like 3 or 4 days ago, so they may actually work correctly this time, and just skip the TWRP this time, I put NVIDIA's recovery and boot image in there that should supposedly be rooted already, meaning when you flash, reboot, then run the system, in theory, you should have your shield back to stock, except now you should be able to install magisk without trouble by whatever method you choose

And have you have the same problem with Bluetooth headphones connected to the device if you have tried?

Jacob Lundin said:

I haven't tried, but I would imagine the complications come from the method we used to root last time. Last time we used twrp to flash a new operating system. So instead of Using Android 11 like NVIDIA does stock, we used Lineage OS, which does not have the same apps, build.prop, etc as those that come with NVIDIA'S Android OS. So, if NVIDIA did Their job in properly sharing these rooted images, then yes your bluetooth should work as it did originally and that should also fix the AI Upscaling issue for those who asked about that in the past

So this time, you should only have to wipe, then flash the files, no TWRP is required

So all I need to do is to have root on a stock OS the Android 11 file and I basically can install root apps? And try the problems again? And how do I check for root then with Android 11?

For this model of shield, yes, all you gotta do is use the "dev rooted" stock images from nvidia, the ones I included in the Android 11 Root Stock Image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BxehjouEO0vw1EhMv5QN8k8nKEy63TI-/view?usp=sharing
The easiest way to check for root is with an app that requires it. For instance I use an app called "root explorer" and it will tell you whether or not you are rooted usually on boot.

How do I Flash the Stock Image? I understand how I do EraseAllPartition and Recovery bat but I'm not that good with flash image from computer with fastest and I should pick EraseAllPartition first? And should I uninstall the Android Bootloader interface?
