Hi, everybody, I am having problems with my nvidia shield tablet, it seems that after I had updated to android 6.0 I lost my custom recovery, and the original recovery is not there. Therefore I cannot update to 6.0.1, i cannot root, and my computer does not recognize the tablet when i go into the bootloader. Please help!

New shield controller question
After using my shield controller for a reasonable time, I would at least expect the Shield Controller app on my shield tablet to say the battery of the controller is around 60-70%. It only ever says Battery: Full.
How is battery life displayed, will it just suddenly start showing something like Battery: Low, or should it display a %?
I believe the controller to be working fine other than this, and I think the firmware update went fine. I am on version version is v1.95/98/3.71/0.32

Nvidia Shield Portable Update 110 - Does Anyone Have Full Download Link
Hey Guys -
Along with my Shield tablet, I own a Shield portable which is currently on Update 106, is rooted, and uses TWRP. Update 110 obviously came out about a week ago as well as a new update for the Shield Tablet. The only way I know to install it on a rooted device without loosing data is to install the Full version via TWRP. I've downloaded the one for the tablet, and plan to install, but cannot yet find the one for the Portable.
Does anyone happen to have a link to the Portable's Full Update 110? Thanks!

Helium Premium on Shield TV?
I bought Helium Premium for backups to Google Drive from my Shield Tablet and it worked great.
But I just got a Shield TV and while the "standard" version is available for download. The Premium version is not. I also tried to "restore license" through the same email on my Google Play account and it doesn't recognize it.
This is really annoying because I'd like to be able to play all of my controller supported games on my new Shield TV but cannot transfer any of my game saves.
Anyone know if it's possible to get Helium Premium to work on it? I contacted the dev a few days ago but have not received a response. So I'm at a standstill.
I also do not want to root so that eliminates other methods.

Original shield tablet - Recent update has killed my right speaker?
Hi
I have the original shield tablet running 6.0.1 build number MRA58K.40827_726.6502 software version 4.2(24.3.68.8). I recently updated the software and for some reason the right (or bottom) speaker no longer works (headphones work tho). This tablet is like new, pristine condition and was sent out as a replacement as the old one was a fire hazard, so a bit gutted. I noticed in the recent change list there was something about sound, so I am hoping its software related. Any ideas if its possible for me to roll back the software without having to wipe the tablet? Thanks

[NVIDIA SHIELD] HDMI not detected when connected to Sony Android TV
Hello.
I have NVIDIA SHIELD K1 tablet and Sony KD-55S8505C TV (with Android TV on-board). I wanted to play some games within streaming feature. It works fine, but the problem is when I want to use HDMI to display the image on my TV. Once I connect the HDMI-miniHDMI cable, nothing happens... I tried to manually change the display mode to console, but I'm getting a message that HDMI is not connected.
After this I tried the HDMI with other TV and it works correctly. But my Sony is a new one, all HDMIs work fine (I tried them with Blu-ray player and my laptop).
I also tried restarting my tablet and TV many times (I found out it helps sometimes for ppl).
Is there any other thing I can check? No idea what to do.

Shield won't connect to network storage, won't auto mount or manually connect
I have an Archer C7 wireless router with a USB hard drive connected to it that contains all my media. I have two linux boxes and two Windows machines that can see the share (\192.168.xxx.xxx\volume1), but the nVidia Shield TV won't see it automatically OR let me enter the address manually. KODI and SPMC both surf to and find the share and media folders therein without problem, but the Shield will not natively see it.
When I try to enter it manually, it says "CONNECTION FAILED - null is not available". I don't know what it says by null except that it can't tell anything is there at all.
The only thing I can think of is that, in Linux, I have to use "sec=ntlm" to change the dedault security in the cifs/samba command in file /etc/fstab to get it to mount, but I can't set something like that in the Shield. Even if I remove authentication altogether, the Shield still doesn't recognize the share or even the 192.168.xxx.xxx address at all. They're on the same network. I should also mention that I can connect to the share from my Android phone, so I don't think it's something with the OS. Maybe...
At this point, I'm at a total loss to get this share connected to the SHIELD.
Any ideas?

Vudu for Shield TV APK on Fire TV?
Anybody try side loading the APK for the new "Vudu for Shield TV" app on the Fire TV? I am curious if it would work as Vudu is the only major app I am missing from Fire TV. I don't have a Shield to pull the APK from and test.

Shield Tab HDMI issue
When ever i connect my Shield Tab to my 24'' TV (60.96cm) 1366x768 there seems to be some resolution issue. If I use mirror mode I get black bars on both sides (left and right). If I use console mode, the screen expands beyond my TV's resolution.
How do i set the tab up properly so that the aspect ratio matches that of my TV's.

Moto x shatter shield

PCSX2 on Linux on the Shield. Has this been done?
I'm probably better off testing this myself, but I just needed to ask. Got the idea after seeing the razer edge pro run PCSX2 at full speed. Been thinking of rooting to install Linuxonandroid and then trying to run PCSX2 on that but I think the Shield Tablet might not have enough vram to run it full speed. It's kind of a stretch, so i was also wondering if i managed to install Linux natively on something more powerful like Tegra X1 Shield TV might do the trick. I'm posting this on the Shield Tablet forum because that's what I have to work with for now so a solution for this would be most appreciated, but any insight on running a PS2 emulator properly on an originally-Android device would be greatly appreciated.
