You're right and I'm Wrong
I turned back to Full Android Nougat 1.5
Oreo on Shield TV is garbage at solid state
Now everything is wonderful and fast like in the past.
I think that Google and Nvidia are trying to destroy Shield TV. Because a powerful device like Shield TV with a good full Android firmware inside can create problems to the economic interests of Google and of Nvidia.
Anyway despite i was forced to downgrade also the bootloader, i returned back.
Oreo really is the most negative firmware made by Nvidia and make the device unusable.
I explained everything in the previous posts of this thread.
Mainly very old source code of Oreo 8.0 full of bug not corrected, but corrected by Google with Oreo 8.1
TO DOWNGRADE I USED THIS PROCEDURE:
Download the stock Nvidia firmware 6.3
Download full Android Nougat 1.5
Create a folder and put inside system.img and vendor.img from full Android firmware and boot.img and blob from stock firmware.
Open command prompt, enter in the created directory and put the shield tv in fastboot mode with the microusb cable connected to PC
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot -w
To root, after the first start, get the original boot.img and patch with magisk manager that you can install on Shield TV.
Get the patched boot image and flash in the device.
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
To fix the bug that Magisk forget who apps have root on every restart:
Open the file /system/build.prop with a text editor
Add this line:
Delete the files:
Code: Select all
/data/adb/magisk.db
/data/adb/magisk.db-wal
Reboot.
A BIG FUCK OFF TO NVIDIA THAT WITH OREO TRIED TO NEUTRALIZE THE POWER OF SHIELD TV
I THINK ON PURPOSE
