*Hi Friends!* *Closed Captioning is now available!* My XDA Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-nvidia-shield-tv-pro-2021-custom-rom-jrom.4369707/ Today I want to show you how to root your Nvidia Shield, for development purposes, as well as for repairing a bricked system. I spent over 80 hours researching how exactly this works, and bricked my system over 30 times to try to figure out every way one could "brick" their system in the process of flash.. and succeeded.. so now you don't have to fail 29 times like I did. :-) I have created a toolkit that contains all the drivers, files, and some executable adb code I wrote from guides I read. I will credit all my sources as always in a seperate file, saved in the SHIELDROOT folder, as it is very, very many this time. It will also be posted on forums that allow such a massive data dump. Keep in mind this is for the "2019" version that I bought brand new the other week. For other versions, you would just need to replace the files in 00000-ShieldRoot.bat as well as edit the batch file. Hopefully after watching this video you will understand what I mean. If you prefer, I have attached a standalone ADB executable (powershell) that you can use to manually add the commands. Just right click the batch files, select edit, and you can copy and paste the commands one at time, for troubleshooting purposes. *DOWNLOAD SHIELDROOT:* https://drive.google.com/file/d/13pnW5eiO70b4JIvmbgqNRMhI5g1YHlzG/view?usp=sharing Alternative Download Site, MEGA (For if Google Drive is being wonky... Never had this much traffic on tools before...): https://mega.nz/file/oypjQChD#wjSfCChkLN6uLQtiEtHrnGbevCsU7pW7KODb9sEqzOQ *Step one:* Plug your usb hub into the port next to your hdmi. Plug a usb-c cable into the other port. You will need an Nvidia Controller, a USB Hub, Portable Drive. As well as a mouse and controller. *How to Boot into the bootloader:* Unplug the power cord from the Shield, then reapply it. Using your Nvidia Controller, hold A and B until the Bootloader shows. Select Unlock the bootloader. Select Factory Data Reset. Hit Reboot and remove the power cord, then unplug the usb from PC. Wait a few seconds then add the power cord to the Shield. Leave the USBC unplugged from your PC. Hold A and B to post back into the bootloader. *Setting up the Shield Drivers:* Open Device Manager on your PC. Plug the USBC cable into your PC. Right click on the new device and hit update driver. Browse Manually to Shield Drivers. Then hit, "let me pick from a list". Select I have a Disk. Then install the andriod.usb file. *Rooting the Shield, While Flashing a Custom, Fully Rooted System:* In SHIELDROOT, Run OEMUnlock. Unplug the USB-C From the PC and Reapply. (Must do to fix broke fastboot after unlock) Run ShieldRoot ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvtF0lgMOqA
