Hello,
so I just got my Shield in the mail today and so far ... haven't done anything with it. I want to use RAM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661067&page=9). This tool looks awesome and the developers apparently put a lot of effort into it. However, I am not a 100% sure what I should do next.
1. If I understood correctly, it also works with 4.4.2? My Shield is already at that version.
2. If not, I downloaded the 4.2.2 image from Nvidia Dev program. Are there any advantages to downgrade except for being able to use RAM?
3. Does streaming of steam games still work with 4.2.2? (My reason to buy the Shield )
Thanks in advance for any help!

latest ota
Am i missing something when it comes to staying on 68? Im on the latest ota and ive never had a problem with anything...
I use Sd Maid/unlocker and Fstrim premium of course so my android experience is a little quicker and smoother than others....
But ive never had an emulator crash, never had streaming crash, never had bad streaming, never had youtube jumps...whats the sole purpose of staying downgraded? Haha i had to have missed something...

Hello everyone. I just wanted to check to make sure im getting a good deal here. Someone is on their way to me with a 32gb tf300 with dock, car charger, and boxes in supposedly near perfect shape. Is $280 usd still a good deal for a 32gb version? They will be here in an hour so any quick feedback is appreciated
Also, I know the screen isnt as good as the tf201 which I previously owned, but ill primarily be using it indoors to watch netflix on rather than my note 2. Im going to guess its more than fine for that purpose right? Ill likely be NRGizing it

Oh well. Bought it anyway. I'm surprised no one chimed in though. Seems like 280 to my door delivered was good enough. Just unlocked the BL / flashed twrp / and am running NRG on it

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt sure how much the 16 and 32gb are going for Looks like I did get a deal indeed as mine is the 32Gb model ! Right now im running NRG's rom though. It was fully updated to 4.2 when I got it but luckily I found the TWRP specific to it that worked. I may take the time today and downgrade it though. Im not sure if its the BL or what but this thing is terribly laggy. It was worse with Cromix than with nrg's. Ive read everywhere that people recommend doing the fastboot downgrade to 4.1 ( to get 4.1's bootloader i assume ).
Thanks all for your input

When i buy any electronic device on craigslist, i use the manufacturer's method for wiping it completely clean and starting over. For you, that would be factory reset from TWRP (include wiping internal sdcard) fastboot the latest official blob file from asus, flash TWRP and then install the ROM of choice. You never know what the other guy did with/to it :/

/agree.
Already done my friend When I first got it, it was bone stock but fully updated to 4.2. Stock worked smooth but Cromi and NRG seemed to jitter / hiccup when i FINALLY got twrp working. Im thinking it had something to do with the bootloader and rom combo. I just used FB and went to 4.1 and installed TWRP 2.4.4.0 as that seems to be the combination that works well. Im currently downloading Cromi again to give it another go. What kernel are you using ?
Right now im sitting on stock 4.1.1 build 10.4.2.20 with TWRP 2.4.4.0

Im running the Stock moddified 10.6.1.15.3 kernel on my own ROM. Granted there is SOME jitteryness, but in all honesty, it more than likely is the app. Facebook especially, it tries performing background tasks to update your news feed, and im not sure whats with them but they fail to use the dual core and higher of the device. 99 percent of the devices are dual core or higher, i find facebook to only wanna use the main core -.- causing the most amount of lag.

I think for now I will use stock rooted 4.1.1 with Unters Kernel. It seems to run pretty smooth. Much better than any other alternatives ive tried so far. Why did Asus have to make things difficult >.> Roms specific to bootloaders..... ugh

True enough..... twas the same with my tf201 if I remember correctly ( or tf101...... i forget LOL ). Anyway, Im glad I picked this thing up. Its not as bright as my TF201 ( obviously ), but the wifi is a million times better and thats after I soldered stronger antenna to the board >.> I damn near made an external mod on it but decided to dump it instead. The note 2 has been amazing
Had no idea they were still trying with this device and updating it. I assumed they gave up and tried something else.

No it's a very good device and all the dock issues are now resolved
It's what the TF700 should have been.
It would be great for all of us who can't unlock if the TF700 would get this update.

I would say the TF700 has 0% chance of any further updates. It's been almost 1 year since the last one - August 2013.
If the 701 gets the L update, will that help devs porting it to the 700? As in help with making the dock work etc?

Me too, devs can do much more optimizations and slim things down. Asus just provides some hardware/backend updates that might help.
Just received Jan Security update here in the UK, for those interested?
Small package this time. Around 53mb

Yes
The existenz thread contains the needed firmware version
And exactly this need to get flashed
.672 has no working twrp atm
but the previous firmware has
So if existence may want the .672, then you may need to wait for the next twrp update
anyone have firmware xz2dual H8266 52.1.A.0.618 ftf zip or tar.gz

Since it was published as an OTA, i would advise you to stay calm for now. Sometimes excitement kills you at the end of the day. That's what i experienced before. Being so excited with the update, am I'm busted with bugs and bloatware like hell. While others who running the patch & installed after few weeks gap from mine is having a good life afterwards.

Lol. Yes. I know how does it feels if we are receiving an update once in a blue moon from an ignorance support team. I was using RM 6pro previously, and just received only four updates for whole 1 year i am using it. I feel you bro.
Yeah I have the 6spro as well..I finally have seen the download for the V3.17 on redmagic website but when I click to download it takes me to a page that says No Such Key and stuff
The only problem I have is when playing PUBG I will get kicked out to my home screen..weird
