Hey everyone! I received a Shield Portable in a trade about 2 weeks ago and it was already rooted with CWM recovery. Well since there is a system update that I need to take, CWM wont let me take the update. What I am in need of is the easiest way to obtain and flash the stock recovery img. Any help will do. Thanks in advance!
No help?

What you are looking for is the stock recovery.img, but unfortunately I have not seen it anywhere.
If the update is in this thread >http://forum.xda-developers.com/nvidia-shield/general/shield-tablet-otas-t2847116
you can download it and may be able to flash it in CWM. I was able to do that with my LG G Pad GPE....
Thanks man. I'll check it out.

Hi, first of all thanks in advance to anyone who will try and solve my problem.
I unlocked my xoom using thi tread

and rooted it using this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019
after that I successfully opened and checked my phone. It was rooted with super user and everything.
I tried to enable the market for everthing so I used this tread for enabling market with replacing build.prop method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065698
As soon as I restarted the xoom couldnt get past the video introduction.
Now, I have tried getting into recovery and doing factory reset and everything but I cannot seem to get past the video..
I am genuinely scared if I bricked the tablet...
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank You in advance...

Hi Cozzeck,Can you possibly post a link for a guide to flashing back to stock? I don't want to mess it up further by doing something wrong.
And also, do you advice to try and root it again after fixing it?
Thank you, in advance...
I sent you a pm

Like you read up, you need to back to stock and do the procedure to root again.
Look for the stock image on the android development section, install it by clockwork recovery, and after get on stock do the procedure for root again.
If you have question u can PM me.
See ya!

I'm looking for the One click G2X recovery flasher, and the clockwork mod for the stock rom to flash it to root. I'm currently on the stock 2.3.3 from T-Mobile.
I'm not too sure if this is what you're wanting, but...
nvflash cwm. Then flash the rooted ota. No need for one click

Flash it in recovery by downoading the zip file
Hit the thanks button if i helped
i was in the same situation mate i was using twrp to flash a rom and it gave me nothing but trouble so the way i swiched to cmw was real easy, just download the cmw rom manager and run it and click install cmw recovery job done mate
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
No. Do not use ROM Manager to flash CWM. It will flash the recovery for the Transformer Prime. If you use it to flash anything, you could brick your tablet.
ok thanks for the warning mate ill go get it the proper way

I used SuperOneClick to root my LG Optimus 2X. It was nice and easy with help from the tutorials you can find on the web.
rootme.bat via recovery and adb
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda app-developers app
Used toolkits, both found here, for both of my devices: RAZR XT910 and Nexus 7. Worked flawlessly the first time.
I've rooted my Desire with the unrevoked/revolutionary guide here on xda forums, quite a while back ago. Used CWM recovery afterwards. Flawless process.
The One V was also rooted with the guide here on xda, the easy one with htcdev. Not the hard root. My friend didn't want the hard root so I followed his orders, since it was his phone. Also flawless.
Kernel
I flashed pre-rooted kernel

I used exynos abuse app on my note 2 and then installed twrp.

Hello there, noob here, just made the switch from iphone to Note 2 and I'm loving it. I was very familiar with the jailbreaking process of the iphone and now I'm trying to learn how to do the same with my Note2.
I see there are a lot of variants depending on the carrier so I did some research and finally found what I needed to root note 2 SGH-i317 (ATT), used Odin and CWM and everything went very smooth, now I have a rooted note2 confirmed with the root_checker app.
On problem though, when I try to get into TRWP recovery mode so I can install roms/kernells if I do the Volume_up + Home+ power, I only get a black screen. Can't get into it and don't know what to do. My phone works fine though.
Any suggestions?
Should I re-root? Is it possible?
thanks in advance

thanks henisod for the quick responses. I will do the re-flashing, the odd thing is that it all went well on the first try.
I'm trying to restore the ability to do OTA updates after I've rooted my device. I;ve tried unrooting but that doesn't solve the problem.
How does the OS check that you have rooted the device in the past? I don't have access to a stock rom (Yet) to check if a firmware flash might restore everything to normal.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist.
You need to be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Also preferably unrooted and without any system modifications like xposed and such. That's all you need to have to be able to get OTAs.

I am on stock rom, I also think that i'm on a stock recovery, since I never flashed the recovery. I used Kingo root to root the device, dont know if that flashed a custom recovery. I'm also not aware of any modifications.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/hisense-u800-infinity-h6-restore-ota-t3129478
Anyway, XDA Doesn't have a dedicated forum for that device, so either try and boot to recovery and see if it's stock or custom (custom probably is either CWM or TWRP or Philz), or try asking the same thing over at the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Thank you.
