So my Nvidia Shield is in route after a much anticipated wait to finally having some extra funds to purchase one. I recall a while back with the most esteemed certainty when I check on the Nvidia shield tab of my Geforce experience was that the card was compatible with my ASUS G75VW laptop. When I updated my drivers today I looked at the shield tab and it said my PC is not ready for streaming to the shield... Evidently by some genius gesture, nvidia decided to make the card below mine (GTX 660M) and the card above mine (GTX 680M) compatible, yet mine the GTX 670M is not. . . Are there any workarounds to this that I may not be aware of or am I just SOL because of Nvidia's genius?
I was actually sent here from the nvidia forums where an actually moderator mentioned there may be some workaround here. I assume there is a way to bypass it but I am unfamiliar with this so called "rooting" process and if there is a guide some where where I can get this thing working I would really much appreciate it xD.

First install any updates for Apps as well as the Shields Firmware if you have not already.
THEN
Download the App in the above link, make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the "Security" section of the "Settings" App, otherwise it won't install, then just tap it in the notification centre or in a file manager, install, open, click "Make It Ra1n", wait for it to finish, wait an additional 20 seconds, then reboot. You'll have Root Access (but NOT an Unlocked Bootloader or a Custom Recovery, so NOTHING WILL BE DELETED!)
If that does not work try downgrading your graphics cards driver, it might have a bug if it worked before.
DISCLAIMER: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BUT THAT IS STILL VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!!!!

Also according to the first post in the topic below, laptop GPU's can't officially stream and nobody can seem to get it to work.

The above says streaming with a mobile GPU works if you have at least GeForce Experience 2.0 installed on your computer. It also says that sometimes streaming does not work and that a reboot of the computer is needed.

Thanks for all the great info, but what exactly does that file do for my shield as far as the purpose of "Rooting" it?

Hey guys, I'm unrooted and as such my internal memory is oh so precious lol.
I'm noticing that Tiger Arcade, about 20mb, does NOT have an option to be moved to SD card in "Applications"
Anyone else have this issue?
jrioni, cps2, and mame4droid don't have enough compatibility for my liking.
P.S. did tiger arcade ever fix that KEY MAPPING issue where it jarbled all of the Xperia buttons after setting them?
Here's a trick I did (requires no root) to go from about 40MB to 181MB free on my un-rooted Xperia PLAY.
• Install the SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/) and the required JDK
• Connect your phone in USB debugging mode (Checkbox in Settings->Applications->Development)
• Open a command prompt (Start->Run->Type "cmd") and navigate to the "platform tools" folder of the SDK
• Type "adb shell"
• Type "pm setInstallLocation 2"
unplug, power off, turn your phone back on and just like magic you'll see you have the ability to move much, much more (if not everything) to external memory.

Okay need a little guidance here. Thanks so much btw for your suggestion.
1) I installed JDK and SDK
2) phone is connected (usb debugging on, usb file sharing off)
3) I can't find "platform tools" folder in windows explorer. I find a platform folder and tools folder
Also, does the Android SDK program need to be open? and if so, does it need to be configured in any way?
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------
Okay I found instruction to install a "platform-tools" update but the update keeps failing every time.
Every update I try keeps failing, actually.
Okay, got it. disabled Norton.
You wouldn't have to have the actual SDK open. All you'll really be (indirectly) accessing is ADB through the platform tools folder. I notice you got it after disabling your AV, but if your version happens not to work I can always archive mine and give it to you.
Should be a straightforward and simple process from hereon though.

Thanks! It's working well...
It's just those damn pre-installed PSX games that will never go to sd card!

Hm, tiger arcade won't load up any of my roms (marvel capcom, street fighter alpha 3) even though it used to on the older version
I'm on the newest one from the tiger arcade website
*scratching head*
does anyone know where I can find old versions of Tiger Arcade?

Alright I'm doing great....with the emulator (games working, controls saving/working) AND the extra space thanks to adb shell!!
thanks alot everyone

Instead of all that hassle hooking it up to the computer, download (if you're rooted) ModInstallLocation and it does the same thing from the phone
Hope this helps!
I was trying to get the backup tool work, but it requires Windows Phone Support Tools. However the URL that I found no longer works. Googling can't find the new location. Can anyone tell me where is the file?

*#*#7780#*#*
I have a Chinese ZTE V955 phone.
This model appears in the list of the Google approved phones and seems to work extremely well.
The Android version is 4.0.4. Kernel version 3.0.21 –perf.
For some reason there are no Google apps on this telephone, which is extremely frustrating.
Also there is no way to add a Google user to “Accounts and sync”.
I understood there is a way of adding the Google Play store after rooting the phone.
After a lot of searching and trying, I have been able to root this telephone in an instant with ICS Root Unlocker 1.0.
I have Superuser and Total Commander can write to protected files.
I found a GoogleLoginService apk and a GoogleServicesFramework apk, which I installed.
After that I was able to add a Google account in accounts and Sync.
I was also able to install Google Talk and I can log in.
Then I installed several versions of the Google Play apk.
The application starts, loads some 48k data and the stops with the message “Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped”. Behind that message there is another message that probably asks for the user to accept or decline the Google conditions, but I cannot click because of the first message on top.
Some sites suggest to copy the vendor.apk to the system/app directory and install it after changing that file’s permissions. I did not try that because I’m a little scared of upsetting this directory.
Can anyone help me further ?
Can I flash the Gapps package without flashing a new Rom I don't seem to find one for this phone) ?
Do I need to edit the etc/hosts file ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there, i am planning to get this phone as spare. Is it recommended?
Hy! Have you guys solved rooting and gapps problems? Did you had any other problems? I don't wanna throw 80 bucks out the window. Thanks!
I installed twrp on my phone expecting to install a custom rom soon after. Come to find out that all the supposed guides for installing custom roms on this phone are phony. There is no rom for this phone, trust me, I've looked everywhere.
I need to replace the stock recovery so I can get ota updates. Anyone with this phone who can post it, I would highly appreciate it.
Even i am looking for Stock image file, can some one extract it from their devices and post it here. All places where ROM for this phone is found is behind a paywall, and i am also not sure if its genuine
