I bought a cheapo tablet because it was only $70. It is a 7" tablet running JB 4.1.1. It is made by ZENDEX and the model is S701 the spalsh screen says "Smartbook Entertainment Tablet". I am thinking of sending it to my friend since he doesn't have a tablet. I have an iPAD 4 which I love...so, this is more of a "goofing around" device.
I have a Driod Razr MAXX and currently running "AVATAR" rom. I know how to flash and root, and was wondering if there is a ROM I could run on this tablet.
Thanks

Hi
Just wondering if i can get use out of my old tablet in console mode, ive seen that the new K1 tablet supports this refresh rate at 4K in console mode.
If it has identical hardware, does that mean [email protected] will be possible on our older shield tablets?
thanks =)
Absolutely, they even advertised it when it was launching

Hello Everyone. I'm new here but not new to tech in general, I do quite a bit with pcs just haven't got the experience with mobiles yet (why i'm here!) Anyway I have an original nvidia shield tablet (recalled model) and instead of wasting it I intend on turning it into a dedicated gamestream/netflix machine hooked up to an hdtv. As some of you may know nvidia has a killswitch that will deactivate the old tablet after the new one is setup. I believe the best/easiest way to get around this is to root the tablet and install the nvidia 2 .2 .2 firmware (running either 3.01 or 3.1 now I think) and delete the tegraOTA files. I've read that 2.2.2 does not have the killswitch and I need nvidia's firmware so that I can continue to use nvidia gamestream and my shield controller.
As mentioned I'm completely new to rooting, installing ROMs, and deleting system files, so I would appreciate if I could receive some guidance before I blow something up
When I compare technical stats (cup, gpu, chipset, etc) of Shield Tablet 2014 (Gen 1) and Shield Tablet K1 2015 (Gen 2), they are exactly the same. Does that mean Gen 1 Tablet custom ROMs are also compatible with Gen 2 Tablet as well?
I tried to search forums, but I see no mention of Tablet K1 (Gen 2) separately, leading me to think that they might technically be the same and cross compatible at ROM level.
Usually but not always - unless otherwise specified they're compatible in my understanding.

Thanks. I quickly checked info a few ROMs, but I didn't find Gen 2 Tab (K1) mentioned there
They are not compatibles. And partitions are not the same.
The system partition is larger on the k1 so ota's aren't interchangeable but, all of the user created ROMs, recoveries, and kernel's are interchangeable so far. There are no actual hardware differences that aren't cosmetic besides a slot for the stylus and it's sensor.

I've run original Shield ROMs all the way back to Kitkat 4.4 on my K1. I don't really recommend bothering though because the OSs are just more buggy as you go back in time. I think the current Android 6.0.1 is probably the best release ever for these tablets (aside from Marshmallow's removal of App to SD).
I flashed between these with NVIDIA recovery images and installed them in fastboot. Returning to the K1's stock Lollipop ROM always worked fine.
One advantage to running original Shield ROMs is you get Trine 2 instead of that Sim Fallout game.
Good morning everybody,
I just bought a second hand nvidia shield, it was full of app and other stuff so i decided to restore it to stock,
Im wondering to know wich is the best OTA for shield, im considering rooting and install some emulators.
Thank you
I would just restore the stock image.
