Flashfire does not seem to work right without SuperSu, at least I had the same experience as you. I flashed back the stock recovery and let the normal updater do it's jobs.
It doesn't seem to care that a custom Kernel and magisk is installed, worked perfectly.

How do I flash the stock recovery mate?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using Tapatalk
I find it easy to flash the full update through TWRP.
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
I flashed successfully using TWRP as well, and everything is working fine.
Just downloaded the version posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74693612&postcount=6
Then booted to TWRP, flashed the file, then flashed Magisk (or SuperSU if you prefer) to root. Root before rebooting after the update, otherwise TWRP may be replaced with stock recovery.
I did backup using Titanium, before updating. Your data should remain intact. But it's good to backup beforehand, just in case.
You do not need to download images from the site. Simply allow your tablet to download the update. Once downloaded, it is located in /system/data/data/com. nvidia. ota/app_download - move it to /system/sdcard/Download, run the tablet in recovery and flash the downloaded zip file.

So is there anyway to keep my recovery or root when I flash an ota update?
If there is no way. Then anyway to install cwm and root from just the phone?
I do my updates etc when I have down time and that's usually on lunch or when my laptop is not around so handling everything from the phone would be very nice.

You will lose root when flashing an OTA, but it is just one extra step to flash the SuperSU (takes less than a minute) to regain root. I keep the SuperSU file on my phone and just flash it from there.
I use TWRP, and haven't lost my custom recovery while flashing 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 yet.
(I stay stock rooted - you can't safely take OTA if you aren't on the stock ROM)

I haven't used CWM, so can't say. But with TWRP, I flashed the update, and let the phone start up fully. Then, when I saw that root was gone, I shut down and booted back into TWRP, and flashed SuperSU. and then, booted back up. TWRP is still there.
(I'm rooted, stock ROM with custom recovery as well)
I use TWRP also. I flash the OTA, then Flash the SuperSU and then I reboot. Have yet to lose root
So not really a way of keeping cwm or root... But this is how I did it without needing a computer with me.
Flashed updated in cwm... Then flashed root... Then reboot... Used ROM manager to reinstall cwm.... Everything is good to go.

Or do like I do wait a couple of hours for one of the great devs we have here to give us a fully working updated stock rom with su and busybox built in.
All you can ask for from a rooted stock rom.
Download the system images and use flashify to flash all the files you need.

you make a backup in recovery, then dirty flash, dont wipe a single thing, 444 over it. if alls well after, then perfect. if you have issues, you have that backup in recovery to restore

Unfortunately my clairvoyant skills aren't working today
perhaps you could elaborate on the following 2 things
1) what zip are you flashing?
2) what error are you getting?

Don't use OTA updates. Just manually flash a rooted stock ROM via TWRP.
Click the link in my signature and go to the "resources" section. You'll find a full rooted, PURE STOCK 4.4.4 rom there.
Copy it to your /sdcard, take a FULL nandroid backup then flash the ROM.

if the dirty flash is successful, you wont lose a thing, except time. if you have to go back and wipe, you will lose your data. so, make a backup in recovery first, before the dirty flash.
Hi all guys.
I've just received the OTA update 30O for my oneplus one.
What i did to my phone is: root via adb and fastboot commands, install TWRP recovery 2.7.1.0 and gain root acces with SuperSU.
I then did update my recovery to TWRP 2..7.1.1 via TWRP manager installing the supported busybox from the play store.
Is it sage to OTA update using this configuration? Ive read here on the section that some people has caused havoc by updating their phone and I just want to be safe as I use my phone for work purposes too.
Thanks yall for your help :highfive: :good:
I was on cm11s the initial build with twrp.
I adb sideloaded the official OTA the @timmaaa links in his sticky in the general section, then I rebooted, and took the next OTA which installed on its own through twrp. Then I rebooted.
So it should work for you. The thread in general has all of the instructions to adb sideload it

Hey Guy,
I flashed the XtreStoLite Bootloader and Modem for 5.1.1.
After that I flashed the new TWRP with Odin, it passed so there shouldn't be any errors.
I tried to boot into the recovery after I turned off the phone with volume + / power / home button. At first there was only a picture of an android but now it doesn't do anything when I try to press the buttons.
The Bootloader shows that the knox is already tripped so it's w/e.
Tried to check for root in Android terminal but apparently it doesn't recognise the command.
Any ideas how to proceed, so I can finally boot into twrp?

redownload twrp, check md5 and flash twrp again would be what I would do.
Flashed several times after redownload, can't get into the twrp. Hash is correct, how fast do I have to be with the + button for getting into it, when my phone reboots?

Did you flash this file?
Once it is flashed with ODIN and the screen turns off for reboot, already hold the three buttons.

That's the point:
you have to be very quick .
That's the reason most people can't get this to run; you have to be fast enough to stop the phone from rebooting all by itself.
I'm sure you don't need to reflash, give it another try.
Flashing the XtreStoLite ROM should be done via TWRP, also, just copy the file to your phone`s root folder using ODIN
and use TWRPs "install" feature; voila.
Have fun!

Ye that's how I used to flash ROMs on my Hox. Just couldn't get the twrp to work.
Edit. Got into recovery, there's no twrp on the Phone.
Only "android system recovery".

Put it in d/l mode, connect to your PC and flash TWRP again with Odin.
I had some issues when using a slightly older version, make sure Odin, TWRP and your Samsung USB drivers are on they're latest version.
Hey guys. I just want to know if anyone can confirm that the roms and recoveries for the first Nvidia Shield Tablet can work on the NEW Nvidia Shield Tablet? I heard the two tablets are basically the same except for the built in stylus so I'm hoping that the roms work for the NEW one...
Thx Guys
I'm not sure about the ROMs, but the official twrp works flawlessly. I couldn't actually get it to flash via fastboot but I did get it to boot into it via fastboot, then did a backup, then flashed root. After flashing root I downloaded flashfire by chainfire and used that to flash the twrp recovery. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helpful info! I hope this helps others as well. I will try a custom rom on it when I pick it up. Good thing you told me that I can't flash twrp via fastboot... (would've gave me a headache at first ) No problem though I'll just have to boot it via fastboot, make a backup just in case, flash supersu, and then flash the twrp recovery onto the shield with a third party app like flashfire.
Thanks again

Could you maybe try to do a full backup using flashfire? I used twrp and later realized it doesn't backup the recovery or the kernel so even if I need to I can't return to full stock. Flashfire is still in beta but there is a thread here to sign up. It's the replacement to flashify if I remember right.
