You don't need Ubuntu to pull the recovery from yr device. Just connect,
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img bs=4096
exit
adb pull /storage/recovery.img C:\recovery.img
extract/edit possible in kitchen or whatever you use

sure, no problem, also extracted the pit & about all else there is to the device so if need something just ask away.
Im about done with a modified flashfile with tweaked kernel, framework, su, busybox, deodexed, init-d support, ....

[ROOT][10-29-13]How to Manually Root the Nvidia Shield

Introduction
The following procedure will walk you through the step-by-step process for gaining root access on the Nvidia Shield.
Note: You must have an unlocked bootloader before you can proceed with this tutorial!
A tutorial on how to unlock your Shield's bootloader can be found here.
This tutorial also assumes how have the correct ADB and Fastboot drivers installed for your device, for a tutorial on how to install the ADB and Fastboot drivers for the Shield please look here.
Due to the nature of modifying devices system files the standard XDA disclaimer applies: I take no responsibility for bricked devices due to the following rooting procedure, no warranty express or implied is given, I will not be held responsible if you mess up your device by following this procedure!
Procedure
Before you begin please make sure to read and re-read the whole procedure, making sure you understand the directions.
1. Download the "Superuser-su.zip" file and the "roth-insecure-boot-63.img" file that are attached to this post. After you have downloaded the files, extract the contents of the "Superuser-su.zip" file which contains Superuser.apk and the su binary, and move them to your ADB and Fastboot folder on your computer. Also transfer the "roth-insecure-boot-63.img" to your computer's ADB and Fastboot folder.
MD5 Checksum for "roth-insecure-boot-63.img": F8BA5C48D0323D99E2A748C77BF647F6
2. Connect your Shield to your computer using your USB cable. For maximum reliability please connect the USB cable to a USB 2.0 port directly connected to the motherboard as USB ports on the front of a case panel or USB 3.0 ports can sometimes be unreliable.
3. Now that your Shield is connected to your computer make sure that "USB debugging" is enabled under the Developer Options section in the system settings menu (If the Developer Options section is hidden, go to the About Phone/About Tablet section of the system settings and then tap on the item that lists the Build number 7 times or until it says "You are now a developer" and the Developer Options section becomes visible in the system settings).
4. Open a command prompt window (cmd) in your ADB and Fastboot folder on your computer and issue the following commands (If you are new to using ADB and Fastboot I would recommend checking out this excellent guide to get you up and running):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in fastboot mode let's make sure that the computer see's our device:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the computer see's our device then we can proceed, if it doesn't see your device make sure you are in fastboot mode and have the correct ADB and Fastboot drivers installed for the Shield.
Now we will be booting an insecure boot.img (ro.secure = 0) to our device to allow us to gain root acess:
Code:
fastboot boot roth-insecure-boot-63.img
After the insecure boot.img finishes flashing the device will automatically boot up using the insecure boot.img.
5.First we need to mount the /system partition as read/write so we can modify it:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system
exit
6. Now we need to run the following commands to push the Superuser.apk and su binary to there correct positions and set the proper file permissions:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system
sync
reboot
7. After the device reboots and power on into the Android Operating System you should see Koush's Superuser app in your app-drawer and you should be rooted. If you would like to verify root access you can download and run Root Checker Basic from the Play Store here. Enjoy!
Credits: Koush for his open source Superuser.apk and the su binary (https://github.com/koush/Superuser)
If users would like me to create a 1-click root process of this please let me know and I will do so .
If you are stuck with the rooting procedures I would recommend checking out this great video tutorial by wwjoshdew.

It's just whole unlocking thing and giving up your devices warranty. NVIIDA being able to decline your RMA if your fan goes out and the unit overheats. Or if the scree dies (for example). I'll do it, just gotta grow a pair first.

I did my RMA and nvidia sent me a new 1. So you should get your new shield b4 you send it back if you happen to root it and the screen dies.

This is a pretty complicated way of rooting. All I did was unlock the bootloader, flashed Clockworkmod Recovery, and then flashed the SuperSu zip with that. Rooted! As easy as a Nexus.

This method is actually nearly the same. It's a bootable self-contained image (like recovery is) that mounts the correct partitions, installs the necessary bits, and is done.

I haven't done this yet ... but could you also provide instructions on how to revert? I ask this as it would be nice to know that there is a back-out plan.

To unroot your Shield since you are only temporarily booting an insecure boot image rather then flashing it, if you run the following commands in either ADB shell or terminal emulator will unroot your device:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system
# rm -f /system/app/Superuser.apk
# rm -f /system/xbin/su
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system
Then after you have entered those commands reboot your device and you'll be unrooted.

OK ... well lets say after rooting we install an app that uses root access to stuff up your device ... how do you restore the original image?

The original factory restore image that you can be flashed to your shield to return it to stock can be downloaded from here, along with the factory image extraction instructions (Under the open source resources section), as well as the factory image flashing instructions.

Does anyone if the root stop you from updating the device like GS4?

Simply rooting does not. I was rooted and updated. You lose root but can just reroot it like the first time. I am not sure if you have a custom recovery installed though. I haven't used one on the shield.

I am using the window 8 and I can't get the command prompt to work either directly open or open it as administrator to type the command. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

When you mean you can't get the command prompt to directly open what do you mean by that? Does command prompt not open or run at all when you open it? Do you have ADB and Fastboot installed and the files listed for this procedure in your ADB and Fastboot directory? The Shield I rooted was my friends and he's on vacation right now so I unfortunately can't make a video right now , but I'll still be happy to try and help you through the procedure.

I want that feeling soooo bad. The drivers aren't installing on my computer correctly. I can boot my shield via command but when I enter adb devices nothing shows up even though in device manager the device shows up as Nvidia Shield ADB.
Sad times, its tough as its so new everyone is still trying to figure it out and if the drivers don't install first time there aren't any problem solving threads etc

[GUIDE][UNLOCK BOOTLOADER]Guide to unlocking the bootloader on the L90 [ALL VARIANTS]

Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now likely void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* spontaneous combustion, or any other host of cosmic penalties
* which may befall you, your family, or your phone.
*
*/
Over the last few months development on the LG L90 has made some great strides, up to the point where we can actually install roms! In order to do this, however, you'll need an unlocked bootloader.
The problem that arises is that there are different models of the L90, being the D405, the D405n, the D410 and the D415. For most of the models the unlock process is very similar, but for the D415 another method is needed.
This guide is aimed at explaining the entire unlock process in a complete and simple way, so even if you have no experience flashing custom recoveries or roms at all, you should still be able to follow this guide. If you run into problems, please just post a reply or send me a PM and I'll do my best to help you.
First of all I'd like to note that I did not develop any of the bin files or apks in this guide, I'm only collecting all the unlock methods in one place for easy reference. Therefore I am not responsible for you bricking your device or causing any kind of damage to it. You follow this guide AT YOUR OWN RISK! That being said, let's get to the unlocking!
What you'll need to unlock the bootloader
1. A rooted LG L90
You can root the phone by going to https://towelroot.com in your mobile browser and tapping the lambda sign. Save and install the apk (make sure unknown sources are enabled in "menu > general > security"). Google will warn you about the app, this is because of the exploit which will enable the root access. Execute the program and tap "make it ra1n", then install supersu from the play store. Open supersu and choose to rebuild the binaries. This will fail, but after a reboot supersu should be installed and working properly.
UPDATE: If towelroot doesn't work for you, you've probably got the L90 with an updated firmware. In that case you can follow this guide by @gdjindal to obtain root access. Afterwards you can follow the rest of this guide again.
2. Have adb installed.
just download the Android sdk and install it or, if you don't care about the SDK itself, the minimal adb from the bottom of this post (thanks to @shinobisoft for the upload). Now add the C:/path_to_the_sdk/sdk/platform-tools to your windows PATH variable (Windows 7: right click my computer > properties > advanced system settings > environment variables) or the foler in which adb.exe is located if you downloaded the minimal adb..
On your phone go to "menu > general > about phone > software information" and tap build version a few times untill it says you're a developer, then go to "menu > general > developer options" and enable usb debugging. Connect the phone with your PC and choose to connect in software mode and install the drivers and tools. When you get a message on your phone that your PC want to access usb debugging make sure you check the checkbox and accept. Now open a cmd prompt and type "adb devices" without the quotes. If it shows a series of letters and numbers followed by device, you're good to go. If it says unauthorized, you haven't accepted the prompt on your phone yet. If your device doesn't show up at all you haven't installed the drivers correctly.
3. Find out which device and software version you're running.
Go to menu > general > about phone > Hardware information for your Model number. Mine is LG-D405n, so my model is D405n.
Go to menu > general > about phone > Software information for your Software version. Mine is V10b-EUR-XX, so I've got version v10b.
4.1 If your model number is D405, D405n or D410, you'll need a modified aboot.bin to unlock the bootloader.
Go to the bottom of this post and download the file with your model and software version. I used the L90_D405n_v10b_hack.zip. Extract the aboot.bin in the zip file to a folder on your PC.
4.2 If your model number is D415, you'll need another method to unlock the bootloader, which is explained in this thread made by @aSuperSaiyanG0D.
Unlocking the bootloader on the D405, D405n and D410
1. Open a cmd window an CD to the folder where you've saved the aboot.bin you've downloaded in step 4.1
2. Execute the following commands:
Code:
adb push aboot.bin /storage/external_SD/aboot.bin
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/storage/external_SD/stockaboot.bin
dd if=/storage/external_SD/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Right after the su command, supersu will give you a root request on your phone that you'll have to accept!
This will also make a backup of your current aboot partition as stockaboot.bin on your external SD card. If you don't have an external SD card, this won't work and you'll have to use /storage/emulated/0 (this is a zero, not the letter o) instead of /storage/external_SD/ like this:
Code:
adb push aboot.bin /storage/emulated/0/aboot.bin
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/storage/emulated/0/stockaboot.bin 5429599
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
3. That's basicly it, you can now install a custom recovery. I suggest downloading the latest TWRP (2.8.0.0 right now) from @shoxxy's thread, which can be found here. Just use ROM Toolbox to install it, choose rom installer, press settings > flash image and select the TWRP image from @shoxxy's thread. Afterwards you can boot to recovery using ROM Toolbox, or by shutting down the phone, holding volume down and power untill the lg logo shows, then releasing and immediately pressing those buttons again. You should get a screen asking to perform a factory reset. Choose yes twice (don't worry, it wont actually perform the reset) and TWRP should boot up. Now you can create backups and install custom roms too!
If you're a fan of cyanogenmod, you should visit @Quarx's thread, which can be found here. His CM11 is already mostly functional (right now on some models the front camera doesn't work and the ir blaster doesn't have any software, but most other functions actually do work very well, while it is faster than LG stock and gives almost twice the battery life), so if you like CM it's a thread worth keeping an eye on.
Flashing back the stock rom (in case of a brick)
If you've bricked your device, or want to revert to stock for any reason, you can follow this guide made by @gdjindal.

If you have a problem with step 4.2 only, I assume you have a D415 and you should actually ask this question in the thread that step 4.2 links to. Or isn't that what you meant?
EDIT: please note that step 4.2 is for the D415 ONLY.

Strange, but yes, you can simply paste it on your SD card and continue from the "adb shell" line. You can also try
Code:
adb shell sysrw
before the push command to mount the filesystem as RW. If you do this, it is recommended to use
Code:
adb shell sync
adb shell sysro
after the psuh command (so you'll mount the filesystem as RO again).

Where did you get the not found message? And what do you mean you flashed stock again? If you couldn't execute the dd commands then your bootloader is still locked and all you've done so far is root the device..

UPDATE: I don't get a response, but it seems this user previously flashed the wrong aboot.bin (or did something else, unfortunately he's not being very clear on that) so please only follow this guide when you have a stock recovery + aboot partition. If you did try some things before, please flash the stock rom back first and then follow this guide.

f2fs formatted cannot mount data

I thought id try f2fs and formatted data / cache / system in recovery.
Now i need to install rom but I cannot mount data in adb (device or resource busy) to pull a rom.zip
So at the moment I have a 5" paperweight lol

Are you sure its not mounted already?

How would i check if already mounted. Plus if was a clean install prior to doing this and sure ADB debugging wasn't enabled.
Ive tried pushing the rom.zip to data/media/0 but adb says not found

cd to data and do an ls.
USB debugging is nothing to do with any of this. You're not booted into Android

Change directory to data and use the "ls" command to list the contents.
cd data
ls
Also read my adb thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3006500

I was actually looking at your adb thread.
If i do cd data
ls
it shows
media
/data
trying command adb push c:\aicp.zip data/media
I get /sbin/sh:adb: not found

OK so we learned data is already mounted because you can list the contents.
So you need to adb push to /data/media/0
You can't use adb push within adb, hence the error. You need to exit adb by typing exit then use the adb push command

I got there in the end, now transferred rom.zip
Really appreciate your help rootSU
Thanks

No probs.

Question Request: Run a few "adb shell" commands on a Xiaomi 11

Hey you lucky Mi 11 owners,
I'm trying to compile a database for Android Devices - something like the Grade Partition Table Reference started a while ago here @xda, but a lot more detailed, including:
-cat /proc/cpuinfo
- getprop
- service list
- lshal
- ps -Zef
- ls -l /dev
- ls -l /dev/block/by-name
- cat /proc/partitions
- df
- mount
- dumpsys (lots of output)
I make the results public at http://newandroidbook.com/ddb/ so other people, primarily researchers and rooters/modders, can benefit. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. It's really simple to do this (especially on Linux, just use "script" then "adb shell", then run all these , exit from device, exit from script, and grab typescript.txt)

I have sent my debugging records, copied and saved by CMD of win10. Because my linux can't seem to load usb

That's great! Thank you! But... where did you send them? I didn't get anything either here or at the [email protected] mail..
And btw, running "Adb" as root usually fixes the usb problems on Linux. Either that, or changing dev rules

Oh, I probably sent the wrong email address. I am using the Linux subsystem under win10. Run lsusb to get [email protected]:/mnt/c/Users/Ge# lsusb
unable to initialize libusb: -99

It should be as easy as unlocking the bootloader and trying magisk through Magisk Manager on the boot.img from the OTA (which I put at http://NewAndroidbook.com/ddb/Mi11/OTA). Let me know if you need help with that.

For example, he has no output

That happens if debugs is not mounted
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
fixes problem
