Well, I finally bit the bullet and took official maintainership of the Shield devices for TWRP. So, here's the pure upstream release. It's sideways due to lack of rotation support, but it should have every feature any other TWRP supported device does. The OP is a little different from other TWRP threads because I don't want to keep updating the changelog and version numbers, but those can be found on the twrp homepage linked there. Enjoy.

I'm pretty sure there's a sideways TWRP theme. I recall using it to get it to display properly on molly (Google's ADT-1 Developer Kit).
Have you tried setting the TWRP theme like this? :
Code:
TW_THEME := landscape_hdpi

Yeah, the only thing that changes is the aspect ratio, not the orientation.

Thank you! Thank you!
Just updated to 110, and installed TWRP you posted. All went perfect.
Just FYI, sometimes when I flash a new TWRP recovery, it doesn't take the first time, so I just flash it a few times, then test to see if it took, if it didn't take, I flash a few times more until it finally flashes.
Is there a specific key combo you can use to go right into recovery? Right now, I boot into the bootloader by pressing and holding the back, home and nvidia buttons till it boots into the bootloader, then I select recovery to go into TWRP. Just wanted to know if there's was a key combo to go directly into recovery.
Thanks again for providing and posting the latest TWRP for the Portable!!

Hello, quick question. I have a previous version of TWRP installed and want to update to the new one.
Is it possible to apply the OTA to 110 with this TWRP or do I need the stock bootloader?
If I need the stock one, does anyone have a link to it? I didn't make a backup, unfortunately

No need to apply the ota, download the recovery image from Nvidia and fastboot flash blob, boot, and system. You'll lose any modifications to system (such as root) as expected, but that's easy enough to restore.
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source
But there's no real reason not to update twrp. The older multirom based version has screen rotation, but that's no big deal. And the newer updates have current selinux policies, so they'll be much less likely to cause issues with newer android versions (for those using CM13 and hopefully 14 sometime soon).

Ah, I didn't know nvidia published those files like that. That's actually really great!
I'm all up to date now, including the latest TWRP

Hmm I tried TWRP 3.1 from the TWRP website and the touch interface doesn't work. Also, 3.0.2 seems to have problems mounting and wiping data?

Meh, okay. I saw a similar touch problem on a local twrp build. I've requested that the build be removed from the official site. I'll look into the problem when I have time.
Haven't had any trouble on 3.0.2 myself. Did you enable encryption or adopted storage in your ROM?

Great, thanks!
I didn't enable encryption, and it was the latest stock rom. I'm not really sure what happened. It just seemed to be having trouble mounting and wiping a few partitions on the stock system rom, so I flashed the 3.0.0.0 TWRP from the multirom. I seem to recall that having issues wiping too though. However, now that I've flashed LineageOS onto the system partition, I don't get any errors with 3.0.0.0 anymore. I haven't updated to 3.0.2.0 to see if the errors are gone in that build (nor do I want to wipe anything at this point).

As I wrote in the LineageOS thread, I had the same problem with touchscreen. I was hoping to solve the non working touchscreen problem during Aroma OpenGapps install.. is there any hope it gets solved? I think it would be very useful to be able to choose exactly what to install on the Shield, considering its little system partition.

Hmm, seems 3.1.0.0 and 3.1.1.0 don't work on the Shield Portable. After the first start no touch gesture is recognized. If you connect a USB mouse you can get past this...
But after a new start to the recovery everything you select results in "wipe factory settings" - which I assume you won't
PS: Landscape would be nice.

I too have this issue. Seems they messed up screen as portrait mode.

I see the problem with touch on the newer builds. Would have sworn I had at least one of those removed due to issue, but it apparently came back. Looking into updating all the internal files for 7.1. Working on testing and fixing that right now. The problem is that the touch screen userspace is trying to start before selinux is set to permissive by twrp. So, I have to make sure everything is labelled correctly and that's causing issues. If I'm lucky, I'll be uploading a test build later today. But as with all this type of work, I can't 100% guarantee anything.

The rotation code no longer exists, it was deemed too slow and hacky. I have to set it up in portrait or not at all, unfortunately.
Edit:
So, not having much luck with making it play nice on default settings. Here's a build with selinux explicitly disabled and touch works as expected. As I have time, I will continue to work on this and get it upstreamed. For the moment, use this 3.1.1 build.
twrp-3.1.1-0-unofficial-roth.img

Finally got around to pushing updates to official twrp. So if you've had issues in the past, please try again. Should be easier to test and fix stuff now that I've got all that pushed.
Side Note: This is fully a 7.1.1 recovery and build. Blasted recovery from N works better than the roms themselves...

Some updates have been pushed for this. 3.2.1.0 has been release as of a few hours ago. If any issues are found, please report.

When trying to flash the 2018-02-11 LineageOS nightly with 3.2.1.0, I get the following error;
Code:
Updating partition details...
...done
Full SELinux support is present.
Installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-13.0-20180211-nightly-roth-signed.zip'

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-13.0-20180211-nightly-roth-signed.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
The flash does not proceed beyond this point - apparently can't identify the device type (see bolded text above). If I repeat the process using version 3.1.1-2 or version 3.0.2.0 it works fine, though.
Let me know if you'd like me to pull any logs etc

Help with Treble ROMs

I have the PRA-LX1 with already unlocked bootloader and got it rooted with TWRP + Magisk before the last OTA.
I'm not a beginner with rooting this phone but only got Problems with installing any Treble Rom (tried Lineage and Aosp) and every try ended with a bootloop I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
So please can anyone give me a step by step instruction?
Which Treble Rom is a good one and recommended for this phone?
Which TWRP do I need?
And how exactly do I flash them correctly? What do I wipe?
Sorry for this noob questions but I failed so many times with Treble and don't want to do the reinstall with erecovery for the 10000 time :crying:
Thanks

I googled it, pretty much every source says that you require a custom recovery in order to flash a GSI or any custom ROM.

Oh, well that's pretty cool. Either way, I just tried flashing Official Resurrection Remix GSI with no luck. Stock recovery, attempted to flash through fastboot and it just gives me a bootloop, exactly like TWRP does. Followed the guide you linked to etc, just keeps rebooting.

Well, I finally got it all working.
You know the risks, don't blame me if something goes wrong, I did these exact steps to manage to root my phone without breaking it. C432, Dual SIM and PRA-LX1.
Have everything stock before following this short guide: Firmware, all stock recovery etc.
Installing the ROM and GApps
First, download necessary GSI files.
(Personally I got Official Oreo Resurrection Remix, here).
(Although you could find yourself using virtually any other GSI, I like the look and feel of RR, though I'll be changing my boot animation with root). Many people would probably recommend you to use something like an AOSP, or LOS which I was also considering on installing. They may also come bundled with GApps, which would negate the later need for installation or download of separate GApps.
This may include GAPPS but you should understand this from the GSI page, so for example on RR I had to download both the latest base ROM .img and the micro GApps.
So to do this I had to use the right architecture (For the P8 Lite 2017, this is ARMx64, do your good research, since my problem was getting this wrong with my PRA-LX1 (Mine was A-ONLY), this stands for the base ROM and GApps.
After this I actually didn't use TWRP as user @ppdr07 advised. I followed the guide he linked us to and did as so, without following the -u command, since it wasn't working for me (didn't affect anything, try it, if it doesn't work, just take that bit out).
The ROM ended up installing and posting through, everything set up perfectly.
After this I was like "Huh, so what now? How am I to flash GApps on this without TWRP?". I went for it and booted into fastboot where I flashed Askuccio's TWRP for hi6250 devices. At this point I worried that the ROM wouldn't post again - though it did, so from there I enabled dev options and switched on advanced power options just for ease of usage. From there I rebooted straight to recovery which posted fine, too.
At this point, you need to flash the GApps. Go for the one that the original GSI page recommends. Flash it to the System Image partition. Don't wipe anything. At this point I recommend that if you realise that you forgot to transfer any files to the SD card, you should do it from the system. It works better compared to the MTP on TWRP. Either way, that should work properly. Now, reboot the system, and it should work perfectly.
Enjoy, it took me months to get to this point lol
Rooting Your New ROM With Magisk
(Before installing this consider the other root options. I believe there's SuperSU and another possibly that I'm less aware of. Either way, in my opinion Magisk comes with the most benefits so I'll be helping you out with that).
After this I ended up flashing Magisk in order to use Snapchat and other apps similar to it. Firstly you'll want to set up Google stuff which has been newly added to the system, and then you'll want to go to chrome and download the Magisk Manager .apk from here. The main and most reliable place to get it is from the creator's project page found here, all main links stand out in the middle fairly well.
(Remember to enable downloading of unknown apps for Chrome in it's app settings, otherwise it won't download or install.)
If it still doesn't work at this point, I ended up holding down on the Magisk Manager link and pressing Download Link (or something to that effect). From this point just install it as you would any other out-of-store app.
Now, you'll need to download these two files from the Magisk page onto your computer: Stable Installer and Uninstaller. Next, while booted into Android, copy them over to either Internal or External storage and when it's done, reboot into TWRP again, either by advanced power menu or using the button commands for recovery. Personally, I think I need the power options with this phone.
In TWRP, simply go to Install, navigate to /externalsd/***[WHEREVER YOU PLACED YOUR MAGISK FILES]***, then install the Magisk installer .zip. If unchanged, the filename should be something like "Magisk-v17.1.zip". Install it, then give rebooting a go. Hopefully it'll post, if not, go back into TWRP and run the Uninstaller .zip, it's saved me a bunch of times.
Unblocking Apps That Say Something Like "Your Phone is Rooted or Modified, no access blah blah blah..."
(Snapchat is the example used here. It won't work upon login if you don't follow this step. Some apps don't work with this alone however, though somebody may have produced a separate guide or easily installable Magisk module with a solution for it. One that won't be fixed singularly with Magisk Hide is Google Pay).
After posting, if you need to unblock Snapchat or something, go to Magisk Manager (which should now be more green), open the top left context menu, tap on Magisk Hide, and search "snap" until you see the Snapchat logo pop up, then select it, then back out with the back button. It should stay selected in Magisk, and the app should now be usable and shouldn't give you any annoying errors, if not give it a reboot and see if it's solved.
Good luck!

[Guide] [SM-T350] Root and Update Galaxy Tab A 8.0 to ANDROID PIE

I am not responsible for bricked devices, or any other hardware malfunctions that come as a result of flashing anything. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it
Hey everyone,
I am writing this guide because I spend all day trying to figure out how to upgrade my grandma's tablet from android 7 TouchWiz to android 9 pie. I did not create any of the files that I am about to link just putting all the info in one place because I feel it's needed.
Before starting my grandam's tablet was running android 7.0 TouchWiz. So if you are in the same situation do the following.
Download the following
Odin3-v3-10-7
SM-T350 Marshmallow Firmware (check second post for faster mirror)
TWRP-3.2.1
PIE ROM of Choice
Open Gapps (Remember Platform: ARM | Android Version : 9.0| Variants: Your Choice)
Root (Optional): Magisk
Instructions
1. Put your tablet in download mode by turning it off then pressing and hold [Power] [Vol-Down] & [Home] at the same time till a cyan warning screen appear.
2. Press Volume Up to Continue.
3. Connect the Tablet to the computer via USB stick
4. Extract the Odin and Marshmallow Firmware zip files and place it on the desktop
5. Run Odin and make sure you can see your device
6. Click on [AP] button and find the marshmallow firmware. Let Odin verify the file (take a second) then click start to begin the flashing process
7. After flashing the firmware the tablet will reboot and just wait for the welcome screen.
8. In the welcome screen skip everything till you get to the home screen then turn the tablet off and put it back into download mode (see step 1)
9. Now your tablet should still be connected to the computer and Odin should still be open.
10. In Odin go to the second tab (OPTIONS) and uncheck Auto Reboot (VERY IMPORTANT)
11. Now click on the [AP] button and find the TWRP zip file then click start to flash it
12. After the flashing process has been successful press and hold [Power] [Vol-Down] & [Home] to reboot. AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK LET GO OFF THE BUTTONS AND PRESS AND HOLD [POWER] [VOL-UP] and [ HOME] AT THE SAME TIME.
13. If you did it right you should be in TWRP. If not you have to repeat step 11 and 12
14. Make a NANBACKUP in TWRP and copy it to your computer
15. After that copy the PIE ROM and GAPP of your choice. (MAGISK IF YOU WANT ROOT) to the internal memory card or sd card whichever you have. I don't have an SD card so I copied it to the internal memory
16. In TWRP Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache. (Recommended)
17. Flash the ROM, GAPPS
18. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
19. Reboot your device.
Thanks to @lividhen99 for the post that I got all this info
Thanks to everyone who creates and ported recoveries and ROM to this device. My grandma appreciated it ( we both hate TouchWiz)
PS. I will eventually come back and make a mirror of the marshmallow firmware file because it is so long and slow. If anyone wants to beat me to it please do

Is there a 64 bit version of Android Pie for the SM-T350? After following these instructions I couldn't install the 64 bit version of GApps, said it was not compatible. Is that a holdover from the Marshmallow firmware? The SM-T350 supposedly has an ARM 64bit processor so you'd think it could take the 64 bit GApps install but after these updates it shows that it'e the 32 bit version of Pie. I know I'm kind of rambling here but I guess you can follow what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

is this compatible with the sm-p355?

Is it necessary to do this from Marshmallow 6? Will this procedure work for Nougat 7.1.1?

It should technically work, but if you get a black screen, downgrade to marshmallow and try again. Not all devices need to be downgraded, and nobody knows why

Great, thanks for the info! This sounds like a, great summer project while we are all locked in quarantine.

This is a thread on how to install roms on this device, it provides no roms besides the marshmallow one to fix the black screen issue.

Trying to get this to work, everything is fine until I try to load the new ROM and GAps, it's giving me error 7, specifically this:
- Confirming target device...
mount: Failed to mount /dev/block/by-name/vendor at /vendor: No such

What partitions did you wipe?

I might be a little late posting here but I am currently trying this with the SM-T350 that came with 7.1.1 and for some reason when I load the Marshmallow firmware to my tablet it never actually boots, it gets as far as flashing the Samsung logo on a black background then says Touchwiz.exe has encountered an error. Am I doing something wrong? I am following the instructions word for word as far as I can tell.

The marshmallow firmware never has to boot. If you want it to boot, factory reset (wipe data and dalvik cache). But you wipe system data and cache anyway when you install a rom.

Basically I just want to use TWRP to flash Magisk and use it to spoof for Pokemon Go. I did it previously on a Galaxy S5 but I never had a problem booting into the OS and just turning the phone off when I wanted to boot into recovery mode (TWRP) so I don't really know what I am doing but I am assuming I need it to boot normally for magisk to root the device. Unfortantely when I try to flash TWRP with the 7.1.1 firmware that comes stock on the device recovery just boots to a black screen so searching around has led me to the conclusion I need to downgrade to Marshmallow then try flashing TWRP but I never expected it to not boot normally xD Sorry this is a bit outside of my technical knowledge to say the least.

I believe I understand what I need to do now. I managed to load into TWRP so at that point I can just flash any rom and use magisk to root. Any particular one you might suggest? Thanks for all the help by the way!

OH! Well, now that you have that specific version of twrp booted, I would recomend either lineage os or crdroid for the SM-T350. If you just want stock Samsung, you can reflash the stock 7.1.1 firmware and grab the Nougat twrp for the sm-T355 from ashyx's galaxy tab a twrp page here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-t3426560 . It will boot on Nougat (7.1.1) but it cannot flash android pie (9.0) or Q (10.0) roms. It can still flash magisk though.
Crdroid (I released a newer build on the second to last page ?): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-galaxy-tab-8-0-t3912517/page32
Lineage: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-t3903258/page31
If you do end up flashing a custom rom, just wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then flash the ROM zip, the gapps zip, and the magisk tnstaller zip. Just remember to enable magisk hide to pass safetynet whether you go custom rom, or not.
If you want the marshmallow firmware to boot, I think just wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, wipe data.
Wiping data will delete all your apps and settings and passwords, etc. It is essentially a factoy reset.

the device isnt capable of running ARM64 however you can find regular ARM variants of lineageOS (what i used instead of flashing the stock firmware) and of gapps. my galaxy tab a (sm-t350) now runs android 10 and gapps 10.0 full, through this guide. just ignore the first software package and continue with the guide.

help! flashed from stock firmware (i don't remember version)...after a lot of time, is in the wizard section with a lot of error (unfortunately the process xxx has stopped), and the tablet reboot...what should i do?

can't flash TWRP 3.3.1 - 3.0.2 works just fine

I'm having difficulty getting TWRP 3.3 working on my z3c. I'm not new to the process, and have done it a few times on a few phones. Right now my z3c has TWRP 3.0.2-1-z3c. I'm wanting to try the new Android 10 ROM that came out, but it requires TWRP 3.3 to work. So I got the TWRP provided in the thread. I'm flashing from Linux, so I did run
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.3.1-1-A10.0-z3c.img
When I reboot and hold the power down button it skips over TWRP and just boots the ROM I have installed.
Okay, so I downgrade to TWRP 3.0.2-1 and reboot...hold volume down...TWRP boots just fine.
Flash TWRP 3.3 again....no joy. It just boots straight to ROM.

Same. Couldnt find a proper answer to this. Still have trouble with this? I'm on CR6.1, that's android 8.1 and I'd like to try later versions (lineage os or maybe CR7.0)

Screwed badly with the systems to the point where I softbricked the phone, and had to revert to stock. Will try going straight to 3.3.1 instead now.
Edit: I used adb to go to fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), from there I tried all the different twrp images I have, including latest Android 10 one using the fastboot boot image.img (replace image by name of image, I name them A8, A9, A10 to match android version).
All of them booted, which means I can flash them without issues. I don't know which version I want to install though for now, and I don't want to be stuck again on a version that I won't be able to upgrade later on... so will probably go straight to A10 and Lineage 17 even if it's quite buggy.

I used:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-moto-g6-ali-twrp-root-and-magisk-installation-guide.3816569/page-41.
It worked out well. As long as you have TWRP, you should be able to recover from bootloops.

I have not used it before. I am by no means a pro at this, so maybe try looking around.

How did you install? A lot of older guides say to flash magisk, but I did it through the apk, as that's what magisk recommends.
Also did you get recovery to work. From my experience, it's generally not good to proceed without recovery, as it is harder to recover from boot loops and other issues.

I had a copy of the system previously made, but after rebooting into the system it only turned on twrp, I had to upload the firmware again via smart assistant. First I did a wipe, then I installed no verify and magisk but later it did not boot system but it returned to twrp. I searched 1000 pages for .img to moto g6 android 9.0 Is it possible to downgrade to android 8.0 without root? I have no idea how to root on this anymore. my model is XT1925-5.
