If you want an easy way to move files onto and off of your Nvidia Shield TV, then try installing Funky Fresh's Samba File Server for Android.
REQUIREMENTS
root
a USB or bluetooth keyboard to navigate this app
a USB or bluetooth mouse to navigate this app
Shield TV software version 3.x
INSTRUCTIONS
Download the .zip file and rename extension to .apk
Use your favorite way to sideload the APK onto your Nvidia Shield TV, like a USB flash stick
Launch the app
Press <CTRL> + <ESC> to pull up the menu and then click SETTINGS
Now, you can set up your SMB Network file sharing settings, ie, password, username, workgroup name, etc. I would highly recommend changing the orientation setting to LANDSCAPE.
When you're done with the settings, go back to the app's main activity and pull up the menu again, Press <CTRL> + <ESC>
Click (+)ENABLE to start the server
Now, you should be able to access the SMB share you just created on the Nvidia Shield TV from any Windows machine connected to the same network. This makes it super simple and easy to move files on and off the device.
The NETBIOS Name will be the name that shows up in Windows Network places. The internal storage will show up as SDCARD.
This won't show up in the Play store so I'm archiving it with this thread to make it easier to get.
This app won't enable the server automatically after reboot, so if you reboot, then you have to hook up your mouse and keyboard to enable it again.
I like SambaDroid much better than Samba Filesharing. I've been using it for a few years with great success. However, after the update to Marshmallow I had to install the app to set SELinux permissions to permissive. After that it works like a champ again.
Might try your app as well to see how it works.

Never heard of SambaDroid either, but thanks! I'll try that one out too! Funky Fresh Samba is super reliable. I've used it for over a year on my AFTV. The only thing annoying about it is that it doesn't start up automatically after reboot.
sambadroid is better and available in the playstore. thanks for the info though

What does it have that's better?
UPDATE: It has a lot of options! But I can't get it to start? I click start and it says "starting" but then it says "stopped"?
Have you been able to get this working on Marshmallow?
Yea, it's not working on Marshmallow:

Too bad, it's a polished looking app.
i personally use servers unlimited. It starts on boot and i have alot more options than just samba. It also has a server that allows you to connect to the shield tv server and manager it from your mobile phone... Its been a godsend!

Will this mount the samba share so that apps will see it as a local resource??

Yes that app is how I got it to work. You only have to run it once, and then the script executes after each reboot to rest the permissions.

Its not samba, but ive recently found a way to do this using ssh, mount remote mount as local mount, android to android mind you, i dont have access to a pc/mac to test, confirmed working on shield 2.1 full android
Im able to use any app on my tablet to access the usb on my shield, all apps on my tablet, or at least the ones ive tested so far, see it a as a local file system
The server app i used on my shield was
Sshelper (server)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...sshelper&hl=en
http://arachnoid.com/android/SSHelper/
The app that does the mounting
Easysshfs
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...asysshfs&hl=en
https://bitbucket.org/bobrofon/easysshfs
I think their both opensource, although dont quote me on that one
Edit
Wait, "confirmed working on my" .........tablet...........which i now realise, is not the shield
So to clarify, the server side is confirmed working on the shield, ive not tested the mounting app on the shield, so cant confirm that works, but i assume it should, unless android tv is missing/never added stuff this depends on
the dev who's made the kernel with NTFS said he's going to try to port samba.
It might be difficult for him, specially if we want to configure different permissions for different folders..
sshd should be much easier for him, and although not configurable should give us all the access we need via sftp

Thank you, sambadroid is now working again.
How does it compare to NFS? From what I have read, on lower powered ARM platforms, NFS is generally much faster, but it would be nice to know if it would be significant on the Shield.
Hi,
I've used both this app and SambaDroid, both great apps, working well.
I do however have one common issue.
I have added a 500Gb drive to my system (its an Android based TV device with Kodi now on it) formatted as Ext4 in one single partition.
Both the Samba apps work and I have a Windows server pushing various files to the shares without problem....until now.
Despite the drive having 147Gb free on the 500Gb drive, I now keep getting "There is not enough space on the disk" when attempting to copy files.
I know copying works, as I can copy some smaller files, and I know there is no problem with copying say a 1.5Gb file as that has worked previously.
My questions are:
1. is there a limit to the disk size that these Samba implementations can access? (is 500Gb too big? should I have more than 1 partition?)
2. is Ext4 the correct format to use or is there a preferred format?
many thanks
Andy.

This module for mounting Samba (Windows) shares from your Android phone.
1. Need Root
2. Unzip cifs.zip and put files from it in "/system/lib/modules" (by Root Explorer)
3. Install Cifs Manager from market
4. In Cifs Manager set path to your windows share, login and pass for it
5. Mount and use for play video or music without copying files to smartphone

utf8 support?
Anyone know if it support UTF8? I thought it does or maybe I am doing something wrong.
nls_utf8.ko loaded ok, mounting Win XP folders OK,
but I can't see Chinese characters
I am on stock 2.51 ROM
Thanks
I found it out after hours of searching, here it is for people who need to have International Characters support (UTF8)
In Cifs Manager, add share ----> option, you have to put in "iocharset=utf8"
It works well now.
Is it possible to use Cifs-Manager with the current Perseus-Kernel?

Thanks man. I took and extracted this cifs.ko and simply pasted a copy into my:
/lib/modules
......directory. Adjusted CIFS Manager settings and it worked great, even on my Bell Mobility SGH-i317M model.
Afterwards the cifs.ko file appears to have disappeared from that directory (even another copy/paste action into that directory never called up an overwrite option ). Regardless, however, my CIFS mounts still work flawlessly everytime I mount them.....100%
To others wondering what the purpose of the cifs.ko or why we need to mount to our sdcard. Some apps.....in my case QuickPic work by browsing designated local folders on your device. With CIFS mounts, I can treat network shared folders as local (ie it sees them as being on my device). This allows QuickPic to see all my pictures (thousands of them on my hard drives attached to my PC), and the ones on my device as well, and display them in gallery form. As long as I am connected to my local network via wifi I have immediate, and pleasant viewing in gallery form, of every single picture in my collection regardless if they are on the device or not. Add VPN porting into home network and I can view all my pics, using QuickPic even on the go never having to actually waste limited SDcard space on my device.
I could use ES File Explorer (or similar) to view these same photos but it requires navigating thru directories or creating shortcuts.....its just clunky. With CIFS mounts I open QuickPic and I have instant stunning gallery access to every picture in entire collection. The only time it is clunky is the first time a network directory is accessed, or if the QucikPic thumbnael cache is deleted and has to be rebuilt.
Another app CIFS works well with is Mizuu for video playback and stunning gallery presentation.....same concept. Ive made it work with BS Player as well as Car Tunes also. That is what I use CIFS for but I am sure there are many more reasons or actions possible it.

Thanks for this! I was able to get it working by using the Note2Core 2.21 AS (LTE) as well. I have a Rogers-based i317M as well, so chose the 7105 based (LTE) version of the kernel.
I had to google around for that specific kernel, though. The 3.x version wouldn't detect my SIM card, but I was able to use CIFS.
I wasn't able to get CIFS working with the Peresus kernel.
Update: This will not work on Build Number I337UCUAMF3
Thanks to Dan Rosenberg, aka @djrbliss, this device can now be unlocked and CASUAL can make it easy as all get out.
Introduction
CASUAL will guide you through the process. Put your device into “Developer Mode>USB Debugging”. Click the do it button. If you experience a problem, PLEASE USE THE PASTEBIN button to post a log. CTRL+L>Pastebin> come back here and press ctrl+V.

Windows 8 is supported but you must install drivers for Download Mode first. See this post
We managed to squeeze in support for Windows XP. Let me know how it works XP users.
Linux 32/64/raspberry pi Users There may be a permission escalation in order to install heimdall, either way sit back and relax. CASUAL automates the entire process. Please run the following in a terminal first:
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk gksu dpkg
Mac Users: Mac works easier than any other system at the time of this systems. Some Macs (especially Macbook Air) have a problem with USB port voltages and that causes the device not to be recognized.

This uses @djrbliss 's Loki Exploit. From what I've read TWRP will auto-lok anything you flash. It is practically the same as a bootloader unlock.

Can someone tell me the difference between this and bhp090808's one click 3 way tool?

i believe this does it all; it will root your phone; unlock the boot loader and install TWRP; the other one you have to have your phone rooted already and then pick which recovery you want to install (cmw or twrp)

This installs drivers
This troubleshoots problems
This single java executable works on Linux, Windows and Mac
This can be kill-switched on the fly (in case of auto-bootloader update from Samsung)
This can be updated on the fly
This will auto-log your problems to pastebin if an error is encountered so you can paste it here.
This uses a GUI and no command line
This give you Root and Recovery in a single click
This is easier/noob friendly/much more difficult to screw up.
This will check before doing things to make sure it doesn't damage a device it was not intended for.
I'm pretty sure I missed a few points.. CASUAL R527 stands for Cross-platform Android Scripting and Unified Auxilliary Loader - Revision 527.. We've been working on a lot of things that you just can't get from a simple batch file.
edit. Sorry I did not see your reply.
jm1999 said:
No sir, bhp090808's tool roots as well. The only difference I see it with bhp090808's tool you can install cwm or twrp. This tool only twrp.

I think (based on what I've read) CWM will auto-lok everything, I am not sure about TWRP, please could you confirm, thanks

Sorry bro, Replied before I saw your explanation. Thanks for your hard work!
cant wait to here some reviews before trying it; give it a day or two to make sure there are no bugs; can you always odin back to factory image?
There will always be the following problems:
User is using a bad USB cable/USB port and something didn't transfer
User has installed bad drivers on the computer and the device won't connect.
User has installed a virus scanner which wipes out the Android exploits before they are deployed to the device.
so just use a good USB cable. Uninstall any drivers you installed "for samsung mobile devices" especially, Disable your virus scanner before downloading CASUAL. I don't think the driver issue will be a massive problem as it is with the other devices because we're not using Odin mode here.

I prefer the KISS method. I'd rather have one known working CASUAL script to maintain and be able to repackage around any errors encountered. One app, one branch. it keeps things simple and there's no explaining necessary. If someone wants CWM, they can use the Android market to install Rom Manager. Otherwise, if there is a problem with TWRP, I can switch to CWM on this device.
I've been following all your hard work Adam, and I just wanted to say thank you. Its nice to see amazing developers stick around when sometimes they are bashed for their work. Thanks!

Doesn't look like LG have enabled this new option, either that or it is something individual apps have to update for.
I have contacted the developer of FolderMount and was provided a test build which works. Why not try yourself? I will feed back to the developer soon so there should be a fixed update soon!

I did some modifications to Bluetooth share in /system/app/Bluetooth.
But after that I pushed the app via adb...then a lot of error messages that said (Bluetooth Share Stopped).
Then I removed the modified Bluetooth app and pushed the stock one via adb and rebooted the device but the error message still appears although I make
1) wipe cache+dalvik
2) reflash the kernel
Why the error message still appears although I used the stock unmodified app.
Where is the problem?
Could someone help me with this problem?

Check your ROM zip for symlink. Different Bluetooth Sharing apk may require different different libbluetooth_jbi.so if linked to /system/app/Bluetooth/lib/arm folder from /system/lib/libbluetooth_jni.so For that reason, you have to watch for 0 bit lib files when pulling application from another ROM flashed on phone. (It may been a symlink if true).
Did you try verifying permissions and ownership and clearing data for Bluetooth Sharing and reboot?
Got a backup? If not, try dirty flashing ROM. You may just have to start over. Consider making a backup before making changes.

How to verify permission and ownership from terminal?
Yes I have a backup but I want to know more about the problem.
I have some logcat about the problem.
It may help to figure out what happened
And
Could be mismatch of apk and lib. Did you replace both and set a new link?
It's easy to set with a root browser.

I think the members moved on to oyher endeavors. Not much activity on the Sprint Note 4. However, I used this method posted by Lawyer-06 to port some system apps and CSC files from my stock rooted rom to a customer rom I was having issues with.

Nice tutorial share. Thanks for helping.
What may be missing is linking the lib so the application works. It's a matter of checking original file as installed on phone before replacing and duplicating with a root browser. Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option) and then browsing and selecting same folder location as seen from original link. Hint: the lib linking and appearance in its location will look the same when linked properly.
In the case of this thread, unzipping the ROM and reading the install scripts for proper linking may have been done to link the files after installing. The Bluetooth application simply needed to know where to get it's vital resources to work with. There are exceptions where replacing apk and lib, setting permissions, clearing data and rebooting aren't enough. Developers may write install scripts into patch zip accordingly as needed to get this done without a ROM update. Or even alternately in an aroma installer. Or those that test ROMs to support a developer may need to do this manually in that support capacity. Then again, it could be user in another country or region needing to make changes for themselves in order to use a developed ROM.

Sorry. Gotta say I'm not experienced with resolving an issue like this. Not sure what you're doing when getting this logcat? References to zipped files? Should they be zipped?
What I would do in a situation like this and ensure I've done everything properly. Could be a simple mistake.
Otherwise, no idea if this helps you or not but a little searching found this blog:
https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/08/classnotfoundexception-in-java-example.html?m=1
If Java tutorials makes sense to you, there's some suggested fixes to look into. Maybe it helps? Best wishes you resolve this and learn enough to help the next guy.

I just want to say, thank you samep. I really appreciate your input on this subject. Your way of explaining this is well put and your points are valid. Bluetooth issues is something I have not had in any custom rom as of yet. However, I like to be prepared and knowledge is power.
Thought I'd give a little of my personal background followed by a few questions. I have no formal education with computers or Android. Although, I have not been a member on XDA for very long, I have been on this site for many years. Having lost my previous N4,
the only n910ps for sale were on the latest update 5DQ15. The fused 5 aboot prevents downgrading to previous firmwares. No chance of downgrading the boot or modem without SW REV CHECK Odin fail. Fortunately, 6.0 MM roms can still be flashed. With every single custom rom I flashed, my hotspot settings disappeared, except stock rooted deodexed roms. in which the hotspot setting remained. I remember reading a post somewhere on XDA stating that it was in CSC others.xml so I copied the entire CSC in stock rooted rom to external sd then flashed the custom rom and with the tutorial in the link above I replaced the custom roms CSC's with the stock rooted CSC's. Rebooted to TWRP wiped dalvik /chache and booted the phone. My Hotspot now appeared in the custom rom settings. However, I am not questioning your information. In fact, I remember reading an XDA thread about custom rom development that specifically backs up what you stated. More to it than simple copy and past, Its just I didnt know any other way. Although this worked for me with setting option , I know the phones Bluetooth connection is a bit more intricate than a simple CSC others.xml.
Which brings me to my question and I quote "Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option)" What root browser do you recommend. This option is not provided as an option when I long press with my current root file manager. Yea, I know ES file manager has been kick of Google PS but Im still using it . LOL.. I wish to thank you ince again for your very informative posts.

I can appreciate your background and effort and even the experiences you share. Best wishes for your success.
I used to use script manager pro for a root browser. When I started working with developers in XDA, they pointed me to Root Explorer by speedsoftware (link below). I use it exclusively since and find it as capable as the other. I had gotten this one years earlier as a free promotional app on Amazon Prime through their Android app store. I was ecstatic when the developers of Root Explorer asked for my license key to transfer it to Google Play! Really? I asked, not expecting satisfaction, and they complied stating they've done it for others as well. It's their discretion and pleasure to do so. The app is still in Google Play; I get my updates there now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
But I haven't done much at all since leaving the Note 4 and Sprint. I forget so much when not using it. Sad but true and being honest. I miss those days but always wanted better data coverage and a faster phone. But even that's a work in progress.
