Blast. Just received my Nvidia Shield TV/PC 2017 16GB. It is in Chinese, only options when starting are Chinese, Taiwanese, English, then you have to register to a Chinese video company named iQiyi (I did), then it upgrades to version 6.1 (24.31.89.60) which still has all the Chinese [email protected], half of the interface is Chinese, no Google, etc.
Question:
1) Can I convert to an international version ? How ?
2) Do I need the public open source recovery image (e.g. 6.2.0) at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-open-source or the developer one at https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images ?
3) Do I just follow http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ATV_2017/6.2.0/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt ?
4) Which USB OTG is appropriate for the 2017 version ? (there is no mini USB port)
5) Can I do anything else instead (as I might have to wait for days for an USB OTG cable) ? I.e. can I connect to the Nvidia Shield from an Android smartphone and adb/fastboot from there ?
Thanks
(also, please somebody move this to https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help )
Hi.
Isn't the Chinese version supposed to be compatible with the Nintendo wii games?
And yeah I think you should be able to flash the normal version of the fw.
Yes, it should but I went with NVS for retro gaming and media playing.
I never managed to install (through Magisk) Kali on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone (complains about busybox), so I guess my only choice is to wait for that Male-Male USB cable to arrive, then try connecting/flashing with a computer

Hi,
Can you manage to port Nintendo games to international version ?
Thx.
I have to add that connecting to NVS through USB using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 didn't work. After a struggle, I managed to install Kali NetHunter but "adb devices" does not return anything. Due to bad weather I will have to wait for that USB cable in order to connect from my computer, that's all I can do
@A.M.A.S
I haven't bought anything from iQiyi, since my goal of purchase was not about Nintendo. The interface is localised to Chinese anyway, and the content and payment options are for Chinese users. As far as I can tell, the Chinese version is being advertised as a device to buy/play Nintendo games. And that's what early buyers seem to do (judging from most comments), but China never had a culture for Computers and games back in the day (they were banned), so it doesn't surprise me that they only care/know about Nintendo and some boring 3D FPS stuff of the new millennium. Being an old-school guy from the 80s, my heart is elsewhere.
After the USB OTG arrived I was able to flash the international image (6.2.0) from Nvidia using my Mac. I had some trouble with vendor.img (hint: it needs to be in the same directory as the fastboot command) among other things (for hardware booting to bootloader using the controller buttons it is try-and-error, the entrance to recovery menu is rather unintuitive, etc) but all is well now. The hardware performance is good, the fan is not that bad (still wish there was a fanless case), the controller and remote DO feel a bit cheapish, Android TV and its apps ARE rather limited and rough at edges. I will probably keep it.
Mind if I ask where'd you buy it from? I'm thinking of getting a chinese one for myself.
The Chinese 6.1 image is up on Nvidia's download site, if you want to give it a try. I wouldn't flash the bootloader tho'.

@batoussai
I am in China for the time being, so I bought it locally.
@zadox
I'm in the same situation like you. I tried to install the Google Apps on the chinese ROM but they keep crashing and the pop-up is annoying. So I'm ready to flash the international ROM.
Would you link me to the OTG cable? I can't seem to find the proper one on JD or Taobao.

Thanks! I succesfully updated it. With VPN directly on the router all the services work. Even though when you power on the box it still displays the chinese store logo, the rest is the international ROM. I am loving this box.
The only thing I couldn't manage to work is GeForce NOW. Heck, I think even in US it's not so easy to stream HD games. I could only get 540p at 30 fps
On the same note, I think anyone could try flashing the chinese ROM to the international box to try out those Nintendo games, but probably would need a VPN to a China server to make it work.

migmanson, how much do these boxes cost in RMB? I may need to get my mother-in-law to pick one up this week before she heads to the US.
Guys, thanks for sharing your experience. I planned to buy NVS (now I'm in China) but they (TaoBao bandits) wanted something like 1700-1800 RMB and 2 to 3 weeks for delivery and no guarantees at all, so I bought Chinese version (fair price 1499RMB, I found from private seller just unpacked for 1299RMB) - Replaced the firmware with 6.2.0 International version - all worked flawless, so - I can also confirm - no problem to upgrade Chinese version to International one. Bootloader was locked, after reinstall I lock the new one too. Thanks for that thread again!
anyone can read chinese.. try this apk i got from the firmware zip.
It's the store.. might work on non chinese shields..
https://ufile.io/pranm
will any DRM key missing?
I have both international & Chinese version running in my home.
For the Chinese one, upgraded to the latest 6.3 version firmware. Install Google firmware enabler through external USB. Then you are all set with google play store.
Having tried flashing the Chinese version with international firmware. All work but Netflix app cannot be controlled properly by remote.
Mind if I ask how you got the US version to run under Chinese net? I'm about to set up the vpn on my router because I bought the US version of Nvidia shield. What vpn are you running on your router?

Hi, I bought a US version of Nvidia shield just to avoid all the Chinese content. Problem is, I couldn't even register. I'm trying to setup a VPN on my router now through express. Can you please tell us how you flashed the router with a vpn and which brand? I'm dying to using it and this internet is just frustrating...
Also, I'm a little new to flashing software onto these drives. Can you please tell us how you installed the international version from the Chinese version or vise versa?
Thanks a lot

I'm running psfreedom on my incredible but is there a new update out that uses hermes v4 for firmware spoofing.
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestions.

There's a custom payload feature on psfreedom.
BTW spoofing is pointless
does the custom payload on psfreedom work on games that require 3.42 or higher I new at this but if you look at the plam pre psfreedom wiki they have an option for hermes v4 and the incredible doesn't have that listed I think it has to do with and option during booting. I'm not interested in online play just playing backups that require 3.42 upgrade. Any help is appreciated.

NO. It does nothing except makes your ps3 believe its running 3.55 so that it won't update. Unless you have idiot friends that would update your firmware there is no use for it. No online play or anything like that. Hold on tight though looks like they make have a fully hacked ps3 soon. Meaning any updates Sony could push would be pointless. Right now sony is still winning this battle. (Ok they are really getting slaughtered but the available hacks aren't for everybody)
Cyberskunk has been a busy late-night compiler, and decided to give everyone a chance to use the v3.55 Spoof!
Here is the 3.55 spoof for hermes and the PL3 set on all boards..
Decided to make these up since it was a fairly simple trick they've used..
Like the 'official' PS3Yes and E3 releases..
All it does is spoof firmware v3.55 to stop someone accidentally updating your PS3..
Enjoy

Try Multiman. Much better. But its supposed to go back to xmb. Once back to xmb it should show up as the disk thats in the Ps3. Lets say your have MAG in your ps3 and Tiger Woods saved to your hard drive. When booting jailbreak mode MAG should be under games. After loading Tiger Woods it will go back to XMB and Tiger Woods will now show up where MAG was. Also make sure you have a ps3 game in the ps3. You cannot do it without.
My problem is two games when I load them work just fine but the rest once I launch them in opembm then select the game in the xbm it goes to black screen then after a few seconds back to the xbm. whatever game I'm starting that disc shows in the xbm and it just doesn't start.

Hi guys,
coming from windows mobile I´m pretty much a noob in bada, so I have still questions about the standard behavior of the phone. first of all, is there automatic backlight adjustment?
I´m having further problems with the samsung tv remote app. i downloaded it on the appstore. It says that it is working with the wave II s8530 and my tv (samsung le37b650). sending videos and pics through allshare works fine (tv found), but tv remote app won´t find my tv. help is much appreciated
cheers ede
ps.: funny thing is ... using the htc-diamond for about 3 years the wave II is weak at all the points the diamond is good (outlook-sync, navigation, gps) and extreamly strong on all the negative aspects of the htc-diamond (battery, photos, mp3 & video playback). appstore, and widgets are pretty poor but i hope there is a possibility to create own widgets (or maybe i find a non-childish-looking-calender app somewhere) ... hopefully someone can give me a hint on how to delete all the vodafone apps on my phone or on how to flash the latest fw with social hub premium working
is you phone branded???
if not there is alot of modified fws floating around on our thread choose what fits you and flash it
thank you for your quick reply
yes it has a vodafone branding ...
this seems to be the only fw with social hub premium working http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=920 but it is for the Wave 8500 not for my model.
any suggestions on what fits me - or help where i can find info to make up my mind?
oh sorry for late reply
i can't help you
you must (Debrand)unlock the phone first because if you flashed the phone now it will brick
if you did that come to this thread again and i will help you right away
i am not sure if you can flash a branded phone or not but no one tried as it is dangerous
mhh ok i´ll see what i can do. thank you.
ps: it has a vodafone branding but no simlock or netlock
SW ver S8530BUJK4
CSC ver S8530VFGJK5

Could someone post the last apk for Samsung Remote app 2.1.3? I dont seem to be able to get it from Market...
Hey everyone,
I have a Mach Speed Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 that was essentially bricked when it was given to me, and did a bunch of research, including disassembly, I found some info printed on the mainboard and was able to determine the Chinese manufacturer.
As it turns out Mach Speed is merely an importer. This Tablet was actually manufactured by Wintouch in China.
What is even more interesting is that instead of it having 8gb of internal memory, it actually has 16gb.
I was able to obtain the stock firmware img from Wintouch and loaded it to a microSD card using PhoenixCard 3.09.
Once I slapped it in the tablet, it ticked it's happy way into a new image. Another interesting point is that the tablet language default was Arabic, and I had to actually reset it with adb shell.
setprop persist.sys.language en; setprop persist.sys.country us
The proper firmware image is Q91A30321.img. WIFI/Bluetooth, audio, everything works! There is a later firmware Q91J30412.img but I think this is for the Stealth Pro 9.7c tablet, do not grab this one as the orientation no longer works. Another thing is that the image from Wintouch seems to be a heck of a lot better performance wise. You can get the firmware from the manufacturers site, if you cant read Chinese just open the URL in chrome and go to the download page & translate it.
I figured I'd put this up here for posterity, incase anyone else had this annoying thing.
If you have any questions, let me know!
Hammerite, is there any way you could provide a link to the website or upload it here? I am in the same situation with a dead trio except that I have the 9.7c Any idea if this would work for it?
Went here: h t t p ://xxx.wintouch.ae/?page_id=126 but it is in Chinese. Could you upload both of the img files that you mentioned? thanx
Finally
To find that img file just google the name.
I sure hope you're right, because I've been looking for this firmware to fix a friend's Trio Stealth for a very long time. If this works you're a real lifesaver!
Crap! It didn't work on my Stealth 9.7. The search continues.

Chuwi Vi8 Questions?
Thank you very muchfor the great review zijin_cheng
I have some questions about this great tablet, i would really appreciated if you can answer
what is the available free space in Windows and Android partitions?
Is it possible to remove Android partition and extending Windows partition?
Is there any recovery partition, if yes, how much space is allocated by recovery?
Is it possible to install windows 10 to this tablet?
Is it possible to use WIMBOOT method for more free space?

No problem!
- It started with about 7GB free on Windows, and 4GB free on Android. 13GB total is allocated to the C:\ drive on Windows, and 7GB total for the Android partition.
- At the moment no, but I'm quite sure some resourceful XDAer will figure out a way.
- Yes, its 7GB (5.43GB + 1GB)
- Yes, but I believe that it will be more difficult due to the dual boot nature of this tablet
- I'm not sure, I haven't tried. However, I followed this guide to get more free space (as I also have the Asus T100)
Thank you very much
Nice cross-post from RFD, and great review!!
The Chuwi (and most other tablets like this) use WIMBOOT, where the recovery partition *is* the OS drive, and and changes and patches get saved to the C: to preserve the installation for recovery when needed.
There have been multiple successful attempts to install Windows 10, you need an OTG adapter so you can use a USB stick and a mouse/keyboard. General consensus is it works well, but probably best to wait for a later or full release version. A Google search will find you instructions though if you're looking to
do it immediately.
As for partition removal, I haven't really seen it discussed, but I'm sure there's a utility to nuke the unwanted partitions. Though you could just order the single OS version that only comes with Windows, but that model is missing the microHDMI.
Hello everybody,
just bought this tablet with dual boot. So in case if I want to reinstall the installed windows 8.1, how can I do it? After the reinstall, will the android system still be there?
Thanks
from singleboot to dualboot?
Hi! I also have this amazingly cheap tablet but I ordered it when the dualboot was not in stock.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to actually make my windows 8.1 table into a dualboot with android.
I have downloaded android x86 and installed it on a partition but I just cant find out how to actually make the UEFI-bios boot from it. Also since I wasnt unable to boot from usb (no matter what settings I changed in the bios) I couldn't install the android system straight off the bootable usb so i installed it on another system and copied the contents to the new partition. I imagine that it wont work even if I actually succeed to make it boot from another partition.
Has anyone tried to install android as a second OS in this tablet? Please tell me how :S
Best regards
Matthew
The HDMI out on this unit, is it strictly mirror, or does it have the ability to show two separate Desktop?

Hey man, I'm believe so, but you have to make sure you choose the correct option when you go into the "factory reset" portion of the tablet itself.

So far all the videos of this tablet have only shown mirroring, no extended desktops, but I'm sure it can be done, if not with Windows maybe another piece of software.
Bluetooth keyboard on Chuwi Vi8
Hi guys, This a pretty silly questions, I wonder if anybody with this tablet has bought it whit the Chinese Bluetooth keyboard, and knows whether there is any way to use ESC and function buttons that appear in blue, on the upper keys. Using Fn+ any of these keys would do whatever but ESC or F1, F2, F3 etc. For instance, key 0... Fn+0 = Volume down, but not F10.
I have searched about this on the internet but haven't got any info.
Does anybody have the same issue? It'pretty frustrating when using excel on windows 8.1. I. I have the dual boot version whatsoever.
Cheers
Very good tablet, but last week I bought a Onda V919 3G Air, otherwise, I will buy this tablet.

Hey man I haven't bought the bluetooth keyboard with the Chuwi, but I've had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general as only basic keys work such as letters, shift, not even ctrl sometimes. Did the keyboard come with any software? Try to google the brand and see if there are any drivers.
And you're using excel on your Chuwi? Props! That's difficult!

Thanks for the response!
Well, it doesn`t have a brand serial number or anything, I guess it is just generic hardware, it works very well, but anyways, maybe the ESC and Function buttons are fake.
In that case, there might be an app to reassign keys, I will check that.
And yes, using excel with chuwi, just to input lab data on the go, and analyse it with some charts, not a big deal.
I have this tablet and this is sick man its incredible that I have boot os on just one table this tablet would be perfect ithey would be with 64gb internal storage that of couse next gen will it have it .

Decent enough for the price I paid.
Two gripes I do have, even so.

I think the Chuwi Vi8 only supports screen mirroring, you'll need to find another piece of software
It's the USB OTG cable itself, you need one that supports both, something like this:

Hello. I Chuwi vi8 only with win 8. You can do dual boot OS? thanks
Does anyone else have this? I can connect it etc., but cant seem to get it to work with any games?

I tried to read some of the instructions which came with the Betop G1 in Chinese. Seems that the Betop G1 requires Huawei Game Suite version 9.xx to work.
I accidentally removed my Game Suite.
Can some kind soul please direct me to the APK for the version 9.x of Huawei game suite? I downloaded the version 8.x but it doesn't have keymapper. The version 9 seems to have keymapper.
Here's an excerpt from the manual, translated:

Q2. After the handle is connected to the mobile phone, the rocker and other operations do not respond?
a. The Beitong G1 controller is currently only applicable to Mate and P series mobile phones of Huawei EMUI9.0 and above;
b. Please call the Huawei Mobile App Assistant mapping page to check whether the mapping settings are correct.

Yes, it seems to ONLY work with SOME of the Chinese games in there. I can't even try those because I cant understand what the prompts are in those games to move forward. Guess it's going back.

I tried to read some of the instructions which came with the Betop G1 in Chinese. Seems that the Betop G1 requires Huawei Game Suite version 9.xx to work.
I accidentally removed my Game Suite.
Can some kind soul please direct me to the APK for the version 9.x of Huawei game suite? I downloaded the version 8.x but it doesn't have keymapper. The version 9 seems to have keymapper.
Here's an excerpt from the manual, translated:

Q2. After the handle is connected to the mobile phone, the rocker and other operations do not respond?
a. The Beitong G1 controller is currently only applicable to Mate and P series mobile phones of Huawei EMUI9.0 and above;
b. Please call the Huawei Mobile App Assistant mapping page to check whether the mapping settings are correct.

Thanks for these. The second link seems to backup what I said about CERTAIN games and in Chinese. The first one is for Non-Huawei phones, but I'll try it anyway and post results. Thanks again.

Grabbed it, thank you very much. Hopefully when my pad comes it will do the job!
I have that installed (there's a newer version) but it doesn't help
What games have you tried?
Any update on this guys? I am planning to buy betop g1 for my mate 20 pro. If i can only use it on chinese apps and cannot use it for other games such as pubg, war robots etc., i will just cancel the order. It will be a complete waste of money.
Any update guys if you can use the bluetooth controller to other non chinese games? Thanks a lot.
PubG, Fortnite, etc. DEFINITELY not. There is some Chinese knockoff game of PubG in the Chinese app store, but I cant understand the prompts to get it to work. Save your money.

Returning mine
The other controller listed on our phone will not fit. The W1 is about 6mm from opening up wide enough to slide in. But the few games I checked seem to work.
I will just cancel ny order guys. Thanks for the heads up! Will just wait until they release english website for the betop and allow the usage english apps. Thanks
There's a newer version of Huawei Appassistant 9.0.0.309 available to download somewhere?
I now have the Gamepad so want to test the latest version. My version has the overlays but still doesn't work.
Apparently there is a 9.0.0.311 out there somewhere...
