The nvidia dabbler application doesn't work and I've read reports that the official nvidia shield tablet wireless controller doesn't work yet, but I'm not sure because I don't own one. You can still download the official nvidia apps like the grid game streaming. That still works. I don't really use my tablet for gaming (other then emulators) so I'm not exactly sure what still works and what doesn't.
I was following your guide up until the point where I needed to boot into Recovery. I did that and attempted to Wipe the device but it didn't work. My puppy got into the garbage and I ended up stepping away for about a half hour. When I returned the tablet was no longer on and when I booted it up I get stuck with the Nvidia startup followed by teamwin and "Running OpenRecovery Script" some error about something being wiped and the device turns off. It reboots and gets stuck in this cycle. I have no idea what to do please help.
You can try powering off the tablet and then holding "VOLUME DOWN" and press and release the "POWER" button while still holding the volume down button to boot and then try to access the recovery to see if you can sort things out.
You did it! I was able to delete the old information and boot into BlissPop. Thank you so much for the guide and help

Glad it worked.
let me guess, you received a new tablet from recall and got instructed to dispose of the old one
Out of curisity, did you manage to make tablet react with a popup when stylus is removed or run any nvidia apps ?

Good guess. I'm not sure about the stylus, but I got the nvidia app package installed and GRID still works. I'm not sure about PC Streaming because I never used that function. Oh, about the stylus, I've been told the dabbler (art/drawing) app doesn't work.
Damn that blisspop is friggin awesome, used to have cm but it can't even be compared to this one.
Anyway i'm only interested in it reacting when stylus is used or some performance tweaks maybe? that is batery saving etc.
Which pack did you use ?

Great guide, first one I could understand... But it seems that something went wrong, my shield keeps restarting after last step and giving error as follows in recovery:
E:Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E:Unable to mount storage
E:Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Full SELinux support is present
E:Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP.twrps when trying to read s
ettings file
Processing AOSP recovery commands...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
-- Wiping Data Patition...
Formatting Cache using make_ext4fs function.
E:Unable to mount '/data'
-- Data Partition Wipe Complete!
Done processing script file
Same happens when I'm trying to run recovery with pwr+volume down
Do you have any clue, what went wrong and how to deal with it?
//edited
I've found, how to do it - I had to do full wipe, not ordinary one
Again, thanks for this guide!

I had to type
fastboot -w
after I install the recovery image and before doing the wipe in TWRP.
I'm facing the same issue. How should I now proceed to do a full wipe. NST is stuck in a never ending bootloop. Please help.
Try to turn off tablet and launch it again using volume up + power button. Choose bootloader, proceed to "Wipe" and "full wipe". And after this, proceed all steps from the guide again (install BlissPop, BaNkS and SuperSU and then reset)
For anyone stuck in a bootloop and who cant get into recovery again.
go into the bootloader (turn off, hold power and volume down)
From the command-prompt on your computer type in
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
and then
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-shieldtablet.img
again.
That way you can get into recovery again.
When you get too the recovery choose format instead of wipe.
This worked for me after spending 2 hours trying to find a solution
And btw this is a dummy account i wont be able to respond to replies.
Forums that force you to create an account sucks!

Hey all, first thanks for the guide it was perfect. Although i ran into an issue with the "endless bootingloop" do to not being able to clear/wipe dalvik cache, data and internal storage properly or at all. No matter how I went about it it kept giving me errors. I ended up having to format the system (in TWRP and you have to type 'YES' for it to initiate the format) before it would let me clear/wipe these file/folders properly. Just wanted to share in case anyone else was having issues with this step.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time.
