Ok I was able to get blisspop 3.8 on my nvidia shield using this awesome guide. how do we update to the latest build? i noticed the lag and skipping on videos and music while on bluetooth. was wondering if 3.9 might improve things? anyone assist with directing me on how to update would be appreciated.
Thank you
I received my new Nvidia Shield Tablet (replacement program) and do exactly what you said and for me it's perfect !
I don't have an SD card but I put all the zip and img files to the download directory of the tablet and it works fine.
You have to know if you use Windows 10 to see your tablet on the system you have to deactivate the "check drivers ..." of Windows.
To do that, restart your computer with shift, then choose troubleshoot, then Advanced options, then startup settings, restart, and then F7 key, and then restart.

How long does the installation?
I'm flashing the first zip file (blisspop) an the duration is very long (>30min) and i cant see any finish ^^
the log writes following:
{*} Running backup scripts
...
{*} done.
{*} Following operation takes time, pülease wait....
{*} Installation is block based
patching system image unconditionally...
In the bottom is the progressbar alwasy running thats about 30mins :/

Thank you for the great manual!
After and actually during the flashing, I ran across a problem.
The right side of the screen went black during booting and TWRP. Once booted i have a full screen working but the right side is 'flashing / flickering' around 40(??)fps (VERY annoying).
It's an Nvidia shield marked for the kill switch but I flashed it when it was still working fine.
I couldn't find anybody else with the same problem so I hope somebody can help me.
I'm going on holidy the next couple of days so i'll be back monday!

Sry I`m not a pc pro and I dont understand how to do or how you mean this step: ,,Next you'll want to extract the contents of "SHIELDTablet_WHQL_USB_driver.zip" into "c:\fastboot\normal". You'll also want to place the 'twrp-2.8.7.1-shieldtablet.img' into the "c:\fastboot" directory for easy flashing´´ Pls help me!!
Double Click on the "SHIELDTablet_WHQL_USB_driver.zip" file and drag the contents (all of the files in the ZIP) to the folder "c:\fastboot\normal" and then place the file "twrp-2.8.7.1-shieldtablet.img" into "c:\fastboot". If you double click on the ZIP and it asks for a program then go download WinRAR (www.rarlabs.com).
Ty very much. Good tutorial.
Maybe you can update about the 'fastboot -w' (I had the same problem).
Anyway, a Noob question:
I installed the 'BlissPop-v4.0.3-shieldtablet-OFFICIAL-20151017-1436'.
Now the BlissPop itself shows there are a update 'BlissPop-v4.0.3-shieldtablet-OFFICIAL-20151126-0129'.
By the tablet I did the download, I checked the MD5 and finally I ask to install.
The tablet rebots, but the TWRP takes the control.
I ask reboot/system and I come back to BlissPop, yet in the old version...
So:
How to update the ROM?
Can't I update from the BlissPop and I need to redo all the process to update the ROM?
Can I remove the TWRP?
