Windows 8.1 Nvidia Shield Driver FIX! topic

(I just want to state im no divoluper nor do I claim responsibility to what you do to your computer/devices. i'm a tinkerer, a jack of all trades, and a master of none. i'm just here trying to help others where we keep failing! Tinker On!)

So I found a driver for Windows 8.1 64bit that FINALLY after a day of messing with it, was successfully able to update the driver for the fastboot portion in Device Manger for the Nvidia Shield. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. I have a Lenovo Y500 Dual GT650 SLI laptop and for the LIFE of me, no matter what I tried it didnt work. this is finally the fix for ME at least...my computer recognizes fastboot on both 3.0 and 2.0 USB ports (;

Step 1 - With Shield plugged in, Uninstall any previous drivers for adbfastboot (universal adb) Via Device Manager - (Start+E) then click Manage at the top, then Device Manager once computer management is open.

Step 2 - Unplug Shield, then move your mouse to the bottom right of the screen so the side panel pops up. Click ("Settings"), then ("Change PC Settings"), ("Update and Recovery"), ("Recovery"), ("Advance Startup Restart now"), ("Troubleshoot"), ("Advanced Options"), (Startup Settings"). then ("Restart"). Once your computer restarts you should see a list of options, you want to click number 7, Disable Signature Enforcement.

Step 3 - Once your computer starts back up, download and extract the FOLDER from this ZIP to your DESKTOP http://www.mediafire.com/download/i3...vers_Win81.zip

Step 4 - Open Device Manager again, and Plug in your shield. Wait for the drivers to install like normal. if you see any exclamation points, right click the device, hit ("Update Driver Software"), then ("Browse my computer for updated driver software"), then ("Browse") then click "Desktop" and the ADB Driver folder then click next and it should pop up RED saying Install or Not install. you obviously want to install...Click next and you should be good! Now to check fastboot! LEAVE DEVICE MANAGER OPEN!

Step 5 - Unplug and Turn off your shield and hold the back/home buttons and press the Nvidia key, this will put you into fastboot. Once your IN fastboot plug your shield back into your pc. it should install the WRONG driver for fastboot and should show an Exclamation point again, just follow step 4 again and it should update it to the correct driver then Wallah! You should be able to use Hexitnow's Toolkit "Shield Ram" Flawlessly! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2661067

Hopefully this works for you guys, it worked for me twice, I uninstalled everything and did it again and she booted into fastboot using his tool and then rebooted once in fastboot. I was then able to Unlock the Bootloader, install CWM and Root Fine Just fine!

Ultimate Shield for LG g pad 8.3 topic

I bought clear protective shield from a company based on UK called the Ultimate Shield. If you guys are familiar with the products from Bodyguardz, its pretty much same product.

I ordered it from ebay and the price is AU .99.

It comes with installation guide, small lint free cloth, squeegee and the product itself. The clear shield comes in total of 7 pieces.

1. screen
2. main back cover (covers metal backing)
3. bottom back (back of the device below the metal backing)
3. bottom
4. top back
6. top 1(ear phone socket)
7. top 2

Hopefully this will give you the idea where each pieces go.

This is somewhat different with normal screen protectors we see and the installation procedure may feel radical.
Not like others, this requires water for the installation(soapy water to be accurate). With the water applied at the back of the shield, you can quite easily move it around into correct position and it starts to adhere to the device as it dries.

The fitting was quite good and I was very satisfied with all the cut outs for speakers, camera, SD card slot and ear phone jack.
I had no problem with installation at the back (2~7), but I had some imperfection at the screen, but the installation guide says some imperfection will be clear within 1~3 days so I'll wait and see.

If there is anyone looking for a protection that does not add any weight and size, I think this is pretty good choice.

I also ordered a case from ebay and see the device fits with the clear shield.

Using built-in Hotspot with Hotspot Shield topic

I've successfully using the Hotspot VPN Shield with Wifi-Tether to allow me to circumvent T-Mobile's restrictions, but now cannot get the wifi-tether to work on my HTC One, so I'm using the built-in Hotspot.

The problem with the built-in Hotspot is after starting the VPN Shield, it does not re-route or disguise my traffic, so I'm taking back to the T-Mobile upsell message.

How can I use the built-in hotspot and the hotspot shield like it's used with wifi-tether?
