NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Developer Firmware 6.3.0 Description

This is a developer only version of the Software Upgrade 6.3.0 OS image for the NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV Pro (500GB version). This version is not for general users and consumers and may allow unauthorized access to user data. Only install this image if you are a developer and have fully read and understood the risks of using this OS image with your device.

NOTE: On the SHIELD Android TV Pro 500GB edition, two steps of the flash process may take a very long time. The first time you apply a custom OS image, you must execute fastboot oem unlock which securely erases the user data partition and can take up to two hours. Additionally, each time the user data partition is flashed with fastboot flash userdata userdata.img it must be erased which can take up to an hour.

Download the ZIP file, unzip and follow the instructions. The Windows USB drivers for "fastboot" and "adb" are available separately: download NVIDIA SHIELD Family ADB USB Driver 1.06.2015.

About Gaming Console Firmware:

About Gaming Console Firmware:

Upgrading the firmware version on your gaming console might enhance the unit's overall performance and stability, include workarounds for various issues, and improve different features (or add support for new ones).

In addition to that, if you have updated the firmware and it either faulty or has caused a drop in the overall performance of the device, applying a previous version is handy as regards recovering the console's functionality. On the downside, downgrading the firmware isn't always possible.

When it comes to applying a certain firmware, as this process is not without risks most of the times, it is recommended that this task be initiated by a power user in a steady power environment, such as the one provided by a UPS unit. However, the installation can also be performed by a regular user at their own risk.

As for the installation method, given the large variety of gaming consoles and the various ways for applying a firmware, before even considering an upgrade or a downgrade, it's best that you carefully read and understand the installation steps, and initiate the process only once you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

That being said, if you have duly considered all these aspects, either click on the download button to get the present release, or check with our website as often as possible to find out first when the firmware that you desire is available.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
