14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA has made available the download links for its stock recovery and developer-only 5.1.0 firmware packages compatible with the SHIELD Android TV, SHIELD Android TV Pro, and SHIELD TV 2017 devices, which improve the overall system performance and stability.
This new upgrade adds rumble support for GeForce NOW, which allows dual vibration feedback with the new SHIELD controller. This new feature can be used in games like Tomb Raider, ABZU, and LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens.
In addition to that, version 5.1.0 implements support for encrypted VP9 with subsampling, improves Amazon Video surround sound and remote control responsiveness, and allows users to play new games (Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Just Cause 2, and Diluvion).
When it comes to installation, you should know that NVIDIA has provided both the OTA (Recovery OS) and Developer Only (rooted) images for each Android TV console; make sure to get the correct one for your device.
Moreover, it is highly recommended that you understand and familiarize yourself with the update steps before initiating the flash process. Failing to complete the upgrade can lead to various device malfunctions or even brick your console.
With this in mind, it would be an excellent idea to read the How to Flash NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Recovery Image instructions, to make sure no problems are encountered.
