In this episode XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan shows you how to root your Nvidia Shield. The Nvidia Shield is a device that is in a classification of it’s own. There is really nothing else like it, and that is a good thing. But as usual at XDA, we must root all the things and the Shield is no exception to that!
Jordan presents step by step instructions on how to gain root access and unlock the bootloader on your NVidia Shield using tools from the XDA Developers Forums. First Jordan shows you how to unlock the device, then gain root access. If you are having trouble installing the proper drivers on Windows 8, Jordan recommends checking out wwJoshdew’s video. So take a moment and check this video out.
