I recently purchased a Nvidia Shield tablet and was happy to discover that some of the development aspects are pretty similar to Samsung devices. I wrote tutorials for several Samsung devices that detail this same process and thought it would be good to post one for the Nvidia Shield Tablet. :)
Now to start off, this does not automatically make you a Super Duper Developer, this does not show you how to make your own ROMs. What it does do is show you how to pull files from those stock leaked/official ROMs so that you can proceed to make yourself into a Super Duper Developer! ;)
In essence if the Developer knows what they are doing they could use this method to extract all the files from the build and could then add them to a ZIP and have a stock odexed ROM within minutes and do it all through Windows! :D
So let's begin!
We've all seen the stock restore images Nvidia provides. How often have you wanted to look inside them and see what is inside before flashing? There are several ways to do it and the most common answer requires Linux and other utilities. This tutorial gives you the ability to do that through Windows and without having to extract the full ROM. These instructions are specific to the Nvidia Shield Tablet but with some tweaking can be used on several devices.
Each stock restore release contains multiple files. Each of these files corresponds to a specific partition on your device. These files are formatted to be mounted by your device but not by a computer. We will be converting them from a .img partition type to an ext4.img type partition so we can mount them and read them through Windows. For this tutorial we will be opening up the system.img (the system files partition).
Before you dive in there are a few things you'll need.
- A PC running Windows.
- A stock Nvidia restore.
- DiskInternals Linux Reader (must be installed on the Windows PC). You can download DiskInternals Linux Reader here.
- SGS2toEXT4 Utility available here. *Be sure to extract the JAR file from the ZIP archive.
- 7-Zip available here.

Enjoy!
