Will this wipe the current ROM back to new installation? I've used WinDroid a few months ago to root my Moto X Style (Pure) and I recall it wiping my ROM to a fresh installation. Just asking because it took me a while to install all of the current Apps and Kodi add-ons.
My main reason for wanting to root is to sideload Greenify and AdAway so that Nvidia TV will run more smoothly. Any ideas?

Yes, unlocking the bootloader, which is required to root, will wipe the ROM.

Is it not just like a factory reset, it will erase all your data so it will be like starting from new again but with a unlocked bootloader.

Thank you for your kit. Please did you ever make a flashing guide as stated in the main thread ?

It should be working fine. The toolkit uses this method to unlock and root, and it's seems people had success with it.

Not sure but it says offline the entire time but if I run adb devices I see the serial number of my shield
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------
I tried the nvidia drivers and the universal ones. Both work with adb manually but with the tool it will only see my shield in fastboot. The funny thing is I can root it manually if I just had a damn wired mouse hahaha

does this work for anyone?

That's odd. Sometimes when multiple instances of ADB are running the toolkit has a hard time recognizing devices. Go into Task Manager and end any adb.exe or fastboot.exe processes you see running then see if the toolkit will recognize your device.
