I understand the situation with the Android 7.0 update for shield tablets. You're curious about using recovery files from NVIDIA instead of the OTA method, especially if you're offline. It's good to consider native features before rooting. Regarding flashing 7.0 files, it might be possible depending on your device and network conditions. If you're in an area without data, flashing the 7.0 files could work. As for rooting, using native features before unlocking is a valid approach if you're comfortable with the process. Locking the bootloader via Fastboot OEM lock can cause issues if you're not careful, so proceed with caution. Let me know if you need more details!
