I think you have posted a wrong zip, first the size is not 1.03 gb and secondly it looks like is v5.0 instead 5.0.2

Nothing wrong was posted.

It's the 5.02 (full) OTA zip file for Shield TV 2015 16 gb version, the posted size is once downloaded.

Copied from my Shield TV 2015 yesterday after it was downloaded by the OS software update service.

There is no such "5.0" for Shield TV 2015 16 gb version, the first one is this one: 5.02.

...Or maybe Nvidia devs and Nvidia reps are not in sync in relation to OS upgrades nomenclatures. :D

Who said that i already upgraded to Nougat? ;)

I uploaded to MEGA the OTA file i got yesterday in my Shield TV 2015 16 GB but i didn't upgraded yet.

I'm not in a hurry to upgrade until i'm completely sure that i can update the old TWRP i have right now with the new hacked one and flash OTA and flash supersu from it without problems.

As i posted in my previous post a Nvidia rep made a sticky post announcing on Nvidia Geforce forums that the Shield TV 2015 (FINALLY) got the Nougat upgrade and labelled it 5.02 OTA upgrade and that upgrade is the one i posted.

This 5.02 OTA upgrade is pressumed to have the same fixes already added to 5.01 and 5.02 OTA fixes released for Shield TV 2017 version and therefore the proper number should be 5.02 and not 5.00 even on Shield TV 2015 16 GB.

If some Nvidia dev forgot to name the 2015 OTA properly as 5.02 (or 5.0.2) i can't help...:confused:

Hopefully for the Shield TV 2015 owners the Shield TV 2017 owners were the betatesters (5.00 and 5.01) and early adopters can skip 2 OTA versions bugs and get directly the 5.02 OTA version.

Great, many thanks!
I converted the contents to system.img and vendor.img.
This is in build.prop:
ro.build.display.id=NRD90M.1915764_835.9903
ro.build.version.incremental=1915764_835.9903
ro.build.version.sdk=24
ro.build.version.release=7.0
ro.build.date=Sun Jan 22 04:42:16 PST 2017
ro.build.version.ota=5.0(24.28.401.110)
So it is android 7.

I woke up this afternoon and i see this nice advice when i tried to watch some TV:

I checked then the downloaded OTA zip file and it's exactly the same name and size that i already uploaded to MEGA:

1,115,129,317 bytes

It's funny different file managers report the exact same size in bytes: 1,115,129,317 bytes but one (X-plore) say it's 1.04 GB and the other (Directory Opus) 1.03 GB:

Does anyone know if it's possible to flash this via Fastboot? I tried to downgrade a 2015 Shield TV from 5.0 to 3.3 to get DRM working again for the HDHomeRun Green app, and it won't boot now. I can get to the Fastboot menu but that's it. Of course Nvidia hasn't posted the 5.0 image for the 2015 Shield yet so I'm kind of stuck right now.

Is the 2017 firmware the same firmware that is used on the 2015 model?

My 2015 model is prompting me to update to firmware 5.02. Although mine is rooted so I don't think I can just let it update. Maybe I will just download the one from the original post. I don't see the 5.02 version available to download from their website.

You don't need the 5.0.(2) OS image if you want to downgrade to 3.3, simply flash the available 3.3.0 OS image.
Maybe you'll need the stock recovery flashed before but it's also available:

This is the OTA 5.02 for Shield TV 2015 16 GB, Nvidia will post it on his website in a week (more or less) as Nvidia rep said me in the official thread:

Usually it is about a week after a software OTA update has been released.

This is NOT the same firmware as 2017.

Don't try to flash this OTA file on a 2017 model it'll brick it.

It won't boot after flashing the full 3.3 image set ... that's why I wanted to try 5.0 .... perhaps something changed going from "M" to "N" ... and its preventing the downgrade. See others with the issue here:
