you can downgrade, but right after you start up it'll auto-upgrade to 3.0 again so pretty pointless.
what if i flash the 2.1 firmware, flash twrp right after and restore a backup from 2.1 with data, so that it doesnt force the update?

I have figured out how to roll back to Lollipop.

First download the ROM nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-upgrade2_1_dev_rooted.zip.
Next download twrp-multirom-20151112-UNOFFICIAL-foster.img.
Boot SATV into Fastboot.
Extract and flash staging blob, boot.img, system.img, userdata.img (this will wipe the internal storage) and dtb file.
Reboot back into Fastboot.
Flash TWRP then boot directly into recovery (do not reboot).
From TWRP mount system as read-write.
Use the file manager to navigate to /system/app/TegraOTA.
Delete all files within the folder TegraOTA.
Reboot normally and go through the first time setup wizard. SATV will not download the OTA update and remain on 5.1 Lollipop.

Problem recover.

Hello i dont know if i in the right Thread here.
I unlocked BOOTLOADER and installed lineage OS 15.1.
And decided that i wanted to go back to stock.
I dowloaded shield-atv-2017 and followed the fastboot guide and transfered all the img to my 2017 nvidia.
When i reboot the message appears that BOOTLOADER is unlocked and after a few sec it shows the nvidia logo and then nothing...

Please help me....
