Notes
TWRP builds for this device are based on LineageOS device trees.
LineageOS/TWRP builds for this model target the foster device tree.
TWRP (foster) names SHIELD Android TV 2015, 2015 Pro, and 2017. LineageOS foster also names 2019 Pro.
LineageOS also ships a tablet-UI build of the same hardware, not a separate device. Its TWRP page is the 2019 unit.
LineageOS 14.1, 15.1, 17.1, 18.1, and 20 are available. Install with fastboot.
ADB debloat does not root the device.
