I read here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield ... st71521210) that the kernel sources seems to be online.

I think here: https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload

It would be nice to see an update.

you can still use Marshmallow boot from usb and Marshmallow system and vendor on an usb disk.

In this way you have Nougat on internal disk and when you want Marshmallow with LXC on external usb disk.

Is easly switch boot images with the app that i posted before.

do what you want but don't downgrade the bootloader.

the kernel and boot image is only for Shield TV. You can't use it on others devices.
