Beta Can't roll back to Leia Beta 4 from Beta 5 on Shield
#1
I'm trying to roll back to Beta 4 from Beta 5 for troubleshooting purposes but the system won't let me.  The Kodi Android installer acts like it installed Beta 4 but system information still shows Beta 5.  
I get an "app not installed" message when I try to side load Beta 4.  
Is there something special I need to do?  
Thanks

you need to uninstall the newer version
so backup your user folder and uninstall beta 5

Dang, I was hoping that wasn't the solution.  Kodi Backup doesn't backup everything (i.e. Cron commands).  
This is just a troubleshooting step so I'll probably hold off.

 There's a way to force a downgrade with adb.
Android doesn't let you go down when a version bump is done so you have to brute force it.
Read/follow the forum rules.

Thanks Martijn.  I haven't used ADB before. 
I think I'll wait until RC1 is released to see if it makes the problem go away unless someone chimes in on my other thread about Kodi stopping saying reinstalling Beta 4 would help with troubleshooting.
