Whatever resolution/color space I choose in Kodi or SPMC I can't have 4k GUI. If I connect Shield directly to TV I have 4k60 Hz resolution and 4k GUI in SPMC or Kodi, why I can't have it in 4k30hz?

HDMI 1.4 is limited to 4K@30Hz Max (bandwidth limitation). The HDMI 1.4 AVR is what your Shield is HDMI Handshaking with and reading valid Display Modes from on Bootup.
The interesting test is going to be Netflix that needs HDCP 2.2 for 4K Streaming Output. Your 1.4 AVR will not have HDCP 2.2
Have a read here all about Mixed mode HDMI / HDCP connections with Netflix and Amazon Video in this Monoprice page:

Well, from that link Netflix will not work in 4k; also that converter it's not a downscaler.
Not even HDFury Integral it's sure will work with 1 HDMI 1.4 300Mhz and other 600Mhz HDMI 2.0, it requires a Linker. Best answer is here:

I solved at last 4k30p problem. I put cable to TV, selected 4k30p resolution on Shield and after that in Kodi and SPCM, change cable to AVR, change resolution in Shield to 4k30p and in Kodi/SPCM it appeared and stayed.
Many dubious things with reported GUI in Kodi/SPCM not that transmited to TV. A funny image sayes all:

So I had 4k/24p resolution at TV and no option in GUI (reported Kodi resolution was 4k24p).
I tested if resolution is indeed 4k with patterns (alternate black/white 1px lines) and it's ok for now, just that changing GUI resolution doesn't change TV input (framerate changes).
I think advancedsettings.xml is mandatory, I had buffering issues (again, ethernet 1gb), after that no more buffering.
And one funny thing: opening a 24GB ISO (Spears and Munsil 2) from network or USB3 takes about 30-40 seconds in SPCM, 20 seconds in Kodi and 5 seconds on my old Egreat R6A2 (Realtek 1185).
Thanks.
