I tried this a bit.

Holding << immediately after selecting Factory reset menu doesn't help.

However, turn it off and then hold << while power it on will revert the
firmware to the previously installed version. As long as you haven't
upgraded the UE Smart Radio firmare after you initially switched to it,
this will return it to the Squeezebox firmware. After returning to
Squeezebox firmware a reboot will turn it back to UE Smart Radio, so
while it's using Squeezebox firmware you need to do something to make it
stick. I did a firmware upgrade to the same version already installed
and that made it stick when I rebooted it next time, I guess there is
probably some hidden keyboard command to make it stick without having to
do a firmware upgrade.

On mysqueezebox.com it works like this.
- When you have selected to upgarde to UE Smart Radio a new menu will
appear on the Squeezebox which you need to select to upgrade.
- After upgrading there is no way to access any settings on
mysqueezebox.com.
- If you rollback the firmware as described above, to turn it into a
Squeezebox, you can access its setting on mysqueezebox.com again (after
a factory reset) and cancel the upgrade to UE Smart Radio and this will
also make the "Upgrade to UE Smart Radio" menu item disappear from the
Squeezebox screen again.

So to sum it up, the << operation will work for now, but if you stay on
UE Smart Radio for a while so Logitech publish a new firmware version
which you upgrade to, I believe you will have to use the manual method
to get back to Squeezebox firmware. I can confirm that the manual method
works, just tried it in my own setup.

Hopefully Logitech realize that a geeky solution like the above won't
work for normal users and soon publish a better solution for people that
regret the UE Smart Radio "upgrade".
