Q5 / Q10 4K3D CS Custom Firmwares

[futeko.com]

Decided to give the custom firmware a try, But it seems to completely cork the LCD screen on the front of the box. I get all kinds of squiggly stuff on boot and once fully loaded its blank.

I've just tested Q10 CS on a Q10 4K3D here and all is normal. No LCD problem.

Kodiloaded, when you say Q10 do you mean Q10 Q10?!

[kodiloaded]

It only seems to do it after you do a full power off with the button on the box  not the remote


cristianstoica sent me a pm with a link to test firmware he had just compiled after reading my post, Just got done testing it with the same results. Gibberish on the LCD then nothing at all just blank.

OK. I see it after a power cycle using the button on the box.

e.g.

I have to say, I wish he was also releasing his custom firmwares in alternate versions that would not have any of those reverts. I typically prefer using updated versions of the apps, and I don't mind the factors he lists as their shortcomings.

What are the benefits of these next to official firmware?

[futeko.com]

Can the q10 firmware me used on the a300 since they are same.?

I think so but you should ask Kodiloaded / KDLINKS. We don't have an A300 to test.

Can the q10 firmware me used on the a300 since they are same.?

Should add that installing KDLINKS or other firmware on a Q10 may invalidate warranty depending on where you bought the Q10 from.

As far as we're concerned you can install any firmware from our forum or the official Himedia download site. Other retailers might have a different policy.
