Root Q5 Pro

[Fitness Wain]

Hi futeko,

is any Firmware of Q5 Pro able to root Q5 Pro and if not how can I root my Q5 Pro.

Do you know whether Himedia has plan for an Android 6 TV box?

Thanks.

Q5/Q10 Pro will be updated to Android 7 later this year.

I don't think HiMedia have plans for an Android 6 box.

We don't recommend that you root Q5/Q10 Pro, but there are several methods discussed online for how to do it.

None of these are tested, use at your own risk:

Any plans to combine Android 7 with OpenWRT 15.5 as some other platforms are doing (those using RTD1295 based SOC's).
These SOC's are designed to be used also as a router running OpenWRT and have 2 Ethernet ports for that reason. I do suspect Hisillicon has the same market approach as also their SOC has 2 Ethernet ports. Media Players typically don't implement the second port. The EWEAT E9 Plus being an exception to that rule having both a WAN and a LAN port.
 
NAS support with all bells and whistles and many more network features is then a snap with almost a zero programming effort. The Hisillicon SOC may already be running OpenWRT with other HW builds?

Wow, that is simply awesome news. Really now look forward for this major system upgrade. Hopefully by then the firmware will get very mature and with 7.0 this might be a box to keep for over a year.

I don't know of plans, but I will request OpenWRT as a feature request. I'll also try and get a reply from HiMedia regarding how likely it is. I agree that with other boxes having it, HiMedia should have it too.
