Q5 Pro not updating
« on: September 10, 2018, 03:17:13 PM »
Hi, I need help with updating my q5 pro, everything has been working fine but now I have a atmos receiver and speakers installed I presume my firmware is old for it as it is not playing my files with atmos. my specs are

Android 5.1.1
kernal 3.18.24
build HMD-1.09 2016-12-14 190953

I have tried updating to the latest firmware, but every time the android sign boots up it just stops and goes to the Himedia screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks
H

You have to upgrade first to 2.0.4 and after that to 2.0.9

Read instructions carefully.

Thanks,  I've put 2.04 but 2.09 is not going on, the ring does come up and the progress bar goes all the way, but when It boots up it still on 2.04.

Are you sure you have the version 2.0.9 in the flash drive? You should have one single file called update.zip

Does kodi work with a local file from a flash drive? Are you using the internal player or wrapper? If the problem only occurs with network shares read the section in the FAQ about networking

Ok I've made some progress, I've updated Kodi from Google play store and movies have now been found by smb, did have a few problems with ratios but that's sorted.

The only problem I have now is some of the buttons on the remote do not work like before, I used to press the menu button on the movie chosen and I used to get options on trailers and posters/fanart
Also the back button does not work when using Kodi.

For the back button to work again on Kodi :

add ons, then My add ons, then peripheral libraries, then disable joystick support.
