..

Please don't post the same thing in multiple threads. You don't own a Q5 so no idea why you thought posting it here (as well as in Q10 thread and two new threads) was a good idea.

Yes. No problem downgrading at all.

Download navigation_bar_android.zip

Rename navigation_bar_android.zip to update.zip and copy to  USB pen drive
Insert the USB pen drive into any USB port of the Q5/Q10  4K3D
From Launcher go to settings / Upgrade / Local Upgrade / Please Choose Drive: where update.zip is locate
Player is reboot and Android droid is show for few seconds and wait to start normal
Navigation bar is inactiv qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

If want to re-enabled  navigation bar use this update.zip with restore button and paper clip, Navigation bar is set back to qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Update with navigation_bar_android.zip not wipe your data/sdcard.


Hi I'm trying to use this to remove this bloody bar from my Q5 Himedia.

but it just keeps saying update failed? i have the latest Uk software on my box.

any ideas?

Have you tried our 'get rid of bar' update from the FAQ?: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=56.0 http://www.mediafire.com/download/c4gb03d2p3suc67/update.zip

It may be different to the pcristi version and may work better for you.

Yeah just tried that now. Same thing update failed.

I had to rename the update file to update.zip. as when it was named just update the box didn't see the file on the usb stick.

I'm using the local update from the settings menu in the software is that right?

Yes that's the correct method.

The file when downloaded from our FAQ link should be called 'update.zip'. It doesn't need renaming. It definitely works, I just tested it on Q5 with 3.0.2 firmware.

Are you sure you have 3.0.2 firmware? Where did you get the box from? Us?

If all else fails I would try reinstalling 3.0.2 firmware using reset button method and then immediately doing the update to remove bar.

I think the problem is something to do with the file extension (.zip) being mangled by your Mac. I'm not very familiar with Macs but if the OS tries to identify the file and assign it the extension it thinks it should have then this might confuse the Q5.

An alternative would be to download the update.zip file on the Q5.

Oh, and please buy from us next time!  :'(

Install 'ES File Explorer' from Play Store.

Use it to copy the update.zip file from download folder ('Download' in left nav bar) to USB stick.

Then go Settings - Upgrade - Local Upgrade from main Q5 menu.
