Q5/Q10 Pro Official Firmware

[mvaira]

I have 1.0.8 official firmware.

I'm trying to upgrade to 2.0.0, following your instructions.

While I'm doing first step (Q10 PRO ANDROID 5.1 TO ANDROID 7 MIGRATION FIRMWARE), after about twenty second, Android droid logo goes down and tell me there is an error.

I tried to restore to factory reset, but it did not work.

I tried to upgrade to official 1.0.9, but Android droid logo goes down and tell me there is an error.

I thought HiMedia promised to  post the new firmware for Android 7.0 (Firmware 2.0.1) this week. Because this week, month and year will end soon....

What's the error message? Where did you get the box from?

I don't know. HiMedia won't say.

I'd advise updating manually if you want to update.

Is it the same for the new Android 7 2.0.1 firmware? They won't inform nor update yet?

Android 7 2.0.1 should happen late this week.

It will be manual update initially and available from this forum.

Pure speculation (because HiMedia won't tell me) but I think having two firmware strands (Android 5.1 and Android 7) with complicated installs to move between the two have made the OTA update process more complicated and potentially risky. If this is the case then HiMedia are right to hold back from pushing OTA updates until they are 100% sure the process works 100% of the time.

the new firmware 1.0.9 for Android 5.1 includes the patch  "mount storage  by UUID / label"

Thank you! Got the auto update too, but it is only HDM-1.0.9 2016-12-13.091707
So when will OTA 2.0 come with Android 7?

I am a newbie user. I got my Q5 Pro with firmware 1.0.8 in November.  I was quite happy with it till I upgraded to Android 7 Nougat through the two-step upgrade. But although the upgrade went okay, my wifi and lan are not recognized anymore. I tried LAN and wifi mode separately but still was unable to connect. Finally I rolled back to 1.08 and voila! everything is fine.

Couple of days ago I got an OTA upgrade (1.09) which I applied; things seem to be fine so far.

My gut feeling is that Nougat with 2.0 still has some glitches that need to be sorted out. Guess I will wait till an OTA upgrade comes out, unless someone on this forum encourages me otherwise

The Android 7 firmware works well for most purposes but is a version 1 firmware whereas the Android 5.1 firmware in on version 9.

The upcoming 2.0.1 Android 7 firmware (I don't know exact release date!) will fix most of the little glitches with Android 7 v2.0.0.

Is there an ability within Android 7 to fix a drive's designation? At present I have an internal drive plus two USB drives with content distributed across all three. Usually the USB3 drive gets picked up first, followed by the USB2 then the internal hdd last. But occasionally after a boot the internal drive is picked up first causing all the drive letters to be rearranged. When that happens Kodi can then no longer find my media content. A reboot usually fixes it but it's a nuisance.

I believe this is your solution.
