I apologize if I'm wrong.
In my version of Windows it is still possible to format in FAT 32.
In which version of Windows is it not possible to do this?
Thank you

OK.
I understood that the limitation also concerned USB pen drives, less than 32 Gb.

I just local upgrade to ATV Firmware, but i need to rollback to Official Firmware, how to do

Thank you
Recovery with paper clip.
1. Copy update.zip to the root of a USB pen drive.
2. Insert the USB pen drive into any USB port of the Q10Pro/Q5Pro.
3. With the Q10Pro/Q5Pro turned off, use a paper clip to press and hold the the pinhole restore button on the back side of the Q10Pro/Q5Pro.
4. While keeping the RESTORE/UPGRADE button pressed, turn on the Q10Pro/Q5Pro.
5. The Q10Pro/Q5Pro will show an Recovery Rainbow Rings logo and proceed to upgrade the firmware.
6. The box will auto-reboot few times until finished.
7. First boot can take 4-5 minutes.
8. Wait 15 minutes after first boot to allow system and apps to initialize.

Hi pcristi, just to be sure these sanity check questions:
1. Currently I use the update_Q10Pro_(Lite-CFW)-HMD-2.1.4 2019-09-11.161658. Can i directly upgrade from this firmware to the update_Q10Pro_(update&themed&Kodi18.2)[RC0]-HMD-2.1.6 2020-07-13.172553.zip?
2. The zip in your mediafire dir CFW HMD 2.1.6 is equally named to the one in the dir Official FW (untouched), BUT  I assume that the one in CFW HMD 2.1.6 is the most actual and to be used version. Please confirm and thanks.

Update: I understand from other comments below now, fist update using paperclip with ofw 216 and than this updated cfw 216.

I'm not sure if its just me or not but I don't think this new custom firmware 2.1.6 with Kodi 18.2 looks quite as good as my previous  2.1.4 custom firmware where I used Kodi 18.7, I find the picture is not so vibrant as before lacking a bit of colour, all the settings were the same for both firmwares, anyone else found this?

I was able to install magisk on official 2.1.6 using pcristi's Magisk_v19.3_-root_%26_Universal_Systemless_Interface_FW_v2.1.4.  But it won't install on CFW 2.1.6. Is there a way to root?  I need root for Titanium Backup. Thanks,  John

Doesn't need to be differences between OFW and CFW, but as alternative root can try ROOT_SuperSU_v2.82_SR5_via_LAN.
