Btw guys.... Q10 pro existing on 5.1, received OTA to update to Nougat but very quickly that the data will be wiped. Does this means all the app and Kodi settings will be wiped clean?

Yup... A data wipe means a full wipe. Only system installed apps and settings will remain... Do a Kodi backup, store off the box and wipe away. Can reinstall and restore after the firmware update is completed.

Reads like firmware related. Tried a clean flash? Not factory reset.

So my attempt to move to Kodi 17.1 and update the backup using Ares failed on both Nexbox A95X running on Android 6 and Q10 Pro running on Android 5.1

Attempt 1
Existing Jarvis, then update to 17.1 using Play Store. After updating, Kodi refuse to load up, just dark screen

Attempt 2
Deleted Kodi entirely then install thru Play Store. It does load. This is followed by installing Ares and restore using the backup. Once done and do force close. Upon launching Kodi, it then hangs and goes into dark screen again.... Knnccb

How?

what does the OTA indicate? is it 2.0.1 or 2.0.3?

if q10 pro is on android5.1, u must first move to android7 with firmware 2.0.1.
if u jump straight to 2.0.3, there will be problems.

i started with 2.0.1, installed kodi17.0 from playstore, fresh build.
it auto updates to 17.1 when it was available.

i have not tried firmware 2.0.3 since the changelog does not have any interesting change that affects me.

if i m not mistaken...

this model is about 3 years old... but u may have bought it quite late.

it is a quad 4.4, will not get upgraded to android5.

the last firmware i know of for this one is 1.0.9, u can check yr box.



besides flashing new firmware already mentioned, i can suggest u try this:

the power adaptor may have failed.

good news is the adaptor is the same for all himedia models.

so, test the box with another himedia adaptor from a fren or a shop.

if all is well, buy a new one - rm20 or so.

Having updated to the latest firmware is irrelevant at this point. What I asked you to try is to get a hold of the latest firmware and manually perform a clean flash. Clean flashes require a PC and are not done OTA.

q10pro... android 5 or 7, kodi 16 or 17 will work.

i have used a kodi16.1 org.xbmc.kodi folder on a kodi17.1 on another device, works fine.

Is it available from outside the US? If No, you'll need VPN to access it tight?

i have one of these too, a non-emmc.

>5 yrs old... final firmware was 3 years ago, no chance to get to 4.4.2.

slow compared to newer models, but it is still good for most apps.

i am using it mainly for playback - 1080p, bdmv's, dtshdma, ddtruehd.

just can't do 4k, hevc, 10bit.

well worth the money spent 5 years ago.

dual core, 4.2.2 is the android version.

the final firmware for q5ii non-emmc is 1.0.8, for q5ii emmc, it is 1.0.9.

useless? all apps incl kodi works on it!

old chipset limitations... only kodi 16.1, 720p only.

other apps incl china ones, 1080p can do.

playback hd audio... some new boxes can't even do dts/dd!

but small memory... it is slow and sluggish... compared to new ones which are much faster.
