Actually it's very easy:

1.download from above web site i posted earlier,you got 海美迪Q5-II Root.rar
2.turn on you Q5 and get it's ip address afterwards leave it on
3.Please make sure Q5 and PC are on same local network...
4.extract Q5-II root.rar to your pc desktop,double click on 海美迪Q5-II Root.exe,on my wins 7 it's
just display garbled codes,anyways you just keys in your Q5 ip adress like:192.168.1.xxx then press ENTER,wait until its finish
5.maybe you need to reboot your Q5 afterwards,check for superman-android like logo,it is supersu
6.download root checker from play store if it is proper root.

Please note:
1.If you cannot root it 1st time,you may need to kill adb.exe in task manager or reboot your pc or redownload archive and try again
2.you might need to temporary shut down your pc's firewalls or antivirus,because ADB use port 5555 to communicate with Q5
3.Try to use hard wire,avoid wireless...
4.you should check with nicety this was actually void warrenty if you have purchased from nicety?
5.Lastly i am NOT responsible for any loss or damage to your device ,I am just sharing what i found...

By the way,I root my Q5 II just to mount my NAS NFS share on boot up automatically,so i can use it with xbmc there is
unnecessary to root if you are just normal user...

Hi, how do I check the IP address for my q5 II?

odinfei

Thank you so much for your root tip. Now I have manage to do exactly what I wanted. I prepared a small script to run at boot up to mount the directory automatically.

I couldn't find an app to do the mount for me.

Did you use an app or a script to auto mount it?

By the way nicety,I did purchased my Q5 II from you in case you don't know me ,

you're quick response,responsible seller just like forumer praised...

I join lowyat since yesterday just to give you support and share some infomation.

haha,good for you...

I used script manager and little script search from xda,and it must use busybox to launch script...

Thank you very much bro. Was excited to see your sharing in the last , hope more Q series buyer could share more here especially the streaming information. If anyone found any interesting xBMC addon, apps or web site contain good movies, pls share it here.

Himedia has mentioned that rooted device will void the warranty. Strongly recommend all buyer to root the device if and only if really needed, and capable to unroot any time.

Thank you so much bro. Sincerely appreciated your sharing, keep it up 

In the past, I am use to find technical solution from the oversea forum but I never contribute any solution or share my info in the forum. Therefore I decided to do it differently and share as much as I could in the forum. Surprisingly, my customers also share back the information with me in return. At the end I am benefit from it as well.

I hope I could encourage the sharing concept among the Malaysian, to build the knowledge base. I noticed some oversea Himedia users read this thread as well. Hope more ppl could benefit from this thread in order to maximize the functionality of the box.

Once again, thank you very much for your sharing. Btw, pm me your email, I should have your record in my database.

Mind to share the Himedia forum overseas? Thx

Bro, you get me wrongly. I used to obtain technical soulution from oversea forum including Oracle, Cisco, IBM EMC, RedHat and etc.

There is no official oversea Himedia forum in English, only China Himedia forum in mandarin.

http://bbs.himedia-tech.cn/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=no

Therefore I wish to made this thread informative and share with anyone could not read Chinese.

Everytime when watch half way, it will kick me back to home screen. Any idea why? Cloudtv or xbmc..

If most of the apps being closed unexpectedly, there is high change due to the storage full, pls check the storage space available in /mnt/sdcard. Looking forward your findings. The backup folder could be move out from /mnt/sdcard/ and store in external disk. You might need it when firmware upgrade in the future.

i experience that since day 1 with the box. I give it a try later tonight
