Hi all, I am looking for older versions of HT5 for the Z9x 8k. Just got mine yesterday. I see the new beta. But is there an older, maybe more safer version? Can’t find it here, sorry. My Zidoo was delivered with 4.3. Many thanks and greets.
This has already been answered: There are no "official releases" of anything. There is whatever version shipped from factory, plus a whole series of updates labelled as beta. Some have more bugs, some less. Because you can't downgrade, the best course of action is to wait for others to to update and test. If you are on a version that works for you, I would suggest not updating. As far as the release from the last half a year are concerned, the consensus seems to be that firmware 1.2.22 was the most trouble free version for majority of users. Some people report no issues with newer firmware, while others are seeing regressions. They are ***ed off because they can't go back to previous firmware version - Zidoo have intentionally made that impossible. There have been some early preview betas of HT made available as APKs that you can un-install. It's important to make a backup of your database with the older version before you install the APK. If you uninstall the preview beta APK, you will have to restore the old database because the older version of HT will not understand the updated database schema.
If you have FW 1.2.40, then you must have the latest stable version of HT 4.3.74. HT5 is currently being developed together with the community and, as already mentioned, still has bugs. You do not need to install HT separately; the latest stable version is always implemented in the firmware.
