Install software on Innioasis Q8 with a Windows PC

The Q8 is a compact Innioasis and Timmkoo player with Bluetooth, a microSD slot and the familiar local music and audiobook apps. The community firmware archive does not yet list a dedicated Q8 stock repository. This page tracks the model, explains the safe update route and points to the archive as soon as a Q8 package is published. These are the Windows routes for the Innioasis Q8.

Prepare Windows for the install

  1. Download the Innioasis Updater CE installer (installer.exe) from the official GitHub release and run it. If SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info then Run anyway only for the file you just downloaded from github.com/y1-community/Innioasis-Updater.
  2. Install the MediaTek USB driver with DriverInstall.exe, then restart the PC. The driver is what lets Windows see a powered-off player when Updater CE asks for it.
  3. Use a USB port on the PC itself and a cable that carries data. A charge-only cable or an unpowered hub is the usual reason the player never appears.

Windows 10 and 11 x64 are the normal targets. ARM64 Windows is experimental. Full Windows setup notes.
