Firmware ooppsss

Was away for a couple of weeks and another person on the church audio team wanted to be helpful and updated our QU-24 firmware to 1.8 without realizing its affect. Since the new firmware release requires IOS 7.1 or later and we are using an Ipad1, we now have lost all Qu-pad capabilities. (Right now the Qu-pad app is more important than any enhancements in the V1.8 firmware release and since A&H doesn’t have apps for other OS, we are stuck until we can convince others of the purchase of a newer Ipad.)
From what I am reading, there is no way to revert firmware to a previous version.
Please tell me that I am wrong and how that can be done?

That is not correct. You can revert to the previous firmware on the console. What you are thinking is you can not revert apps on the iPad.

Old firmware is available here:

and there is an 3rd party app for Android

I have a console sold that guy is using the Android app and loves it although he mentioned something about scenes not working on it or not being on it. Can’t imagine that. Very basic necessity.

It’s only a recent addition to QuPad!

I know. I just assumed it would have it. I told him to look again.
