Vu+ Duo will not start......

do a reflash with latest image take time make sure its right?

Reformat the usb drive and try again. Make sure no other usb ports have pen drives etc connected. You could also try flashing the original VU image and before someone else says it, 1st post goes to introductions.

or tahoe

after you've done the intro's, pull the power on the Vu wait 30 seconds and then reconnect.

if it dont boot then do as the others have suggested.

I tried to put in the latest Image, BH 1.7.4 in the USB but it would not accept it. Then I tried to upgrade the Bootloader with "duo cfe Rev 3.0" after that I Vu+ accept the USB with the Image BH 1.7.4. But it will not start.!!

The bootloader should have been updated first,before you tried to flash on the latest image.Try to update the bootloader again,it should do it very quickly.Then when you switch the box off let it sit for at least 5 mins before trying to turn it back on again,my own duo wll not start up immediately after being swtched on/off,i read somewhere that this is do with protecting the PSU.

When you have updated the bootloader then try as suggested to flash on the latest image with no other usb's attached to the box.

Try that and let us know how you get on.

That is a classic syndrome of USB no properly formatted.....
try another USB stick with exactly what you have been advised above ,,,
there´s not a lot else unless its a clone in which case would need to be patched first...

-re Download image , and make sure its complete!
-Format the USB (erase =Quick format)
-Extract zip-files directly to USB!
-Insert USB,,,etc!

Make sure no other USB is connected!
For 1.74 PU you need 1 USB mounted as /media/universe!

If with a different usb stick you still dont get past the "starting" then try McKee´s backup which has been set up with some extras to see if it is box or image...

After this ,it sounds to me that you are not updating via USB according to the instructions:

Unzip the vuplus folder to the root directory of a USB Pen Drive.
Power off Vu+ with switch on the back
Insert USB Pen Drive into the USB socket on Vu+
Power on Vu+
Image will auto install from the USB Stick.
Look at the display on the receiver, it'll display when the update has finished.
Remove the USB Stick
Power off receiver.
Power on Receiver.

Image is now installed.

Display More

OR the USB stick is not adequate for the job!!!! try another usb stick..

have you read the other thread on this forum... someone else had what sounds like similar problem

http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…r-flashing-new-image.html

Make sure you have the new image in folder and sub folder vuplus/duo (3 files) on the usb drive ?..
does the display go to the stage flashing nand if not its not reading your usb drive. Or usb drive not compatible

Glad you were able to get the problem sorted buddy,persistance paid off!!

I will close this thread now that your box is up and running again.
