    📂 Step 1 — Folder & File Setup

    1. Format USB to FAT32 on your computer
    2. Create a main folder named: vuplus
    3. Inside vuplus, create a subfolder named: duo
    4. Extract the USB upgrade files directly into the duo folder

    📌 Note: Ensure extracted files include boot.bin, kernel_cfe_auto.bin, and root_cfe_auto.jffs2


    🔧 Step 2 — Start Flashing Process

    1. Power off your VU+ Duo (rear switch)
    2. Insert USB stick into the front USB port
    3. Power on the VU+ Duo
