I'm relatively new to this so please bear with me. I'm using a blackhole image Which has been working well until I tried to install the vps plugin, when the box rebooted it came up with a green screen with error messages and rebooted its self. Now it just keeps repeating this cycle.
I then divided to install the latest image I could find 2.0.9.1. The problem I have now is that when I put the USB in to the box and switch it on ot just repeats the green screen-reboot cycle.
I can't flash my vu solo 2

unplug the usb stick and reformat it on your pc..
then upload the image again and try to install.. ( make sure that only the vuplus folder containing the image is on the stick)
make sure no other usb ports /hdd connections are no connected.. -

I've just tried what you mentioned but still no luck. Would it have something to do with meoboot. When I switch the power on it comes up with a screen saying meoboot at the bottom and flash highlighted in green near the top.

I bought the box from world of satellite. Is there anyway I could tell if it's a clone

it wont be a clone if you got it there , try a different memory stick and make sure your folder structure is right you first folder will be vuplus in that solo2 and so on it cant be on the stick zipped still front usb will do the trick when prompted press the power button
-
Everything is as you've described on the memory stick but there is no prompt on the front to press the power button. Unfortunately I don't have another memory stick to hand so I'll have to try that tomorrow.

What brands of memory stick work on a solo 2
-
Try formatting the USB stick with the HP Format tool then try again, also try a different image if need be to see of that will flash.
-
Thanks. I'll give that a go

intenso rainbow ive always used for boxes and never had an issue with any box
-
Sandisk cruzer blade(4/8/16gb) and/or sandisk extreme (usb3 32gb) have no problems either, from my experience.
As cazeula said in post 2, make sure all usb drives at rear are disconnected before flash. I never had to disconnect hdd but heard others having to aswell. -
Just on the off chance I tried the the vu plus image from their website and it's installed fine. Could it be that the black hole 9.0.2.1 image is unstable/corrupt which I tried originally.
-
Maybe, anything's possible.
Try d/loading it again and have another go.
2.0.9.1 i presume u mean.
Backup configs / usual stuff first though. -
I'm going to try re downloading tomorrow and give it another go and yes you are correct, it was a bit of dyslexia on my behalf, sorry.
-
Lots of good advice but maybe we have overlooked that the usb stick should be formatted to fat 32.
-
I've formatted the USB to fat32 each time before unzipping file to USB stick.
-
i have same problem with flashing.i even got a brand new usb stick but box starts normally and goes to channel.formatted drive with format tool and transferred files using terracopy
-
I just flashed mine for the first time today, it took me a couple of tries but I was being too careful. This worked for me, switch your box on, let it boot, then switch off using the switch at the back. Put your usb key in and switch back on again with the switch on the back. Press the power button on the box when it asks you to, wait until it says restart in a few seconds and pull the usb key out before it restarts.

thanks i tried letting it boot and switch off etc,but each time there is no prompt,it just says starting
