As soon as i get time i will try to flash the backup onto my own solo2 again, see what is happening.....
Update......
Ok so i updated the 3.0.1 new BH image through the image itself and then made a full backup...... when trying to flash on the backup it is having the same effect as everyone else is reporting, constant starting loop etc.
So i will wait to see if there are any reports regards this over at the BH forum and whether it is reported as a bug in the image.... if & when a fix is available i will update the first post in this thread with a working backup file....
No point in keeping this thread open while this is happening so i will close it for now.
