After connecting serial cable and network cable from pc to Vu Duo box & set my pc network IP : (not difference between Static IP & DHCP)
I use VuUtil to connecting to the box, but after turning the box on it goes to 40% stopped & did not Set IP. Why ?
Vu Util not works anyway. Is there another program for serial flashing Vu duo ???
Display MoreJust noticed this from alian
Do you even need an IP address for a serial flash, Its usually just a com port..
If so, try set a static IP address within your router, this will reserve that IP address & hopefully hold it during the flash.

Please help me. Why there is not anyone know how i should solve my Problem in this box.
Please.
introduction??????????????
ok. Done. Please
the outputs of the power supply will be fine, untill they are put under load. its possible to send the image via putty, but, this will be a SLOWWWWW process, and does have the capability to completley damage your receiver beyond all form of software recovery.
disconnect EVERYTHING, including the internal HDD, TV, dishes, rear USB, everything, so that all that is connected is the power lead, ethernet lead, and serial lead
or, with everything else disconnected, try a microSD card in a mini USB adaptor for USB flashing, try flashing only a bootloader first
I had done it. Only motherboard is on power supply. No HDD no lnb no usb but not read any usb.
Look for the IP in your router ,,
I check IP of my pc, it is much with Vu Utility program, also ip of my box.
your log from putty shows that firstly, and most importantly, the COM port IS working, it also shows that it tries to initialise a USB port.
disconnect everything that doesnt need to be connected to update the firmware, dish(es), hdmi, scarts, rear USB devices, and, any internal hard drives, and try it again, it 'sounds' like hardware failure on the power supply, which if you are handy with a soldering iron, you could probably repair for pennys (today i repaired a £900 LG TV that was completley dead, for £1.36 worth of parts and 15 mins with an iron)
the members of the forum are all enthusiasts, who like to help people get the best from their equipment, if you can post details like in your last post, and follow any suggestions offered to you, then you will probably find that you can fix your receiver, no matter hod badly damaged you may think that it is
I had done all works you say and as you know all output voltages of power supply is written on its board. I measured them and all is OK.
NIC is ok but do not accept ip from Vu Utility program such it can not comunicate with PC.
HDD voltage is ok.
VFD is ok and show "starting & RED led"
RED led on panel responce to remote and change its color.
That's All.
Have you tried flashing an NFI version of the official image with RS232 Serial cable and Vu+ Utility ?
As mentioned in my post YES i try it with Vu+ Utility But it do not accept ip from this program and stuck in assign ip step.
I am waiting for any support or technical advise for my vu duo box that stucks in STARTING as i say i past posts.
My Box is genuine (Not Clone or ferrari) and i bought it 1.5 years ago (not have warranty).
I checked all PSU port Voltage and were correct all.
It not responce any usb port or com port to flashing.
I tried programs such as vuutil and putty for flashing it from com port but any result.
I find out that many boxes that works for more than 1 year are same problem. i send my problem to Vu Plus company but they
did not any answer.
Please tell me what i do to make my box alive (I bought it so expensive i can not throw it to trash).
Here i paste Putty log of com port of the box for any technichal advise.

Sat-Shop.co.uk
You say that "We have sold thousands ( literally) of the DUO alone and have perhaps 2 or 3 back"
but i say you that is not reason because this box is not an ordinary box (It is so expensive) thus many users may be with
official Image and has no upgrade even has not install any HDD.
What I say to you is:
1- What error or problem might be in this box that is common in all faulty boxes in reflashing (RED LIGHT LED ON PANEL AND DO NOT READ USB NOR REFASHING FROM ANY PORTS) solve by changing type of usb or another type of usb formating (FAT / FAT32) ?
2- If there was a real support (Such as error correction in Images) the company & technical support team must try to solve this problem and advise users and technicians for repair it.
Again again this is my request of company & anyone related "Please help me and other users to solve this problem and make box alive"
My guess is new bootloader CFE 3.0 has error or not much with H/W or S/W because after 1.5 year of good job this problems accured after i upgrade my box
with new bootloader from Vu plus site.
Problem : My Box stucks in "Starting ..." Red LED in panel do not read any usb pen drive and do not accept ip for flashing from Serial port (rs232).I wonder what is this Problem (As i say in first post it reads Usb after several on/off and accept flashing.Some users that have such problem says(in web) they have replaced C807 on Motherboard and some others suggest other ways.
is there any profisional software to flasing this box (no VuUtil) ?
Any suggestion ???
musogeek You are right bat :
1-If too many boxes of users of a Brand such as Vu plus replay similar Problem (RED LIGHT LED ON PANEL AND DO NOT READ USB NOR REFASHING FROM ANY PORTS)
the company and supports must be aware that is a common error and must be somting wrong in H/W or Software (NOT to be quite).
2- My box is completly genuine and this problem Occured for me several times after i upgrade my box with new Bootloader CFE 3.0 (Vu Duo) and each time i try near to 100-150 turn on and off and many types of USB pen drives for reflashing the box.(COM port do not work in this situaation).
3- Now I request of this company and technical mans and supportes Help me to solve this problem. Is any genuine technical HELP ??? or ...
I had a problem with my Vu Duo.It was "Stucking in Starting and did not flash anyway".
I search in web and find out many users of this box have the same problem.(you can search to find)
It seems that this stucking problem is for hardware or software fail in bootloader of the box.
Many users and me send email to Vu plus company for Solution but after 1 year any Solution.
I recommend to all they want to buy a box do not buy Vu Plus solo duo uno and ultimo because they
have weak support in software and hardware and an accountable company with expencive boxes.
Send your mails to vu plus company for support request of such problems.
