Yes, this image uses the old kernal so bootloader upgrade is not needed.

Will i brick the box if i try flash a new image now and the bootloader didnt update?

No, you will get a black screen and the image wont load, it will work fine by trying to upgrade the bootloader again.

Dont be afraid to try the new image, you wont brick it unless you flash an image for DUO or Ultimo, even then it can be fixed with the great help of this forum.

You can use Blackhole 1.6.6, ViX Solo Image v2.3 - 19/10/2011 or any of the older images.

every time the red light comes on the turns green and keeps flashing non stop.

Upgrade is successful when it flashes like this, now try to flash the latest image.

whats the difference between a backup image and a full image like VIX team or Blackhole

You will need to flash the bootloader if you are going to try latest ViX or BlackHole image.

Backup image is basically a full image with cams, plugins, channel lists etc added, that are not included in official images.

The latest VTI image for solo is dated 09.10.2011, it doesnt use this bootloader so i doubt your solo will have it pre-loaded.

Download the cfe_solo_2.0.zip‎, right click on the file and extract HERE with winrar, you will see a folder named VUPLUS, copy and paste this folder to your USB drive.

Switch off the solo and add the USB drive to the front port, switch back on, flashing the bootloader should only take a few seconds.

Green led will flash on front panel when upgrade is complete, make sure no other USB devices or sticks are connected.

If it doesnt upgrade try another USB stick as sometimes these boxes can be very picky even with sticks that have previously worked fine.

Type http://192.168.1.67:16001 into your browser ( changing 192.168.1.67 to your own servers ip address ), tell us what you see.

You first need to understand what each setting does then you will know that it has to be setup specifically for your own Televison, network, devices etc.

My settings for these wont work on your Vu+.

Possible that the device isnt set correct in oscam.server. Are you using the internal or an external Smart Card Reader ?

The attached file has examples of all oscam files, just ftp them to the correct folder and edit accordingly.

Hi john, you will find these files in /media/hdd/movie/ or whatever path you set in mountpoints. Use an ftp program like DCC or filezilla to transfer them to your pc. You can also transfer movies into this folder and watch on the mediaplayer.

My first thought was faulty connection from the Dm500 to the LNB, but it couldnt be if you reboot and it works again for a while. Think you could be right in saying this box is on its way out :ops:
