Flashing problem with openvix-Helios.001-vusolo2_usb.zip

[manufan1611]

Hi All,

I tried to update my solo2 today to Helios.001 and it is crashing at first launch and looping.

I took a picture of the crash log on my tv and have attached it. I would appreciate any advice on what is causing this problem?

Thanks in advance.

you need to send a proper log files for people to help out?

have you tried to re-flash again? are you wanting to restore any plugins/image etc? if not maybe worth factory restore and then a clean flash, just means you may need to add/setup plugins/ABM etc etc.

No need for factory resetting before flashing images, the process of flashing a image it self first wipes the flash before flashing the new image, so factory resetting is a redundant and fairly pointless step.

I cant access my box as it keeps looping after re-flash.

I tried various memory sticks formatted with HP tool, downloaded image twice, I am not trying to restore any plugins I do not get that far into the process, as the image is just about the ask the video connection type at initial set up it crashes and reboots and same again.

I will wait on any other suggestions before trying a factory restore as I have not done that before.

thanks

Is it a genuine box ? Where did you buy it ?

[manufan1611]

Hi Maxwell,

I bought it a year ago from ********.com , I always presumed it was original. Iv flashed to VIX twice before without a problem.
Does the crash log make any sense to you?
Cheers

You haven't posted a crashlog

[manufan1611]

I posted a jpeg image attachment of the crash log above, the box is not on my network as I cant get in that far to set up so I cant ftp the crash logs.

I also just tried the previous release zeus image with no success, the exact same crash happens.

I am now going to try restore back to my previous working image... fingers crossed!

update
previous image 3.0 build 802 is back working..... but I would like to know why I can't update or if I am doing something wrong.

if you have managed to go back to late image try flashing again. if am honest i bought a duo sometime back and after tried flashing to newer image i kept getting loop, found out it was a clone.

give it another go and see what happens, you can always go back to older image like you have done already.

[manufan1611]

I just checked the vuplus website that gives guidelines on how to detect a solo 2 clone and I can confirm mine is an original.

[Andy_Hazza]

If its a genuine box you should be able to flash any image. The constant looping, failing on latest image is a sign of a clone box to me.

[manufan1611]

I have checked VU guidelines from this link http://vuplus.com/pressNewsContent.htm?idx=82&pagenum=1

Mine has the magnets on the door, has the dots in centre of fan at the rear, has the dots in the text so I have to trust that this is an original.

I have a 500gig hard drive built in , is the image trying to check saved settings or anything saved on the HD that could be causing issues?

Latest clones have all that as well.

I bought mine in April last year , as far as I remember the box was only out about then and clones were not available for the solo2 at that time.

I emailed the crashlog to vix support to in the hope that someone can offer any other advice than I have a cloned box!
