    Go to www.openvix.co.uk into tjet tutorials sectio for a flashing tutorial and use that to flash a new image

    Hi - newbie here...

    Bought a new Vu Duo two weeks ago, flashed with (what I presume is) the latest Vix image, however after setting it up and finding things weren't working so well, numb nuts here tried to do a software update and things went wrong. I no longer have connection to my laptop via ftp and error messages keep appearing, therefore I assume I need to do a factory reset and re-flash.

    Is this the correct way to do it, or would I be able to fix it without re-flashing? Any help would be appreciated - I'm still very wet behind the ears when it comes to using this technology (all completely new to me!)...

    Further to this, which Image should I be downloading to my USB for this? Should I go for the last file posted in this thread (posted 30/09/12)?

    Thats where you went wrong, updating from a ancient build all the way up, your lucky you didnt brick the box, look at www.openvix.co.uk for the latest images.

    Thanks! Just to confirm, the box still plays fta channels (all it was set up for originally). I presume when a box is bricked, it does absolutely nothing - just checking to ensure it's not already bricked!

    if it were bricked it would not boot up, ie only as useful as a house brick.

    Just grab the latest image from the openvix site ( make sure you load the correct one not the Duo2 ), there are some flashing tutorials there too.

    Nice one - I'm going to download openvix-Zeus.018-vuduo_usb.zip (dated 01/04/14). I'd be screwed without help from this forum!

    So I've put the files on the USB stick (as per the instructions at the start of this thread), powered down the box (switch on the back), put the USB in the front slot and powered up. The box came on with the message 'reading USB stick' (light on stick was flashing) and the box just seems to have come on as before (TV channel playing and same error message on screen). The box says 'OnlineVersionCheck' on the front panel and nothing more is happening. Any ideas? Sorry to be bothering you with this...

    Three sticks, plus front and back ports - same result every time. If anyone can help, you'd make a dumb newbie very happy!
