[VU+ Duo] Will not update to vix 721

skratch · Aug 19, 2013

Hi all i have a vu duo running vix 719 i am trying to automatically update my image but it gets stuck on the upgrade in progress screen and i have to turn the box off from the back. I have checked the builds here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/enigma2/openvix/index.php?dir=Vu+Duo/ but there is no 721 update available yet does anyone have the image please?

Were currently holding new builds back for testing due to extensive changes but build 721 is available if you enable the allow unstable updates option.

Menu> Setup> System> Software update.

or you could use a telnet session with the following command

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Try making a settings backup in the backup manager

Blue button> ViX> backup manager.

Then go to www.openvix.co.uk and download the latest stable image from there ( currently build 720 ),
Flash your receiver with this image and when presented with the option during the First Install Wizard select yes to restore the settings you backed up, or you can just go into the backup manager and restore them manually.

Im already on 720 are you suggesting backup settings then reflash 720 and try updating to 721 after that?

Nice tutorial mate im on mac using idreamX i have used telnet before but not sure how to update via telnet.

log into the box via a telnet session using root as the user ( no password is set so you should not need that ).

once your logged in and see this

Code:

Welcome to OpenViX for vuduo
openvix 3.0 vuduo




vuduo login: root
Password:
root@vuduo:~#

enter this code into the telnet window

init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 6

Ok just updated via telnet again to 722 as it would not allow me via the box everytime i update ive notice im left with this update to do and even with just this update it will not allow me to update, i think this is what is causing the problem

i advise removing the ocram picons before trying to update the image as updating with picons can easily take half a hour or more.
