Hi !

Ive tested to update my vu+ like always on the menu, but this time it would not start at all.
I tested to reinstall my image Open Pli 2.1 and it did start again, then the same thing when I tested to update, dead....

Then I have seen that i must update new bootloader and did that, then I try to take a newer Open Pli from 20120102 and then it want start att all. Know I cannot reeinstall at all. Only red LED on the front.

Is the bootloader detected and does it appear to flash?

No! Nothing is happening... only red LED. It´s not taking anything from USB stick.. only red LED.

You have the box powered off > 30 seconds?

You can check the bootloader using hyperterminal and null modem cable.

How To:
1. Switch your box off
2. Connect your box to PC via serial null modem cable
3. Open Hyperterminal and make connection to the serial port with 115200 bits per second
4. turn on your box and check the output.

You need to connect with hyperterminal using putty.

Having read your post on another board it would appear you have killed the box by loading the CFE for the Duo and not the Solo.
All you can do is hope VU release a fix for all the users that have managed to do this.

Ok! Thats not good. When i´ve done anything like that on a Dreambox then I can use dreamup to fix a dead dreambox with RS232 null moden kabel and it should fix even a VU+ I think. But it seems that VU util i tested not working. Have tested even VU util2.01. Any idees here?

Vu util never worked on solo from what I remember. Have you tried contacting vu themselves, and see if they can offer any guidance...
