vu+ Duo hangs at start

[malacai]

hi. have a huge problem with my vu+ since i flashed from usb..
now my box dont want to "read usb" in the startup, i have tryed about 10 differnent pen drives and fat32 formated aswell. and the box refuses to scan usb. as shown in the video link below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_43-LW5sHSs&feature=related

so i hooked it up with serial cable and have tryed to flash alteast 20 different images.. all from org to pli.
tested both vuutil 1.0 and vu+util 2.01

vuutil says ok...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9lI_oIXFy0


vu+util 2.01 stops at 70% and the VFD on vu says continuing.... and no more..

here is a paste from my terminal

ctrl + c just stops the vu in a short time, need to ctrl + u aswell to manual usb.. if a usb is inserted @ start.

do any one have a clue what i can do to make this box work again? and yes its a 100% orginal vu+duo

/regards malacai

[mcquaim]

Are you flashing with the bootloader first before trying to flash the new image?

[malacai]

in vuutil is doesent work at all to flash bootloader, but in 2.01 it works.. but i get a faulty message.. dont realy remeber what it says.. but i can try another bootloader flash and give u the exact faulty message?

[Sicilian]

Is this a genuine or clone unit?

[malacai]

this is 100% genuine box

[mcquaim]

Try it without using Vu Util, I never use that..

Simply download the files from the link below and extract them onto a USB stick:

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?14236-Vu-Duo-ViX-2-3-(Linux-3-1-1)-Image-Release-s

This is the note from the Image download page about the bootloader:

This image requires the latest bootloader (attached to this post) to be flashed. This is because Vu+ have changed the way the drivers work. So, before updating your image, you will need to first flash the bootloader, then flash the new image. Flashing of new bootloader only takes a few seconds, so once flashing's completed, then just turn off the box, transfer the new image to the usb stick, and flash with that.

Try this and see how you get on..

[malacai]

well i can give it a try.. but i dubt it.. cos i cant get my vu to read from usb in anyway.. :/

[malacai]

nah.. since i cant get it to read of usb.. no go..

[mcquaim]

This looks like a query for the big guns, no power to the USB ports is a worry :confused:

Some of the lads will post a reply shortly I'm sure with some ideas to try!

[sonc]

In the video it looks like you still have the internal HDD attached. I would suggest removing everything, HDDs, rear USB sticks, network connection, power lead, then leave the box for at least 30minutes.

Then attach the power lead, insert a USB stick (front port) that you know has worked in the past (with the correct /vuplus/duo/* directory set-up), and give that a try.

[malacai]

i have power on the usb, but its seems like somehow it skips the "i want to check the usb first"..
sata+power is disconected from the hdd.. aswell as hdmi etc.

and big thanks for trying to help me

/regards malacai

[micscave]

This happened to me using a USB stick that I knew worked. On that occasion I had formated it using a 3rd party program. Once I formated it to FAT32 in windows, it worked again & has done ever since.

Worth a try.
micscave

[malacai]

i have used hp storage format tool.. and fat32 for all my pen drives.. :/.. have tested windows format to fat 32 aswell :/

[malacai]

no one has any other suggestions and try usb... i can promise.. it wont boot usb.. box totaly skips that step when power on.

[Rob van der Does]

I would suggest removing everything, HDDs, rear USB sticks, network connection, power lead, then leave the box for at least 30minutes.

Then attach the power lead, insert a USB stick (front port) that you know has worked in the past (with the correct /vuplus/duo/* directory set-up), and give that a try.
I agree with removing all stuff first.
Using front or rear port should make no difference: try both
Make sure the USB pen only contains the image folder.
Format the pen with the attached program.

[malacai]

sorry.. allready done that like 50 times

[Rob van der Does]

sorry.. allready done that like 50 times
Then I guess there's only one conclusion: hardware defect.

[pooface]

Try connecting the rs232 and putty to get the log, then plug in the usb, and turn on the box. Post the log from putty...

[malacai]

this is when i start the vu with a usb inserted in the front:

[ekkostar]

Sounds pretty much like the USB stick.

VU is particular about the flash memory on a pen drive. You may need to try a few until you get one that works. Try use an old small memory size flash if you can, format FAT32.
