Hi,

My Vu Duo just showed an error message and restarted. It won't start back even after several hard resets.

What do I do? Please help :(

What is on the front screen?

Have you tried re-flashing bootloader and image?

Have you tried booting without Ethernet connected or any internal HDD connected?

It says starting... on the front screen.
there is no internal drive and I have tried with the external USB HDD removed.
I have also removed the vu duo wireless dongle and yet no luck.

I have no clue how to reflash! :S

A bit more information. I think there was a problem with the external HDD connection and it gave an error message saying memory full while trying to record from a preset timer.

if you received a memory full message it's likely you filled the internal flash up.

How can I get some space free from the flash up?

Best to do a reflash.

I don't have a copy of the cccam.cfg file. Will a reflash delete that file? Also, I don't have a USB disk on me at the moment. Any alternatives? Otherwise I will need to buy one tomorrow?

you cant, you need to reflash the receiver.

is there anyway to save the cfg file? or is that gone too?

Yes, even though it's stuck on starting, there is a good chance you can still ftp into the box & back up any cams/config files you need.

if the image wont physically start up so that you can gain FTP then no its lost but then again if your abiding by our rules and you have your own card setup in the receiver you can just set it up again. if not then you will have to go else where for that help as its a breach of our rules.

HGi,

Managed to reflash... Box seems fine now...
How can I install bouquets and picons.... Those aren't there anymore?

Thanks

you can install them the same way you always have, there is a very large section full of both on this forum.
