View Full Version : Noob , VU+ solo, software update wont reboot
Hello all,
I have VU+ solo running vix, all was well and operational untill i did a software update from online to try rid my aspect ratio of blurred lines at side of screen.
Now my Tv won't see output from box. grren power LED is on and i have tried different cables and reset button but still nothing.
Hdmi cables proved functioning on other devices.
It must be doing something as green LED ok.
any pointers folks i'd greatly appreciate them.
Thanks
First question and please dont be offended, also please be honest.
Is the receiver genuine or a clone, I ask because the Vu+ hardware drivers contain anti clone measures and if your is a clone i'd rather not waste my time or yours chasing after other possible problems.
if it's genuine have you tried flashing another image ? go to www.openvix.co.uk for the latest stable releases.
Thanks for your honesty, online purchase setup, im prepared to flas etc on my own, it does respond "LEd flashing" with remote. Ive no scart cables to see if any other output works.
How can i tell if its clone or not?
Take a picture of the back and internal and should be able to tell.
grrr, frustrating, back to boxee box with navi x grrr.
It came all set up so not sure about which ccams was installed or anything? do i need to subscribe again?
could try flashing but have no display so could be farting against the wind =) , thanks for the support Phoenix

I'm sorry but we cant help with that kind of thing here, we can help you setup the receiver with a legitimate card and subscription but not with illegal methods of receiving channels, have you contacted the person you purchased the receiver from ?
I have been in touch, waiting to hear back. Does it look genuine to you?
I cant really tell by those photos sorry. how much did you pay for the unit if you dont mind me asking ?.
You probably still have ftp access.
Back up your cams /usr/softcams to your PC.
Don't forget the config files, if the cam is cccam, it'll be /etc/Cccam.cfg
Then after reflashing, you can restore them easily.
£200 eeek, will try flash it
Whats the best way to connect? , apologies for silly questions
There are no silly questions mate, if you can still gain access via a FTP client then do that and do as judge says.
whats best ftp client to use? ip address etc?
We're not going to be able to tell you the IP of the box, if you don't know it you're either going to have to scan your network or look at your routers web interface.
As for FTP client, it's down to personal choice, I use filezilla
https://filezilla-project.org/
It looks like its genuine.
Does it> had to remove tamper stickers etc so there goes my warranty lol
Why would you void it by removing the covers, its designed to be opened up
ALso ,moved the thread as its in SOLO2
What stickers did you have to tamper?
a gold void tamper seal and a paper one on side of screw
network card looks ok, but slow polling by the looks of it
used to show up on my boxee box , nothing there now, also no device in bthub manager
guess ill lose all my ccccam data and cfg files if i flash if no comms
Yes, you will lose cams/configs/settings/timers & so on by flashing.
Did you do an online update recently? if so, it would have created a back-up for you.
yes thats what caused the issues, updated software on line and it wont boot to splash screen or give output?
i flashed from usb as couldnt connect ftp or see it on network
looks as thought is flashing ok , according to posts, correct led phases etc, but still no display?
Flash an older build from http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Vu%2BSolo/ & let us know if that works.
was 735 i tried, will try 726 as a few have d/loaded
nothing, all looks ok after flash led status etc, just no hdmi out?
Try a scart cable if you have one and see if you get video output that way, it's possible your HDMI port failed albeit unlikely.
Try an older build, not sure what build the VU drivers were updated in.
Also, have you a scart cable to check output with?
ok gents i will do, thanks for all the help so far
Do you know which image build it was on prior to the update ?,
go here http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Vu%2BSolo/ and try several builds make note of the build numbers you try and the results and let us know how you get on.
vix wouldnt load or ? got as far back as 726, tried BH whih gave me my screen back, will try latest of vix now,? fingers crossed

We're going around in circles here...
Try an older build as suggested, Even build 600, oldest available on http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php?dir=Vu%2BSolo/ would do.
Don't restore anything, let us know if it works.
If not, try a scart cable & let us know if that works.
Try going further back in the ViX builds to say 688 - 700 and see if those versions load, if it does then it's the drivers that are causing you issues.
tried 702, as its had most D/L but still no joy?
BH worked just seems bizarre or im doing something stooopid
ok 600 works , can i recover earlier backups from previous issue?
this all started on from an online download from vix itself.
i can ftp also... please advise if i can get earlier setup, ? and what folders to look in
thanks in advance

Hi Mate
ok if you managed to get back image in the setup did you get any option to restore settings if so files you need to look at are
user/softcam your main CCcam bin
Var/etc for the other 4 CCcam files which includes your .cfg the one that allows you connection to whoever it was
and make sure you have var/keys data too
make sure you update to piror build that crashed your box ... nobody has said its a clone so prob just a glitch one can hope in the install biggest problem with these boxes is like computers when they hang updating people think somethings wrong and start to tinker pulling plugs etc you have to let them do there thing
new image, all done thanks folks

I'm sorry to hear that your yet another person who has been duped into buying a clone, i hope you can understand our stance towards clones and why we cant offer support for them.
