The log says that there is no space left on the device.
Which image are you flashing to it?
Whcih plugins are you adding?
Better to flash the latest image as older images are not being developed.
Hi thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to use one I downloaded from the openvix site (latest one)
And not.sure about the plugins?
Sorry if that's not much help but I'm not very good at this sort of thing!!��
Also how can there be no space left on the device?? I have a 500GB hard drive and there is only a couple of films on it???
the image is installed on an internal flash and not on hard drive

Image is stored on flash memory, not HDD.
Can you try and reinstall Openvix 3.2, build version 030.
OK so do I delete everything off of my USB stick??
And what USB socket do I use for the reflash front or back??
Format usb stick download and extract to the usb use front usb under the flap
OK so downloaded openvix 3.2 as you said, unzipped it and transfered it to my memory stick.
Plugged the stick in and switched on the box.
And I'm still getting good the same error message coming up??
Try a different memory stick small size i find better 256mb for example

How big is the file after unzipping??
Think around 52mb after unzipped sorry thats before its unzipped im sure someone will come along and let you know im not on pc right now.
Maybe you have done this! Click on openvix-3.2.030 release and open. You will see update file. Transfer update file to USB stick and then load to your receiver.
Maybe you have tried this! After unzip, click on openvix-3.2.030 and open. You will then see the update file. Tansfer updat file to to USB stick and load into you
The USB stick needs to be formatted as fat32 and if you browse the stick is there a folder called vuplus?
EDIT: Here's a link to the duo how to flash sticky http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?t=3
I have formated the stick and I have downloaded, unzipped and sent the file to the USB stick.
Plugged it in the front of the receiver and switched it on.
It says starting up then after a minute or two I get the same message as in my first post!! I'm sure it's something simple but I can't figure it out!!!��������
Can you not update via Image Manager from Hades :confused:

You haven't got any other usb devices plugged in the back have you? If so remove them, format usb stick to fat32 and transfer vuplus folder on...try and flash again

Not sure what you mean??
I have also tried downloading a hades flash thing from the openvix site and tried that but still no luck!!!
(Very nice avatar tho pal!!)
No mate only other things plugged in are ethernet cable,sat cable and power cable!!!
Besides the usb stick your using for flashing is there any more usb plugged into your machine
I think the best you can do is see if you can buy or borrow a smaller sized usb the smaller the better :thumbsup:
That's what I'm thinking I will see if I can get one tomorrow, thanks for everyone's help.

As in post 20, have you tried flashing using Image Manager. You do not have to unzip the file when doing so.

I had trouble flashing a. Vu Solo and tried to buy one and struggled to get one smaller than 4GBP and that would not work either borrowed a 256 and that worked first time .
Menu- Setup- Vix - Image Manager- press yellow - the latest image should be the top one- press green to dowload
Thanks but my box doesn't get anywhere close to me being able to push buttons!! It crashes and displays the message and then stops going any further.:confused:
You can still log in by FTP, remove any non-default skins to free up space.
When the box then starts up, you can use the image manager to flash.
Hi could I have a clue as to what things to delete via ftp as I can connect no problem by that.
Are u sure your Vu+ duo is not a clone ?.

The screenshot in your first post shows you're using a non default skin, remove that.
It will free up space & your box should then boot into the default skin, allowing you to reflash using image manager so anything else filling up your flash will also be removed.
Wouldn't of thought it was a clone as I brought it from world of satellites??
OK what file am I looking for in ftp as I just had a quick look and nothing said 'skins',

I don't know what FTP you use , I use Filezilla . Look for a file called SHARE open that , then you should see a file called ENIGMA2 open that and all my skins I have on my Mutant HD2400 are there. I assume that you can delete all the skins from there and just leave the default skin alone and delete all the rest. But bare this in mind I have never deleted skins this way I have always done it from my box. I hope this works for you and give you enough space to flash via Image Manager.
Have a look in /usr/share/enigma2/ for skins you installed.
Thanks everyone for your advise and tips, I'm so glad to say it's now working!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
By going into it via ftp and deleting my non default skin it rebooted straight away.
I have now updated the image via the box it's self so hopefully no more problems!!! :nono:
Glad to hear that , now you can watch Sound of Music it's on every bloody Xmas :D

.... And be careful what you install in future!
