Tried installing some picons and the box froze. pulled the power and now the box is stuck with just red light . how can i flash a new bootloader.? A detailed tutorial and tools would be handy If anyone knows how to recover the box:) tried unplugging and leaving it. i have a null modem cable if this will help?
just put your image on usb in front usb and it will reboot from that.
Vu duo does not come with null cable, if yours did suspect you got a clone box?
