I have not changed the image of my Duo for some considerable time.I had lost access through the internet, so I decided to flash a new image i.e. 4.1.009.
On extracting I noticed that the 3 essential files - root,boot and kernel were not all present - the boot file is missing?
Needless to say it would not flash to my box, in spite of numerous attempts, using different usb sticks.
I then downloaded a different image - vti - and this worked first time.
I would like to stick to VIX images though. Can anyone help to solve the problem?

regards,

Jack

Yes I have Ashley69. Just got starting,then Duo opened the channel previously tuned to, did not find any viable files I think.

The content of the download of the image did not include the necessary file.IMHO that is why it didnt flash maybe?

I've not long updated a duo with that image. No problems. Are you putting the vuplus folder on the stick?

Yes - vu plus with a sub folder named duo. It just seemed odd that when the 3 files - boot,root and kernel - were present in the VTI image, that the flash worked with no problem. Did you download the image from the VIX Team images on this site?

Scrub my last two posts. I owe you an apology Ashley, I tried again and it worked! I must have used a usb previously that didnt work. Old age is a terrible thing!!

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.
