    A mate's new Vu+ Duo with OpenPli preinstalled got bricked after an online update of OpenPli. Nothing helps to revive the box, remains stalled at starting.... Looking at different options to cure this since nothing of the traditional approaches seems to work.

    Maybe, but there are other people having the same issue on older boxes, those from a clone-free time. The box in question was returned to the seller but this still leaves me wondering if a similar approach but perhaps with different parameters would work to revive a dead Duo.

    I already had to revive my Duo (100% not a clone) from a only-red-light-in-display situation by replacing an Elco on the motherboard. Without getting a vital hint online, the box would either have been binned or send for (expensive) repairs. Now it took me an hour and about 50 euro cent for the Elco.

    if you have a duo, please post in the correct section, and obviously start a new thread, even if you have a solo, its best to start your own thread

    the reason is, other peoples threads are dedicated to them to solve there problem, your problem although simular, is,nt likely to be the same problem, this will lead to confusion

    thank you

    you are correct, in that the orig post has deviated, ( I had not read the entire thread ) but you have a duo, which is what alerted me to your post, and my reply was,nt a reprimand, just advice,
    any way, hopefully, we can assist you in your new thread

    I tried the fix on the first page of the thread which worked for me once but the box reverted back to red light and unresponsive after a day or so. Now I cannot connect via serial, I get this or similar every time I start the box:

    BCM73250010
    0▒▒b
    K1
    K2

    K3

    K4
    It seems like the bootloader(?) is being corrupted or something along those lines. Is it possible the flash memory is done for? Does anyone have any ideas, or should I just give up on it?
