    Not sure what you mean with 'placed all the files onto the root of a usb', but please make sure to leave the folderstructure in place.

    you extract the .zip file but you must also have the correct file structure on the stick otherwise it wont read the files properly. I dont have one of these boxes so i'm not sure of the exact file structure but no doubt some one who is will help as and when they see this thread.

    I believe that you must first flash the appropriate bootloader first to the receiver before attempting to flash the ViX image.
