noob alert..

trying to flash this with little success.

Downloaded image , extracted to usb key. from root of usb key directory I see is /vuplus/solo2/ with 6 files.

Insert USB Key into front of Solo2 switch of , switch on ... box says starting , update ... I press power button to commence update.

VFD then displays erasing/flashing , then UBIFS update ... then a countdown for reboot.

Box restarts and I am presented with a Blackhole splash screen and it gets stuck at "Starting GUI".... tried some other non blackhole backup images and same problem.

If I re-flash vanilla BlackHole-1.7.9 then system comes back with my previous settings still present ... channels, wireless password...

Clearly doing something wrong with the flash process , but what ?

factory reset the box before you flash the image, this will clear the box of all stored info such as channel files, network setting, tuner config etc

That can't be a solution: when flashing a box ALL flash is cleared.
Aparently something is going wrong: the box isn't being flashed at all, in spite of the text on the VFD.

Ok - so its 03:39 lol and still fighting...

I actually tried a factory reset and when i restarted the settings for BH where still present. The giveaway was it still had my WPA2 password saved for my network , i guess this was saved on the HDD somewhere.

I disconnected the internal HD and flashed with another teams image ( sorry !!! ) this was just to test my theory and low and behold the image flashed ok.

going to reconnect HD and see what happens then bed...

[ferrari312]

Drive reconnected and it booted into newly flashed image as expected and detected that an HDD was plugged in.

Mmmm , little confused but will come back to this tomorrow and try the ViX Image.

According to the text on your VFD all seems to be fine.
You were not using any form of multiboot, were you?

[ferrari312]

Multi-boot - I don't explicitly recall installing/choosing or using multi-boot in any menu or plugin.

[Rob van der Does]

Then the only suggestions I have is to download the image again, disconnect any internal and external devices, and to flash again.
If possible make a log of the flash (via RS232), that will tell all that happens.

Just tested on several of my boxes: novacinema1 and novasport1 are both fine on 11823. Did you do a manual search with the correct settings (11823- Hor-27500-3/4-QPSK)?

i put at etc/tubox the latest sattelites.xml of reinhard and after automatic scan of hotbird i take these channels at 12207 , i had dreambox about 15 years ,i know how working enigma2.

its very strange problem,i have conect the lnb cable at tuner A and i have simple a/b/c/d diseqc configuration.

i have a manual favorites list of netmed provider,maybe this is a problem?

[redribo]

With manual scan all is ok,but why the automatic scan are not working with these channels?

[Rob van der Does]

i put at etc/tubox the latest sattelites.xml ......

Then you do it wrong: the file in etc/tuxbox is a systemfile and will be overwritten. The user file goes to etc/enigma2

There are how-to's about this on our forum.

You have a backup saved on your usb stick or hdd. Just ftp into the box and transfer it to your desktop, or remove the usb stick whilst you flash the box.
