    I'll re-pack the file and re-upload so it extracts into its correct folders.

    Followed this perfectly when I did my first flash. However, I made a few changes that the box wouldn't keep, so I wanted to reflash it...

    Put the stick in to the front usb port, and it came up very briefly with "Reading USB" or whatever message, and then started to load the previous image...

    Had to remove the usb stick in the back of the machine for it to actually flash using the front usb... Now, I'm likely to flash it using the front usb for ease of use, but don't really wanna have to keep removing the rear usb stick to do this... Is there any way to make it read the front usb first (as it looks to me like it's reading the rear usb, thinking no file to flash, and then starting up...)

    No, you have to remove the rear stick when re-flashing.

    Sorry if this the wrong thread to ask this, but how do I keep all my current settings and try out a new image?
    Since receiving the box a week ago the only thing I have done is flash it with the latest Pli image.
    This morning I thought I would try the latest official image Ver4.8 which I got from your link and flashed, but of course it just effectively starts from the beginning asking for language, tuner settings etc.
    Fortunately I had followed your guide to taking a backup so was able to flash back and everything was as before.
    Having spent ages setting up different satellites for the positioner is there a way to save some settings files first, flash with the official image, then apply the saved settings on top?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I downloaded the VIX image but there is two files in the section:
    (1) VIX_V1.0_Team_Image.nfi
    (2) VIX_V1.0_Team_Image.zip

    What is the purpose of the .nfi things?

    Am I right in thinking that I need to extract the .zip folder on the USB Stick duo??

    Thanks

    The nfi is used if you are doing a multi-boot by using something like barry allen.

    Just extract the .zip file, and use that

    For the channelsettings you can use dreamboxedit
    Code:
    http://dreambox.happyllama.com/
    With it you can transfer files between your Vu+ and your PC back and forth as many times u wish.

    You have to put the vuplus map on your usb stick, not the nfi image for flashing!!

    You can do that with VuUtil, power of the box on the rear, choose the right comport, fill in the ip of your pc, fill in the ip of the vu or choose dhcp, then press connect if the connection is ok, you see the message Serial port open success. Please turn on your box.
    Then switch it on at back and got to the place where the nfi file is located and flash.

    After flashing you get the message Complete flashing all, now first click on disconnect en then press exit, turn the box off and on.
