Real solo 2 HW ERROR after update

[judgey]

Hey i have a real solo 2 but after i have just updated it all i get "HW ERROR"


I can load up a very old ver of the firmware to make it work.


What can i do? I have had the unit for around a year.

i have removed the HD and anything else that could be causing the problem. The only image that works for me is VIX ImageVu+ Solo 2

13/05/2013-OpenViX3.0.664
kernel 3.3.8

are you absolutely 100 percent sure it's a genuine unit ? and where did you purchase it from ?. because only clones show the behavior you are showing.

100% mate did all the checks via the serial numbers. The company i got it from was Shopping4Satellite i could send it back but around 4 weeks waiting just trying to find a fix rather than send it back.
Is there a way it could be a kernel issue?

Did you upgrade the bootloader and What image did you upgrade it to and how

[Maxwell]

forget the bootloader question I thought it was a solo

[Larry-G]

There is no kernel issues as far as i am aware, and the HW error is very specific to clones and only clones.

Right now i have the image from the bottom of this page...

Seems to be the only one that works... Can they fake the serial numbers? I had to scratch it to show the number on the card

We're clones even available a year ago, don't think they were?

I have no idea how you could do a check via serialnumbers

It's a clone, mate.

[judgey]

im sure there was an app that come with it and a card you had to open and get the number

That accepts all numbers.

[judgey]

How u mean mate?

[Larry-G]

He means that it will accept any numbers you put into it, thus is not a reliable way to determine authenticity.

[Rob van der Does]

And even if that were not the case: were does the number come from? You think a company can clone a complete box, even to the level that it is almost impossible to see it's fraud, and then not be able to clone a number

[judgey]

Did not know the app did that, bit of a whore so i dont know then could be a fake, did u see the pics i posted?
