    VU+ Solo Help

    Hi, my friend has asked me to flash the latest Vix image for him, he has Vix 2.3 204 on his box at the moment. I have tried flashing Vix 3 2 037 but not having any success so I reflashed Vix 2.3 204 which flashed with no problem. Can anyone give me any tips/help please.

    your right! try reflashing with the newest image. the solo is a very old box now and may not handle the recent image as well as the last image your on. sometime flashing doesn't work and at time retry does the trick. or try 036

    report back whatever happens

    if you where using a legit copy of openvix image the bootloader should already be installed on box. am sure you can check this or not to honest.

    please see link below to bootlaoder for solo. I suppose if the image doesn't install you could try bootloader first then the image.

    these boxes are old and tend to have difficulties in managing the newer image. maybe time for newer box.

    it maybe worth keeping the older image if you tend to keep the box

    It could be a clone receiver, thus why newer images won't flash. Personally I would stick the 3.0.808 image on the Solo, as it runs way better. And ftp the latest AutoBouquets folder to it and you have an up-to-date ABM then. (Make sure you grab the AutoBouquets folder from a MIPS receiver n not an ARM one.
