Solo2 wont boot

[nickpsar]

Good morning guys, I need your help desperately,

My fully working Vu+ SOLO2 suddenly stopped booting. First the message "Starting.." shows on the box and then screen is stacked in "VU+ SOLO2" but nothing else happens. It is unreachable. Also Ethernet port is not working. When I am trying to flash new image despite that the procedure finishes successfully I am facing the same situation, receiver is stacked in "VU+ SOLO2".

Thank you in advance!
Nick

In my experience if you successfully perform a fresh flash and it won't boot it is either:
Hardware fault (Not unlikley but rare).
A clone receiver (very likely and not so rare).

id go with DaMacFunkins suggestion. can you reply back with Avalon's comment

Receiver for sure is not a clone. I bought it from the official reseller in my country. I have tried to flash almost all the available firmware with different usb sticks.
I was running blackhole 3.0.2 f before the problem appeared

[john doe]

are you able to reflash with black hole with no problem?

[nickpsar]

You did remove the USB drive after flashing didn't you? Boot it with just HDMi/Power and see if that helps (no network cable or sat feeds).

Same situation . The weird thing is that new firmware is uploaded successfully but after restart is stacked in ''vu+ solo2''

I am not able to flash my box.

follow post 10 and report back, to inform if it worked or not.

if its a genuine solo2 there should be no issues with flashing vix or blackhole and if you followed the right method of flashing. if you are unable to flash the old BH image back on the box, then this suggests clone.

Update: Lan out - HDD out - vix image inside usb stick- hp format tool used
Exactly the same problem. Here is a video with the hole procedure

Have you tried the rear USB port?

Yes of course I tried rear usb also. Same situation again

I would try a ViX Apollo 001 image or ViX 3.0.808 image. If they work, will confirm you have a clone receiver.

the flashing process is fine, by looks of the video. have you tried a different usb stick? or try what andy has suggested, as that will confirm if its a clone or not. I had similar issue years ago with vu duo tured out a clone

[nickpsar]

I think there some indicators to ckeck if a box is a clone or not. For example the magnet in the front door etc. Any way I 'll give a try with the images you propose.

Were I can find these images? Can you send me a link?
Thanks
