Vu Solo Not starting Help

[pazza07]

Any ideas would be appreciated, is there a chance it's totally knackered ? I really hope not

[Sicilian]

Sounds strange tbh, if it where knackered I'd say it wouldn't boot at all.

[pazza07]

Thats what I thought sic, but with it accepting the flash ok and reboots fine it just doesn't carry on to set up wizard. I just hope someone has had this problem before and can help me solve it.

are any of the remote buttons working when it gets stuck? try the up/down circle buttons.

Tried that judge, the green light on the box reacts with the remote but nothing at all changes on screen.

I know it may sound stupid.. But i have done this in the past and it worked..

Try an older vix image.. 2.2.1 or maybe even older.. Any one will do..

see if the box boots up with that..

If it does.. Then just flash the cfe bootloader again .. and then the Vix 2.3 204 image again and see what happens..

Hope this helps

Also and i'm sorry to ask this so please dont take offense but are you certain the receiver is not a clone ?.

i have compared it with the pictures against genuine v clone and im sure its not. if it is, is it dead ?

do i need the cfe bootloader for the earlier images ?

[Mr. Mister]

No.. The old bootloader is in the old image..

Just remember to flash the new cfe before you flash vix 2.3 204..

i'll give it a go now, let you know, cheers

[Larry-G]

The Newest Vu bootloaders are fully backwards compatible with all images including those with the earlier 2.6.18 linux kernel. I only asked if it was a clone as it it were you would need to update the receiver, however that is a topic we will not get into on this forum as we do not and will never support cloned receivers.

[pazza07]

Mr. mister, you're sounds silly idea worked, i've managed to load vix 2.2.1, and because i'm doing this box for someone else that's the image thats staying on it ha ha , cheers

[Mr. Mister]

Na buddy..

Im glad that it worked for you..

If i was you i would do a fresh download of the cfe and vix 2.3 204..

And just install them as normal..

There is a chance that your earlier download could have been corrupt..

So just down load the 2 files again.. and flash..

You have nothing to loose.. as you know the 2.2.1 works fine..

I took your advice and flashed the latest vix and all is well, thanks again to each and everyone of you for your help.
