    Cannot flash new firmware 4K solo

    Can anyone help?

    I've been trying now for days to upgrade my Vu Solo 4K box with the latest OpenVix firmware with no success. I've been using the USB method. Formatted a 2GB USB drive using the HP-usb formatter method (FAT32) as suggested. Copied all the firmware unzipped files into the root of the USB. Tried the USB stick in every USB socket on the Solo but ALWAYS it ignores the new firmware and keeps booting up into the existing old firmware (4.1.06). I've tried unplugging the Hard Drive, copying the files into Solo4K folder etc etc. Nothing works. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Gosh, Just found the info on Imagemangaer. It is SO complicated. I am sure I would never be able to use it. Is there a simpler way?

    download latest zip from forum downloads - suggest 5.3.007 and then copy the whole zip file to your HDD into directory imagebackups.
    Then in ImageManager select in list and blue button flash

    Thanks again for your time nad advice. Something wrong though. I did what you said and downloaded vers 007 and FTP'd it into the imagebackups folder on the Solo HDD. It then appeared in the Solo list of backups but when I clicked on the blue button a little window said 'Sorry this machine is not supported yet'.

    You must be on an old version of ViX on your Solo 4K. Confirm which image you are on please.

    I did mention it earlier in case it was an issue. I'm on 4.1.016. It's been on for nearly 4 years on this version I think. Cheers.
