How to flash a VU+ Duo using a USB stick

[hanman]

Coming from a cable dreambox background i cannot believe how straightforward the above flash is..
I have one question as a newbie to the sat scene, what is meant by "Unzip the USB upgrade files" in step 4? What files are you referring to? do you mean the actual image itself? or does this imply other files other than the image?

The USB image files in most download sections, including here are in compressed zip or rar format. Therefore you need to extract the files first then transfer to onto your USB stick.

Hi mate

If you done things right then on your stick you will have a folder called vuplus... inside that folder will be another called duo.
inside the duo folder if u selected usb upgrade will be 3 files

boot_cfe_auto.jffs2 JFFS2 File
kernel_cfe_auto Bin File
root_cfe_auto.jffs2 JFFS2 File

This is your image that ur be loading into the flash

Just a thought on the subject of upgrade does anyone think the KCC prog cud install NIF to vu+ seeing it was for enigma 2 and the later KCC cud upload NIF to the kathrein?

Doubt it, VU+ has its own NFI utility http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/show...-the-VuUtility

Hi mate

Had a quick look at the vu+ via KCC it can see the box connection on ping - telnet & FTP only failed on login it also found system info on vu+ so maybe i will ask some questions with the KCC programmers and see if its able to be tweeked or they may develope KCC to work with the Vu+ the vuUtility is very basic compared with KCC and i think it wud be the perfect one stop tool for the vu+

I downloaded image 4.5 VU+ and still get the same b;ack screen.
Have I missed something? Please help,

Have you extracted the image from the rar/zip file?

Find the downloaded file, right click and select extract here. You will then have a folder called vuplus then another folder called duo with 3 files inside. Transfer the whole vuplus folder to the root of your usb stick. Format the stick first FAT32 with this tool first http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/show...SB-Format-Tool

The USB files required to flash are placed in the vuplus/duo folder in the USB drive.
There are 3 files whch if come in a zip, need to be extracted to the duo folder.
The 3 files are :
boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
kernel_cfe_auto.bin
root_cfe_auto.jffs2
