Problems flashing Solo SE V2

**Mikinam** · 12-06-17, 18:42

Hi I have a new Solo SE V2 for cable and have been trying all weekend to add Vix as the image

I have tried various versions
on numerous USBs
each with the correct procedure... power down add USB with files added to the root folder power up

Never a single change to the LED on the front and obviously to the image within.

The box info shows 'image: Experimental 2016-03-23 and
'Version: 2015-04-22-vuplus_experimental_factory

Any advice would be appreciated

The files are not added to the root folder of the usb - you must put the vuplus folder (including its contents) in the root folder. If thats what you have been doing then try reformatting the stick with the HP format tool.

Thanks but I have tried it all ways.

Most downloads appear through 2 folders i.e vuplus as the root and then solose which holds the files. I assume it is just the solose folder that is copied onto the stick. I reformatted to FAT32 last night with additional software but no different. I have an 8gb Cruzer on it's way and we will see if that helps... I've been using the only one I have available which is 32gb

No it's the whole folder that is unzipped on your desktop

one thing we all have found with these boxes you need a good usb kingston,cruzer or integral 8gb in size and worth noting by tuts how box is flashed,is this not a vu solo thread? as things may differ in models.

Thats a load of ******** mate, I have flashed 9 different E2 boxes several thousand times with all kinds of USB sticks and SD cards etc, with no issues wha so ever. They used to be picky in the very early days of using the USB flash method but there not now. The only issue I have ever had was with a genuine Kingston stick that became corrupted and ultimately killed by a swap file that went bad during testing.

Your previous posts were in a thread about a different receiver. You will find the flashing guide for the Solo SE V1 and V2 on link below. Double check you have not missed/misunderstood a step.

Apart from the clean pair of underpants, all steps have been followed several times. Additionally, I have this morning found out that the satellite version I ordered in error, and then sold on, is also faulty. Can anyone suggest a reliable receiver for less than 250?

A Mut@nt HD51 maybe worth looking at.

Finally up and running... so thanks everyone for your input! For information, It was a new cruzer 8gb and formatted with the HP tool (takes ages but seemed to help) that finally flashed Openvix. Get some whilst you can before the smaller sticks become obsolete!!

I used the same memory stick to store the EPG and it has been corrupted. This is the 3rd stick that this has happened to and it's now getting a bit expensive. Is this normal?

**Andy_Hazza** · 01-07-17, 22:45

Do you have an external "powered" usb HDD you can use?

No, but I'll get one if needed. I'm more concerned with why they are corrupting. Each time I have to flash I will lose a stick!

**Andy_Hazza** · 02-07-17, 08:09

I've never encountered such issues. When you are formatting them to fat32 on your computer, you are removing the device correctly yeah?
