HowTo flash/update Vu+ images

Hello

I am new to this board.

I have a Vu+ Duo and want to update it to Black Hole. How and where can I download this? Thanks

You can find it on the forum:

You need the correct version, for your receiver, you state you have the VU+ Duo, which is the link provided.

Thanks Mick.. I downloaded it and extracted as described here. But when I turned on my box, nothing seems to happen. All what I can see is after the STARTING it displays the Vu+ Duo and on TV a timeglass is running ... how long it normally takes to update?

Thanks
 
You need to ensure that the USB stick is formatted in FAT 32 and recognized by your receiver, some aren't.
Then download the correct Blackhole file, for your receiver, unzip it, and you should have 2 folders, vuplus and inside a second folder just called duo, providing your receiver is a duo, and not other model, like the solo2 or duo2.
You then download the vuplus folder onto your formatted USB stick
Power off Vu+ Duo with switch on the back
Insert USB Pen Drive into the USB socket on Vu+ Duo
Power on Vu+ Duo
Image should auto install from the usb stick
Look at the display on the receiver, it'll display when the update has finished.
Remove the USB Stick
Power off receiver.
Power on Receiver.

A bundle of thanks goes your way.. I did almost everything in the same order as you described, the only difference was, I had already downloaded a wrong file (for DUO2) - that was the issue. After using your link I have now downloaded the right file.

The upgrade is finished successfully and it asked me to remove the USB and reboot.

However when I did that, it come up with STARTING info on display - and nothing more... what is missing now? Thanks for you help

Try turning it off, at the rear, and on again, it sometimes gets stuck when loading the user interface.

Either your receiver is a clone or you haven't updated the bootloader.
What bootloader version is your receiver currently running?
 
don't know how checking bootloader... But anyway right now i have an original solo2 and it works with last bh , but do you think the best cam is 2.1.4? it seems to me freezing more than 2.1.1?

Hi,

I'm on BH 2.1.0 and want to update to the latest version but before that I need some help.

I understand that if I want to have all my plugins and settings and channel lists again I will need to do Personal backup, just not sure HOW TO RESTORE the backup after update completed?
