1 try another USB key (4gB or 8gb).
2 - to flash your receiver first unplug it from power, insert the usb then plug the receiver to power ... you will see the receiver led blinking (and if you have a led on the usb it will blink too, meaning that the receiver is reading from it).....you have to wait until your receiver stop blinking and the led will be green. restart the receiver and voila.
3 - if the both step did not help you, return the receiver to the seller.
I succeeded to flash my VU+ Solo receiver finally. Thanks!
As you said the receiver should be unplugged from the power in order to start the boot process. But I only switched it off and on which was not enough. The VUPLUS on site instructions say "switch the receiver on and off" which is confusing.
The only strange thing was that the LED blinked without stopping during upgrading - I waited 45 minutes and it continued to blink and did not change to constant ON. I was afraid, but fortunately, after restarting the receiver the new version started working!
Note: Prior to flashing the image I upgraded also the BOOTLOADER version (maybe was not needed) with the same LED not stopping to blink result. So I don't know whether it changed or not.
I have some questions:
1) Do you know how to see the Bootloader version ?
2) Is it possible to define groups of interest in Favorites and then to put several channels under each group? For instant groups:
Italian->RAI 1,RAI 2, Canale 5, etc...
German-> ZDF, etc...
French-> TV5, ARTE, etc...
Note: My other receiver ABIPBox 910HD does it very easily this way.
3) There is a problem with the newest image: When looking the ZDF channel and enabling the teletext page 777 for subtitles, the thick vertical line is present on the right side every time the text appears. When disabling teletext the line is not shown. Doing the same with the ABIPBox 910HD receiver the teletext subtitles are correctly shown without the line. This should be a bug in the image. Whom to speak to correct this bug?
