Vu+ DUO Boot Loader Updgrade

Hi,

I have a Vu+ Duo with a 500GB harddrive installed. I can not get it to accept the USB at all. There is some read/write activity from the stick then nothing.

Is it because it's a 32 gig stick? It's formatted as FAT32.

Can I just check the correct file positions? On my computer it shows as F:\vuplus\duo\[the two files are in this location]. Is that correct? No idea why it's not working :\

Try some older stick small capacity

Thanks, going to borrow one from my friend later!

Is there any way of manually updating the files via the ftp connection? Or placing a file in some kind of boot directory already on the box?

That is a fact, am facing the same problem with my Due, there is a solution, put a long ago by Matrix 10, I did not do it!
But try to search the forum for it!

Hey guys I've just been given a vu+ duo I've dealt with openbox and cable boxes before but never a duo. How do I go about deleting the line already on the box and adding my own

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 07600000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd2: 00400000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 00100000 00020000 "cfe"
mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "mac"
mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "env"
mtd6: 00100000 00020000 "nvm"

from the above table does this tell me it is the latest bootloader cfe3? because the usb port does as is expected ie get to remove and reboot..


i cannot load any images from usb, i can put some images in using nfi file and vuutil but they are old images from 2010 or 2011

so first off is it the correct boot loader?

can you recomend a usb image that might be newer?


thanks

Have you checked that your VU+ Duo is genuine, and not a clone?
You could try loading the official images.
