Dear friend, you have flashed your box with an updated designed and developed for another box.
Now you have two possibilities:
a) contact your relseller and try to change your box or send your broken box to Vu+ labs
b) try to find a solution at your own risk (JTAG for example)
I suggest to contact your reseller and if there are problems to replace your box, try the option b).
At this time (and for the future I think) there is not any kind of home-made solution to the problem you have made to your box.

read http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/hardware/port.jtag?s[]=jtag and http://www.hardwarebook.info/JTAG
these solution are applicable to router, and perhaps on stb too but.. it is the last resource
in the photo i can see a 5+5 header but I can't tell if it is really the jtag header

Eddi, i cannot see the attached file.
18 + { name: "rootfs", offset: 0, size: (128-4-4-2-3-1)<<20 }, /* rootfs is total nand size - 6 M Bytes. referr to cfe. bcm97335_devs.c */
19 + { name: "kernel", offset: 0x07200000, size: 4<<20 },
20 + { name: "boot", offset: 0x07600000, size: 4<<20 },
21 + { name: "splash", offset: 0x07a00000, size: 2<<20 },
22 + { name: "cfe", offset: 0x07c00000, size: 1<<20 },
23 + { name: "mac", offset: 0x07d00000, size: 1<<19 },

25 + { name: "nvm", offset: 0x07e00000, size: 1<<20 },
cfe should be at 0x07c00000 of your ic flash. If you are be able to program at least the first 0x4e344 bytes from file attached on my previous post, you should be able to program any image.

Try the file I attached here, maybe it will help you. I couldn`t resoolve the mystery of my VU+ Uno as the box didn`t want to boot up properly after the new image was loaded. No matter what image I used, everry time I got completely frozen box and a black screen on my TV. The only solution to make it work was to use a null modem cable. I used Vu utility 1.01 and it worked out! Hopefully it will work for U, too. Screens, soft and the original nfi file for Vu+ Uno V 5.10 is also in the pack.
I had a similar problem as my VU+ Uno was "dead" as my Integral EVO 4Gb flash drive is not compatible. After the image was properly loaded and receiver started booting up it got frozen. I use only BH image, so on the BH 1.6.6 I got only black screen (connected to tv through scart) or "loading image" if the receiver was connected through a hdmi cable.
There was VU+ Uno and a tiny HG logo on the display and the receiver didn`t work at all. With the BH 1.6.7 VU+ was completely frozen and I couldn`t get more than a "Starting" message on its display...
When I borrowed from my friends all their drives they had and used them one by one, everything was fine.
Usb drives that work fine with VU+ Uno:
Lexar FireFly 16GB:
Emtech 8GB:
Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4Gb:
Problematic drive is Integral Evo 8GB:
