You might need to update the bootloader again and then flash image

 

[Larry-G]

even if you already have the new bootloader on the box re-flash the bootloader first via usb stick then power the box down and flash the image via usb stick.

How do I do this reflash boot loader - My VU+ is not starting like the others - Great Christmas day!!

 

[Larry-G]

your Vu will restart if you flash it as for the bootloader it's exactly the same procedure as flashing a image from a usb stick.

 

[Prioryman]

Well, it's NOT working have tried 2 USB sticks - My I'm a bit pi**ed off.
