[VU+ Duo] Still having slight problems with new VIX

[birdman99]

tryed all that reporting back to say still not working.something wrong.

 

[Mr. Mister]

ok.. try this..

Flash a totally different image to the box.. ie.. Blackhole or something..

allow it to boot up.. When you are asked to put in your set up details.. Turn of your duo..

Then flash the Vix. 203 204 image..

I did not use any bootloader.. and all went perfect.. on all my duo`s.. and has been totally stable since flashing..

Hope this helps..

done that and its worked,yeeee.also didnt have my ethernet cable in not that i thought that would effect it but might be wrong anyway ive got it on thanks everyone will report back.kept re formatting the usb everytime i used it also.

please carify

have you now loaded the boot loader/vix image or blackhole, without boot loader, or blackhole with bootloader?

Be careful with that mate, the bootloader was created for a purpose and loading any linux 3.1.1 kernel based image without the bootloader present could lead to a lot of troubles even if it's only flashed the once thats more than enough.

Cheers Pheonix.. I understand..

It was just that the above worked for me.. When one of my duo`s was stuck on starting..

But yeah.. That could have been bad advise..

Sorry for that..

No i never not used the boot i relise that is a recipe for disaster.
I just installed old image then done factory reset then re done by formatting usb before each step ,flashed boot then image and now have latest image on that was advised by silicon on this post.
Just to let everyone know,not using the boot is not a good idea.

 

[Larry-G]

if you have flashed the bootloader even just once that's fine and that's all that's needed. The only reason we ask thet people flash the bootloader in these situations is because flashing it takes only a few seconds and even of you have already done it, no harm will come to the box but if you dont flash it at all you could end up with a very expensive paper weight.

Hi guys I bought a box a week ago. Stef pre-flashed the box with VIX image which I picked up. Got it set up and every so often it locks up and crashes. I have sent in the logs via the box but it seems to be a epg problem.

I am thinking of restarting and re-flashing the image. Whats the best way? I think and presume that the boot-loader was updated when Stef flashed it but how do I check?

Kind regards

Raj

Actually, just went in to change the channel for my toddler and the box crashed i.e. became non responsive

Dont reflash just yet.

Go into menu>information and tell us what the version info is.

Also did you setup EPG or the sponsor?

If you can you post up your settings please.

Stanman

information from the box as follows

Kernel 3.1.1
drivers 2012-01-27
version 2.3
build 204

Not sure what else you need

 

[Stanman]

The bootloader has been updated, so you dont need to do that.
