[edogg]

Use a REAR USB port.
Use a MAX 8GB USB stick.
Format your USB stick FAT32 using this tool http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?45-HP-USB-Stick-Drive-Format-Tool

Re-download the image, copy vuplus folder to root of USB stick and start again.

If you still have issues use a genuine kingston stick.

I have tried all usb ports and I did format the usb stick I also have 2 downloads of helios neither one worked but 808 worked first time

Your issue will either be your USB stick or files being used.:trustme:

take a look at the folder structure of the the image that is working and make sure it is the same for the helios image apart from the name of the image file itself.

i had this problem with my TM-twin not picking up the usb because the file structure was not correct.

I dont have a solo2. I have just downloaded the image to test what you say. There is no usr folder when I extract it.

Are you trying a backup image or fresh one from openvix.co.uk ?

A fresh image just downloaded the 006 version and your right there is no usr folder so 002 must have got corrupted

LOL.

Not the first person to do so. Sadly wont be the last either.

There is no usr folder on the solo one either. Best check PC for virii etc. Teracopy is a good program to have as it verifies transfers.
