But its image manager that doesn't work in 037...

I think I've figured it out anyway, I formatted the usb on my Mac which defaults to guid not mbr... Job for later!

Did you manage to get it sorted? I was advised to get a new USB pen but I've got a Mac too so I don't want to go and buy one only to find out it doesn't work. It would be much appreciated if you could advise if you fixed it. I have exact;y the same problem with a Solo 4k.

Until there is a separate partition on the Solo4K, you will not be able to flash an image using Image Manager on Vix. You can create an image backup though.

Hi abu

Not sure if you're responding to me or not but I'm aware there are issues with image manager on the Solo 4k. I'm asking whether a solution was found. I've been advised that I need to buy a new USB and use a formatter, so I'm going to do that. I have little confidence this will work. The USB drive I used only a month or so ago worked on v3.x. But Now v4.x it shouldn't work?

I also have a Mac so I'd rather not install Windows software if I don't have to, so i was asking the OP how he'd got on as he has a Mac.

Hi, yes I got t working, very simple.

On Mac format the USB stick but make sure it's set to FAT and master boot record (MBR). Once it's done that simply copy the update files to USB and pop it in the device. Should take a few minutes at most.

The box is a Linux system. You can format most things there if you wish. (You'd need to install dosfstools to format a vFAT file-system).
