[VU+ Duo] trying to update to latest image

[squig007]

hi ive been using an old image for ages and thought i would update to the latest . ive tried to upload the latest bootloader (but i dont know if it loaded correctly) i then tried to update the image but it just says reading usb and skips the updat any ideas ?

 

[judge]

Have you any other USB sticks in the back of the box?

 

[squig007]

no i removed the other one i had for my picons

 

[judge]

In that case, I'd download the image again, (ViX-2.4.151-vuduo_usb.zip) http://www.world-of-satellite.com/enigma2/openvix/index.php?dir=Vu+Duo/

Format your USB stick as FAT32
Try the bootloader again, it only takes a few seconds.

When extracting onto the USB make sure the bootloader & then the image are in it's correct folders.

when loading thebootloader does it say anything after reading usb ?

It's been a while since I did it on any of mine but I don't think so.
Someone else will jump in & correct me if I'm wrong.

If i remember correctly it should do the exact same thing as when flashing a image, although the time to flash the bootloader is only a few seconds but once done you should see the same message as a image flash ie remove USB stick and reboot.

right ive tried 3 different usb's and cant get it to load . this is what im doing:

1- i downloaded the boot loader duo_cfe_3_0_usb and once on my usb there is one folder vuplus - once i click on that it brings up another folder duo and once i click on that it shows two files cfe_cf_auto and then another file saying update . i insert the usb inot the front of vu+ duo and turn on reciever . it says reading for a few seconds and then gos onto start the box ( so i dont know if the bootloader has actually loaded)

2- once that is done i reformat the usb and load onto it the actual new image . again it has one folder vuplus then the next duo and then three files .i turn of vu+duo inser the usb into front of box and then restart . it says reading for a few seconds but just goes onto starting and doesnt load image - any ideas guys its driving me nuts lol

thansk phoniex - that difantley isnt happening either then

 

[squig007]

are there certain usb's that dont work correctly with the box ?

 

[judge]

Your folder structures are fine so.
Have you tried a different USB stick?

 

[squig007]

Not really. All USB sticks I have work perfectly & I've tried loads.
It's just some users seem to have issues with different brands.

Are you using an original box, not clone? & are you sure the USB stick formatted correctly?

 

[squig007]

yes box bought from sponsor - i formatted fat 32 . think ill leave it until tommorow night again getting late - thansk for all your hlep lads

It's an original so.
Try with everything else disconnected, just the USB stick in the front.
If that doesn't work, try the back USB ports.

you could also try with one of those memory card / usb stick readers if you have one, they work well. it just looks like the box is not picking up those USB sticks, it can be very picky but personally i have never had a problem with any stick.

These are the stick i tend to use my self and they work perfectly fine.

..... i then tried to update the image but it just says reading usb and skips the update any ideas ?

Can you explain what you meant by that?
What exactly did you do to get that message?

 

[stevesom]

im new to this but are you switching the duo on from the rear switch on the back with the usb in the front?

 

[sickboy]

sorry, but where is the "bootloader" is it in with the other files?
