[VU+ Duo] Vu duo stuck on start up.

[mad_footie_lad]

Hello, i have a vu duo that the sound suddenly stopped. only way i could get it to work was turning it off and back on again. id had enough so reflashed the image but now i cant get it to pass the loading screen, ive tried all different images, old and new and i cant get it to budge. There no access via the remote controller but can access via control center on laptop via telnet and ftp. Any idea's im just stuck what to do next. Its so frustrating.

Orginal or clone?

Try formatting usb again and try fresh flash.

I've tried several times, its and original box ive never had problems before with any image, i have formatted usb to FAT32 everytime then loaded it with new image direct from source. but still nothing, just stuck on loading screen no matter what the image, but can still get full telnet and ftp access

red light has gone off and the screen says vu duo and a small HD symbol above, and my television screen showing spinning vix symbol.

Could you try flashing an image without a HDD connected?

i've disconnected the internal hdd completely, installed the new image via the front usb port with only the power lead and hdmi connected in the rear.

Format the usb using the HP usb formatter or do a FULL format and try.

Sounds like bad flash or something stopping it from booting up

Okay thanks, do you mean full format of the USB or the vu box? If so the box how should I do this?

Thanks for your help!! ��

... just full format the usb stick.

 

[mad_footie_lad]

Okay well the process I've been doing is as follows...
Format USB to fat32. Then load latest bootloader. Safely remove from Laptop. Plug into front USB port of vu duo with only power lead and hdmi connected at the rear. Turn on box, USB reads and conpletes within seconds. Reboot and remove USB.
I then format USB again to fat32. Install new or old build (I've tried server all old and new) insert into usb slot on duo and switch on at rear. It does the update and installs Untill remove and reboot screen comes up. I remove the USB and turn off then back on again. But it's still stuck on the same loading screen. I don't think it's the USB, I think it's something on the box stopping it from loading but not a clue what as it was working fine till I had the problem of no sound, this being the reason I reflashednin the first place..

You said before that telnet was still working.

If it still is, try "init 4" to stop enigma, and then "init 3" to restart it.

Are there any crash/debug logs?

 

[mad_footie_lad]

ive tried init 4 and init 3 and nothing happens, i;ve tried lots of different builds and still stuck at the same screen, what would be the telnet command to check the status of the system to see if any bugs or errors are present?

thanks for all your help

 

[ccs]

Crash logs are usually held in /media/hdd/logs

 

[mad_footie_lad]

Still nothing, ive tried lots off different images old and new still nothing. I did telnet command of init 4 followed by enigma2 and ive attached a file with the readings it kicked out..

Do you have a USB mouse or keyboard plugged in?

 

[mad_footie_lad]

No mate nothing, i'd disconnected the internal hdd and only have power lead and hdmi cable connected at the rear. This is all i had connected all the way through flashing. it doesnt load up at all so i plugged ethernet cable into the back so i can telnet to the box. But still no luck??

What image was that log from:

Just that it starts with:

BlackHole 3.0.3 bm750
bm750 login:
root

root@bm750:~#
...

and it doesn't look like a Vix log to me (although a VU+ Duo may look different...).

I tired a blackhole image as it wasnt loading on vix, but it comes up with the same for what ever image i use. I want the vix image but i cant get it to shift from the vix logo spinning..?
