I already looked at his option went to a site to try and learn a little about this process but I feel this is outside of my capabilities as I have zero experience with kind of work, I would not even know where to start - simple truth I have never attempted anything like this. Just a question to you feel its just down to the USB stick not being formatted correctly via the mac as I might just pop around to a friend and try to format using his PC
Kind Regards

FTP stands for file transfer protocol, honestly mate it isn't magic, it's a way of transferring a file from one system to a folder on another system, if you can log in to this forum you can log into your box, you can even do it via an app on your iPhone or iPad.

I Know what you're saying buddy. It could be how the usb is being formatted. The file structure of the usb (root) should be;
vuplus > solo2 > (6 files)
When you insert the usb to the front, turn off the solo2 via the rocker switch and then turn back on, on the front display of the solo2 it will say Update! Press Ok, then on the front of the solo2 press ok and all is done on your part until the box reboots its self, pull the usb stick out and follow the instructions on screen and restore from your backup like before. :thumbsup:

I have seen the process done via the guys from the shop where I purchased the unit and who I know since many, many years but I am trying to avoid asking them each time a new update appears as they do appear so often, I need to be independent and learn it for myself without putting to much pressure on them as they have other valued customers to deal with.
I understand the process of updating even though I have as yet not managed to do it for myself, its all down to the box not recognising the usb stick and its contents at this moment in time. I also like to idea of pushing the file out direct to my box via the ftp option as DaMacFunkin and you have explained but for now I cannot see the woods for the trees as it is all so very new to me.

You'll get ther in the end buddy. Once your on the latest build you can use the online update facility again, its just cos you are on an old build. All will be good.

Good Afternoon Guys
Just thought I would give you all an update. I managed to get image 59 on a formatted usb stick and proceeded to flash the box, very happy to report that the update went as it should. The reason I selected image 59 is because I want to see if the latest image is available to me via the internal update process. Guys, once again thank you all for sticking with me and for your continued support
Kind Regards

Ronand,
Slightly off topic, I am in the process of updating my existing Lnb and have seen on the forum shop the same Lnb that you have listed, Inverto black ultra dual lnb is this a Lnb that you can recommend?

Hi Andy
I've tried the advise you gave here and it all worked, but when I try to restore the new image the box States error reboots and is back to normal. My build is 808 does that make any differance?

V.I.P,
808 is a very Old build and nothing like the present Apollo image you will have to do a complete Clean fresh install with none of your original backups I had vix 3.808 on my Solo2 in February this year and their has been Zeus/Helios and now Apollo images since then
