Just found it on satpimps...

When you download a new USB image file you may find the folder names in the ZIP/RAR archive are incorrectly labeled.

So what you need to do is make a folder on your USB Pen (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/USB-Pen-Drive-2gb.html) drive called Vuplus (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Vuplus/)

Then inside the Vuplus (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Vuplus/) folder you make another folder called Solo (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Solo-Single-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Linux-Engima2-Satellite-Receiver.html)

So now you should have a folder in on your PEN drive root like this

Vuplus (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Vuplus/)/Solo (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Solo-Single-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Linux-Engima2-Satellite-Receiver.html)

Copy the following USB Image files from the ZIP/RAR achive to the Vuplus (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Vuplus/)/Solo (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Solo-Single-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Linux-Engima2-Satellite-Receiver.html) folder on your PEN Drive.

boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
kernel_cfe_auto.bin
root_cfe_auto.jffs2

Power Off Solo (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Solo-Single-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Linux-Engima2-Satellite-Receiver.html)
Insert USB Pen (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/USB-Pen-Drive-2gb.html) Drive in the front USB socket.
Power on Solo (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/Vu-Solo-Single-Tuner-DVB-S2-HD-Linux-Engima2-Satellite-Receiver.html)

The display window will show an orange/red LED constantly lit.
This means it's reading the data from the USB Pen (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/USB-Pen-Drive-2gb.html) into the buffer.

Then...

The display window will show the orange/red LED flashing.
This means it's now flashing the data to the receiver.

Wait until the LED changes to a Green Flashing LED.

When Green LED is flashing you can now safely power off the receiver and remove the USB Pen (http://www.goldwafers.com/cart/USB-Pen-Drive-2gb.html) Drive.

Now Power on and wait for the receiver to boot.
