    VU Solo clone

    I just purchased a VU solo clone from nextbay, It all come and is all okay as far as the eye can see.

    I have tried to load in Vix 2.3 via USB when booting and nothing happens, At the moment I have manually Intalled CCcam from a Tar file and Scanned in, Its currently on blackhole 1.6 ( Or something like that )

    I've tried to update with RJ cable and my PC has no connection to do so, I tried to update the Kernal then update to Vix 2.3 but no joy there either as it just booted straight up with no update etc.

    I would basicly like it with Vix OR Even what its on at the moment, I just need to get the simple Sgt Flip Flop installed and I'm laughing.

    Any help appericiated.

    Regards

          Its very likely then that you have a V1 clone which needs to be patched to take kernel 3.1.1 images.

            can i ask what color the controller is with your box and does it have the vu+ at bottom of controller

            also at the rear of your box or underneath see if there is a small v2 sticker if not its version 1 box

            to do the update you need a com port on the computer to do it

            no usb to com connector will work on these just com to com port

            the last solo,s i got had bh1.72 on them and v2 sticker underneath with black controllers same as duo with vu+ at bottom but have read some getting them with white controllers or controllers with no vu+ on them

              It has VU+ On the bottom of the controller, the controller is black and it also has a V2.0 sticker underneath.

                Then it is a V2 clone and as such should already have been patched with the IC security update to accept Linux 3.1.1 kernel based images. I would personally flash the newest bootloader to the box as it cant hurt matters plus it only takes a few seconds, also try a different USB stick as they are known to be a bit temperamental with sticks they will accept for flashing images.
