You can Flash Via the RS232 Com Port with null modem cable you will need the VU+ Util program available from there website (I Think) and also the image will need to be in .NFI format

you can get the official firmware from vu on this link

http://archive.vuplus.com/image/2012/7.0/

the file you need is the first on the list
vuplus-image-bm750
with a null modem cable only use the nfi image
this should clear the box then you can flash the image
of your choice with a usb stick

usb sticks with vu are fussy and only a few work,kingston,cruzer,integral. i always format them on old xp laptop to fat 32.
