    How to flash Vu+ Solo with USB Pen Drive

    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 drive called vuplus

    Then inside the vuplus folder you make another folder called solo

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

    vuplus/solo

    Copy the following USB Image files from the ZIP/RAR achive to the vuplus/solo folder on your PEN Drive.

    boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
    kernel_cfe_auto.bin
    root_cfe_auto.jffs2

    Power Off Solo
    Insert USB Pen Drive in the front USB socket.
    Power on Solo

    The display window will show an orange/red LED constantly lit.
    This means it's reading the data from the USB Pen 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 Drive.

    Now Power on and wait for the receiver to boot.

    check the firmware sections for the image you want to load and download the zip or rar file and unpack it on your laptop or pc
