since the other day when i updated the satellite.xml file, my solo clone crashed.
but now i'm unable to reload any image using a brand new usb stick.
it did have bh209 without a problem, but no good. tried various others, no good.
when unrar'd the usb does contain the relevant folders.
any ideas?

Youll need to be more specific about the version of clone you have for us to advice on the correct image to use.

when i got the box it had VIX image on it, and i installed BH209 via the usb method.
now cant load any image on it.
when i insert the usb and power the box, all i get is the green light.

Probably the box is been updated at BH 2.1.1 and now you need a new chip. For vu solo clone only Ferrari images.

it was bh209.
was ok until i updated the satellite.xml file
BH 2.09 was the last good image BH team for clone. After the new driver, in new images Bh, clean the flash of Vu solo clon. You now cannot flash your machine because flash is cleaned. Only solution is to buy another chip and replace the cleaned chip. Another solution is to send your machine in China (or your seller) for the chip reprogramming.

FILES ARE FOR V1/V2 BOXES ONLY.DO NOT FLASH THEM ON V3 BOXES

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE UpdateAllFlash TO FLASH OTHER FILES THAN THE SOLO_boot.bin .ALREADY USERS HAVE FLASH THE BOX USING THAT SOFTWARE TO FLASH THE CFE2 WHICH BRICK THE BOX.THE CFE2 FILE IS TO BE FLASH ONLY WITH THE USB PEN DRIVE
USE WINDOWS XP AND REAL COM PORT.USB-TO-SERIAL DOES NOT WORK.


HOW TO BRING A LIVE YOUR BRICK VU+ SOLO


First you have to make sure that you read the and watch everything before you start and the most important is to not mix the files (for SOLO and DUO )

In the video “one.avi” are the basic steps for updating the VU+ Solo box. That something goes wrong what you have to do is before you start the steps on video “one.avi” is to use the software and bin files to flash the boot (specially for RED LIGHT ) and then follow the steps on the video.

In the second video “two.avi” it is showing that not all the USB pen drives are compatible .The first one is 4Gb Patriot Supersonic pulse USB3 ,which doesn’t work with VU (ot it doesn’t work for me).Its took me many hours to find it out blaming my 4 PCs .The second USB is 2 GB no brand wink .As you can see from the video with the Patriot the box boot straight from the NAND doesn’t go to the USB and update the file and goes to the image .Whet I plug the second 2Gb pen drive the box stop and update the file from the USB (cfe_cfe_auto.bin or image files).
In the update_SOLO.zip you will find everything what you need.In the folder "ERASE" there is the software "UpdateAllFlash.exe and soloboot.bin " which you can use it in case that you got a RED Light or you want to start from scratch .Good Luck
Hope this HOW TO was in help.

.As you can see from the video with the Patriot the box boot straight from the NAND doesn’t go to the USB and update the file and goes to the image .Whet I plug the second 2Gb pen drive the box stop and update the file from the USB (cfe_cfe_auto.bin or image files).

I think
that procedure is very difficult. Already if in the box there was BH 2.09 ,very probably box is a V3.2 clone made in china still under warranty. My advice is to return item to seller.

Youll need to know what version clone you have before you proceed.

Thank you for the reply
i have the version 3.2

Here is what you need to do

1) Use small rs232 board connected to receiver and use rs232 cable connected to computer.

2) Power on the box

3a) Do Flash folder (update 1kb file)

Then

3b) Run UpdateAllFlash.exe on PC and choose the correct com port

4) Open "solo boot.bin"

5) Click update, it will show progress, wait it to finish.

6) Remove small rs232 board and cable

7) Power off, and power on again, box will finally start/boot, now you can use usb, update the image you want with USB Stick
