VU+ SOLO 4K

I was thinking about a possible workaround, although I've never tried the way I'm going to tell.
Install the plugin AFB (Automatic FullBackup). It is able to "flash"using a folder put wherever you like: the internal HDD or a USB drive or even a NAS.
In theory, you could unzip the image you want, for instance in your internal HDD, so to place the vuplus folder and its subfolders and files there.
Then you can go to AFB configuration and set it to work from your HDD.
After you can use it to restore this image you copied in the chosen device: this can be done by AFB simply choosing the option to restore an image and then browsing the installation folder until you are in the "solo4k" one, the most internal, the one which contains the files for the flashing.
Then you can try to restore it.
AFB is also very useful to schedule your full backups on the basis you prefer. Before I switched to OBH (where this is possible without any additional plugins) I scheduled a daily full backup and this "saved my life" many times. If something goes wrong with your image, you can go back at the time it worked (the backups are identifiable by the date in their filenames).
If you don't have an internal hdd, you might be able to set AFB to use any other devices.
AFB makes possible to flash without even move from your chair ;)

Only, as I initially said, I never used it this way: when I needed to reflash by one of my backups, they had been created by AFB itself not manually copied. But, as it creates the same structure you do by hand, it might work ;)
Finally, the file I attach is the version 6.1. I saw there are newer version but I prefer to attach this one because it's the last I used personally.
