Follow ALL advices you can find here: HowTo flash/update Vu+ images

You seem to have printed the instructions backwards, and you haven't mentioned holding in your power button, on boot up.
Format USB stick to FAT 32, download correct Black Hole image, for the VU+ Solo 2, unzip and load the vuplus folder onto your USB stick.
Power off your receiver, insert USB stick, power on receiver and hold in the power button.
If it isn't working try a different USB stick.

I'm now at a loose end disconnected the hard drive tried all 3 usb sticks again and nothing.... like i flashed the vix image on when i got the box with 1 of them usb sticks and now it won't work, any1 got a link to a blackhole image that definitely works, will any of the other usb ports flash the image or is it only the front 1 so i can't rule out broken usb port?

You can try a different port.It will do no harm but I very much doubt it will be the USB port that is broken

i recently bought a macbook air , which I'm sorry i did cause its a way different to any other laptop and stops me from downloading a lot of programs, anyway ill get used of it i suppose, once I've downloaded the image is there anything i have to do to it before i copy it to the usb stick?

It's easy enough mate once you've done it a couple of times.Just unzip the file with winzip/7zip etc then you'll find a folder called Blackhole 2.1.4 vusolo2 usb.Open that one and you'll find a folder called vuplus.Send that to a formatted fat32 usb stick and follow the flashing procedure as you have already been shown.Nowts the bother!
