HowTo flash/update Vu+ images

since I bought an original Solo2 have had problems flashing it and thought was a usb stick problem, so bought another brand going from Transcend 8GB to Kingston 4Gb.
a little better but after several formatting and copying in sequence :cry:.
Finally reading this board or elswhere I think have found solution:
Formatting the usb memorystick not with the internal Windows application but with a software called " hp usb disk storage format tool " .you can google it and find in several sites
if may help I'm using a very old pc with usb version 1 running xp pro !

another experience: when flashing do not extract the usb stick untill you are presented the bootlogo (don't mind you'll do it later)

P.s. : given the importance of flashing as first necessary fundmental step to enter the BlackHole experience,
I modestly suggest to moderators to give evidence to this step with a sort of sticky affecting us newbie users

hope I could help someone sharing my low knowledge of Vu and Black Hole world
by to all

Hello,

with full backup image on the settings of Vu+ solo2, you can restore your receiver with all its settings, drivers and plug-ins ???

You are OT here.
However, Full Backup is the backup of the whole image.
If you need to backup your settings, plugins etc., you can use Personal Backup.

I asked this, because i installed by mistake manually the drivers 20131224 for solo2 from Vu+ archive..But in the Black hole image, it was installed the 20131230 drivers...Do i have to keep the 20131224 drivers or i have to flash again the image??? i cant find nowhere the 20131230 to manually install...

I know, but the 20131230 is only for Duo2 not for solo2
There are no drivers for Solo2 dated 20131230.
Only image for Duo2 has been released with drivers of 20131230.
Others images for other receivers have been released with last drivers available for them (20131224).

I trust him, but i didnt get any answer to whati asked...

anyway, i suppose that he means that there is no problem to have 20131224 drivers with Black hole 2.0.9 or thats the right, even if blackhole 2.0.9 installs the 20131230 drivers

How do I get BH to display channel name on VFD display of SOLO2. It seems to display where I am on menu list but when I exit menu and watch a channel it doesn't show channel name. Currently the display says "Black Hole B" as I watch a channel.

Hello!
Én most vettem egy VU + Ultimo.
Próbáltam több USB stick, mind a három port, de a készülék nem látja az USB-stick.
Most egy nagyon régi verziót, 27.12.2011. vuplus_experimental.
Előfordul, hogy a készülék látható az USB stick, de nem tudja kezelni, nem frissül.
Sem a gyári programot, sem a fekete lyuk.

Sorry:)
Hello!
I just bought a VU + Ultimo.
I tried several USB stick, all three ports, but the device does not see the USB stick.
Now a very old version 27.12.2011. vuplus_experimental. Sometimes, the device has a USB stick, but can not handle not being updated.
Neither the default program, not a black hole. Unfortunately i can't updgrade online, i haven't wifi.

If you have an HDD, please verify if there is a vuplus folder. If exists, rename it and retry flash process.
