Fallen, take us thru the upgrade process U try doing!
Do you have a HDD fitted? Did you do it yourself or was it supplied with a HDD and image?
I assume your PC is recognizing the USB sticks, as you have formatted them.
Have you downloaded the latest Black Hole image, for the VU+ Ultimo?
Are you using the USB port on the front of the VU+ Ultimo, behind the pull down flap?
Are you switching the receiver off, at the rear?
Do you get the "update file exist press the - button."?

No, i haven't HDD.
I did already, formatted, several USB stick, no results.
Yes, i have Black Hole image.
I used all three USB ports.
Yes, i switching the receiver off, at the rear.
Do you get the "update file exist press the - button. - NO! Because my problem, the device can't see the USB stick, and not doing upgrade.
Sorry, but i'm not totally beginner, but this machine is new to me. Many times I've updated a lot of other devices.
My problem, the device can't see the USB stick, and not doing upgrade. Or, sometimes can see 5/30 times, not doing anything, not be prompted to update.

Can you please check your Black Hole image file, you should have a vuplus folder, then inside should be a folder labelled ultimo.
You can download the file from this forum:
If you have the irght file then please try downloading it again, in case it's faulty. If the problem is with the USB sticks, all 3 of them, then you will need to try another one, borrow one, if possible, just to test it.
You load the file using the front USB port, on your receiver, according to instructions I've read.
If it still doesn't work please try aa different image, just to see if the USB stick is then recognized.

Have you tried a different image, like VTI, OpenPli, VIX, or just a different version of Black Hole?
Are you sure your USB stick is formatted to FAT 32, no other format?
Can you borrow someone elses USB stick, to try?
Have you checked that your receiver is genuine, and not a clone?
