Is the display working?
Try a different USB stick, and follow the instructions.

Ensure you download the correct image:
https://www.vuplus-community.net/board/forums/openbh-vu-ultimo-images.182/

Unzip the file and copy the vuplus folder onto a FAT 32 formatted USB stick.

Turn off your receiver, using the switch at the rear.
Insert the USB stick, and power back up.
You should get a message, on your screen, at which time you press the - button, on the front panel.
Once loaded you remove the USB stick and re-boot the receiver.

Ensure you have nothing else plugged into the VU+ Ultimo, when trying to load an image, if necessary even try removing the coax cables.

Try various USB sticks, the older, cheaper, versions are probably best. Try each of the USB ports, I think the Ultimo has 3.

Try re-formatting each USB stick, on your PC, to FAT32, before loading the vuplus folder.

Turn off the power button, at the rear, insert the USB stick, turn on the power button, and try keeping your finger on the - display icon, until it starts loading.

Try using DCC_E2, Dreambox Control Centre, on your PC, do a search, and see if your receiver is recognized as being connected to your network.

He still keeps not answering questions: how many times have we found out after many messages like these that they did not prepare the USB stick in the right way? 90% of the times the problem is the USB stick, and trying only two as he has done is too few.
10% of the times is a mistake in preparing the USB pendrive... I'm not going to ask it again.

Only if the receiver is a clone, but I don't know if there are any Ultimo clones.
All images are tailored to the specific receiver.
You could try loading the original image, from vuplus:
Code:
http://code.vuplus.com/index.php?action=repo
Or an early Black Hole image:
