Hallo

Habe heute eine neue VU+Solo2 bekommen. Habe verschiedene Images ausprobiert auch das VTI 6.0. Habe mich jetzt fuer das OpenPLi 3.0 entschieden weil es schlank und nicht so überladen ist.
Nun habe ich aber folgendes Problem: Beim starten der Solo2 erscheint erst das VTI Boot-Logo (Bootloaderlogo ???) und erst danach die OpenPLi Screen. Wie bekomme die VTI Startscreen weg?

Danke für die Hilfe

By flashing the attached splash screen (the same way as you flash an image).

And on next experiments: just delete the splash screen from any image folder you use before flashing.

Thanks a lot. It´s now working as it should

Hi,

Can I cut in? I am not a VU+ user. I have ET9000 and the following four screens appear before the picture eventually comes on.

Is there any way to get rid of the ruDREAM and Xtrend logos?

You can try using the attached splashscreen, but I'm not sure Xtrend still supports this.

Does that mean that by flashing this splash screen, the rest of the image will not be affected? I didn't know that "selective flashing" is at all possible.

 

The attached zip file is for a VU+ Ultimo, and the OP (and myself) have a Solo². Shouldn't the folder structure be /vuplus/solo2  instead of /vuplus/ultimo?

Indeed.

Indeed: sorry about that.

I understand this is safe? The attached file does not affect the bootloader itself?

And if anything should go wrong, I may just need to re-flash my box?

[Rob van der Does]

That is safe and nothing can go wrong.

et9x00.zip

I formattenb USB stick to FAT32, put the et9x00 folder on it with the following 2 files:

- noforce

- splash.bin

Unfortunately, the box does not seem to offer any upgrade - it just boots normally.

[pieterg]

I think your 'imageversion' file is missing.

[Robinson]

OK, can I just use any version of 'imageversion' file I can find on my computer or does it have to be something specific on the file?

[pieterg]

I think the contents of the 'imageversion' file will be shown on the display, it can be anything.

[Robinson]

OK, I don't know, I'm not that dumb.

I included "imageversion" file in the folder "et9x00" but there is still nothing. I also tried "ET9x00".

Now I think maybe I should have also tried "ET9X00".

When I switch the box on (using the switch at the back) it sometimnes boots up and sometimes I still need to press the front panel blue switch - I'm not sure what it depends on.

One way or another, the box still does not want to boot from the USB, which I only tried from the front under the flap. Maybe I should have tried one of the back USB?

FAT is case insensitive

[Rob van der Does]

As I said before: I'm not sure Xtrend still supports this.

It used to, but I think quite some time ago the support to flash splashscreens has been omitted.

 

This has it's advantages: many imagebuilders tend to embed their own splashscreen in their image folders and (IMHO) a splashscreen should reflect the hardware, not the firmware.

But the obvious disadvantage is that users who didn't revert to the factory screen in time are now trapped.

Thanks pieterg and SatKiekerd.

I will give it one more try and that's it.

Then restart your receiver and press the down-arrow key on the front of it (just as you push the OK key for loading an image). This will update your boot loader with the new splash screen.

Thanks pieterg and SatKiekerd.

And: did it work?
