I have 2 Vu+ Solo SE V2 boxes. When they boot up they have different log boot screen, one of the boxes have a black screen with little bit colourful Vu+ logo an the other box have a pink screen with withe Vu+ logo and text.

I wonder how can I upgrade so that both boxes get the same screen, is this the bootloader and I have different versions and there for different screens?

An official VU+ Solo SE v2 boots up with a black screen, a purple VTi 'graphic' and a lady covering her cheeks with black/grey 'drivers' gloves. The image is VTi version 3 from the factory.

Some images also change the 'splash-screen'. If you bought the boxes from an official reseller and have another boot screen and/or image there are only 2 options:

Reseller has changed the image (still an official box)
Reseller sold box 'as is' and is probably a clone which you'll discover soon enough..

When I search the internet it seems like there are no clones of Vu+ Solo SE V2?
I can change OS images, OpenPli, OpenATV, VU+ original and so on.

So if this is a clone, how can I see that? I bought these boxes in October last year.

If it's not a clone is it possible to change the logo for "bios"?

If it is an official box, it came with the default VU+ factory image. Was this the case in your situation? You can make a screendump of box boxes. Just call up the information screen. And then there is the price: official VU+ Solo SE v2 do about €169. If your box(es) were significantly cheaper they are clones..

And you can simply load the official firmware in both boxes. If all goes well you're in luck. If either one fails you know enough..

Yes I can install official firmware on both boxes, downloaded from code.vuplus.com.

I bought them from a store that are reliable. I even bought dual tuner card from same store and installed without any problem.

I payed same price as they cost at any other store in Sweden, not any cheaper.

Hi,

 

Flash back original image in your box, then the original boot logo should be restored.

Some image builders think it is smart to create there own custom boot logo image to replace the manufacturer one, which OpenPLi never do.

So when flashing OpenPLi they never change the boot logo the draw back of this is that you get stuck with the previous image boot logo.
