Hi, there a few years ago I bought it, so I threw them away.

I don’t understand… What did you throw away? Your receiver?

Oh wait… I think I understand that you misunderstood me…

What I meant is this…

You downloaded a zip file. You unpack this directly onto your FAT32 formated USB stick. The USB stick should now contain a directory /vuplus. In this directory you should see some files.. Shown us the files found in this /vuplus/ directory

This is what it looks like now! Not too many options.

I am afraid you still don’t understand…

 

We need to see what’s on your USB stick after unpacking!!

 

something like

F:/vuplus/solose/file1

                           /file2

                           /file3

 

etc…

[mimisiku]

After succesfull unpacking this should be on the USB stick… Used old 8 Gb stick. Will now install it on my old VU+SoloSE….

Inserted the USB stick on the back and turned it on….. This should happen on the front…

Startup wizard started, installed tuners, performed channel scan. Picons, OScam & OScam config. Software update and reboot. OpenPli 8.3 running fine…

Detected something odd though. After reboot sound is intermittent for a few seconds. After a few channelswitchings sound is OK…

[trifonibo558]

I really feel bad to say there are no tuners, so can't do anything at all! I tried to install openPLi 8.3 with a new USB 4gb but still no response. I would appreciate any recommendation!

Have you checked my post regardig the necessary files? Are all the files present with the correct length? Did you format the USB stick in FAT32 mode? ExFAT and NTFS won’t work… Does the box try to flash at all? And remember: disconnect every other USB devices you may have connected to your box! Only connect the USB stick for flashing… Is the directory structure OK? The files should be in /vuplus/solose

Any news/change?

[piplan1966]

Hi
Once again do factory reset and download image from openpli section this time your image may be installed,
If not, get your nearest expert to check the receiver

[trifonibo558]

Nothing has changed, unfortunately! I'm afraid I can't do much myself. Maybe I'll give it to specialist for a check.

There are many specialists right here. If you would answer the questions being asked, like this one: #24, they would be able to help you.

[mimisiku]

Why not telling exactly what you do? I mean step-by-step.

1. Download the openpli version voor de VU+SoloSE (not the Solo2!!)

2. Format a small USB Stick in FAT32 (Tick off Quick Format)

3. Unpack the downloaded .zip file DIRECtLY on you USB stick.

4. Do this on a PC, not a MAC! This mostly causes issues..

5. Safely remove the USB Stick. Don’t simply yank it out!!

6. Turn off your VU+SoloSE completely (rocker switch on the back in OFF position)

7. Remove all USB devices from your VU+SoloSE (if any)

8. Insert the USB stick with your unpacked image of OpenPli

9. Turn on your VU+SoloSE.. Flashing should start automatically (see posted movie)

10. When the LED flashes on/off turn off the box, remove the USB stick and switch the box back on.

 

The Startup wizard should present itself…

Hi
You have to answer correctly the questions mimisiku has written for you.
A conclusion can then be drawn,

[trifonibo558]

Hi, I did make a download of openPLi 8.3 for vu+solo se with a usb 4gb (fat 32) from a laptop. No other usb is in the receiver and I took out the HDMI as well during flashing. Turned off the receiver, insert the usb, the blue light turns on-off once. After all these nothing happens, the openPLi 4 is still on the screen.

Can you please post a screenshot /picture of the folder structure on the USB stick is.

(three times this has been requested now)

Are you willing to try flashing the box by command line/Putty/Telnet?

Which brand's usb u r using for it ? 

Keep in mind  cheap chinese brand will not work at all 

U must have  Kingston or sandisk . samsung, toshiba , hp brands renowned genuin usb 

it should be 4gb/8gb . 

[mimisiku]

The brand is not really important/ Make sure the USB stick does not have a hidden partition! The USB stick may have only 1 partition. I have actually used 1 Gb to 64 Gb USB drives on my VU+ boxes... Worked fine...

[trifonibo558]

Can you tell me please, how to flash the receiver with Putty/Telnet?
