HELP!!!!! VU+ SOLO2 Stuck?
Hi Guys, I have had the VU+ Solo2 since May 2014. I managed to save the following Image Information before flashing it today:
MODEL: Vu+ Solo2
Chipset: BCM7356
CPU: BCM7346B2
CORES: 2
VERSION: HELIOS
BUILD: 001
KERNEL 3.3.8
DRIVERS: 2014-04-03
LAST UPDATE: 2014-04-19
I bought the box new from a UK supplier who stated it was genuine but on receipt there were telltale signs that it wasn't.. It was delivered with image above already installed so it was ready to use from day one and I have been doing that ever since without the need for any updates. I successfully installed a new internal HDD today, successfully initialised and mounted it and even backed up the image and setting onto the newly installed HDD. Whilst installing I noticed that there was no sticker on CPU or anywhere on the motherboard indicating whether it is a Sunray, Larisun etc box. In fact it looked like the seller had made a concerted effort to scrub all information on the cpu.
On rebooting the machine, it loaded the VU+ Splash Screen which vanished and was followed by a blank screen on TV with VU+ Solo2 writing showing on the display screen of the box and nothing. I have downloaded and installed 3 images namely Openvix Apollo 132, 137 & 142 installing them in this order using the a 4gb USB and 8gb USB pen drives and using the rear USB slots. All the images loaded and rebooted successfully but again all stuck at the point when it shows VU+ Solo2 on the display screen of the box with blank TV Screen.
I am lost and don't know what to try next. I read on here that Solo2 doesn't require Bootloader to installed so I haven't tried installing a new Bootloader. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated as I am hoping I haven't inadvertently bricked the box.
