Any ideas on the best image to use on a solo 2 original?
Thanks in advance...
Thanks in advance...
The box will probably have BH on it so play around with it and then try vix, I also see no reason to wait for the next release of vix as it works right now, the next variant from what I've read a more to do with changes under the hood.

Flash box with image and set it up to your liking.
How to flash a Vu+ Solo2.
Items you need before we start.
1. A suitable USB stick formatted to FAT32.
2. Image of your choice
3. Compression software such as 7zip.
Preparation.
1. Format a USB stick to FAT32.
2. Download the image of your choice and extract it to your desktop.
3. Open the folder you extracted to your desktop, you will see another folder named vuplus, this is your image file. Copy the
entire vuplus folder directly to the USB stick.
Flashing the Receiver.
– Fully power the receiver down via the rocker switch at the rear of the receiver.
– Make sure no USB devices are plugged into the receiver at this point.
– Insert the USB stick containing the image files into one of the USB ports on the receiver.
– Power the receiver on from the rear rocker switch and await instructions
As your Solo2 starts to power up you should see a prompt on the receivers display asking you to
press the power button, at this point you need to press the power button on the front of the receiver,
( the blue circles to the left of the front panel, this is a touch sensitive button ).
IMPORTANT.
DO NOT POWER THE RECEIVER DOWN DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS, AS YOU
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS AND PERMANENT DAMAGE BY DOING SO.
If you dont see the prompt to press the power button but instead see the message “starting” it means
that the receiver has not detected the USB stick or image files or both. If this happens start from the
beginning or try another USB stick, Image or USB port on the receiver.
If all goes well the flashing process should take approximately 2 minutes to complete, if your
chosen image does not contain the “reboot.update” file in the image folder the receiver will sit the
with “update complete” message on it's display and will require you to manually power the receiver
on and off to reboot then box, if this file is present the receiver will automatically reboot it self once
the flashing process is complete.
Please note. you will always see the prompt to press the power button if the receiver has detected a
viable image to flash on the inserted media at bootup, It is perfectly safe and advisable to keep a
image on your USB stick for backup reasons. The image will only flash if you press the power
button, if you ignore the prompt the receiver will boot as normal.

While i do appreciate that you have quoted me as the author of the above, I would like to remind you that it is a legally copywrited document so please do not copy and paste parts of it, either upload the entire unmodified document as it was originally published by myself or dont post it at all.
I am sure VU+ created the first "how to flash your receiver" document though so in regard to copyright contents and intellectual property i believe it belongs to them.
Are you seriously that bothered.?
