Hello satfriends like u have noticed the bricked Solo2 Clones are falling from the sky every day...

At this moment solo2 clones get bricked whitout any reason,well first thing it IS NOT user related and also not related what image installed..

They say maybe a "timebomb" in drivers March but we dont know for sure

Also it IS NOT YET possible to fix it softwarely there are a few verry complicated sort of sollutions but best is to send it back!!

German,Dutch and English sites are reporting more of this problem every day and more and more people got theire units bricked

So please be carefull before u buying the solo2 from China ive bought 2 from same company and they both are dead,both were V2,and mostly bricked are reported V2 or V3 ...V1 not so mutch actually Smart is the only one i know who got this problem

Maybe its wise to make list of the manufacturars who produced the most of the bricked units and put this online on a doc or something so we can check this and help the people a little whom want to buy this clone

So please dont act fast and buy it but be patience and ask the people with bricked and not bricked clones where they bought it

And again this has NOTHING to do with user issues or is any image related

Be carefull and good luck

EDIT:pLEASE COULD EVERYBODY WHO GOT HIS CLONE BRICKED PM ME THE COMPANY THEY BOUGHT FROM I WANT MAKE A LIST...DONT WORRY I WILL NOT MAKE THIS PUBLIC

German and Dutch solo2 clone users downgraded their images to the ones before 15/12/2013

But do this at own risk!!!


Update:my Chines producer tells me the solution might come in a couple of days...He could be saying this to cover his a...s but i think all the companys are trying to solve this...

familiy member has a V2 running Vix 808 and its still working fine.

mine was a v3 running zues 23 and is now a brick
 
On German and Dutch boards everyone with working clones have downgraded to images BEFORE 15/12/2013
 
Yes although my box was working fine but for safety i have also downgraded to AJT safe clone 2.0.9
 
@Ali to tell u the true i dont know if the safe images are so safe anymore...cause V1 without upgrade made are bricked and they were also with oure safe images...my advise would be to install a image before 15/12/2013 my 5 cent of advice
 
clone safe images i posted all have pre 16/12/13 drivers as post this caused the HW error they were just upto date image with the old drivers .They should in theory be safe but you never know.there is no definite cause as yet to the thing that killed the boxes the general view is it came in drivers from VU+ but nobody is certain as yet..i would use a old genuine image and don't update but even then may not be safe as someone said that it could force update over network so god knows at the moment..

Ok thanks .. BH 208 or 207 which one was the before from 15/12/2013.?? i do it now .
 
as someone said that it could force update over network so god knows at the moment..

Not likely, he always makes wild claims, no image exists that auto updates to my knowledge, those that can online update always ask the user to choose if they want to update or not, if in doubt just turn the update notification option off, that will park the image on it's current version and wont poll the server to check if updates are available.
 
im using old drivers always have done
my box works perfect with old drivers
it does what i want it to do

in future dont update drivers just because they have a later date on them
why would you want to update something that works as it should already
cuz you can come a croper
 
Hello,

Mine was with BH 2.0.9 and only worked 2 days... :(
I hope someone will find a solution :)
 
My friend orderd his on wed so they sent it before ours went down it should arrive this week do you think he should flash it staight out the box with an old or clone safe image

Ok be careful this are the steps:

get it out of the box...get a old original image BEFORE 15/12/2013 per exmple Blackhole 2.06,or Pli or Vix or whatever as long its a image before 15/12/2013....Format a USB with Fat32,copie the image on this USB....put it in ure Clone...VERRY IMPORTANT:ONLY PLUGIN POWER CABLE!!!

So no HDMI,No Ethernet AND ESPECIALY NO SATELITE CABLE!!!!!

Power up the unit,make the Update (in this case downgrade) and after this,plug the HDMI and the ethernet and start,

The issue is that there is a Timebomb in the newe images and i think also in the one youre about the receive...But the thing is that this is going to start when the unit has synchronised his time with the satelite...And thats why you must avoid this!

When the old images and old drivers are installed then there is no danger anymore...
