Clone SOLO2 stuck on "Starting..."

Any way of pulling this box back? Or is it finished?

I have an image that works on previous boxes it's just this one that rejects it. Not getting HW error. The Blackhole start up screen flashes up then nothing, the LED display just says "Starting...."

Can it be saved??

AV

stick old image on it
and try

Wauw first post and then getting banned....even i couldnt do that,respect;-)

Was post clocking the forum.

have replaced chip for friend,the box just goes through update process really fast then just hangs on blackhole splash screen then starting tried various images old to new with clone safe images,any help would be apreicated thank you

What do you mean the update process? Do you mean the reflash process? If so then I'd check the chip, try reflowing the legs, so cover the legs in flux and then run a soldering iron across the legs.

yes..you can..we can..everyone can!

Can someone recommend a USB to RS232 with a cable that works with Solo 2 clone

Mine did the same with many different images until I found one that worked

Hi,

You can use null modem cable.

Thanks.

If your solo2 is manufactured by dragonworth after april 2014, then this tool could restore it.

[DOWNLOAD] DW Solo2 Chinese VU+ Tool

It has done so a few times for my dragonworth, when I got it stuck on Starting/HW error on all safe images.
My solo2 behaved in a way that when it got stuck in this loop, it would only accept the latest images, and also Lonrisun v4 images, nothing older than that. When trying those unsafe images I always had satellite and ethernet disconnected, so it didn't get bricked. But this tool from the Chinese seems to restore the error the box is in, if it is the same problem I had.
