You can change skins and add files via ftp is you cant get it to flash
 
Sounds like you need to the latest cfe first

HowTo updating bootloader:

download attached file
unzip attached file
format USB flash drive in with fat
create directory /vuplus/duo at flash drive
copy file to directoy /vuplus/duo at flash drive
shutdown VU+ STB
disconnect all USB devices
connect USB flash drive to VU+ STB
power on VU+ STB
wait for message "Please remove USB" at VFD
disconnect USB flash drive
power off VU+ STB
flash new image

i seem to remember when i had one of them it was very fussy about the size of usb stick used think i used a 1gb but had trouble with several bigger ones i also remember mine needed completely unplugging to get it to flash properly if that was common i dont know but most times i have had trouble is when a download of the image had gone arry somehow i remember the antvirus complained about one i tried & it was from a good source stick with m8 it will be something silly most likely once you figure it out
