VU SOLO2 mini (clone) , stuck jtagging

[davefingers]

Agreed, I find most thumb drives troublesome, I have 20 or so and always dig out my old faithful 2GB Kingston, it never fails (although does require low lever formatting from time to time)

Also, hook up your Solo2 via RS232 null modem cable and check if you see a boot log

What image do you guys appreciate?

 

[davefingers]

Obviously, your bootloader is now fine.
use front USB port, hold Power Button on front of box for 30 seconds after powering on.

I would try Dragonworth images from here (we don't know if you need V2 or V4 firmware) so Dragonworth is safest

Index of /images


Also, rename this file "reboot.update" to 'force.update' (in solo2 folder on USB stick) to force an update without needing to press power button.

watch terminal log during flashing, and remove USB after you see reboot command, or your box will begin to flash again



This says your box is waiting for the front power button to be pushed but is not sensing an input

I'm a little worried by this

But am hoping this will disappear when you flash your box[/FONT]

Ok perfect I put the openatv and running perfectly thanks a lot of heart

 

[davefingers]

If your using Dragonworth V2
Do Not Install Kodi from the Plugins Feed.

It will update the drivers on your box and brick it again!!!
You have been warned!!

I do not think to change the image lol
