Guys,the last days there coming reports of people whom cant get the images work on VU-HD,while theire Unit is brandnew and should be V3,
If ure Solo2 clone or Solo2 mini dont work with the images of VU-HD,then u have a Dragonworth mainboard,because the images on that website
are made for the LONRISUN only!!

I have received a Dragonworth today (actualy reading all comments about this made by @alireza) and i can tell you these facts about it:

.-You dont have to fear the timebomb,the Dragonworth has defence against this,so at this moment no risk to get ure box bricked!
.-However the bad thing is,its only working with V1 older drivers at this moment,u can install a new image Pli,TVI,Vix,etc,etc but it WOULDNT work
because he only keeps in booting loop forever!
-.The Firmware (V1 to V2 to V3) updates we have dont work because they are not made for Dragon but for Lonrisun

The Chinese dont know how this come and try to work this out,and at this moment they build a website where you can download the WORKING images for the dragon board.heres the link:

Download-VU PLUS

Its getting stupid now with the number of different groups making the same clone.

@ Nice info But here u r wrong . I m using most latest images and try every image . number of times i have post the pics of images with new drivers .
1. I have already upgraded with V3
2. Currently using new OpenAtv image I dont have problem . V2 is enough to use New drivers . but if u r in eu and have problem and using Toshiba chip then u need V3 (u can ask it from any techinal adviser in Dw team ) .
 
You know the bad parts is that the Chinese whom selling this are saying "you can install NEWEST images"...But they not telling you that you can do this BUT it DOESNT WORK!!

So for the people whom going to order a clone,here are the benefits and bad things of every manaufacturer:

LONRISUN

Good:
After V3 update it works with Newest images and drivers!You can do a online update (at ure own risk);
Has a owne Support website,where you can download "safe"images and other support material ( VU+ and X Website --- Home )

Bad:
Still not TimeBomb safe,especialy for V2 units;
Not every box is updateble (bad RS232 port/Bad Cable) to V3 so not Timebombe safe;
After "Succes" update to V3,strange problems happen like the "starting" loop


SUNRAY

Good:
Reported that it STILL works with latest images and drivers without problems;
The mysterious "service port" connection,the word goes that would be the backdoor,if the box ever gets bricked;
U can install genuine software and not only made by the Sim2 team;

Bad:
Verry big heating problem,some people reporting over the 60c!!!!!!!!!!
(but this can be fixed with a bigger Fan under the hood)


DRAGONWORTH

Good:
No fear of timebomb,ure box is NOT going to be bricked if u install the latest image and drivers

Bad:
Works only with safe drivers;
Is,at this moment,not updateable;
You can use any safe image with older drivers (drivers till 24/12/2013 are workable) and some never images are on their website ( Download-VU PLUS )



So if u going to buy a clone,just be carefull and think good witch unit is the best for u,like @d2zet said "none of them is perfect",and ask ure reseller witch
Mainboard u are going to get!

(If i have forgetting anything mentioned the boards above,please feel free to correct me)

Important information was omitted:
Clone Lonrisun supports JTAG (timebomb solution)
 
Yes thats true but at this moment Lonrisun is the only one who actually needs a JTAG sollution....
 
In terms of quality of build lonrisun I think is the best one out there.
 
@zomi i agree 101%,especially when u have updated to V3 its a real HAMMER of a box!!No heating issues,no problems with new images or drivers and verry stable!!I realy,realy like the Lonrisun..

Although i have not owned a Sunray yet,i dont have a good feeling about it,heating problem,display more green then purple and the Service port what nobody knows where its for...I dont have the feeling that i want to have one..

But to be assure you have to test it right,,?....Hmmmm maybe i am going to order one and test it!;-)

@ Good for u DJ . but unfortunately it works for me and i m using latest images with drivers .. today i was going to post some latest information & diffrent CFE files set about Solo2 Jtag (received from my friend today's mail ) but after reading ur post I have found it will be useless . when it doesnt work for ur "many many SOLO2 clones ". anyway no more further files will be posted .. never mind no hard feelings . have a nice time brother
 
First of all i dont give a hack about if u give me a file or not, mate this is a clone satelite box not a cure for cancer!

Secondly i have a lot of boxes and this is just hobby,i come here and try to help people,everything i know or hear i share...and u did that always also...thank u for that...

I realy dont know why you are angry,just read my text and tell me where and when i said something bad about you?

I liked you and i still like you,but not because you give support or bring files,no i like you because u are @alireza

I realy dont understand bro,but if this is the way you want,then it should be!This is a forum and u are free to only talk to whom you want,i will try to stay out of ure way:)

Hi, can you tell me how can I approximately know which motherboard is located in my v+ mini solo2? Lornisun or Dragonwort motherboard?

open it up usually the IC flash chip will have a Lornisun sticker on it, mine does
 
Old post I know but worth updating, I like some others still use an old Dragonworth box and find it increasingly hard to find V2 images for it until I stumbled across this repository, I was so impressed I thought it worthy of sharing. it includes a section for each flavor of solo2.

That all depends on what version you have or whether you have updated to V4 security.
If unsure use V2 clone images (if you have to run V2 images, Do Not Install Kodi, as this will replace your drivers and Brick your Box) if a V4 box use V4 images.

Here is a good source of up to date images, If V2 use the Dragonworth ones, only use Lonrisun ones if you are sure
