How to USB flash upgrade VU+ Solo2

1) Prepare a USB stick, format FAT32. I'd recommend using this HP Format tool.
2) Download the image you would like to use, extract the vuplus folder.
3) Copy the vuplus folder to root of your USB stick.
4) Connect to VU+ Solo2.
5) Power on, when prompted on front display to press power button, touch the BLUE cirlces to the left of the front panel. This is the touch sensitive power button.
6) Wait for the flashing process to complete and automatically reboot. DO NOT POWER OFF DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS!
 
are they still fussy about the usb sticks to use,i used a kingston usb which seems to be well known on my solo.
 
flashed mine today it was ok no probs only thing is in vix 3.0 HBBTV not working

That was sorted out a long time ago although to be honest HbbTV is of little use to us in the uk as there is no Hbbtv content available via any uk provider.

How do know when to press the power button if for unit has no display and only a blue light?

Cheers,

edit your other forum not allowed due to rules.

one reason to read the flashing guides to see what buttons are pressed to start the process,also having a flashing 8gb usb stick you see something happening.
