Solo 4k want flash

Slaw77 · 13. Dezember 2019, 17:40

Hi all
Could anyone help me to get back my solo 4k working again

Tried several times to install different images and all stuck in flashing.
Connected to putty through rs232 but do not know where to start
Is there any rs232 tool to load image like in old solo2
Could load some putty log if needed

Flashing is only possible with a USB stick:

with Putty on RS232 you can sometimes see why flashing doesnt work ...

In most cases flashing fails because of wrong folder structure on the USB stick...

Try to read the installation guide in the Wiki (in German only...) and follow it step by step.

The better description is in German.Google Translate is your friend.

Also, try different USB sticks, if you haven't already. At some point in the past I went through quite a lot of them, until I found one that worked.
Strangely, it was one of those free exhibition gifts that worked.

I never found an USB stick which did not work.
Success depends always on file structure and the preparing behaviour.

That is the thing Usb stick working ok on a duo 4k and solo2 and were working on that one before. It's happend couple of days ago at the morning find out soft freeze so had to reinstall and since is dead

Double check:

Did you download the correct image file? Remember, that there's a solo, a solo 2 and a solo 4k... Which file did you download?
Did you double check the folder structure on the USB stick? Does it begin with the folder /vuplus on the stick's top level? Does it have a folder solo4k inside the vuplus folder?

I will not ask for a help if I will have problem with usb stick

I know what I'm doing , I think

. I installed software on hundreds of them

but first time happend on solo 4k. So could be a simple thing or a flash problem. Like in dreamboxes could erase flash via rs232 to fix

schomi · 13. Dezember 2019, 20:53

Did you use an another image than VTi before?

Slaw77 · 13. Dezember 2019, 21:03

I'm using black hole all the time but tryed the others as well. I just realised I'm on VTI bit is not make any difference

you can put a empty file with name mkpart.update to the files on stick to renew the partition of the flash

schomi · 13. Dezember 2019, 21:15

That makes a big difference

Slaw77 · 13. Dezember 2019, 22:15

So partition done and making file system but no change after. Attached a file from putty

dg4sj · 14. Dezember 2019, 21:53

i think the problem could be here:

[ 14.117121] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p4, logical block 427193
[ 14.123674] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p4

i only have a DUO2 and a Ultimo 4K, at this point it looks different.

the emmc is bad or the File on stick is not ok.

I solved this issue on my Vu+duo4k se by removing the HDD.

ob das dem TE nach >4,5 Jahren noch weiterhilft?
