i have tried this new multiboot 6......last ting flashed was original 5.01..no meoboot or barryallen

You don't need to sent your box back, you can fix it yourself.
I do read you tried the multiboot_cfe v6.
That's why your box isn't booting.
If you still got a telenet connection, then start at point 4.

You must do this:

1) boot your VU+ in the bootconsole (with serial cable, press Ctrl+c to stop the bootsequence)
2) copy this command to the console and press enter:

3) your box should boot from flash
4) open a telnet session and enter this command:

5) reboot your box with this command:


That's all. I hope you get your box back running.

i did posted a warning allready....

thanks for helping...i start now your solution but i dont know how to start vu+ on bootconsole..

You must use a nullmodem cable on comport. Then start hyperterm or putty select comport. Settings are 115200,8,n,1 i guess. Then youll se output like in telnet.

thx. ill try now

thanks @Black_64 and RealMagic911


i did start my box.

still dont recomend installing multiboot.



once again thanks!

The solution was part of black64, not my part

yes i did thanked him,but you also helped a lot.

We had last week a betatester with the same problem.
Then (i think) the author of Multiboot_cfe did told how to recover.

So i only posted this info here to help.
Nice to see your box is back running.

Don't forget the "flash_eraseall /dev/mtd5" in telnet when your box is booted.
Otherwise next reboot it will again not boot.

i did everything....now its like before..:))))

thanks again.....

thanks friend, I have all afternoon thinking it was the giant image.

but the error is this and it is solved, my VU is alive thanks to you, a big hug for your help.

others did not want to listen, when the error was obvious and was in front of your eyes.

thank you very much, your solution works perfectly, I am eternally grateful.
