    Re: How to flash a VU+ Duo using a USB stick

    Sicilian thanx for this tutorial.I`m trying to learn things in preparation for my Duo arriving.I`m obviously being thick here,but I need to ask.The 4th instruction says to Unzip the USB upgrade files into that directory. Is this the image I choose to use? Or is there other files I need to download?

    Thankyou.
    ttt.

    When you download an image you get two options, nfi or usb. If you download the usb version you will there are 3 files, these go into the duo directory. I've only upload the usb versions here as they're the easiest to flash.

    128mb will do. I've not seen any reports of any sticks not working.
