The Vu+ Util for serial flash , you can get it from here vuplus-support.org Forum

• Image saved on the PC (nfi version)
• Unzip files
• Start Vu+ Util

• Select your COM port

• Check the DHCP if you do not have any static IP for VU+

• Then click the Connect button

• Now you should see “Serial port open success. Please turn on your box.”, then power on the VU+ and since DHCP is set, click Next button to set IP

• Now you see " IP Setup Success" in VU+ Util

• Now browse the *. nfi File menu. We recommend, of course, the VTi Image

• And then click the Flash button I VU+ Util you will see "Reading file,please wait a moment..."

• then it will appear "flashing process is completed"

• Now the update is finished. You can click "disconnect" to disconnect and then exit at Exit button, in the VU + Util.Power off the VU+ and then restart the box
