For a MD-UV390, the OpenGD77 firmware installation instructions state one should use donor firmware MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin. The official MD9600 V5 firmware contains both MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin and MD9600-CSV-GPS(2571V5)-P26.45.bin. The MD-UV390 being upgraded has GPS. Should one use MD9600-CSV-GPS(2571V5)-P26.45.bin, or use MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin, as stated in the instructions?
the one stated in the instructions.

Always MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin , this file is only used for extracting the DMR codec, nothing else.
Everything else is made with code made for OpenGD77.

Just to clarify... We do not extract the codec.

We patch the official firmware and replace the UI and other functionality with OpenGD77 and leave the codec exactly as it is.

We can't extract the codec for legal reasons.
