Restore Original Firmware on Baofeng DM-1701

Post by K6DRK » Thu Aug 08, 2024 3:24 pm

A friend isn't happy with the OpenGD77 firmware I installed on his DM-1701 and has asked me to restore the original firmware. The OpenGD77 manual says not to use the "donor" firmware for this purpose. How can I restore the radio to its original firmware?

You need to use Baofangs own 1701 installation tools and 1701 firmware., however I don't know if baofeng released these yet for the 1701 as it's a relatively new radio.

Try contacting Baofeng

Looking at the links in the text of the 2nd video, the official baofeng firmware can be found here

I just acquired a DM-1701 from AliExpress yesterday.

You download the CPS software and FW from Radioddity here:

https://www.radioddity.com/pages/baofeng-download

And Radioddity's link to their Guide to Firmware update is broken and when I get the proper link from their Customer Support I will provide it in this thread:

It contains firmware. However I never tested reverting to the official firmware

Good link, thank you.

I probably will never revert, once I upgrade to OpenGD77 later today, but I like to archive the resources for the future.
