seems you are using the wrong donor file, read here: static/firmware_installation.php#null

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the response and assistance. I have ran the same procedure at the start of the thread (exactly what was used with the 3rd test radio that worked) again with no success.

Files used: Stock Firmware:

• https://gd-77.s3.amazonaws.com/GD-77S%2 ... 190712.zip
And/or the 1.2 Version:
• https://gd-77.s3.amazonaws.com/GD-77S%2 ... 201810.zip

OpenGD77S Files used (and same as the 3rd one that worked):

• https://drive.proton.me/urls/43E0Z20PAR#63ZowszjWAa4 (CPS)
• https://drive.proton.me/urls/NP5JFNAS1C#OaHOHeI1b5WJ (Select GD77S Version )
• https://drive.proton.me/urls/D3JKT50X7M#Md1OQqCWViCJ (Select The English Nicole 1.5 Monochrome)

[ Redacted ... Just using a Blank/New Codeplug and one with an Analog and a Digital Contact ]

73 and Thanks

I'm asking for your files, the ones your using. Don't you think I have everything needed to flash any supported device?

Use some kind of online storage, and share with me.
And don't forget your codeplug.

MELERIX,

Nope. Definitely using the only donor file permissible :-)

.....

I now have "5 that can" ... That's enough for the immediate need.

Thanks to all those that assisted - but time to move on since I now have enough "fit for purpose" devices available.
