Zip the backup files, mostly it will be 0x00 for the main Flash backup, and the file will be much smaller
Amateur radio firmware for the GD-77, GD-77S, DM-1801, DM-1801A, RD-5R, MD-9600/RT-90, MD-UV380/RT-3S, DM-1701/RT-84 and MD2017/RT-82 radios

Ok, Thanks for explaining this.
When I install the open gd77 firmware, the CPS says something like’firmware update completed’ then the radio goes from black screen directly to the ‘settings updated’ screen. But no buttons are working after this.
(If I go back to original firmware, all buttons are working fine).
Yes, I will try to send Thea files as soon as possible. (Should be within a few days).F1RMB wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:58 amCould send me the backup of your flash (private email, and you have to put the binary file somewhere on the internet, as it is too large for email).
You will find my email address on QRZ.com.
Also, from the CPS, Extas -> OpenGD77 Support, read the secure register, and send it as well.
It is about a year old. I bought it to get open GD77.VK3KYY wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 9:18 amOZ7ET wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:28 am

Can you give more details about this radio. Is not new or old etc.
Did it work with an older version of OpenGD77 ??
FYI.
This problem is very similar to the problem with very old MD2017 radios.
The binary file is the flash backup, as you told us that you restore the flashOZ7ET wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 1:04 pmYes, I will try to send Thea files as soon as possible.

You need to explain to me what the binary file is?
