Alternative firmware for UV390?

I recommend they try using a different PC

I own a UV390 and as far as I know, it’s identical to the UV380, only with a waterproof case and an extended battery.

I’ve been using the OpenMDUV380 alphas for a couple weeks and so far had no problems.

If more people verify that the UV390 works, we could even list it as supported. The OpenRTX developers even list the releases as just “MDUV3x0” I think.

I am having problems with flashing OpenGD77 with my UV390. My radio is Hardware version V03.00. And the serial number starts with S/N:2008N00***. Can you confirm that your radio is newer than mine?

You you know how to use WireShark to capture USB traffic. ( https://www.wireshark.org/ )

If you can capture the USB traffic by the official loader, I may be able to understand any differences between your UV390 and my UV380

However, Wireshark is not an easy program to install or use.

I was able to capture my USB port using Wireshark. First I tried to flash my radio with OpenGD77 firmware. But again I got the same error. Then I successfully flashed the original firmware with the manufacturer's program. I've logged both actions.
I tried to share the file here but the website wouldn't allow it. If you share your e-mail address with me, I can send it to you.

I can confirm that MDUV390 works with opengd77 Alphafirmware very well. I tried all versions from day 1 till now and all work pretty good.

I have two MdUV390. One is very old and one is very new.

SN:
1807n002xx
2203n018xx

xx: last two digits not for anyone.....

Both work really well.

I own Md390 (Monoband),MD390UV,RD5R,AnytoneD868UV,GD77.
OpenGD77 is on MD390UV,RD5R,GD77. All work really good.

Thanks for the information

Some people seem unable to install the firmware on the MD390UV, but this is possibly a driver problem.
