Putting Tyt Md Uv 390 in Mode for Firmware Update
-
To anyone looking to larn commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for whatsoever monetary value.
All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a asking such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot exist involved or associated with this activity. The aforementioned goes for whatsoever private transaction via Private Message. Even if you lot attempt to engage in this activity in PM’s we volition however enforce the forum rules.

We do not want whatsoever hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software run across the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often let their dealers to sell the software online (i.eastward., Kenwood). Delight utilise Google or some other search engine to notice a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or private radio requires its own software bundle. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 then don’t be a cheapskate; merely buy information technology.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and by radios. I package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked packet is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by assuasive this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I am virtually to pull my pilus out over this. I have looked everywhere for an respond but can’t seem to notice anything to aid. I was attempting to update the firmware on my UV380 from D017.005 to V017.005 to be able to accept the DMR ID contact listing. Beginning off I attempted to download the Wink tool off of the tyt888.com website but when i click on the download it flashes and disappears. I am unable to notice anywhere on my computer where information technology downloaded if it did. And then I downloaded the Tytera Flash Tool past KG5RKI. I then downloaded
MD-UV380(CSV)-V17.05.bin firmware from the tyt website and followed the instructions for flashing the firmware to the radio. After it was finished I turned off the radio and turned it back on only to find it was yet in the program manner. I have attempted to re-flash information technology several times with no luck. I have fifty-fifty attempted to re-write the radio with a lawmaking plug from earlier the flash. When I read the radio is shows firmware T012.010. All the stuff I detect online is geared towards the MD-380 and not a whole lot for the UV380. Any help would be greatly appropriated. Oh and I am CPS version 1.07 on windows 10. I likewise tried on windows 7.
It seems to me that the KG5RKI software is for the MD380, not the Physician-UV380. Therein may be part of your problem. But a guess to gear up your radio, assuming you first read the radio (afterwards unpacking it with the supplied software) and saved the empty unmodified RDT file.
Employ the TYT CPS software originally supplied with your radio to open the empty RDT and write it to the radio.
If you didn’t start read the radio and save a file, perchance open the originally supplied software. Save the default RDT to a new file proper name–don’t make any entries–and try writing that empty file to the UV380.
If you lot tin can awaken the radio, maybe revert to a working codeplug dated before yous tried flashing the radio.
I think you’ll notice the N0GSG Contact Manager software volition suspend the DMR ID database to your contacts. And then utilise the TYT software to write the the RDT file to the radio. See the PDF documentation for details.
HTH. Good luck.

W2XQ cheers for your quick response. I did try to write the original code back to the radio with no luck. I did get the trouble fixed. I had to run the tyt flash tool in compatibility mode and that immune information technology to download. I then flashed the update. All is well again. Give thanks y’all.
Heh. Proficient to know about the compatibility. I am of the old school that if it ain’t broke I don’t e’er endeavour to fix information technology. In this instance I take not tried to ugrade the UV380, purchased in late July, firmware. And I understood the N0GSG software would suck in the user ID database yous sought to grab. Expert luck.
Yea I’thou usually that way but I’m trying to learn all I can about this radio. I deferentially wouldn’t practise anything like that with ane of my Motorolas for sure.
Speaking of updating firmware, I did the tty update to my (Nov 2018 purchased) tty-md uv380 dmr radio using the uv380(csv).bin file. When I turned the radio dorsum on, later turning it off and unplugging the usb string, it stays stuck at the splash screen. Tried several times, loaded up original code plug (can still do that) but still stuck on splash screen. Downloading from radio shows information technology’south the 18.003 version. Any ideas? Has information technology been bricked?
Was the radio in firmware update mode?
Yes, it was. I just heard back from the seller (3rd political party thru Amazon). They said to “Please install uv390 with gps firmware. Cheers.” Well, I have a uv380, sez and so right under the battery. I’ve read that you shouldn’t do it. But they said to, so I did. And I have my radio dorsum, with ver eighteen.03 firmware. Everything seems to be in club, talks to my zumspot, etc. Happy simply mystified!
They take two versions of firmware; one for not-GPS models, and the other for the GPS equipped models. You obviously have the latter.
Yous don’t need to tell me. Tell my radio – it thinks information technology’due south an MD-UV380.
UV390 CPS is the correct programming software for the UV380 GPS version radio, especially the newer radios. The GPS is the kicker.
I’m running UV390 CPS 1.10 on a new UV380 GPS radio w/eighteen.03 firmware. It works flawlessly.

I’one thousand running UV390 CPS 1.x on a new UV380 GPS radio w/18.03 firmware. It works flawlessly.
Russell, I tin’t seem to figure out if my MD-UV380 (above) has or does not have GPS, and, if it does, what to exercise with it, how to utilise it. It works fine with the -390 firmware, too, still sometimes crashes when I endeavor to send it a programming change, but otherwise is fine. Wants to be unplugged from the usb programming cable to work effectively. Any thoughts on the GPS feature? Cheers. K2TKX
I have the MD-UV380 GPS version. If I get to the master menu the terminal item is GPS. I would assume (I don’t know, I could ever be wrong) if your terminal entry is GPS and so you lot take that model. If information technology isn’t GPS, yous probably don’t accept it. What’s it exercise and how do y’all use it? (distressing, I’ll quit laughing now) I don’t have a inkling, I’ve heard many different things from many different people. I assumed it acted as a GPS and told you where you are. Patently it doesn’t. I thought information technology would transmit your location. Evidently it doesn’t. I thought you could come across where others are. Plain it doesn’t do that either. I’ve heard it works with APERS but I don’t know anything about that. Maybe someone on hither will offering some better insight.
I knew there would be a learning curve with this radio merely I didn’t realize I’d have to get dorsum to school. Good luck and have fun.
And I accept the non-GPS MD-UV380. There is no GPS choice in the menus.
As the MD-380 is akin to the Doc-UV380, perhapd this

Russell and w2xq,
Thanks for the replies. I’m laughing along with you, Russell. Information technology is truly a random walk when it comes to programming/understanding this radio. If it weren’t for y’all, w2xq, I don’t know what a beau would practise! I followed your so clearly written description from k2gog – thank you lot – and wish that he/she had written the manual. My UV380 came with the “GPS BeiDou Info” menu item. When I upgraded the firmware (above) it nonetheless was there. (Every bit I have said, I did not intend to buy, nor did I expect to have the GPS characteristic.) Plus, the APRS-310999 entry was in the updated firmware (I don’t call up if it was in that location in the original firmware). I followed k2gog’s instructions, but when I got to programming the Channel there was no entry for GPS, nor was there a GPS entry on the Card Item page. I estimate that settles it! I give thanks all of y’all for your aid. 73. K2TKX
Mine has a 2nd label right beneath the Tyt info/serial number characterization in the bombardment compartment.
Is the GPS option selectable on my Md-UV380? Is the radio hardware the same and it just a thing of enabling it with the right firmware update? Does anyone know of any photos of both of the GPS and non-GPS radio insides that I could use for reference? Thanks for any help here.
Larry
I have found the solution, it’s an older flashing program but it works with the MD-Uv380

I cant put the radio into DFU mode whatsoever ideas? I am trying to update the firmware and CPS. Oh wait nevermind. I figured that out. I had the same problem every bit the original poster. Wrong firmware uploaded to GPS version of the UV380 for CSV contacts. Its all fixed now.
