Bug #5127
closedBF-F9V2+ Unable to download Radio - Radio did not respond
0%
Description
I'm trying to program my radio. I had a bad cable before and just got my FTDI cable today, while I can get the radio to recognize, I can't download the radio.
Baofeng BF-F9V2+, firmware bfp3-25 (3-key on startup)
CHIRP daily-20170714
USB Serial Converter, FTDI, 2.12.28.0 08/16/2017
Download from Radio > COM3, Baofeng, BF-F8HP > "An error has occurred. Radio did not respond"
Other troubleshooting, beside driver updates and latest versions... rebooted machine after updated FTDI driver. Visually inspected (flashlight) dual-ports on radio. Firm grip-pressed the cable to the radio during "download". Log file has been attached.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks,
Michael.

Does the factory software work? Unless it does, this is most likely do to a cabling issue (probably a poor connection between the 2-pin plug of the programming cable and the socket of the radio).

What version of windows are you running? If you are running 8 or newer you will have to run CHIRP in compatibility mode windows 7. Thats the issue i had with my bf-F9

I misplaced the factory software somewhere on my 5TB NAS...
I am running Windows 10 - I will try compatibility mode later tonight hopefully that's it.

No success with compatibility mode nor with run as administrator.
Any new ideas? Instead of querying the radio to download, is there a way to push stock firmware back up (or something like that? Upload to radio is greyed out currently).

- Target version set to chirp-legacy
- Chirp Version changed from 0.4.0 to daily
- Model affected changed from (All models) to Baofeng BF-F9V2+
Did you try the factory software as suggested?
You might want to try again with a recent version and to share the debug log.
