Vx-p829 firmware

[SirJ]

Does anyone have latest firmware for the vxp829? And can it be updated from the famous talon firmware?

I asked motorola and got some answer which was nothing related to what I asked

Anyone,?
I've tried to find dealer that will just do it locally but no one works on these.

Have you tried registering on this site? It's worth a shot. I used to get my Vertex software for my VXD series DMR radios from a URL that is now a dead link. I haven't messed with them in a few years, although I still have my VXD-720 and 7200.

For the VX-82x series, it looks like the latest is Ver3_03 (9-22-14). Is that what you're looking for? I don't see specific firmware for the p829/P25 radios.

Is a special FIF box, cable etc etc... Needed to update the fw ?

My programming cable stopped working last night so before I can do anything need to wait for the replacement to show up. But if a regular cheap usb cable doesn't work than I might be S.O.L

My research turns up you'll need a FIF-12a (maybe 10a? will also work?) and a CT-108 cable for firmware updating.

Buy Motorola (Vertex) AAJ23X501 | USB Interface for PC Programming (a.k.a. FIF-12A)

Includes USB cable and CD driver. Compatible with VERTEX STANDARD / MOTOROLA radios

I don't have any Vertex 820 series radios, and have never messed with anything Vertex but the VXD series.

If you have a MOL account, the firmware for all the older Vertex radios, including the 820, 920, and P variants, is available for free, as well as the regular software.

How can I get it?

You must have an Motorola Solutions Online account.

My vertex radios just sit and collect dust now

I have never had any P820/920 radios and I have no idea what you are trying to do, but I have CE76 v3.12 program and firmware v1.45 (5-15-12).
Some vertex portables require a separate cable for firmware upgrade which plugs into option port inside of battery compartment.
Which is different from a software cable that connects to handset/headset port.
