Anytone/Hytera Encryption compatibility

[WFRP399]

if you are looking for a cheap radio with no license fees, which supports the Motorola AES-256 (and the ARC4). there is the TYT UV-MD390 PLUS (be careful, you need the PLUS, not the normal one).

TYT MD-UV390 Plus Waterproof Dual Band DMR Digital Two Way Radio

Take your digital two way communications outdoors on two bands with the TYT MD-UV390 Plus Waterproof DMR Digital Portable Two Way Radio!

www.buytwowayradios.com

it works 100% with Anytone and Motorola in ARC4 and AES-256.

I have a TYT MD-UV390 PLUS and I "unlocked" the "universal" encryption options. I have been trying to get the ARC4 to work with my Vertex Standard EVX-534 radios which are running enhanced privacy. I understand that to be ARC4 as well. I cannot get them to decrypt each other. All the TX/RX settings are good as they can hear each other but I just get a scrambled digital signal.

I even tried a simple key of "0000000000"

Thoughts?

Same KID? Sometimes there are issues where one radio wants a KID in hex, the other wants decimal etc.

Do you have an RTL-SDR key that can be used to record DMR frames? (with dsd)

If yes, if you can post a WAV file in ARC4 MD-UV390 PLUS and a WAV file in ARC4 EVX-534, I can tell you if the protocol is compatible with both.

I tried with Motorola and anytone, I can't get them to be heard either with AES256 or with ARC4, the DSD does not identify the TYT encryption, it is always unknown.

I've had no issue there. My Anytone talks to my 7550 just fine using ARC4 and AES.

what firmware do you have on the TYT ? it works with S119.023

 

[jimmy9999]

My firmware is FIRM S018.016, I can't find the one mentioned, if someone could share it it would be appreciated.

 

[radioopperator]

My two cents: My Motorola XPR enhanced encryption seems to work with my Hytera md782 units and the Harris momentum mobiles.

 

[Forts]

Yes, they are fully compatible with firmware R7 and beyond.

error S19.023 not 119
This is the firmware that is displayed in the radio. apparently TYT doesn't distribute firmware, I don't have the ability to extract the firmware from the radio, you'll have to wait for TYT to release the firmware on their site.
Have you the PLUS version of the MD-UV390? because if it's the normal version (not PLUS) it can't work.

 

[Yorch]

okay. purchased in August 2023 as PLUS, but I do not distinguish anything on the device that relates it to PLUS, we will wait for the long-awaited firmware and a clear version of compatibility with ARC4 that is not yet clarified. The original firmware was replaced by me with openGD, I did not consult the version as I was not aware of the ability of ARC4 upon receipt.

i did the test, key 0000000000 doesn't works. use 0000000001 or any other key but not 0000000000.

Hello, thanks for the info, loaded on my MD-UV390 I find that it does not show the main screen or respond to buttons, I only hear the sound of turning on and the "TYT" logo is fixed on the screen, if I can read and write CPS, any ideas What can happen? Thank you.

Hi thanks for the info, loaded on my MD-UV390 I find that it does not show the main screen or respond to buttons, I only hear the power sound and the "TYT" logo stays fixed on the screen, yes I can read and write CPS, any ideas? What can happen? Thank you.

On mine it works without a problem. Have you taken the right MD-UV390 PLUS model with GPS or without GPS depending on your model? are you sure to have an MD-UV390 PLUS radio as it does not work on normal MD-UV390s.

EDIT:

I just had a flash of light in my head! this is due to the firmware OPENGD77 that changed the FLASH memory, the firmware goes crazy because of this. you need to restore the original FLASH memory (before using opengd77) as shown here:

TYT MD-UV380/390 / RT-3S / DM1701 Installation information - OpenGD77

After you have confirmed that you have an official version of firmware which works with your radio, you should use the official CPS to backup the calibration data in the radio
With your radio connected to a PC, using the official CPS, hold Control + T until the "test" screen is displayed
You should also backup your codeplug using the official CPS

• After the firmware has installed, and you have rebooted the radio, the radio should show the normal OpenGD77 VFO screen, however the frequencies will be some random numbers e.g. 1666.6665MHz because the codeplug area used by the UV380 is probably full of 0xFF bytes.
  Note. The official codeplug used by the radio is not supported. You must make a new codeplug using the OpenGD77 CPS, or use an existing GD77 codeplug.
• You should now backup the Flash memory in your radio and save that file in a safe location

Hello, I see in the shared file that it names the MD-UV380 and 390 without the addition "PLUS", has anyone tested these firmware on the 380 dual-band? My device is 390 September 2023 and it does not work, the screen remains lit with the letters "TYT". I installed the previous version (S18.16.bin) and everything works again without problem.

Thank you TREMENDOUSLY!! (off topic) I flashed my newer uv md-390 to opengd77. The firmware itself is great. Not so much on the newer 10watt plus version and the screen contrast is kinda dim and hard on the eyes. Again, I wholeheartedly appreciate you for posting this firmware as it is EXTREAMLY hard to find. Be well. I got my radio back to stock... 73

Hi all

For PD 502 and PD 505, am I correct in saying that the 3 encryption tick box options are all 'basic' privacy with either 10, 32 or 64 char length?

So no hope of being compatible with moto or anytone enhanced privacy?


thanks.
