• To anyone looking to acquire 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 any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any 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 see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package 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 allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I have a Hytera PT580H v2.06.15.018. I have tried to upgrade the firmware (cannot remember exactly to which version) and once successfully finished, the radio will show blank white screen and LED flashed red a few times. I tried it's original firmware, same issue. Could not access it with CPS. In order to flash it I had to deselect Bootload otherwise an error was shown.

After that, I managed to access it with TeraTerm serial cable. Saw 1st and 2nd Boot stages. Tried to :del all, nothing. Then I somehow deleted 2nd boot and now if I powerup the radio is doing nothing. With TeraTerm I can see just this:

Any idea how to unbrick this unit? Kind regards to anyone with the expetise

What does the :fea command show?

I have a similar situation and I can not solve it in any way.
The radio also flashes a few times with the LED, I think it is in test mode.

I chose Formating programm data in the upgrade kit and as I understand it, it erased all tuner settings and serial numbers.

I myself asked if the problem was solved, because I have the same problem, and I do not know how to solve it

for everyone, the radio without a bootloader in this version of the Hytera PT580H without a plus is not possible, the radio version is just too old, it is possible to remove the processor and program it again, not a profitable repair procedure, I called the service in Germany and it was handed over information, greetings to all interested

Generic programming cables are fairly cheap. On ebay I suggest getting one with built in switch for cps/FW.

Just because there is new firmware don't mean YOU need it! And some times they take things AWAY FROM YOU!
