Harris M7300 Stuck in Program Mode

[Jacksonechols55]

Hello,
Does anyone have any ideas as to why an m7300 would be stuck in program mode? I have written to it several times to see if it would knock it out of program mode and did the ECP reboot with no luck.

I was getting a PERSDATA ERROR=0502 but I believe that has been fixed just stuck in program mode with program on the screen.

Thanks in advance.

Reprogram it with a simple conventional frequency and see if that works.

I have tried that. I made a new blank code plug with a simplex conventional frequency, and it still does not work. Stays stuck in program mode. The radio is accepting the codeplug because when you read it the simple codeplug is in the radio.

Rewrite the burnapp, bootapp, and firmware. Also, make a back up of your Feature set if you haven't already.

Or just try reading the features from Radio Maintenance and then hit the ‘Jump’ button and see if it restarts.

you have something enabled in the personality that the radio is not featured for. I have been through that before. what software are you using rpm or rpm2

I have used both. Mainly been messing with rpm2. I understand the error code is something enabled that the radio is not featured for but would that keep the radio in program mode also?

click on the horn ( voice annunciation ) you will see format flashdrive on the bottom right , click on that and that should get rid of any programming in the radio that could be causing the issue and try to write a fresh personality , make sure you have your radio selection made in the tools tab as well

Rewrite the personality, then reboot the radio manually

Use Radio Maintenance tools and JUMP it.

That did not work. Tried it multiple times.

Did you ever try the voice annunciation window and format flash drive? That’s worked several times in these weird situations.

Did you read it before you wrote to it? If you blew an old version file into it and the firmware is too new, you'll have to reflash the firmware. That may get tricky.

Always check to see if you can read a new radio with your version of RPM or RPM2 before attempting to write to it.

 

[lbd1123]

That did not work.

Please send the error code its displaying along with the system type. I will check what the code means in the user's manual

If you put the wrong personality in it, you really should use the format flash drive option in the voice annunciation section. It will leave firmware, burn, boot, enc… it just completely erases the part of the memory where personalities and VA files are stored. It’s fixed some pretty frustrating problems in the past…

Tried it twice. States format flash drive failed. The radio returned error.

Ooof… that’s a bummer…!I’ve never had that happen. You may need to start familiarizing yourself with putty.

make sure you are NOT using RPM2 as that software is not made for that but RPM14 or less only..
