Some one ****ed up a Hytera RD625 VHF repeater when trying to update the firmware

[SM7YBV]

Hi, I'm new here. And from Sweden (sorry for my spelling)

I have a question? Some idiot is trying to upgrade the firmware from V. A8.01.03.001 to another one. Why I can't understand when it worked without problems, but not now. Something went completely wrong. When I try to connect to the repeater with Hytera CPS, I got the message "radio is blocked!" and with a flash tool I got something like "firmware is beyond". Is there any software that just puts the old firmware in without any questions, and if I can get that software or a web link to it.
I can connect to the repeater (USB) and it´s in my local network and an ip address from DHCP.so it must work. so please, help me any one.

What version of firmware did you update to?

 

[SM7YBV]

I dont know

I have done some research The firmware they tried with first is V8.05.07.004 it didn't work, then they tried with V9 and that was it, the repeater didn't start

The software they were using crashed, and they had to kill the process with the task manager. The operating system was Windows 11.
Default Version 8.01.03.001

Something like that?

Something like that?

I think, my friend, that your RD625 was originally locked, and you tried to unlock it by installing a new or different firmware!

The response the CPS gives you is what makes me think about that!

So, I don't think your problem is a firmware issue!

That's my opinion.

Fore sure not a firmware issue. Either someone sent a disable command to the repeater or it had a read or write password and it was entered wrong too many times and disabled the repeater.

1 way to see if it was disable is if you know what the repeater radio id # is, try and send a revive command from another radio and see if it comes back online. But then needs to be same frequency/repeater and it could have a security key needed for that also. But if its your system should have all that info.

COULD try loading a saved codeplug and writing it back in and see if that works also

If all that fails to work then off to see a dealer

Yes, that's what I thought at first.

Incorrect password, too many attempts

If the display shows "Radio Blocked" it means that the repeater was most likely blocked by entering an incorrect password. If the repeater was blocked by sending a command from another radio, the display would show "Radio Disabled" or something like that. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Alberto, is this probably the same case you wrote about in telegram? Can you unblock this repeater?
