After trying to upload a new codeplug to my scanner yesterday, it went into a bootloop, and I believe its completly bricked now. The scanner shows the first start up screen of Uniden Bearcat, then goes to the copyright page, then crashes.
Here's what I've tried:
- Let the scanner sit unplugged for hours and retried the following steps
- Reset the scanner at least 10 times by pressing (2)+(9)+(HOLD), and it displays "All memory clear please wait" - then goes back into bootloop
- Pressed (6)+(L/O) to get into force firmware mode, plugged in the cable (computer recognizes scanner), and reloaded the most recent firmware (with BC_VUP) also goes into a bootloop after updating
- More frowned upon, but unplugged the programming cable while it was updating the firmware (so when turned on it was just a blue screen), then reinstalled firmware, and then it goes into the same bootloop
Nothing has helped, and it still goes into a boot loop on power-up. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve? Seems like there are similar problems surrounding this scanner with bootlooping.
Thanks in advance!
