XTL/XTS5000 Weird issue with FPP on XTS5000

[YLD2023]

Hello everyone, thanks for the invite !
As far as I know i have read/watched all the content (forum posts/threads, youtube videos, motorola videos) and the only instance where I could find someone with the same issue as I have is this guy here

XTS5000 VHF 136-174 FPP Issues

I have a vhf version that wont take any frequency entry... It shows for instance TX 136.25000 but when i enter a new freq and hit ok it shows

forums.radioreference.com

Now I have read the topic and tried what helpful users said needed to be done

Model : H18QDH9PW7AN (upgraded from H18QDH9PW6AN)
Firmware : 20.50.09
Flashcode : 520001-001306-5

I have also read all the motorola help files about FPP and it does show up on my radio, I can enter FPP program mode on the device and edit most options without problems, except for the frequencies, I press edit, enter the desired frequency, press OK and it goes to 0 and the default frequency is gone.
Code plug is fresh nothing fancy done to it
if anybody have any insight, it would be greatly appreciated, i'm starting to think it's a hardware problem, the device it still under warranty from ebay seller

Was the radio originally a model 2?

Yes thats what the frame says on the label, but cps reads it as model 3

Problem was solved with a new codeplug someone gifted to me.
