• 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.

XPR XPR7580e Stuck on “GOB Bootloader” Screen

I recently received my first Motorola radio from eBay. The radio is in great condition and had a codeplug installed with everything working. I used CPS to read the codeplug and modify it to my needs. After I loaded the new codeplug to the radio, it boots like normal then shows “GOB bootloader” on the screen and only responds to the volume knob. I have not been able to find much information about this error and am wondering if anyone here can help. I made the mistake of not backing up the codeplug before modifying it. Perhaps someone has a blank codeplug I could load to the radio? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Run CPS. Recover radio with appropriate files. GOB board is installed but not initialized. Not needed if you don't have a system that requires it.

Or just go through your code plug and turn off (un Check) the Option Board in the channels where it is turned on and then rewrite your code plug into the radio --

You also, might try Menu, Zones and pick another zone without a Option Board channel enabled.

Since it's a 7580e it's 800Mhz and was most likely was on a Connect Plus carrier network before you received it -
