MD380 - not receiving analog signals

[prais...@hotmail.com]

I just got a new MD380.  Installed TyToolz and loaded codeplug that I have used in other 380s & 390s with TyToolz....  You would think it would mirror the others... HOWEVER.....   I am NOT receiving ANY analog signals.  I AM able to transmit Analog, but total dead Receive.  All digital functions are OK.  Thanks for the help  de KF0C

His utility will also flash your radio back to either stock or the main travis goodspeed branch of the fw.  You are welcome to revert.

Yes! I am having this issue! I hooked mine up to a service monitor and its totally deaf. Even setting the channel to CSQ does not help. ADDITIONALLY, its deaf on DMR as well, UNLESS I keep it awake. Ive found if I keep twisting the channel knob back and forth during breaks in the convo it will stay 'awake' and continue receiving.
Then, when I tried to use the old firmware options on the tytools, when the radio booted back up the screen displayed upside down. So I reloaded 380tools.

Probably only to flash it back to stock. So far, I have been too lazy to do so.

Where do I get the latest firmware? I 've tried everything 

[Shane Daniels]

This is what I've used.  https://github.com/KD4Z/md380tools-vm

Had to install VirtualBox and then the VM I downloaded.  Inside the VM you build a new firmware and userDB for installation.  Works for md380 / md390 / with or without gps.

I ran 'glv' to build a new fw and sent it to the radio. Still no luck. It will on occasion show signal level on the display, but its somewhat random.

I'm wondering if TYT released a new version of the radio and that's why it's not working with the new firmware. I have three of these radio one from early 2016 and 2 from June 2018. The 2 new ones are not working with any new firmware or old. 

[colton...@gmail.com]

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Also I got a message thats no longer here about the screen being upside down when reloading the stock firmware. Yes! I have the same issue. Its a real headscratcher. Why would converting it back to stock invert the screen. Unless its a tripwire thats hit when we load a non-stock firmware and its intentionally bricking the radio. 'cause, thats what I have, is a brick. Deaf and wont RX with md380tools and upside down screen if you try to go back to stock. I wish I had never loaded the firmware. Its looking like Im gonna have to file the thing in the trash bin and get another. $100 down the tubes.

[Dale Farnsworth]

If the screen is upside down, you flashed the wrong type of firmware. There are 4 versions of the original firmware for the md380 (non-gps), depending on the date of manufacture. There is also a version for the model with GPS.  There are two versions of the md380tools firmware, one for non-GPS and one for GPS.  A common symptom of flashing the wrong version is the upside down screen.  Try a different version.

I hesitate to take you another direction, but editcp makes it very easy to write the different versions of the original firmware or the current md380tools firmware.  See https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/

Well, thats interesting, but what I did was use the flash old feature in the VM, this was before I built a new-new or a new-new-new firmware, right after I did the original upload and realized the radio was broke. So it should have been the FW that came with the radio. It successfully loaded but was upside down.

[Dale Farnsworth]

The md380s produced in the past couple of months do have a new version of firmware (version D14.04) and md380tools doesn't yet support this model. The current version of editcp makes it easy to restore the original version. Just select "Menu->Radio->md380tools->Write original firmware to radio".  Then select the version of the original firmware you need.  See https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/

Thanks for the great information. I thought my new TYT MD-380 couldn't receive, until I used editcp to restore the 14.04 firmware. Boom, the radio can receive.

Thanks,

I fixed my radio by doing this - 

Download tool editcp-1.0.3-installer.exe - https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/downloads/windows/

Install the tool. Plug radio in and then go to - menu - radio - write factory firmware to radio - select your radio.

If you notice that the screen is upside down on your radio after flashing or it is stuck in a boot loop then select another version type, mine was the newest install type.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! I have bought my MD-380 mid 2018 and recently went ahead installing md380tools. Same situation, going to idle mode, not receiving then. On analog even worse, no RX at all.

editcp fixed this via bringing the D014.004 firmware back to my device, which I could not find anywhere else.

Thanks again !!!

Awesome.  I love it when editcp is useful!

[dbraunco...@gmail.com]

The thread by Jac...@gmail.com dated 11/18/2018 above is exactly what you need to do in order to restore the analog receive on any of the md380s sold after about 12/18, with the newer firmware. As of this date, neither hacks (tools or toolz) has a fix, including the “tools” “no sleep tweak”. Don (KB6BOB)

I just was gifted an MD380 that is relatively new but bricked with a prior firmware update applied by the former owner.  I flashed firmware 14.04 successfully, checked codeplug (1.04 I think) and all is in order except it is now deaf as a door nail on both analog and digital.  I downloaded the codeplug editor as above and ran without success.  Is there an even newer firmware version than 14.04 and if so, where do I find it?

Tim, download Dale's editcp software. You can try various versions of the factory firmware.  If the screen is upside down, try a different version. The latest version (I have an older MD380) I could load was 14.04.  There is a V15 version, too.  Hope this helps.
