View Full Version : MTP700 codeplug broken

When writing MTP700, CPS hangs and, as result, codeplug was broken.

Now, when trying to read or write radio, error [-126] "Unable to detect the radio codeplug location" appears.

With "Factory CPS" no option to restore this. "Restore radio" and "set factory configuration" options don't have effect - again got error 126.

What software needed to restore this radio? "True" MTP700 Depot or anything else?

Thanks.

It looks like that codeplug is broken because CPS can`t recognize it. Sometimes even flash memory can be broken and that`s why You got error during programming. Have You saved original codeplug? If yes, You can try to restore Your radio to previous state. If You program radio with default codeplug created with Depot software, You will loose tunning data and then radio need`s to be tuned.

RA1AIE says that the "restore" button of the program is not working.
This is true because RA1AIE and I have the same version of the MTP700 depot (?).
The version that we have R 7B.398.01 (Nov 22 2006) appears to be the depot version but I am afraid it is not.
Except the restore button other buttons (depot functions) are not working as well...

Therefore restore with the software above is not an option :(

I have backup codeplug, of course.
But dont have ability to "force write" it into radio. CPS previously tryes to read radio and fails on that.

RA1AIE, I guess we have to try to find the real depot version of MTP700 software.

It looks like that You need to have enabled "write entire codeplug" option, only available in Lab... It`s very strange that lab for MTP700 i hard to find... I know that there are people who have it but they are not wiling to share!
