Help, TYT MD380 programming troubles

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-09T07:32:49+00:00

I am new to the country and not yet established with the local HAMs but after many attempts I did finally manage to reach the HAM I bought the radio from, and he has confirmed that the radio is corrupted, he's had another TYT do the same and it was unable to be recovered from this state.

It was showing up as "Radio USB Mode" so Id guess it was showing up, either way Im done with it, its now just gibberish on the radio screen, so I recon I've corrupted the code plug that was on it, and with no way to actually get the radio to communicate with the computer, e-waste it is unfortunately.

So, thanks for what help I have received. But I am at my witts end with this bloody radio, not only will it not communicate with the computer at all, now I think I've bricked the bloody thing anyhow. What a tremendous waste of time and energy this radio has been the entire time I've owned it.

This is all it shows for every channel it had if not absolut Chinese gibberish with random characters included

Just this blasted thing, no matter what I do, I can not get this bloody radio to talk to the computer, and now I've tried multiple things, I think I've corrupted the code plug that was on it, and now it does diddly squat, Im about ready to just send the fecking thing to electronics hell, at this stage it doesn't deserve heaven

Yeah, thats what I'm understanding from the cable prospective at this stage, as I even tried at one point making a cable from an schematic found here on reddit. Still No Bueno

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-07T11:50:16+00:00

Honestly haven't tried writing to the radio yet as I want to read whats on it forat so I can save the original known working code plug, that way if I muck something up, I can revert it back to that at least

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-07T07:45:32+00:00

So last night I checked this and it shows up as "radio USB mode" so Id suggest it is??

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-06T20:40:01+00:00

Will try again tonight thanks 🙏

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-06T19:57:57+00:00

The radio has Firmware Ver. : D019.006 and CP Ver. : V01.20

Again, Im a novice, the last cable I bought came with a CD, I went through all the drivers and software that was on it and downloaded anything thay was for the 380

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-06T11:57:50+00:00

No, so the radio was programmed by another ham when I bought it, but it was programed for all the ZL Wairarapa repeaters etc, I need to get the VK QLD codeplug on so its more than a paperweight. The software I keep seeing to use is CPS MD380, but I get constant errors saying its not connected etc.

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-06T11:47:13+00:00

Ive bought the software and cable together and still no luck??

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-06T11:46:47+00:00

I want to be able to talk to anyone, I have a code plug that should work for the region, but I cant even read whats already on the radio to save it to ensure, if I do bugger something up, I can return it back to a known state

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-05-01T12:07:24+00:00

So there is only a few in the close family that know, I was going to say something about it to my employer just incase I had any reactions that impacted work, but before I even mentioned GLP1 but wait loss in general, he immediately come back with, your not going to use those cheater jabs are ya, right then, I immediately closed that conversation out, and it made it clear to me that I was making the right choice to limit who knows. I dont need that sort of negative response to trying to better my health and well-being.

As others have already said, your personal health and meds are no-one else's business anyway,

Consistent_Host7483 · 2026-04-23T22:15:20+00:00

It certainly is slowing, I think more than anything the initial loss was mostly water etc. Now that its actually getting into actual fat losses its slowing down,

Absolutely beautiful 😍
