Radioddity Extended manual for Radioddity DB25-D, DB40-D & GD-88 v3.0

When updating IAP-B on my
DB40-D / GD-88 the counter
does not show any
progress.
The DB40-D and GD-88 do have two CPUs: One
for VFO-A and the other one for VFO-B. When
updating the, you will need to update the
firmware for both CPUs, A and B. Each of them
needs to get its own update binary file. Make
sure that you always write the A-file to IAP-A
and the B-file to IAP-B. Whilst updating the A-
part you will see an ascending counter on the
radio. Whilst updating the B-file there will not
be such counter on the radio due to technical
reasons. However, the IAP-program will report
on the success of the B-update.
After performing a firmware
update on my GD-88 DMR-
channels evoked on VFO-B
no longer have a contact
assigned to them
In general, we advise to read the current
codeplug from the radio and store it on your
PC before you do any firmware update of the
radio. After the firmware update has
completed, write back the previously stored
codeplug to the radio. This does ensure that
your previous settings will be working as
expected.
I want to reset the radio but
cannot find any hint on how
to do so.
The radio does not have any possibility to
perform a real reset. However, it does have a
built in functionality, called ‘factory reset’.
Whenever you trigger that factory reset (on the
radio) the current codeplug will be replaced by
a codeplug that has previously been saved as
the 'factory reset' codeplug (see Factory Reset
on page 94 and on page 122 for more
details on that).
After performing a
firmware update, VFO-
B keeps displaying
‘Unprogrammed’
Prior to performing a firmware update, save
the current codeplug to a file. After doing so,
the firmware update may be applied. Finally,
the previously saved codeplug should then
again be written to the radio using the CPS.
After performing a firmware
update only a white screen is
shown on startup.
This is due to the fact that we do have slightly
different hardware revisions out in the field that
are covered by the very same firmware. Chapter
14.4, White or scrambled screen after firmware
update on page 199 does describe the
procedure to get rid of the white screen.
After downgrading the
radio only a black screen
is shown on startup
Never downgrade the radio to a firmware
version prior to the one that had been released
March 30th, 2023.
How to reset the radio to
factory default settings?
There is no such real factory default setting.
Please check chapter 11.3 Factory Reset on page
122 for more details.
