Try a different USB port or a smaller (≤ 8 GB) USB 2.0 drive. | | Radio turns off, but new features are missing | You might have applied only one part of the update. Check the manufacturer’s guide – you may need to perform a second update for the MCU. | | ”Archive is corrupt” error when extracting | Your WinRAR version is too old (must be version 5.0 or later). Update WinRAR or use 7‑Zip. If the error persists, redownload the file. | | Radio becomes unresponsive after update | Try a factory reset (usually holding a combination of buttons for 10 seconds). If that fails, you may need to re‑flash the firmware using a programmer tool like CH341. | | USB drive not recognized | Reformat the drive as FAT32 using the default allocation unit size. Avoid “quick format” – perform a full format. |
