AT-D578UV Firmware Updates

Receive)
|
AT-D578UV
Programming Software &
Firmware
Updating
General notes on firmware upgrading:
- Firmware updates do not need to be applied in order. You
can skip right to the latest working firmware update.
- Normally each firmware update will also include a new
version of programming software.
- All radios shipped will have the latest updates installed
that were available on the date of shipping.
General notes on installing programming
software:
Some antivirus software will give a false-positive warning
when downloading or installing programming software.
The following procedure is a workaround for Kaspersky Antivirus and
other brands of antivirus should be similar.
- Turn the antivirus software off while downloading or
installing the programming software
- Install the programming software
- Open the "settings" or "tools" window for the antivirus
software, but do not re-activate its protection yet
- You should find a way to add an "exception" so that a
particular program will not be scanned by the antivirus software
- Use Google to search for "name-of-your-antivirus-software"
+ "add an exception" if you need help figuring it out
- You will add exceptions for the .exe files in the folder
where your programming software was installed
- If done correctly, your antivirus will ignore the
programming software when you run it
- Remember to turn your antivirus software back on after
adding the exceptions
A USB cable driver required for AT-D868UV, AT-D878UV
& AT-D578UV radios
Your choice:
If you have not already done so, download and install this driver BEFORE
connecting your radio to your computer. Select x86 for 32-bit systems
or select x64 for 64-bit systems. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
For Windows 10, some people report that with the programming
cable attached to the radio (only), turning on the radio and then
connecting the programming cable to your computer, will usually load a
working USB driver.

WARNING
SOME DEALERS LIE ABOUT FIRMWARE
It has come to my attention that some dealers are not
being truthful when it comes to firmware update information. Let me set
the record straight. Firmware is written by the factory and it is
tested by various volunteer beta
testers. Bugs in the firmware are reported to the factory for their
technician to correct. When the beta testers and the factory are
convinced the firmware is working properly, the factory will provide an
"official release" of the firmware and distribute it to all of their
dealers. If a dealer tells you that you must download and use firmware
ONLY from their site, they are telling you a lie. Officially released
firmware from the factory is compatible with radios sold by ANY dealer.
Most dealers will install the latest firmware update before shipping
radios to customers. If they include a custom welcome screen, such as
their company logo, their firmware is still the same, only the welcome
screen is changed. If they tell you that using officially released
firmware from another dealer will "brick your radio", it is a lie.
There is no US distributor for Anytone radios. All the larger dealers,
like myself, order directly from the factory and all these dealers are
given the same firmware updates when they are released by the factory.

..................................................Firmware
Update Sequence....................................................
It seems that some people have a problem with the button pressing
sequence when trying to put the D578UV into firmware update mode. The
following procedure works for me 100% of the time.
1- Have the radio powered on
2- Place a finger on both the MENU and EXIT buttons, but do not press
3- Press and hold the POWER button
4- The INSTANT that the display goes dark, press and hold the
MENU and EXIT buttons
5- Release the POWER button. The red light above the power button
should blink slowly
6- Release the MENU and EXIT buttons. The red light should continue to
blink and the
radio is ready to accept the firmware update. |
