Hello everyone, have a problem. I bought a Flex 3000 and the wrong firmware was installed on it. it is recognized as a Flex 5000. if I now want to install the original firmware.bin it refuses to do so in the firmware uploader. Can someone send me the update program with which I can simply copy the Flex 3000 firmware over it?

OM Sven,
I suggest to fill in a help ticket with Flex about this matter and follow their instructions. If something is done incorrectly.
Your radio can become a "door stopper" and consequently, never usable. Alternatively, seek advice from an OM in Germany who is servicing Flex radios.

Sven,
Were you able to acquire the fix from FLEX tech? I have the same issue with one of the 3000s I received from my best friend's estate.

[{"insert":"yes a good friend of mine reprogrammed the start up freq after i sent my flex to the dealership. he said irreparable. exchanged bios twice, same error again and again. my friend rewrote the starting frequency and since then the flex has been running great. Regards Sven DM4SH\n"}]0
