problem with Com Driver
problem with Com Driver
Today when I went to flash the radio instead of it getting a com port, I got the following error.
USB device not recognised.
the last USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it.
and when I go in to device manager I have an unknown USB device that says device driver descriptor failed.
I tried running the cps installer as admin as well as downloading and running the driver installer and bat file.
I also ran the bat file as admin and it said it installed successfully, but I still get the same error.
What else can I try to get windows to detect the serial port for the radio?

Did you try another USB port or another computer?N6RXT wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 8:40 pmToday when I went to flash the radio instead of it getting a com port, I got the following error.

Are you using the same cable you normally use? (Baofeng and Radioddity use different / incompatible cables)
Re: problem with Com Driver
I got this fixed. Yes I was using the same cable and radio.
To fix it I did a restore settings from the menu. once I restored settings, I powered on the radio and it worked first time.

Re: problem with Com Driver
What radio type and firmware version are you using?
Re: problem with Com Driver
OK.,
Thats strange.
I've never seen the USB client in the radio hang, which is what appears to have happened in your case.
I presume the radio was usable, apart from the COM port not working.
As the only time I've seen something similar the radio was constantly rebooting.
