Update firmware with cps?

Hi!
I feel this is a silly question, but I am really lost.
I updated the GD77 to the openGD77 firmware with the community CPS. So far, so good.
Now, I can only access the codeplug of that radio via the special openGD77 menu. From that menu, I can read and write calibration, codeplug, flash. I need to select "com3".
From the "normal" menus, I cannot access the radio any more. I suppose this is normal.

There is a slight problem with my radio and I notice there is a new version of the firmware, dated 16th october.

How do I install that latest version?

Hold down SK1+SK2 whilst starting the radio and go to Extras -> Firmware loader

Select your model and after pressing OK select the Firmware version. Hit OK again and there you go.

Don't forget to backup your radio before.

It is generally a good idea to read the user guide (link above).

For quite some time, you need to use the OpenGD77CPS:

But of course. Silly me.

Thank you.
