Did you restore the original flash memory?

What happens if you load Opengd77 again, does it start then?

Yes memory flashed with tyt software

opengd77 message during donor software load is “donor firmware version is not correct”

Regarding the flash backup , its not the firmware but a config and data area that has different structures regarding of if you use native or opengd77
firmware.
There is a risk that native firmware can't handle the different flash memory structure when you go back to native firmware.
When you go from native to opengd77 you will notice corrupted config data that will be solved after first config load with OpenGD77 CPS.

But native firmware may have other data areas that aren't solved with a normal config write.

Therefore you should backup native flash with OpenGD77 CPS after the initial load with OpenGD77 firmware.
( Extras -> OpenGD77 Support -> Backup Flash )

The donor software for MD-UV380/RT3S is inside this zip file
https://www.passion-radio.com/index.php ... chment=760

and you should point to MD9600-CSV(2571V5)-V26.45.bin extracted from that zip file.

The same problem is still persisting.
When checking the calibration data using the TYT CPS everything is blank. This may be a part of the problem resulting from incorrect or incomplete TYT firmware
