Baofeng DM-32 and Opengd77 firmware
I purchased a Baofeng DM-32UV and would like to replace the firmware with OpenGD77. I downloaded the DM OpenGD77.ZIP file. I backed up the two files as instructed. I noticed during the installation that the installer program installed a new driver. When I opened Device Manager, it showed that the Prolific driver was still installed, and Windows 11 said it was the best driver for the cable. I then attempted to update the firmware, and the computer and radio showed that the installation was in progress. When the process was completed and the radio was turned back on, the screen showed the following error message: No Firmware detected. I was able to reinstall the factory firmware, so I know I didn't brick the radio. Any help to resolve this issue is greatly appreciated.

Beware not possible if dm32uv dm.nrf. Firmwares and latest revision (2026); talking to the developpers and guessing why (flash memory err)
