Anyone know how to put a 5300 mobile into bootmode so that the application firmware can be upgraded?
Thanks

Re: 5300 Mobile Application Bootload Mode
Depends on which version you have. If you have the original version also called the REV 4, you can hold the PTT while powering on the radio. If the display says C.O.D.E. then you have the REV 4.
If you have a later version, then you have to do one of three things.
1. Purchase a shorting plug from EFJ that will put the radio into boot mode.
2. Modify and RPI box with a shortinig button
3. Short the pins manually with a piece of metal
The two pins you need to short are the RS485_Busy and Ground (they are pins 3 and 7 I think).
As you look at the mic jack, it is the left pin on the bottom row, and the left pin on the row above it. They are diagonal from one another. Short the pins with a piece of metal while powering on the radio. Hold it there for a few seconds, then release. The display should indicate the control head version only. You are now in boot mode.
Be carefull not to short the wrong pins. One of the pins near the RS_485 Busy line is the 5V power line and you can blow the fuse in the control head.

I will check that out. I have the manual for the RPI and it lists the locations and use of the pins. I will give it a shot. Thank you very much for the info IS !
