Customize Baofeng Radio Start Up Screen Image 5RM UV-17 More

Customize Baofeng Radio Start Up Screen Image. Make your own image appear when you turn on your Baofeng radio. This works with the new Baofeng 5RM, UV-17 pro, UV-5r, UV-17R, UV-21R, UV-5G Plus, DM-1701, and a few others. The boot up image will only stay on for a second or two but it is nice to customize your own HAM radio to be different from others.

I tried to customize the start-up screen image but it initially said "Failure". I am on the right port as verified by my PC's Device Manager. The resolution was 160x128 pixels in Bitmap (BMP) File format and 60KB size. What I did was to reinsert the programming cable to the radio, make sure it fits, then change the USB port, and it worked! Thank you for this, Sir. 73!

same problem here. The radio lights up like it's trying to do something but I always get "failure". Correct image size, BMP, 60KB, correct port. I can read/write to the radio otherwise. Tried multiple images, multiple USB ports. If I slightly remove the cable from the radio it starts to go green like it wants to transfer but doesn't move.

[@mattmakesmachines]

Is there any way to customize the start up sound?

[@CameraRay]

Not with the stock firmware. You can turn sound off though.

Thanks bud... I love random details like this.

[@Explorer_Camargo]

How do I edit frequency, it doesn’t work on my part.

[@rullirulli7419]

mine starts transferring on COM5 and then shows FAILURE... can you help me?

[@CameraRay]

Are you trying to upload a bitmap file under 100 kb ?

[@rullirulli7419]

@@CameraRay yes, 28 kb

[@CameraRay]

If you follow the steps in the video you should not have a problem. I own two 5RMs and have changed the images multiple times. Many off brand cords and fake Baofeng cords have been known to cause issues. Mabe that could be it.

[@user-sq8xt9gk7u]

Try inserting the plugs on radio a bit more. Or reinserting.

[@multiverse-rc]

i tried this but it came out garbled i did everything you said to do?? im lost

[@CameraRay]

You uploaded as a BMP file at 160x128?

[@andrebjorklund96]

​I did that on the baofeng uv-21r and same thing happened to me even though I followed the video and imported a bmp file 160x128

[@CameraRay]

You may need to change the image size to match your screen dimensions. I think the UV-21r may have a taller screen that their other color screens.

[@user-sq8xt9gk7u]

What resolutoon of final file?

[@CameraRay]

Mine was 47kb. Max needs to be under 100kb
