If after upgrade, you can not go to the web interface of ICOM, it is likely that the IP has changed. All
what you need to recover the firmware of the ICOM is in the archive Restore ICOM.7z. To assign a
standard IP 169.254.92.38, take a clean USB flash drive and copy the files USER.settings and
user.settings.log, insert the USB flash drive into an available ICOM and wait when the running track will

r80
replace the LED color from red to green, and then the flash drive can be removed. If you need another IP,
edit the file in Notepad USER.settings, before being copied to a USB flash drive.

If the upgrade process there was a failure at some point or the ICOM does not restart at the end, then
you're out of luck and will have to pick up the soldering iron. But before you blow off flash chip, try to roll

e
0
back using ICOM_Restore.bin file and repeat the update again. Copy ICOM_Restore.bin to clean flash

c8
drive, insert it into the ICOM, press and hold the Reset button on the ICOM, supply it with power. All LEDs

pid
will light up red and then release the button and press it three times all LEDs flash red. We wait for about
a minute and restart ICOM. If you revert failed and the ICOM observed non-standard symptoms, you have
to change the flash chip. Very often when you upgrade falls the flash chip K9F2G08U0BPCB0. A sure sign

of fall flash chip is a small amount of free space.

I warn fans to remove the chip, with the ax, nichrome filament, blades, needles, ICOM card in a very

tracks. The board under the flash chip a lot of empty dimes, which are easy to fly off even with careful

Anyone who sees such a screen when you try to connect to the car, when setting VCI "HO-ICOM / ENET
local network" through WIFI, the problem lies in your WIFI card driver. Try to roll back the driver to the
rte

older version. For example, I have a WIFI card Atheros AR956x. On Win7 and Win10 everything works like
clockwork, and Win8.1 refused. The driver was 10.0.0.326, rolled to 10.0.0.285 and everything worked
fine. From the principle I tried to update the driver again, and again everything stopped working. So try
Ca

to play around with drivers and find a best one.
