# Unbricking the UV-K5 V1
Restoring a UV-K5 V1 accidentally flashed with the F4HWN 4.3 Fusion 🔥 Edition firmware, using OpenOCD and a ST-LINK programmer.
## Introduction
Some users have accidentally flashed a UV-K5 V1 with the F4HWN 4.3 Fusion 🔥 Edition firmware. This edition **is only** compatible with:
- UV-K5 V3
- UV-K1
When flashed onto a UV-K5 V1, it causes a complete brick, such as:
- The radio does not power on anymore
- DFU mode is unavailable
- No LED activity
- Flashing tools cannot detect the device
Fortunately, the UV-K5 V1 can be fully restored by using OpenOCD and a ST-LINK programmer.
## Requirements
You will need:
- A ST-LINK V2 programmer (original or clone)
- Four Dupont jumper wires
- A small screwdriver to open the radio
- A computer with OpenOCD installed (Windows / macOS / Linux).
## SWD connection points on the UV-K5 V1
The radio must be opened to access the front side of the PCB.
The UV-K5 V1 exposes a 4-pin SWD (Serial Wire Debug) interface:
|Signal| UV-K5 V1 Pad| ST-LINK Pin|
|:-------- |:--------:| --------:|
|SWCLK |SWCLK pad | SWCLK
|SWDIO |SWDIO pad | SWDIO
|GND |GND pad | GND |
|3.3V | VCC pad | 3.3V |
> [!WARNING]
> Do not connect the battery while using the ST-LINK.
The ST-LINK provides 3.3V to the board.
## Installing OpenOCD
### macOS (Homebrew)
`brew install openocd`
### Windows
Download the official build from:
- [Website](https://openocd.org/pages/getting-openocd.html)
- [GitHub](https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/releases)
### Linux (Ubuntu / Debian)
`sudo apt install openocd`
### Verify installation
`openocd --version`
## Unbrick procedure
### Connect the ST-LINK
1. Connect the ST-LINK pins to the SWD pads:
* 3.3V → 3.3V
* SWDIO → SWDIO
* SWCLK → SWCLK
* GND → GND
2. Plug the ST-LINK into your computer.
3. Power on your UV-K5 V1 (normal mode).
### Flash the bootloader
From the unbrick_k5_v1 directory:
#### Option A — Use the helper script
`
./unbrick_k5_v1.sh
`
#### Option B — Run the OpenOCD command manually
`
openocd \
-f ./interface/stlink.cfg
-f ./target/dp32g030.cfg \
-c "init; reset halt; uv_flash_bl bootloader.bin; shutdown"
`
If no errors appear, the bootloader has been successfully restored.
- Disconnect and remove the ST-LINK from your UV-K5 V1 SWD port
- Reinstall the battery
- Power on the radio on DFU mode
The device should now start correctly on DFU mode again. You can then flash stock firmware, or the [F4HWN firmware for UV-K5 V1](https://github.com/armel/uv-k5-firmware-custom) (not the Fusion Edition).
# Disclaimer
This procedure requires opening the device and directly manipulating its microcontroller over SWD. Incorrect use may permanently damage the radio. Proceed at your own risk.
