Hiya all.
I have managed to get myself a radio from ebay and the damn thing has a password on the codeplug.
Can i hex edit even tho i can't read the codeplug?

you should be able to do that if you hex edit the ram on your computer. or an easier way would be to find a different codeplug that don't have a password and just write that to your radio.

i have a hex editor ready, but i don't know what i'm looking for.
any ideas?

restart your computer so the ram is empty and close out of every other program or messanger running and start the program & read the radio and wait for it to pop up on the screen to ask for a password. while that is up run the winhex and open the ram and you will see in the window everything that is in the memory of your computer, find the motorola cps part and look thru it, the password will be in there somewhere, it could be numbers, letters, anything. when you find it, type it in and it will let you see the codeplug for the radio, then disable the password part.

it may make it easier if you have another good codeplug that you can put a password on that you know what it is and what you are looking for, that way you know what spot to look for on yours?

excellent.

i don't think that overwriting the codeplug will work, because during the verification that the radio can take a new codeplug, it's still asking for the password.

i'll get hexing now and i will let you know the outcome.

it should still take another codeplug with the same model number, all it does is verify the model number, not what's in it.

ok.
well so far i've had no luck with hex.
any idea where i can get the codeplug for MDH50RDC9AA1AN
