What happens if one makes a copy of the ept with Mpro of a Hq if it reloads it on the same device? Never do this as the device becomes unusable as the software does not recognize it and will not open. However if the copy has been made with ocflash and reloaded on the Hq said file saved ocfd, the device is recognized again and the software is opened. I have not spoken at all about pic 18f458, as this is another story. One should not recharge because yes, but it costs little to make a copy with ocflash. Everything said has to do with FTDI and is directed to prevent this problem in particular.

I understand what yo wanna do but maybe I wasn't such a clear for you.
So this is the last explanation regarding this.
If your tool is in HQ clone mode then you can make a backup with OCFlash and yo can use the File to Device to flash it back
Its actually an illusion. Nothing happend in fact
But if a mistake as you said your tool its not in HQ clone mode then if you se the backup ocfd you will not be able to restore the tool to HQ clone mode
MProg cannot flash any ept file if the FTDI is in HQ clone mode
Only if the vid/pid is 0403/0000 as I rememeber.
If you want to keep my words in your mind that this will help you
Otherwise you cost nothing to make a ocfd backup. Its you choise
Bt all you have to do its to keep the FTDI in HQ clone mode and you will be safe
Good luck

For God sake, stop spamming nonsense about special HQ clone mode and make it a mystery as it is something special.
It's only 2 bytes related to your FTDIchipID written in user space (bytes 0x62 and 0x63 in earlier versions - Romanian clone and 0x64 0x65 in later ones) and B2 instead of V2 in product description. Otherwise it is just the plain old China clone.
One can certainly bypass that "protection" by brute force just by trying all 65k possibilities for those 2 bytes. It only takes a batch script and small FTDI user space enabled write program (there are even official examples of how to make it on FTDI web site).

If one has actual ocfd dump and knows FTDIchipID of an HQ clone, one can flash that ocfd dump on new device and fake FTDIchipID with OPCOMFUT to be the same as in HQ clone. Then Chinese clone becomes HQ clone.

Mate I will not start a discussion with you. I just want let you read again what I said.
I didn't said that is special. I said its diffrent.
I said that if the opcom its in Hq mode and you extract the ocfd as a backup and then your same tool is nornal mode you cannot use that backup.
I didn't explained how.to make a normal clone a HQ one.
But if you know the solution how to change a clone in HQ mode why don't you share the solution. It will be easy for all peaple to make their clones tonuse with the HQ softwares then to explain all of this to guys that are not familliar.
Good luck

Again, if the FTDI data is extracted from an HQ Opcom clone with Mpro and then recorded on the same device with Mpro, the device would stop working with the software, as this would indicate error and would not open, please do not recommend it, But if they are extracted with Ocflash instead of Mpro and re-recorded, that error does not occur and ask is it bad to have a copy? I understand that it is prevention, I only intend to help but one is free to follow a advice or not and I do not intend to give lessons to anyone.
 
P.S. We all know that Ocflash changes the Fw on the MCU, but to this I do not mean because it is well-known.

Well if you said that MProg can change the ept in HQ clone FTDI so why you cannot revert back at China Clone mode ( normal mode )?
Why you cannot change OP-COM B2 to OP-COM V2?
Why you cannot change the serial FT66....?
Why you cannot change the VID/PID?
Only new ftdi drivers 2.12.xx can change the ftdi vid/pid to 0403/0000. But as you know this can be easy fixed not do anything to ftdi.
Well I am not here to post just in case to let peaple see how smart I am. I just want to advice peaple what its best for them or not.
If peaple knows a lot of things how this works why they don't share a solution?
As I said if your FTDI will be defected a backup will not helping. Only if you know how to generate a new ftdi dump for a new FTDI.
Or peaple that show us how it works triked already this solution and why they don't want to share it? Maybe because they sell it too. Or just talk.
Me all I wanna do is to help and don't wanna spam.
But if pleaple said that my post means spam then I wont do this and I will not post anything regarding opcom
Good luck

Well if you said that MProg can change the ept in HQ cline FTDI so why you cannot revert back at Cjina Clone mode ( normal mode )?
Why you cannot change OP-COM B2 to OP-COM V2?

You are not helping if you are sharing misinformation.
Ofc you can revert back to China clone "mode" and it is actually very simple.
The only thing you need to do is go to device manager and uninstall the FTDI driver (USB serial converter). Then plug back your OP-COM, let it reinstall the drivers, go to MProg and program OP-COM v2.ept, et voila, you got your China clone back.

Enjoy it!

Rule 3: Do not Post Links on the Board! External links must be attached in a notepad file.

Thanks, Admin
