If I try and upload any of these, I am getting an error - "the length of the file is too much"

The radio is in programming mode and I have updated the firmware. I cannot however upload any of the modded firmware

e-m-m-a commented

I am using Portable Radio update tools V1.1.12

That's rather strange... Can you tell me the size of the firmware file(s)?

e-m-m-a commented

k5_26_encrypted_18to1300MHz.bin is 144kb

Tunas1337 commented

That is definitely fishy... It's 57.3KB and GitHub confirms it.
Are you in China? Chinese users have reported being unable to download the firmware, getting garbage instead.

Please attach file here if possible.

As I suspected :P
The file is HTML. I believe you clicked "save as" on the file listing on the main page.
Here is a direct link to the firmware you sent:
https://github.com/Tunas1337/UV-K5-Modded-Firmwares/raw/main/k5_26_encrypted_18to1300MHz.bin

Let me know if this works.

Ah nightmare sorry I don't usually download binaries from github. Thanks so much! It's working now.

Opening in Notepad or any viewer like exeinfo pe could solve it quickly.
