Since no power output on other modes sounds like blown PA.? The fT817/8 are not so forgiving in the PA.? I am on my 3rd PA in my 2004 FT817.
If you wish to order a PA board, about $60, from Yaesu might hurry since the rig has been discontinued.

Many thanks for your help, I will take the transceiver to a technician now and whenever its ready I will come back to let everyone else now if that was the only reason and if it got fixed.

Re: Patched BASE firmware with changed TX audio filter low cutoff frequency
#firmware
Bytes sequences might be different (for example 1.1.6? - 0x4ff49672, 1.1.7 - 0x4ff49673). As far as I remember - 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 uses different MCU registers to load value. Not sure - may be it related with another compiler version or something like this. I have no ideas how to create a patch script, which will handle such situations.

Re: Patched BASE firmware with changed TX audio filter low cutoff frequency

Thanks Georgy.
Actually my intent was to create a 'generic' script that in theory could be applied to any new Xiegu X6100 baseband firmware without any constraints on the checksum or the actual offsets of those changes.
My idea is that as we get more familiar with the X6100 baseband firmware, we could have a set of patches conceptually similar to your original one that could be applied to overwrite parts of the BB firmware to improve it.

Re: v0.25.1 displaying as v0.25.0 ???
Many thanks for your reply Georgy. Excellent work that we are all very thankful for.

v0.25.1 displaying as v0.25.0 ???
?
I have downloaded and installed v0.25.1 from GitHub. As the x6100 boots it briefly displays the firmware as being v0.25.0 not v0.25.1? I am a little confused. Have I installed the latest firmware?
?

X6100 have a weak output transformer - I heard about a case, when using FT8 with high output power burnt it out (with a condenser) - (it's on Russian, but you can use auto translated cc).
Another variant - if you used ATU - you can try to switch to any DIGI mode and press PTT for a second.

Re: Patched BASE firmware with changed TX audio filter low cutoff frequency

Thanks Franko.
I created a bit more strict script for patching, while I apply changes to 1.1.8. It checks md5 of source before patching, uses predefined offsets for changes and checks, that content on each chunk is equal to expected original value.

Based on your patches to Xiegu BASE firmware, tonight I wrote a simple Python script (attached) that should apply the corresponding changes to future (or older) Xiegu BB firmwares (unless they change their code significantly, of course).
?
The script can be run as follows:
./patch-160Hz.py <original decrypted BASE firmware> <patched decrypted BASE firmware>

Re: TX not working under CAT / digital modes
Sorry to hear.? Could an R1CBU 0.25.0 user report on your experience with this issue?? Did you experience FT8 TX issues that R1CBU 0.25 resolved?? Thanks for your input, and thanks to the developers of this firmware!? (I look forward to trying it). ? Tony KE1TLG ?

Re: Factory reset... not working
I didnt set a root password, but I am also not the first owner of this radio. They may have changed it.

I am flashing it with 1.1.4 now. We will see what happens when I update that.?

Turning off the display has almost no effect on power consumption. Much more significant if BT/WiFi is disabled

Re: Factory reset... not working
" root, and password:123 will not allow me to login. Says denied."
I would bet that Factory Reset doesn't change/restore the user
passwords... Did you previously (intentionally) change the root
password? Maybe try that--

It happened to me too, but it got hot first and showed to be transmitting at 24 watts!? Luckily mine was under warranty and Radioddity sent a replacement
I know this is an old thread, but I am facing the same issues, no output power after first try for FT8.
I managed to made the first and only QSO, but then no transmission.
Afterwards, no output power in any mode with internal and handle microphone,
?
Everything is properly set in radio (or also in software for FT8, where there I have tx, click sound, tuning, tx etx properly working) but without any output power).
I have tried so far 1.1.6, 1.1.7 (the firmware that the radio came with from a SK, and the latest of September 2024). Any ideas/solutions software related? I am afraid that probably something is broken inside the transceiver. Many thanks in advance for any help.

Try short push of power button?
Is it possible to disable the display.
I hear many people complain about low battery life.
However a display is only really mandatory for initial tuning after that its less useful
Especially for digi modes where you tend to lock to a single frequency
