I had been using the radio for a little while on 2M analog and DMR, and then put it in channel scan mode. It scanned normally for a few minutes and then froze up completely. The display showed only a channel number without the other information it would usually display for that channel.
It did not respond to any key or knob input, including turning the power/volume knob to the off position. I took out the battery for a few minutes and replaced it, but then the radio would not power on at all.
The cure was to do an MCU Reset by holding down the PTT and PF1 buttons together while turning the radio on, then confirming the reset. The radio booted up normally after that, and I was able to reload my boot image and codeplug from the CPS software.
