Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP Doesn't Work
… Just to be clear, I have tried every Baofeng model currently listed in CHIRP and can't get it to work.
Yet thousands are successfully using CHIRP daily …
After reading the extensive FAQ and Wiki Help information, most “problems” are solved.

Clint, Which aspect does not work for you? Can you download from a radio? That is step one. Is it that you cannot then upload? What errors do you get, and what is the operating system?

Usually when I see this, it's a Windows machine and a cheap Chinese data cable with a Prolific chipset that requires jumping through hoops to work.
These cheap cables work perfectly on Linux. (I'm not sure if they're a problem on OS X/Mac.)
Make sure you're getting a COM port assignment for your data cable. If you're not, and you have a friend with a Linux computer (or you're willing to boot yours with a live distribution, which won't affect your existing Windows installation), you can test that the cable works on Linux and gets a ttyUSBx identifier.

One thing that helped me was to make sure all drivers were updated in Windows Device Manager. There were serial devices that needed to be updated for Chirp to work for me.

The trouble with Windows updating drivers come in with programming cables that have fake Prolific chips in them. The latest drivers cause those cables to not work. If Device Manager shows the cable to be a Prolific cable, try rolling back the driver to 3.2.0.0. This driver can be found at Miklor Radio Information Site - Miklor
