My recollection is that during the operation where you change the virtual
jumpers, you must change only the jumpers. No changes to any memories or
settings. Do your upload with the new jumpers.

Now that the jumpers have changed, you cannot use your old img files.
Download a new img from the radio. Now you can import your old memories
into the new img, but not use it directly.

Other Yaesu radios were written with different (more specific) model
detection and will not detect the model after the jumpers change. The VX5
model detection is broader and doesn't take the jumper position into
account, which is why you need to manually track which img files match the
current jumper positions.
