Taranis Q X7 Access Out of Box Config needed

I own a Taranis QX7 Access where I have made a lot of changes to model and radio setting while learning, troubleshooting, and tuning, and when I tried to perform a Factory Reset I found that is not a option. When I do a firmware flash, I see radio configurations which remain.

How do I go about getting a factory reset of all the radio settings? I have some how messed up the audio which now turns off when a flip a switch. The 4 control orders are changed. So now my controls dont match the TAER or TARE order.

Does anyone have a QX7 (Mode 2) with a "Out of the Box" setup which a config file be created from?

After I apply the config, I can delete the remaining models and retry binding to my 2 Armattans which have R-XSR receivers.
 
Holtneil,
I have looked at alot of those. Unfortantly, the radio I dont have (unlike the prior version) does not have the ability. I would be happy to share pictures as compared to some of those videos I have watched several times in the last year. There are some hacks where you have to remove files, but the are hacks and not a clean reset to default out of box.

As I said to someone else.

He had commented on installing the original old firmware as what he assumed my request was about.....
This is not about getting back to when I bought it as that would not be smart unless it was believe that a string of firmware updates corrupted the current flash (Assuming that was possible, which we know isnt). We also know that assuming a successful flash of current software will wipe out the existing which is why its not possible for the most part.​
​
This is about the settings which DONT change due to firmware flash. And reverting them to the defaults as it would have been purchased. And I did not purchase with models added already.​
​
This is a hobby of customization. And sometimes you do so much, such as when learning, that you need to reset all values to default.​
​
That is what I wish the Firmware flashing had a option to do. Write the new firmware and reset the radio to default values including wiping all models out. AKA Out of the Box (with current firmware) as if it was to be sold now and not 3 yrs ago (safe to assume the radio sold now have a newer firmware than the same radio 3 yrs ago).​
​
Thanks,
John
 
OMG, the solution makes no sense…

Please keep in mind, we are talking about Factory Reset. Per the demo in this video for the QX7S
How to Reset Taranis Q X7S radio to Factory Default Settings

On the 5th page of the Radio Menu which is titled "Version", displayed very clearly is "[Menu Long] Factory Rest" (no scrolling). This makes sense.

In a last act of desperation, I called FrSky America in CA. I was just told that on Page 6 "Hardware" where stick calibration and switch & pot information is located as well as stuff like Bluetooth and other communication information is found, SCROLL to the very BOTTOM (aka not in the view of the user at the very top) is the [Factory Reset] option where this radio is set to Out of Box.

I was laughing as the person was telling me this as I was walking thru it as he was telling me this. I provided feedback that the location of the QX7S makes sense and would be my “Feature Add” request that this be located to match the QX7S. Further more, I left a suggestion that during firmware flashing there should be an option to select for Factory Reset of all default setting values. I was very happy and said thank you to him for his assistance.

Thanks
John
