    Do you have the code to send any file to a serial port?

    What is a hex file? Does mean a non-text file that has bytes that can contain any of 256 values: 0x00 to 0xFF

    What class and what method are you using to send what you are sending?

    What is a hex file? Does mean a non-text file that has bytes that can contain any of 256 values: 0x00 to 0xFF
    If the file contains binary data, it can have a byte with any value including a line feed character.

    What is the name of the class you are using to write to the serial port with?
    Does it have methods for writing bytes?

    What is 2 b?
    Please use English.

    There is no Java SE class: outputstream. Java is case sensitive and all classes start with a uppercase letter.

    Can you explain what the problem is when you write the contents of a file? Your descriptions have been vague.
    Post the code you are using to write the file and the code you are using to read the file.
