CPS 17.01.02 and older versions of firmware

Post by dcgg »

Has anyone tried reading an XTS5000 with an older version of firmware, in this case vintage R12, make a change and upload the change to the radio, then find that the radio is now showing the dreaded 01/82 error ? I have had this happen with 3 different radios and 2 very different computers. Both computers work perfectly fine when programming one with R17 firmware. The only I could recover it was to use FlashZap, because the regular CPS could no longer communicate with the radio.

What version R17 firmware were you using? 17.00.00 was a known problem child that nuked a lot of radios regardless of CPS used.

The firmware in the radio was an R12 series. I am using the latest 17.01.02 that caused the bricking. After reading the radio, making a change and programming it, the radio would come up with the 01/82. At that point most atempts to try and push the original codeplug or even read the radio would fail. At some point , while trying to read the radio, a
"NexGen 10" error would come up. These messages are related to firmware/software mismatch issues.

My immediate reaction is that this is why it's never a good idea to rush to the latest version of firmware or CPS from Motorola.

So what's the flashcode in the radios?

So at this point it seems there is no alternative, everything since 17 has been a problem.

FWIW I went thru the same when upgrading firmware, and FW19 brought it back (but I can't get it to actually upgrade the radio FW, just the heads).

So just stay at CPS 15.00.00? There have been so many CPS upgrade issues and debates around 16/17/18 that I've lost track of what's good and what's not...
