XTS5000 Firmware Upflift Error

Post by CTAMontrose »

Ive got an XTS5000 here thats being a pain to uplift, it originally had 4.x in it, and i uplifted it to 11 without issue. I am trying to uplift it to 11.00.03 and i receive the following error:

"Failed to enter test mode"

I have verifed the programming / flashing setup as i can flash its twin just fine, i can also read and write the radio just fine as well on this same setup.

any ideas?

UPDATE: it did it on a serial cable as well, and it wouldnt even allow Tuner to run...

SOLUTION: the flex had come loose, took the radio apart and reseated it and now it uplifted and was able to align it just fine.


hope this helps someone else with the same error
