Firmware upgrade on XTS5000 W7

Post by alannerd614 »

Good evening to all,

I am trying to upgrade the firmware of an XTS5000 W7.

I have the firmware file, CPS, and cable (obviously) I have Firmware Vs 10 & 11.

The radio has firmware 3.00.00.

When I try and go "upgrade radio" then select the file, it always comes back and says that I dont have a flash key in.

Obviously I am not trying to flash it, only upgrade the firmware.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

You still need a flashkey plugged in. In your case, you would need a re-fresh I-button flashkey plugged in...

Stupidity creates job security!

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

Heh, yep, I simply forgot.


Mods, you can lock this one if you so desire.
