CDM 1550 EPROM CS Error HELP!

Post by K8COP »

Was programming up an older CDM 1550 today using a wirless rib after market cable. During the programing cycle, I got the above error. Could not get the unit to reprogram. Is it restorable?

Any ideas other than sending it back to Motorola?

I did a search for this topic and could not come up with anything.

Thanks,

Jim

I heard the latest CPS can restore this, can anyone confirm?

Just tried it....YES it works. You just do a normal download from the radio to the computer and a pop-up screen comes up, and asks you what you want to do. I just restored it to the normal factory radio. Checked the functions on the radio and all worked OK.

Reload my codeplug that I had saved and everything is back to normal. Thanks for the advise. I was not aware of the new cps verison.

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!

What version CPS were you using? I have 06.10.02 and I didn't get the window popping up you had. I am having the same error come up for my radio.

Ok I seen in some other threads people speak of a window popping up in the cps when the EPROM CS ERROR comes up asking you what you want to do. I have cps 06.10.02 and mine isn't doing anything like that. Infact my unit isn't doing anything at all. I have also heard forcing the old codeplug into it several times until it takes it would work too but no suck luck with mine. When I go to read the unit it won't. Any ideas?

Thats because you need CPS R06.11.05 or higher..

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.
