HT 1250 brick

I have a modest knowledge of programming, but does anyone have an answer why the HT1250's short circut and revert to the error "EEPRM CS ERROR" when you are trying to clone it? I even tried to reprogram it after it turned into a brick on me, with its orginal codeplug, but it only spits errors at me. Back to the /\/\ depot I guess. This would be #3 in less than a year. Good thing I have a deep radio repair budget. any ideas?

that cps don't have a clone section, but it'll overwrite with matching numbers. if you have that error you can usually bring it back if you keep trying to write back to it. make shure your rib has good power and the battery on the radio is charged.

Your correct, I am speaking out of context, I usually program a portable for one truck, with about 70 MDC id's and just change the MDC ID I am transmitting. Is this wrong to do? Its a pain in the butt to enter all those ids for 6 portables a truck.

Thanks for the advice...I will sit here and attempt to force the old codeplug into it. Have to go hunt down a fresh 9v.

Tried writing to it about 20 times, keeps giving me "The device is not supported by this application" Brand new battery in rib, fully charged ht battery, I think its laughing at me too...

I may beg to differ. I had thought I bricked mine a while back because I used a $h!ty cable. The one day I tried to program it with a RIBLESS factory cable, it came back to life.

Good Luck JOHN

ya, i'd try a different cable or rib or ribless cable before i had to send it back. 9/10 times you can get it working again.

Isn't there an SRN for this related to radios with the newer style case having the brass insert that the accessories screw into touching the main board and causing the EEMPRM CS ERROR? I did a quick search on MOL and couldn't find it but I have the bulletin at work.

Tried a different RIB, also a ribless cable, still a paperweight. How do I find this US Waris upgrade kit?

if you can't get it back to life by trying to keep writing the codeplug to it then you're gonna have to send it back to motorola. when you run the firmware upgrade the first thing it does is read the radio, and yours won't read so it's not going to work. i know people have tried to trick the upgrade with 2 different radios but i'd just send it in for repair.

Try opening your codeplug with a previous version of CPS and write it back to the radio. I've saved a few that way.

I've recently have had a couple radios come back with the EEPROM CS ERROR, and I was unable to rewrite to save them (giving me a "hardware unsupported" message.)

I was using the latest CPS, but when someone tried the same thing with an older CPS version, they were able to rewrite the radio fine... *shrug*

I had this same issue last week on a CDM1250. I was running 06.06.00, reverted back to 06.04.00 and bam, problem solved. Boggles my mind, but I chalked it up to an unknown bug in 06.06.00
