CPS out of date?

[PropellorHead]

So I've been programming my XTS-5000 M3 with CPS version 12.00.00 software. Today, I upgraded my XTS firmware to Host: 12.00.17 / DSP: 12.00.05 and obviously, in true Moto style, my CPS no longer works (trying to read) with this firmware version. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks in advance guys.

That firmware version has nothing to do with why you can't read the radio.. If CPS R12 wont read it now, then you either did the upgrade with CPS R13, or wrote to the radio at some point with CPS R13. The CPS is the only thing that will change the codeplug version. CPS R12 uses codeplug version 17, while CPS R13 uses codeplug version 19.

The CPS updates the codeplug version during a write or firmware upgrade. But the firmware cvn file itself does not alter the codeplug version. You can take a radio with host R10 lets say, and upgrade it with a host R12 firmware cvn using CPS R13.. The radio now becomes a R13 codeplug version with host 12. Just an example..

So my theory was that I could write a saved v.12 codeplug back to the radio, but that didn't work.

Nope, not going to work. The CPS checks the current codeplug version before the write.. It will see a newer version in the radio and not write the old codeplug.
