Greetings,
I am having problems upgrading the firmware in my BR330T. I could really use some help.
INFORMATION:
Firmware Update Software: BC VUP v2.0.0.7
Firmware Version: 1.06.02
Previous Version: 1.03.xx (don't remember the last 2 digits, but it was the last firmware version for this scanner)
Computer O/S: Win XP
Interface: USB > to > Serial Bridge (with working drivers)
PROBLEM:
The update runs all the way through to the end (reaches 100% on the progress bar), then gives one of two different failure messages:
1) Programming Failure
2) Communications Failure
** both messages are followed by the obvious - check power to the scanner and comm cable ... both of which are solid connections.
Keep in mind, it does run ALL the way through the update process, then fails after the progress bar reaches 100%. It is communicating with the scanner. Just this past Sunday, using FreeScan and the Radio Ref DB, I reprogrammed the scanner with over 1700 new frequencies without any problems using the same equipment described above.
INSIGHT
I've been a computer tech for over 20 years - I know comm ports / baud rates / port addressing / interupts...etc. inside and out. I have attempted the lowest, middle and highest baud rates on the updates with the exact same results each time. I tried this from two different computers (both running XP) with the exact same results. On each computer I tried it from all of the USB ports (just to be sure) - same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as my scanner now has no brains and won't even turn on.
THANKS!
