So my friend has an MT1500 and he went to upgrade the firmware however he flashed the xts2500 firmware R20.xx.xx into the radio. He unfortunately bricked it but to make matters worse he uploaded the wrong codeplug into the radio as well. He uploaded a BN codeplug to an AN radio. Is there any way to reverse this (by flashing R09.xx.xx back into the radio for example) or is the radio now a paper weight? Thanks

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

It’s that the Firmware that was for it?

I didn't think CPS would allow you to make those types of mistakes?
I love Depot stories, this is why people should not mess with it unless you are 100 % on what you are doing. If the radio will still communicate with the pc try and flash it back to its original configuration, but I'd the pc cannot communicate with the radio you maybe SOL. There are tools other than depot that may fix it but they are far more advanced and dangerous than depot also they are harder to find on the wild. Trying to return it to its original model and firmware would be your best bet at restoring it.

The only problem is that he doesn't have the firmware for R09.xx.xx
I think you got your answer here: http://www.austech.info/showthread.php/111868-Invalid-Firmware-MT1500
Playing with Depot is something we don't discuss here. Sorry.
