XG-100M won't keyload

[tweiss3]

I have a XG-100M/CH721 that refuses to keyload. KFD Shield has no problem loading the 100P with the same keys. I have a OEM 14002-0143-10 REV2249 cable that was modified from the MX connector to Hirose. I go to Keyload - KVL and hit menu, the radio just sits "Idle". I can't read or load any key information. Below is the firmware versions read out just now.



Obviously, the firmware update on the mobile is a bit different than the portable, so I didn't go monkeying around there, afraid to brick it.
I have firmwares: 100M XLP R06T02, CH271 Main R07G17, DES-CFB R04B03 & HALM R04A01

I'm not even sure if firmware reflashes would do anything. Any help will be great. I do have 35, 37 & 45 in the feature set, so I "should" be good to go.

I've never been able to keyload a 100M except with Harris KeyAdmin and a DB9 programming cable.

That's discouraging. Even with the OEM cable and a real KVL?

After spending too much time reading this morning, I'll dig into the mission plan and make sure there isn't something stupid turned off.

The OEM cable for the XG series of mobiles is a level converter and is very hard to find. If you do find one, expect to pay hundreds of dollars for it.

I did purchase the OEM XG Keyloading Cable, and yes, it was rather expensive, more than I would have liked to pay if it's not going to work.

To confirm you do have the correct AES/DES software modules installed as well as the proper features enabled in the feature string?

 

[tweiss3]

Feature code has 37 AES and 45 DES, firmware version is readable for both AES & DES.

What about software modules and revisions. do they show up when reading the radio?

1st post is what I got from RPM

ECP R06T02
OTP N/A
MCU No Response
VRB N/A
CH721 Main R07.16
RHHC N/A
AES 4.01
DES 4.03

The MCU no response has me confused, I'm not sure if that's a problem or not. All other features operate as expected when used. I also found in the mission plan that OTAP was off (turned on for good measure) and under Digital Voice Options, Max Key Bank was the default 0, will be revised to 2 for testing.
