Updating firmware on Xbee

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade the firmware on my Xbee series 1 from maxstream. They come with ftdi usb boards so that I can connect them to PC. I use X-Ctu to set parameters currently.

My model specs when I read the config is - XB-24, Version 1084. I want to upgrade to 10A1 so that I can set the Max number of retries.

When I try to update the firmware it ,pops up a message on ‘setting AT parameters’ step and asks me to reset. I try to do that by taking out the rf module and reinserting but the message doesnt go away and it just gets stuck there.

Any pointers on what to do?.

Did you try grounding the RESET, pin 5?
