    Yes, OTA Updating is pretty convenient and the ALP is still running and defending while its downloading.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    I just completed loading my two ALP systems and received an unusual verbal warning: CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS.
    Both ALP systems have CPU Hardware Version 2.
    To two properly formatted USB Flash Drives (that I have used previously with no problems) I downloaded the new ALP Control Box F/W Update 5.2.5/6.8 - Uxxxxxxx.bin, for each individual system, also downloaded on to each flash drive: UCSTHIFI.BIN, VOICEPCK.ALP, CONFIG.ALP (with Profiles A/B/C).

    The updates to each system appeared to be progressing normally until almost completed, when the CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS warning was heard.

    The sequence of voice messages for each system was:
    Data Stored
    Firmware Updating
    Please Wait
    CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS
    Data Stored

    Both systems have previously had the "Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors" function performed. No sensors have been added or deleted. All 5 sensors on each car alert to my hand when placed near each sensor. When in the Yellow Menu, function #6 "Connected Sensors" states F3, F2, F1, R2, R1.

    Question: Should I go into the Yellow Menu, and perform function #5: Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors? Will this take care of the "CHECKSUM FAILED" problem? If I do perform another "Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors", will I have to reload my Configuration Profiles?

    Thanks for any advice concerning this CHECKSUM FAILED situation.

    Try doing the Restore Defaults, then reload your configuration. Also see if the firmware updated or not.

    If the firmware didn't update, the checksum error was probably due to a corrupt or incorrect firmware file. Try re-downloading and copying it to the USB drive again and see if it works.

    Is this a new install of an ALP? Have you registered your serial number yet? Perhaps the update server hasn't updated your firmware file yet.

    Thanks radargeek, I'll perform the Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors function, I didn't want to do it immediately in case the CHECKSUM FAILED problem was caused by something else. I'll also re-format and re-download all four files from the ALP Update website, on to my flash drives, then on to the systems.

    I'll also print a Statistic (STATS.ALP) file, which will have the device info and Profile settings on it. In the Yellow Menu, it did state that the firmware version was 5.2.5/6.8, which is the correct new firmware update.

    NOT a new install. Both ALP systems 1 year old. I have performed previous updates, since last year, with no problems, such as the CHECKSUM FAILED problem.

    Thanks again for your advice, radargeek. I'll post again after I complete another download to the flash drives, then to the systems. It's strange, I never received nor have I ever read anyone receiving a CHECKSUM FAILED warning.

    You need to load a new setup file since several setup options changed.

    Just did my OTA, no problem except I see that I also need to load a new setup file because my light is now flashing instead of on constant, Have be busy and have not had time to do Net radar install yet. Just want to get software loaded. I like to do install in steps, so if there is a problem it makes it easier to isolate the problem.

    Prior to my receiving a "CHECKSUM FAILED", I downloaded each newly generated file directly from the ALP Update website. (See my post above from 9:02 PM this evening) The Configuration file, with Profiles A/B/C, was also newly generated directly from the ALP website.

    My systems do NOT have the new Net radar antenna. All components of both ALP systems are exactly the same as they were for the last three or four Control Box updates.

    winterbrew.....did you also download ALL of your files directly from the ALP Update website? Or did you download only the new ALP Control Box firmware 5.2.5/6.8 file? Its interesting that we both had the same verbal warning, that I have never heard before.

    Does not matter. Just run a factory reset and load new configuration file and you will be good to go.
