AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[Tman]

Should be BLUE unless you selected Detection Only

Right Tom ,

in profile A it is blue , in B (detection only) it is more orange as opposed to yellow before...unless my eyes are cheating me

Ok so I uploaded the config file, the new firmware and the new voice set and it said something like checksum failed.

I then uploaded them one at a time and I think it works. Voice works (used a tester), firmware in settings tells me it's the latest version, and config file seems to work too.

Any other ways to check all is swell? Thanks

What's new in the config file? How do we check if we have the new one uploaded? (I had like 15 different versions b/c I was troubleshooting)

So apparently, the firmware updates first. Then it boots into the new firmware, and the checksum fails (maybe because each firmware version uses its own config file checksum?). Then it loads the config file from the USB stick and everything is fine from that point on. So although it sounds like something's wrong, everything's fine.

Correct. We will change the message in the future to something more calm like "Configuration File is out of date, restoring defaults" instead of Checksum error. The updates checks the checksum of the loaded file to see if its current and throws a Checksum error if the Checksum is not current but that error sounds much harsher than it really is.

BRD,
I recent uploaded the new software and downliaded the new ALP Connect app and now my system is almost unusable. After it loads up on the phone and I begin driving the first few alerts seem good, then my a phone app goes haywire on the phone...it goes into full ramp up alert mode and never comes down...unless i disengage and reengage the app. I cleared the app, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, deleted cache, etc...no good. The hardwired system has no issues... i am using rhe Samsung s7 edge with Android 7.0. Any thoughts or advice?

You need to be more specific? If you are referring to radar alerts and are using a M3 antenna there are some issues which are being patched next week. I run a Galaxy S7 Edge with my ALP and I have been running the latest release for over a month with no issues.

[prowler793]

yes, that is what i was referring to. i run an M3 antenna and may have missed in an earlier conversation. beyond theat, i have had no issues either. Thanks for the information.

Control Box firmware update 5.3.2/7.3

1. Fixed STiR radar antenna alerting issue from 5.3.1 firmware update
2. Green mode in PDC only profile and green mode in warm-up mode are now enabled when using Privacy USB-keylock. The insertion of a USB drive containing a privacy key would switch from green parking mode to defense active blue mode before this change.

What does this mean?

New english voicepack: "CRC cheksum failed" notice changed to "Configuration out of date. Restoring defaults"

I had that error before, but i'm not sure what the latter means. Am I OK if I just reupload the config file?

Any any more info on the privacy key feature? I don't recall where to read more on this.

It means the updated firmware requires a newer settings file and the firmware is defaulting your settings back to factory settings. You need to create and upload a new configuration file.
Don't use Privacy features unless you are in a banned area where you will be arrested for having a jammer. No where in the US would require the use of any of those functions so stay away from them as they are not reversible.
