Series Portables R02. MPT1327 GOB CPS R02.00.04 R2.X Connect Plus. System Release R2.9.0 Motorola Solutions Page 10 of 29. The latest, “safest” firmware is R02. I manage a Customer fleet of over 1200 XPR 5550 (with a decent mix of K/W/R indexes) with zero issues on that firmware; after you learn CPS 2.0 it isn’t much of an an issue. I will say that transitioning from 16.0 to 2.0 was a multi-week learning process.

Updating to the latest firmware is a must. It contains some important bug fixes and keeps your radio up to date. The latest FW contains new features, extended programming options and occasionally, fixes to bugs. CPS 2.0 is now the recommended customer programming software for Motorola MOTOTRBO two way radios.

Tip: It is recommended you read this article until the bottom of the article.

Motorola MOTOTRBO CPS 2.0 Programming Software

The latest version of MOTOTRBO CPS (Customer Programming Software) is CPS 2.0. We know that’s confusing because the old version is verison 16, right? Sort of. The previous version was V1 R16.0 Build 828. So it was actually version 1. Here’s a quick look at what you will see when you first open the MOTOTRBO CPS 2.0 programming software – a blank page with nothing to program or see.

In order to program or configure your radio, you will need to “read” your radio or open a programming file (also known as a code plug).

Motorola MOTOTRBO CPS 2.0 & Firmware Current Version

The table below contains the current Motorola MOTOTRBO CPS 2.0 version as well as the respective versions of MOTOTRBO 2.0 firmware.

Increment Error

Whilst we mention below (scroll down) that you need to be on the latest version 1, it turns out that an incremental update is now required R2.09.00.0001 to R2.10.09.0001, then R2.10.09.0001 to R2.10.10.x.

No Entitlement Error

If you receive a #110183 error that reads as the quote below, this means your device cannot be upgraded to R02.20.x and the newest version that it will be able to support is R02.10.x.

This has become so much of a problem, we have the following article that’s an MTM (Motorola Solutions Technical Notification): https://www.radiotronics.co.uk/blog/2021/02/motorola-solutions-mtn-0110-20-na/

[#110183] The Software Update Management police enabled on this device has expired and is not entitiled to be updated to the specified firmware version. Please contact a Motorola Solutions sales representitive for more information.

This is a great video that demonstrates various functions of CPS 2.0.

NOTE: Hidden Cotcha – Must Be On Latest V1.0 Firmware

Your MOTOTRBO radio MUST be on the latest version of 1.0 firmware to be able to upgrade to 2.0 firmware. That means that you cannot upgrade a DP4400 on really old firmware to 2.0 firmware without first updating it to the 1.0 latest firmware.

Note: If you have obtained the latest 2.0 firmware from us within the last 14 days and you need the old version 16 to get to 2.0, we will provide version 16 firmware free. Not outside 14-days.

The Current CPS 1.0 Subversion 16.x Version

Bearing in mind you will need CPS 1.0 subversion R16.8 to upgrade your old radios to the latest version of v1 firmware, you will also need CPS 1.0 subversion R16.8 and the firmware that corresponds to your radio.

CPS 2.0 Speed Issue

If you are having speed issues, this has been fixed in R2.26.203.0 version.

We have written an article on speeding up CPS 2.0 which is no longer relevant as of CPS 2.0 version R2.26.203.0.
