Radio Firmware update fails

Im having an issue on my MP70 LTE-A PRO, trying to update the Radio Firmware.

The MP70 is running the latest firmware 4.18.1

error states that the Check Failed, could not find signature or certificate in the package.

Hi @bayardo.lopezpineda,

  1. Could you please provide a screenshot of the ‘Check Failed, could not find signature or certificate in the package’ error message?
  2. Which firmware package are you using to update the Radio Firmware, and did you download it from the Sierra Source page?
  3. Could you please get the log and template log by the instructions and send me:
  • The configuration template file is in ACEmanager → Template, provide any name you desire for the Template Name, and then press Download to retrieve the template file.
  • Collect logs procedure:
    a. Go AceManager > Admin > Configure Logging
    Set all log levels to DEFAULT (NOTICE)
    Set Linux Syslog to DISPLAY
    b. Reboot the gateway.
    c. Perform your test again.
    d. Go Admin → View log → Download Logs.

Thanks,

Hi @bayardo.lopezpineda,

Could you please answer these questions below to investigate this issue?

  1. Could you please provide a screenshot of the ACE Manager: Admin > Radio Module Firmware?
  2. Did you follow the instructions on section Updating Only the Radio Module Firmware on https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airlink/software_reference_docs/airlink-mp-series---configuration-guide/#sthash.64siUc7v.dpbs. If not, please try to do it and share the result with me.

Thanks,

You can close this ticket,
I just had to re-apply the modem firmware and then it prompted me to apply radio fw. after i did it that way it upgraded without issues.
on the old GX modems I could just apply the radio fw without having to re-apply modem fw.
