xbee s6b turned into a brick after an update

Question

I updated my xbee s6b with X-CTU, and it's not working anymore after that. I cant read or write parameters, i just can write/update firmware again, clicking option "Always update firmware", but after a successful update it continues with same behavior. XCTU is showing me next comments after trying to write parameter with such option:
"
Getting modem type....Programming modem...OK
Failed to enter command mode
Found bootloader active reprogramming firmware.
Write Parameters...Failed
"
Any idea? Firmware to update is wrong?

Answer 1

Sounds like the baudrate changed? Probably defaulted?
Go back to the PC Settings tab and keep doing the test/query on the different baudrates to see if it works?

Answer 2

I got a similar error when I was doing an update but a reset/power cycle solved the problem.

Answer 3

I can update every try, keeping reset signal of my x-bee development board, and leaving after trying to read/write parameters but always reading/writing parameters process fails.
I tried every baudrate speed and it's not working anyway. it's look like always is waiting in bootloader ...
Working with x-bee S6BSM, XB2B-WF set, and XBee Wi-Fi (S6B) Development Kit

Any other idea?

Thanks a lot

I had a few XBees that it would let me set the firmware but none of the AT parameters. I ended up declaring them dead unfortunately..
