Hello,

i am trying to recover my XBEE s1 Pro via the latest XCTU but i am getting the following messages:

- Looking for active bootloader… [ERROR]  
There is not an active bootloader in the module.
- Resetting and entering bootloader… [ERROR]  
There is not an active bootloader in the module.

I tried an older version of the XCTU but nothing changed.

I am connecting to the pc via an waspmote gateway board.

Could you help me please.

The Waspmote board may not provide direct access from the PC to the module. I would suggest using an XBIB-U or similar development board.
