What happens if you do a master reset and RAM clear, then radio off and on?

What firmware does it show on boot up?

Curses, foiled again!

I am now able to download the file (v. 2.064) from the wiki site (thanks
again) and then use the update utility to load it to the radio. After
loading all the lines of code, the installer utility declares that the file
was successfully installed and the radio displays "SYSTEM LOADING" as it
should. Then it asks me about resetting filters and clearing memories. But
no matter how I answer either question it momentarily displays "SYSTEM
LOADING" again and then asks the questions again. It repeats all this cycle
and never gets to the operational mode where it displays 14.250.

I was able to install this version back when it first was released, but had
the same problem.  I remember I had to repeat several installs before it
magically worked for some reason. So far, I haven't been so lucky this time.

In comparison, both of the previous two versions (2.062 and 2.063) load
correctly with no issues. 

I read a couple of posts where it was suggested that the memory battery
might be low which could affect the bootup. My snaphat memory battery reads
3.1 V which indicates to me that it was probably replaced when the factory
performed the v. 2 upgrade.

Lastly, when I do a "verify program", the update utility indicates that the
load is correct and successfully installed.

Any ideas about why one version would install and one not?
