  1. Hi guys,
    I have bought SIM900A modules. My module details after AT+GSV command are:

    SIMCOM_Ltd
    SIMCOM_SIM900A
    Revision:1137B03SIM900A128_32_SPANSION_TTS

    I would like to use them in Europe (Poland). I have tried software called 1137B06SIM900M128 32 SPANSION TTS ITALIAN from this website but Customer flash loader (CFL) says: “ERROR The cla flile doesn not match the Target ..”

    I know from CFL v1.8 that my flash details are:
    Manufacturer: Spansion
    Flash Man ID: 0x01
    Flash Dev ID: 0x007E
    Flash Ext ID1: 0x0063
    Flash Ext ID2: 0x0001

    I need firmware for that kind of flash to use in Europe. Has anyone got it?
    Greetings

  3. Hello,
    I have GSM SIM900 module written on it:

    S2-1040S-Z090S
    SN: MP0610502102077.

    Is it 32Bit or 64bit, how to recognise? What firmware 1137BXXSIM900A(or M or D)32 (or 64)_ST or enhance to use?
    Please I need help.
    Thanks,
    Nesa

    1. Is it 32Bit or 64bit, how to recognise?

      Your best bet would be to check the existing firmware version, From that you can know the 32 or 64.
      For SIM900 you will use the M prefix. D is for SIM900D. ST is standard firmware and Enhance is the one with DTMF and other extra features. I prefer enhance if available

  4. Hello,
    I have GSM SIM900 module with mark:
    S2-1040S-Z090S on it. How to determine is it 32 or 64 bit module? I did flashing with
    1137B106SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE firmware. Which firmware should I use …32 or 64 bit?

    Thanks,
    Nesa

  5. assalamu’alaikum Mr. Dost Muhammad
    I have several sim7100c and sim7100ce. As far as I know, sim7100 can support 3G networks on 900MHz and 2100MHz frequencies.But I’m having a little problem, using the same sim card that supports 3G 900Mhz networks, Sim7100C can be registered on a 900Mhz 3G network but sim7100CE can’t.Conversely, using another card that supports the 2100Mhz 3G network, Sim7100CE can be registered at 2100Mhz but Sim7100C cannot.
    What/s the solution ?
    Thank you very much

  6. hello i have a sim 900 a module v5.1 version im conecting it with TMFT 2.6 i see the hex string(i refer the …) but it is not respondig to any outer comand. sending AT comand nothing. do you have any idea what am i doing wrong?

  7. Assalam Alaykum Dost

    i have both sim 800L and sim 808, working pretty fine with Arduino boards for sms/http protocols BUT i want to drop out external mcu (Arduino) and use internal one – Embedded AT , unluckily i don’t know where to start

    i have all the required files , from links above , , demo_examples , i can’t test them because i am stuck..i excel in c programming

    if you could direct me what to do like, pasting the demo_examples to IDE , compile it, burn it, hardware connection , etc , would be greatly appreciated .. Thank You

    note: simcom refused to offer me a help regarding the issue, they do that to their big clients

    1. sorry for the delay in response.

      Please follow the documents in the docs section of the files you got and they are straight forward you don’t require IDE. You will need to use the RVCT_EAT compiler which will be provided in the same package

  8. Is it possible to use SIM900A GPIO to control relays without using external MCU?

      1. in sim900a we have arm processor and we have some GPIO Pins right . i have to enable that gpio pins as a intput and output. thqs.

  9. which 32bit firmware supports AT+CIPGSMLOC command in sim900a??

    i have 1137B11SIM900A32_ST firmware

    at commands:
    at
    ok

    at+sapbr=3,1,”Contype”,”GPRS”
    ok
    at+sapbr=3,1,”APN”,”WWW” (vodafone)
    ok

    at+sapbr=1,1
    ok

    at+sapbr=2,1
    it gives ip address

    at+cipgsmloc=1,1
    error

  10. Hi !

    Any idea where to get firmware that matches my

    SIMCOM_SIM900A; Revision:1137B01SIM900A64_SPANSION_EAT

    as after an uneventful (normal) upgrading to register to European network, it kind of “crashed” now only reacting to power on/off and allowing re-trying flashing…

    Now, I’ve later learned that my chip has memory by SPANSION, which requires a specific firmware version.

    And, that’s what I’m now looking for.

  11. Hi,
    I have the module SIM900A S2-1040W-Z09W, I tried uploading FW, but he still does not want to read my EU sim card,
    Last uploaded FW:

    AT+CGMR

    Revision:1137B09SIM900B32_ST

    OK

    thank you in advance for your help

  12. Assalam O Alikum Dost Muhammad

    i have sim900A and i want to decode DTMF tones but i did not find any firmware for SIM900A to decode DTMF tones.

    Did any have firmware for SIM900A that can decode DTMF tone
    and can i use SIM900 firmware in SIM900A like this one (SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS)
    Thanks

      1. Hi thanks for the quick response
        In the start i also think the same it might support DTMF decoding but when i try these command its giving me error

        AT

        OK

        AT+DDET?

        ERROR
        AT+DDET=?

        ERROR
        AT+DDET=1

        ERROR
        AT+DDET=2

        ERROR
        AT+DDET=3

        ERROR

        i just stuck in my project and i have very few days left i don’t know what to do.
        only final solution that i am thing is to test SIM900 firmware in SIM900A

        1. AT_DDET just use to enable DTMF detection.
          i think you need to transmit theDTMF code?
          to transmite DTMF code you can use AT+VTS=n
          that n is Ascii code like as 0~9

          1. i want to decode or detect DTMF not transmit.
            DTMF transmission is fine.
            Transmission is simple.
            AT+VTS=n
            where n can be (0-9), #,*,(A-D)

            i need to decode DTMF with my SIM900A any help will be appreciated
            Thanks

          2. for DTMF detection you must just Enable DTMF detection by using AT+DDET=1
            if the module don’t accept it you must upgrade your firmware to ENHANCE version or ST_DTMF_JD_MMS version.

          3. AT+DDET=1 the module don’t accept it
            what firmware version should i have to use in SIM900A so the it can accept AT+DDET
            thanks

      1. I did it that to Dost Muhammad And Amir Razavi

        i implemented my final solution
        installed SIM900 firmware in SIM900A and all DTMF tone detection are fine now.
        AT+DDET=1
        and receiving all the tones.
        from 0-9 *,# did not checked A-D

        i will help if any have issue regards to dtmf tone detection using GSM module or without GSM module.
        Thanks

        1. HI,
          I’m using SIM900A, How to get DTMF tone, In what process you get it,
          Anybody suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks.

          1. What do you mean by “get a DTMF tone”?.

            During a call if the other party sends a DTMF signal for the key ‘3’ the module will send a URC in the form of +DTMF: 3

          2. What do you mean by “get a DTMF tone”?.

            During a call, if the other party sends a DTMF signal for the key ‘3’ the module will send a URC in the form of +DTMF: 3

  13. Hi guys

    does any body know about other parameter of AT+DDET command?

    AT+DDET=1

    >>OK

    AT+DDET?

    >>+DDET: 1,5,300,0,200,224,0

    OK

    Thanks

      1. Thanks
        i couldn’t found any newer version SIM900_DDET_Application Note_V1.02.
        what is this version and could you send it please?

        1. Could you help me please Muhammad?
          i couldn’t found any newer version SIM900_DDET_Application Note_V1.02.

  14. Hi dear brother

    I’m using SIM900 for 4years in a math product(over 5000module) with firmware version : 1137B08SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS

    but i founded new problem : the module reset when it received an unsolicited code(+CMT:…..)!!!

    At fisrt i tried to discard it by using AT+CNMI=1,0,0,0,0 command but the problem didn’t solved.

    I upgraded the firmware to 1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE version.
    the problem solved and the module didn’t reset but i found new problem.

    when i enable the the DTMF detection by using AT+DDET=1 the module didn’t detect DTMF code 4,5 in case of with old version it worked correctly !!!

    its very strange . it can detect all DTMF code except +DTMF:4 and +DTMF:5 !!!
    I also use AT+SIDET=0,0 to increase the chance but it didn’t work.

    please help me.
    Thanks alot

    1. I have been using SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE version as well as SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS version on sim900 and didnt face any problem with the DTMF for key 4 and 5. Can you Try another _Enhance version?

      1. its very strange but really have problem just with key 4 and 5.when i have a call from telephone(Line) there is any problem but when the call is from any mobile cell this problem occur.
        I tested with more than 10 module and all of them have this problem.

        I think 1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE is final version. is there any ENHANCE newer version?

        1. Could you help me please Muhammad?
          Is 1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE is final version. is there any ENHANCE newer version?

          i couldn’t resolve my problem yet about detection of Key 4 and 5 !!!!

  15. I want to edit the firmware of SIM900 so what are the software i have to download?plse help

  16. Hey,

    What should I do it if flash uploader shows the message Power Up the target? I tried connecting RESET pin to GND for a while – nothing happened.

  17. Hi Sir,

    I need help with +HTTPACTION:0,601,0 problem

    My Seedstudio Sim900 board came originally with 1137B13SIM900M64_ST firmware. There was no HTTPS support so I flashed my module with SIMCOM_SIM900
    Revision:1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE firmware with help from your site. Thank you very much by the way. Now while trying to connect using HTTPS I get the above error (Network error according to command manual). all HTTP requests are successful though when I disable HTTPS. From what I’ve been hearing after searching online for a solution is that this could be a redirect. Others say after putting a bit more credit/data on sim card it works. If the problem is network related why are http requests working? Also when I put the sim card in my phone I can browse https sites. Should I try a different ‘enhance’ firmware or is it a URL problem? When I try to intentionally put a bad URL I get a different error – 603 (DNS Error), which is correct. Can HTTPS work on my phone bowser but not on the sim900 module, or is there a step I’m missing? Please advise.

          Can you please share your workout for https if you have got success? I have started working on similar kind of project.

  18. Hello, I am trying to update a SIM 868 from version 1418B01SIM868M32 to 1418B01SIM868M32_BT. I am using the simcom series download tool customer but in the window of the target, does not appear SIM868M…si I cannot update it. Do you know any solution? Thanks!

      1. Hi Javier; do you know where to download the bluetooth firmware 1418B01SIM868M32_BT
        you need to use simcom series download tools customer 1.14

  19. Hi.
    I have SIMCOM 900 Module (S2-1040S-Z1K0K) (Serial #: MP0615112442952).
    I am having difficulty to register this modem to a custom-made network (i.e. a BTS).
    Also, I need my GSM shield to receive a Cell Broadcast message (CB).
    Anyone has any suggestions about preferred firmware that I can install and upload so my modem can register and receive CM message.
    Thank you

  20. Hi. I bought SIM900 module. I’m trying to send an email with attachment (jpg, bmp files) through SMTP. I receive email but file is corrupted. After few research, I found out that SIM900 automatically adds CR(carriage return) and LF(line feed) to the file. That causes the corruption of file. How I may fix this problem? Is there any AT command to stop this? Please help.

            2) "AT+SAPBR=1,1\r"

            After AT+SMTPFT command I send binary data to SIM900. I keep sending 1000 bytes, at the end of file I send remaining bytes.

            16)"AT+SMTPFT=0\r" // no more data, finish.

            I did everything according to the SIM900 Email manual. I also updated firmware to latest one. I don’t know why SIM900 automatically adds bytes (0x0D and 0x0A) to attachment.

  21. hi There, I have SIM800L and when I run AT+CGMR I get, Revision:1418B02SIM800L24

    I was trying to update to 1308B09SIM800L16 but I get following error https://s16.postimg.org/v60lh265h/ERROR.png

    I have tried few different version of SIM800L I found and I also tried to set the tool to SIM800 as target still get same error.

    Another question I have it, is there SIM800L EAT firmware available ?

    Thank you

    1. Found out that this module uses a 32MB firmware, 1137B08SIM900A32 ST

      So anyone have a sim900 32mb version firmware so I can unlock this? have 4 just laying usless waiting….

        1. Yes I can confirm that 1137B09SIM900B32_ST works and I now have 4 unlocked Sim900A S2-1040W running as unlocked (works in Sweden) 900B units.

  24. sir ,
    firstly thank you very much for uploading these firmware versions
    and sir i am trying to send a MMS using Sim900A using firmware version 1137B07SIM900A32_ST
    but getting error from very first command , every else command and function is working properly
    please tell me which firmware should i use for sending MMS.
    Thank you

          1. and sir mine is 32 type of module so it does not support 64 type firmware versions , so can i use sim 900B or D or Sim 900 for firmwares for my sim900A

          2. Sir which firmware should i use there is no firmware of type 32 which has
            enhance or MMS in its name.

  25. Hi dear Dost Muhammad Shah ! is it possible to set 300 baudrate for USART? i read datasheet there was wroten minimum baudrate is 1200. please help me if you have any idea(Is this possible to write my own embedded AT( i mean write my own software with RTOS)

  26. the board,s2-1040v-z096x, s/n:mp0615222364212.it working well with terminal software but when i interface it with arduino its not giving response.please suggest me what to do…its very very urgent my project deadline is on 16 aug.please replay me on time..my email id is yrajkishor19@gmail.com

  27. HI dear Muhammad! I have a problem with SPI on sim900 module. When i compile and download spi sample there is no information on SPI CLK and MOSI pins(i chekced with oscilloscope). i’m using 1137B02V01SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_EAT.cla firmware. Please help! i have spent two weeks on it without result( sorry for my poor english).Thank you

      1. //Initialization
        ebdat5_21EnhanceSpiConfigure(SSI_SLAVE0,SSI_3WIRE,SSI_SYSTEM_DIV_64,SSI_FALLING_EDGE,SSI_MSBFIRST);
        //Write byte
        ebdat5_22EnhanceSpiWriteByte( SSI_SLAVE0, 0x30);

          1. yes of course i compiled and flashed both spi and spiEnhance examples but there is no result?

          2. Thank you i solve the problem with change sim900 module to other one! And know everyting is ok

  28. Hello Dost, I’d like to ask you an advice on a SIM800C module. The CIPGSMLOC command gives me a well defined position (even too defined since it’s stable at the 6th decimal number), almost 1000Km far away from where I’m transmitting. In the examples I found over the net I see always position around Paris, like the one I get (+CIPGSMLOC: 0,2.333626,48.802647,2016/07/29,10:52:14). The version revision is 1418B02SIM800C32_BT_EAT_115200. Even more, I’m getting almost the same position with a Sim928A (CIPGSMLOC: 0,2.326602,48.803823,2016/07/29,10:13:12 , firmware revision 1137B01SIM928A64_ST_ENHANCE). Need FW update? Thank you

    1. the position will depend on the signal strength and number of antenna’s available. It will be near accurate where the signals are good and you have access to 2+ transmitters available…

  29. I have used SIM 900A GSM Module , I connect GSM module with my pc and verify all l AT command working fine check on PC Hyperteminal.

    Now I have insert Vodafone sim card in SIM900 device. I send ATD commad to SIM900 module and it call to relative netowork. after 60 second some response like “NO ANSWER” or “NO CARRIER” or “BUSY” get on Hypertemianl. can i change that response using AT command?
    if yes thensuggest us.

    I need below response for my application in any network

    GSM Modem dial call to user then
    1) if User Pick call then respnse should be “CONNECT”
    2) if User disconnect call then response should be “BUSY”
    3) if User not pick call then response should be “NO ANSWER”
    4) if user mobile phone in switchoff mode or airplan mode then response should be “NO CARRIER”

    1. If you need to know if the user picked the call You should set AT+MORING=1 This will let you know if the other side is ringing or call is answered.

      If the user Hangs the call you get BUSY by default. may be your provider is not sending the busy code. Try with another simcard.

  30. When SIM900 GSM module dial call to user then if User Disconnect call or Not Pick call or Switchoff mode then SIM 900 display “NO ANSWER” response. SIM 900 Module not give response accroding to condition. so my application not get exact idea user pick call or disconenct call or switchoff mode.

    Note : Right now i have insert Vodafone SIM card into SIM900 GSM Module and USER mobile Service provider is Reliance and Telenor.

  31. Hello Dost
    I have flashed my sim900 shield with rev.1137B08SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS
    DTMF tones are working now but I cannot pass the parameters to set the tone duration.
    Setting the AT+VTD command has no effect, tone duration is always the same,
    When I pass the duration parameter to AT+VTS I get error back.
    In sim900 manual 1.1 there is a parameter for duration

    AT+VTS=?

    +VTS: (0-9,*,#,A,B,C,D),,(1-255)

    OK

    when I try AT+VTS=”1″ I hear the tone at the remote.

    when I try AT+VTS=1″,100
    AT+VTS=”1″,,100 I get ERROR

    Having the same problem with AT+CLDTMF command, duration cannot be set.

    I need to build up a contact-ID protocol time line but without setting the tone duration it is impossible.
    A I using the correct firmware?

    Any help is appreciated.

      1. I already tried that, setting duration with AT+VTD has no effect.
        The duration is always the same.

        1. It should have worked. There are no issues with firmware I think. I would suggest contacting a FAE (field application engr) from simcom or simcom’s supplier in your region

  32. Hi, I have flashed several S2-1040V units (sim 900A) but got a shipment of 3 new ones, didnt look so closly so flashed them all 3 as usual… But now they wount boot. They where S2-1040W-Z1K10 (I think its the W that is the diffrence).

    Anyone have a working firmwire for them? I have tried to flash everything from this site…. Nothing works. The board just sits and rebots itself every second. (same wire with a 1040V works).

  41. Hello,

    I have a few SIM800L modules with the fallowing firmware 1308B06SIM800L16 but they don’t connect to any network in Romania, I got another SIM800L module that is working but this one has 1308B08SIM800L16 firmware.

    Does anybody have the 1308B08SIM800L16 firmware ? to upload it here.
    I tried all the above firmware for SIM800L but with the same result.

    Thank you and best regards,

  42. hi. please can you give some of help with SIM900 GSM module, I am developing an aplication to send and receive SMS…all is operating OK, now I want to activate the GPIO of the module but I am getting ERROR Messages from the module. I am using: AT+SGPIO=0,10,1,1 to set the output to HIGH level when the module receive the message: turn on the pump and AT+SGPIO=0,10,1,0 to place the GPIO 10 to low level, but also too I am getting error message from the module, first I am testing via serial port with Hyperterminal sendind AT commands to module, but I have the same problems.

    best kind regards

    Lenin Morejon.

  43. I am work on SIM900A. From the starting network registration is not done in my hardware I tried different solution but not get proper result. I replace my power supply with mobile battery, upgrade the firmware of the module but the problem was not solved. Do you have any kind of idea for this kind of problem ????

  44. Hello Dost. I am not able to get BT working on my SIM800 module. When I query AT+GSV I get following response:
    SIMCOM_Ltd.
    SMCOM_SM800
    Rev: 1308B02SIM800M64_BT

    This possibly means that BT firmware is loaded? If not, which file can I use from your firmware collection? Can you please advise how I can get BT to work? All BT related AT commands give “ERROR”.
    Thanks

      1. I tried AT+BTSTATUS=? and AT+BTPOWER=1 but in both cases I get ERROR as the response. My SIM800 module is made in India and is standard with PWR and RESET buttons, RING and PWR LEDs, etc. Basically I cannot get the bluetooth enabled. GSM works very well.
        I am using a small 12 V DC power adapter giving about 500mA.
        Please help.

  45. Hi Dost Muhammad:

    I work for an Utility in Costa Rica. We have a GSM Shield for Arduino, It has an SIM900 chip, and it’s firmware is 1137B15SIM900M64ST. In the web page of SIMCOMM2M, the SIM900 supports FOTA feature, but I was wondering if it’s necesary to change the Firmware to enable the FOTA feature. I saw in your webpage the firmware 1137B01SIM900M64 ST DTMF JD MMS FOTA.

    Best regards.

    Luis.

  46. I have SIM900A gsm modem, working perfectly for call and SMS. I wanted to use DTMF from it. But to enable dtmf, when i sent command “AT+DDTE=1” , then the modem sends the reply as “error”, So i thought to update the firmware.My firmware version was 1137B12SIM900A64_ST.rar . So i updated the latest firmware as 1137B03SIM900A64_ST_ENHANCE. And flashed it successfully I CANNOT SET BAUD RATE BACK USED AT\r
    command no respone any help?

      1. SIR
        IT WORKED FOR WHEN I REFLASHED WITH 1137B03SIM900A32_ST
        BUT SAME AT+DDTE=1 ERORR REPLY
        FIRMWARE FOR FLASH SIM900A TO USE DTMF COMMAND

        1. what is the difference between 1137B03SIM900A32_ST and 1137B03SIM900A64_ST_ENHANCE 64 st is nnot working on my sim900a

  47. Hi! I have a sim800 module and am trying to use its bluetooth capabilities.

    But any such bluetooth commands like “AT+BTHOST=?” is giving me an error response, so I’m assuming the firmware that’s preloaded doesn’t support bluetooth functionality.

    I have come across 1308B08SIM800M32 firmware, but how do I load this firmware?Any tool that may aid me in uploading the firmware?

      1. Thanks for the quick response!
        will try it out and could you recommend me a tool like the ” sim900 Customer flash loader V1.01″ for the sim800 module which i can use to upload the firmware.

  48. I have a SIM800L that will not provide any response to AT commands. I know the SIM800L is getting the commands via viewing signals on an oscilloscope on the unit’s RX pin (also the unit will shut down when sending a “AT+CPOWD=1” command. On the TX pin, nothing is ever transmitted back. Is there something wrong with this chip or has the software become corrupted?

      1. Thanks you for your quick response… could you please provide me with a link for how to reflash firmware for a SIM800L?

        1. I downloaded the SimCom SIM800H EAT flash tool (since I didn’t see a flash tool for the Sim800L)… I unzipped the files and ran the “SIMCOM_SIM800H_EAT_flash_Tool.exe. I changed the comm port to the appropriate comm and then loaded the .CFG file associated with the SIM800L (1308B09SIM800L15.cfg)… the program than showed four files “ARM_BL”, “ARM_EXT_BL”, “PRIMARY_MAUI”, “VIVA”. Not having any instruction, I checked them all and clicked “Download”. The flash tool does nothing… just sits there at 0% (no files loaded to my SIM). Do you have any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?… again, are you aware of any instructions on how to use this tool? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

  49. hi TEEBLOG

    i have a problem with conecction to network, i have a GPRS shield (DUINOPEAK) and have a SIM900A but i insert the SIM and try to call and responses “NO CARRIED” and the signal is “0,0”

    I suppose that is because unable to connect to network. I’m from Mexico

    I try to load de firmware of SIM900 and SIM900A and it doesn’t work

    Could you help me please?

    Regards, MARCO

    1. As you said the reason is that the module is locked to certain operators. There are people who flashed sim900 firmware to solve their issue. Can you let me know which firmware did you try

      1. Yes, I try load different firmware of SIM900 (like: 1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE or 1137B12SIM900M64_ST) and does not work

    Thanks in advance

  54. I am currently working on SIM7100E. I am unable to initialize it. I can not sent the AT commands to it. Can you please help me with the initialization of the module?
    Thanks

      1. I got through that. Thanks. But now the problem is that i do not know how to register to the network and in what sequence is should apply the commands to use it for GPRS and 4G. Please help me with that.

        Thanks

          1. The application notes are not much detailed. They have just grouped together the commands in any random order and compiled them into application notes. So I am unable to take any help from them.

  55. Hi TEEBLOG.

    I am using a SIM800L and it fails to register to the Vodafone UK network when using the AT+COPS=1,0,”vodafone” command.

    Is it possible the firmware version Rev: 1308B08SIM800L16 is locked to networks other than UK?

    Also if I try to reflash the SIM800L can I use the 1308B09SIM800L16 firmware? and do I use the SIM900 Flasj loader to do so?

  56. Hello,
    Thanks for your page!
    I have got a SIM900a module (ATK Sim900a V15).
    I am living in Europe so I want to change firmware using sim900 customer flash loader 1.01 or 1.9.
    The connection with arduino Uno is good: this is the answer for “AT+GSV?”

    SIMCOM_Ltd
    SIMCOM_SIM900A
    Revision:1137B13SIM900A64

    My problem is that when i try to connect with customer flash loader, the protocol is looked at the initialisation.
    I try to power only ( no pwrkey so no blink led). Bauds are fixed to 19200 in the arduino software and on the Sim application…I dont understand please help me.

      1. Hello, Thank for your interrest.
        Thé board is here http://store.roboticsbd.com/home/144-atk-sim900a-gsm-gprs-module-bangladesh.html
        Know, i Wonder if thé chipset of usb CH340 Could be thé problem. I look with native port of an arduino due, it is thé same !
        But i see synchronisation bits of the application, maybe my system is too slow ?
        I am buying à ft232 TTL convertisor so it is possible to have an auto baudrate.
        Parraps thé arduino program will be better if pin Rx Serialsoftware will exactly correspond with pin Rx usb usine minimum of lines and not using
        Whyle(Myserial.avaible ()){serial.print(Serial. Read ());} ? What do you think, want and see ft232 ? Or have you got an idea with arduino s?

      2. Hello, evrithing is OK. So arduino serial usb chips CH340 is to bad to communicate with SIM900. If connection is OK with arduino but, If nothings append when you are trying to connect and upload firmware, with customer flash loader (using the Arduino as converter) (all versions flash loader) Buy an FT232 serial converter, instead of arduino, and evrithing is OK. Thank!

    1. Hello Dost,

      Last time I had the problem and your comments helped me alot. I’m using SIM900A in Serbia and I couldnt start it with firmware for sim900a so I flashed it with sim900 firmware and it worked. At that time I just needed SMS and calls but now I need GPRS and HTTP and I think I have the same problem that this module can’t do GPRS in Serbia. Can you tell me how can I check this? This is my log:

      AT+GSV
      SIMCOM_Ltd
      SIMCOM_SIM900
      Revision:1137B06SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE

      OK

      +CGATT: 1

      OK
      AT+CREG?

      AT+SAPBR=3,1,”Contype”,”GPRS”
      ERROR
      AT+COPS?
      +COPS: 0,0,”Vip SRB ”

      OK

    2. Just to say that I’m solved the problem. It was stupid thing but maybe it will be useful to someone. I use Putty and It happens that whenever I pressed quotes i was getting two quotes like this “”, and I always erased one of them and continuing to write the command. But if copy the whole command and paste it it works. I forgot that characters are sent not only when press enter but after every character pressed. Thank you anyway…

  57. Thank you for your reply, here is the log:

      1. I’m establishing connection through rs232 USB to serial adapter directly to PC. I’m using Putty to send AT commands. This SIM card works correctly in cell phone. AT+CPIN command is already listed in the log. Thank you very much!

          1. i am using the same board,s2-1040v-z096x, s/n:mp0615222364212.it working well with terminal software but when i interface it with arduino its not giving response.please suggest me what to do…its very very urgent my project deadline is on 16 aug.please replay me on time..my email id is yrajkishor19@gmail.com

    1. AT+CPIN?

    2. If the response is +CME ERROR: SIM not inserted:
    3. Verify a SIM is correctly inserted and power cycle the device.

    4. If the response is “+CPIN: PH-NET PIN”
    5. This means the SIM/device is locked.

      If you can use the same SIM in different devices without the entry of a lock code and they operate normally you need to verify you have ordered the correct Multi-Tech product.

    6. Hi, I am trying to download an app for sim808 EAT, and it seems that I can’t figure out the begin address for the skatter file for the EAT app. Do you know where can I find description for the address usage in the skatter file?
      Thanks for the help

      1. you should be selecting the starting address as 0400000 if you just want to update the app. Dont forget to select Normal from the drop-down and select Erase source code only option

        1. Thanks a lot! That helped, but I got into another issue. I need to make a post on HTTPS, I am using:

          Any Idea about what am I doing wrong?

          Thanks again!

        2. Hi, can you post the scatter file I should use for the BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6261_S00_1418B02SIM808M32_BT_EAT firmware image?

      2. Hi Istvan. Is it possible to share the skatter file that you used when you built the app? thanks in advance.

        1. Oratios Choisanos, this is the scat file i used, i spend a lot of time trying to figure out which is the correct one for the new version of the SIM808, i use this one and my EAT code runs ok on the new SIM808 module

  58. Hello, I have SIM900A mini ver 3.8.2 with 1137B03SIM900A64_ST_ENHANCE firmware, and I cannot connect to the network. What do you suggest to do? Thank you in advance

    1. When you say

      I cannot connect to the network

      There can be many reasons ranging from you didn’t put a simcard all the way to problems in network or your commands. Please give a log of your AT commands and responses and I would love to help out if I could!

  59. Hi, I have SIM900 module. I’ve downloaded the firmware version 1137B13SIM900M64 ST with Normal Mode (Core file). Download process is successful. But I power up my module every ~30 s the module send 0x49 0x49 0x49 0x49 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff. After send that character my configuration is gone. Can you help me to fix it? Thanks in advance.

      1. Hi, send AT\r is ok. but every ~30 s the module send character 0x49 0x49 0x49 0x49 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff(Periodicly).
        I suspect the firmware revision didn’t match.
        Do you have the firmware with revision 1137B03T900M64_ST?
        Thanks.

          1. I’ve tried for this revision. the result is still did not work as well(every ~30 s send the character0x49 0x49 0x49 0x49 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff ). I think any different between SIM900 and T900. so I cannot use the firmware revision for SIM900 in T900. If you have the firmware revision for T900 or the specific revision is 1137B03T900M64_ST, please share. I really need that. Thanks. 🙂

  60. Hello,
    I am trying to use a SIM800L in France but it doesn’t work with ATcommands.
    I thought maybe I need to upgrade the firmware. Do you have any tutoria to do it?

    Thanks

      1. I try followin At commands:
        AT+COPS=?
        ->+COPS: (2,”Orange F”,”Orange”,”20801″),(3,”BOUYGUES TELECOM”,”BYTEL”,”20820″),(3,”SFR”,”sFR”,”20810″),,(0-4),(0-2)

        AT+COPS?
        ->+COPS: 1

        AT+COPS=0
        ->+CME ERROR: 604

        AT+CSQ
        ->+CSQ: 14,0

        AT+CREG?
        ->+CREG: 0,3

        Normally it is supposed to connect on “Orange F”.
        Do you have an idea of this error?
        I can test other AT commands if you want.

        Thanks.

          1. But I work with it …its firstly working very well …then the sim doesn’t register to the jordan network

  61. Hello,
    I have sim800 with the firmware 1308B02SIM800M64 so it does not support Bluetooth. So if you have can you please upload the firmware to support Bluetooth.

  62. Hello:

    I have order a SIM900A to chinese provider, I have read now that these versions are locked for Asia countries, but may unlock with new firmware.

    I have connect module to my computer with RS232 level adapter, send AT commands and work, but do not know yet if its locked, I suppose it is.

    With AT command AT+GMR module reply with firmware version 1137BO5SIM900A64_ST_ENHANCE.

    Please may tell me if my SIM900A is locked for Asia countries and so if need update firmware and what firmware version I must apply ??

    Thank you.

  63. great job, do you have any link to firmware upgrades to sim800. I’m having problems with bluetooth together with USSD messages. Bluetooth works with one firmware, and USSD works with another firmware.

  64. Hello all
    i have updated my sim908 with 1137B04SIM908M64_ST downloaded from here but now my sim 908 is not responding for at command also.
    I followed the downloading and it downloaded successfully also.
    is there any thing to do once downloading finishes.
    can anybody help me
    thanks in advance

  65. hi I have troubles with my sim900a it doesn´t work propertly i think is blocked, i´m from Mexico and i hope there is a chance to make it works.

    Thanks 🙂

  66. Hi Dost.

    I recently flashed my working SIM900 with SIM900 firmware containing _ST_MMS.
    The upgrade was successful.
    But after the Update the Module is not registering on the network.
    What do you think is the problem, because earlier it would automatically register on power On.

    Thanks

  67. Hi,
    I used 1137B03SIM900M64_ST_ENHA…CE (1).cla, I also tied the pwrkey to gnd.
    But this version of firmware is not getting loaded.
    The loaded always ends with
    Err 070 – Error during acknowledgmetn waiting
    Err 070 – Error during download application in flash

    I am using Windows XP and have tried other firmware available on internet for sim900.
    Is 1137B05SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE is the latest version ?

  68. Hi,
    I am using a SIM900 with arduino Uno and I have a problem. Each time I turn the GSM module off, all settings are lost and thus I must first use AT commands for setup and only after that I can use the GSM function with arduino (but sometimes it does not work…). Any solution to use the GSM sketch “easily” ? Every time I start, the CSTT is CMNET and not the one I configured.

    Best regards,
    Raph

  69. Hi,
    I have sim900a module with airtel sim. i have been trying relentlessly to connect to https://thingspeak to update my channel but no luck. i have gone through the HTTPS document for Sim900A and am following the instructions. it keeps on throwing 601(Network error). but if i disable HTTPS(at+httpsssl=0) and try updating my channel through the regular url it works just fine. could you please point me to the right direction to get HTTPS working.
    secondly as the document states, the procedure to initiate the HTTPS con, i see that setting the CID doesn’t work till i pass AT+HTTPINIT which i think is command from HTTP and not HTTPS. so if i mix and match both commands, the module responds to https but no update on my channel, 601 error.
    thanks bhaijaan.

    1. Hi, Can you please share your workout if you have got a success? I am working on similar project. Your help will be appreciable.

  70. Hi, I’m very new to this , actually I have just modified my first pcb, the one I’m using is for a IDS alarm system called the XSMS for IDS alarm, I had to make some mods for it to work without the interface of the alarm but all is working, I want to know how do I know what is the newest firmware for my unit my firmware is SIMCOM_Ltd SIMCOM_SIM900 Revision:1137B11SIM900M64_ST when AT+GSV is used, which one can I use, also does this units only support GPRS or does it support EDGE and 3G, how do I check. thank you in advance for your replays.

    1. 1137B11SIM900M64_ST is an older one , but should work fine.. newer ones come with ENHANCE tag. There is no public official source to get the latest firmware.
      Sim900 will support GPRS and EDGE but not 3G.

  71. Hello Muhammad,
    I found your website when I was searching for my problem with Sim900 CIT 03 .I ‘ve wondered totally with your site.
    I have bought a SIM900 CIT 03 from china for upgrading SIM900. It dose upgrade, but I can not connect to it via hyper terminal to check module.
    i dont understand the problem. I ‘ve connected CIT through main port via a USB to serial converter to my PC (it is known as COM3)
    In hyper terminal I select COM3 and set baud to 115200 , when I try to connect to module on CIT I just see IIII when I turn on the module but when I type AT nothing happen.Can you guide me, please ?
    thanks

      1. HELLO
        I’ve done so , but it dosen’t type nothing.also I have sim900 EVB it work properly with hyper terminal.

  72. Hi, I have already change the firmware in a lot of SIM900A (64BIT) with 1137B01SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE and after that works very well here in Italy.
    Now I have others sim900a buyed in China with this strange firmware: 1137B03SIM900A128_32_SPANSION_TTS and the simcom firmware program flasher don’t flash them, I have tried also this: 1137B09SIM900B32_ST but the program says that is impossible flash that firmware on that chip.
    Do you now why?
    Thank’s a lot

      1. Thank’s a lot, now maybe I understand, this is a new TTS version then with 128 Mb of memory.
        I think I try to load the TTS firmware for sim900, do you know where I could find it?
        I looked on the internet but I did not find it …

          1. Hi, here I am!
            I got the firmware
            1137B06SIM900M128_32_SPANSION_TTS!
            If you want I post it to you.
            Into rar file there are 4 files: .CLA, .STR, .DEF and .X.
            I was already able to change the firmware with Sim900 customer flash loader v1.01 only to charge .CLA file but I don’t understand how make it with this 4 files…
            Could you help me?
            Thank’s

  73. Hi Muhammad
    Thank you for this post
    I have a sim900A. When i put AT+GSV it outputs
    Revision:1137B03SIM900A128_32_SPANSION_TTS
    What is this? does it need a 128MB firmware?
    This sim900A fails to read my SIM card, when i put AT+CPIN it gives me ERROR. So am trying to flash another firmware 🙂
    Thank you man

      1. Hello!

        I’m a beginner with the SIM808 and I look forward to test the EAT. I found today this http://microchip.ua/simcom/ which gives all the information and the tools to download software to the SIM808. I haven’t tried this yet but it’s the only information I found about the EAT on SIM808.

        I can try to run the demos and the download tool on the SIM808 and let you know how it went.

        SIM800x -> EAT -> SIM808eat.rar

  74. Dear Dost:

    I just updated the firmware of my SIM900 module (1137B01SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS_FOTA.cla) Everything happened well, but after that:

    1) I get no response to any AT command (tried ATr at several baud rates, 9600 and 115200 included)
    2) The intermitent LED to signal the connection status, is completely OFF, not flasshing at all.

    I am out of ideas at this point. What do you think I shuld try now?

    1. Try re flashing the firmware or any other firmware.

      The NET_LED should blink once you switched on the modem using PWRKEY (by providing a pulse, or connecting to GND).

  75. Hi:
    I recently purchased the next module:
    “New SIM900A V4.0 Extension Kit Wireless GSM GPRS Module Board.”
    The problem is that not detected network.
    to enter: AT + CREG? Responds + CREG: 0.0

    I tried to load different firmware but I still not detect network.
    Can anyone tell me the firmware of Europe Spain to SIM900A V4.0?
    thanks

      1. Thanks Muhammad Shah
        I loaded the firmware indicated (1137b03sim900m64_st_enhance), but my sim900a can not connect to the network.

        Thanks for your prompt response.

          1. Hello! I have a module sim 7100!do you have a firmware for update this module?I have some trouble with change imei!After update my module I can’t change imei and it remains unchanged

  76. Hi , can you please tell me how to interface GSM modem to DTMF IC .
    my application is it if i make a call to modem and press any key in my mobile it will detect my the GSM+DTMF module. please help me

    1. Which Modem are you using? depending on modem you are using, you may not even need an external IC for DTMF. SIM900 and other modems have built in support for DTMF decoding!

      1. Hello Dost, Thanks for your reply.
        I am using SIM 900 modem. How can we decode the DTMF tone using SIM900 modem. We have any digital pin for SIM900 like MT8870. Or else we have to use any commands to decode the DTMF Tones. My application like IVRS system, 1st we have to make a call to SIM900 modem from any mobile phone, depending on key press, 3 phase motor will control .

        1. You need to have a firmware that supports DTMF. To check if your firmware supports DTMF Send AT+DDET=1 If your receive OK your firmware supports DTMF.

          Now if you are in a call and the other party presses any key you would receive +DTMF:x where x is the key pressed.

          CHECK THIS DOCUMENT AS WELL

          1. Hello Dost,

            Thanks for your reply.
            I will check this once. I read the PDF, its seam very easy, we need not to add any DTMF decoder.

      2. Hello Dost,
        as per your reply, I checked it in my GSM Modem(sim 900).
        my firmware is 1137B09SIM900M64_ST.
        I am getting error while using DTMF Command.

        AT
        OK
        AT+CMGF=1
        OK
        AT+DDET=0
        ERROR
        AT+DDET=1
        ERROR
        AT+CGMR
        Revision:1137B09SIM900M64_ST.
        please do the needful.

  77. I have SIM900A gsm modem, working perfectly for call and SMS. I wanted to use DTMF from it. But to enable dtmf, when i sent command “AT+DDTE=1” , then the modem sends the reply as “error”, So i thought to update the firmware.My firmware version was 1137B12SIM900A64_ST.rar . So i updated the latest firmware as 1137B03SIM900A64_ST_ENHANCE. And flashed it successfully, and made 9600 baudrate back and all. The tried sending “AT+DDTE=1” and it sent reply as “1”. Means DTMF was enabled, Then i tested sending and receiving DTMF tones, it was completely working.
    But when today morning i set back to work, it doesnt work. It again shows the same reply “error” when i tried to enable dtmf. I checked the current firmware, it is still the latest one i flashed.
    Anyone can help me? please? i stuck very badly. I already made program also for DTMF, but now just unable to just enable dtmf. 🙁 And it was working yesterday but now from today. whats the solution.

    1. tried sending “AT+DDTE=1″ and it sent reply as “1”. Means DTMF was enabled

      You need to send AT+DDET=1 , the reply should be OK

        Are other functions working correctly even now?
        try reflashing the firmware … that might help ?
  78. Hello brother,

    I have some problem with my sim900. It works with few sim cards only. Why ?
    I checked the firmware and it was latest version B14.
    Go and check our project on mysafeauto.fr
    Please reply me quickly.

  79. This is really very helpful post Dost shah, i was working with the china sim900a module “http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-GSM-module-SIM900A-whole-network-smallest-GPRS-phone-communications-IPEX-message-board-seat/2026788175.html” and destroying one module i figured its firmware number 1137B05SIM900A32_ST, i managed to change baud rate to 19200, not it is responding to AT commands, but when is use at+cmgs, it enters into msg mode and never comes out without showing error when i use 0x1a, i have tried to send msg using arduino but still no out, can u plz help me in solving this issue why is it showing error while geting out of msg,

    also i have tried later 32bit firmware, these updates leaves this module into restarting loop every 2 seconds.

    Thanx in advance

      1. It send ERROR when i send ATr

        One more thing the ATD comand returns
        NO CARRIER, and , CFUN: 1
        CPIN: READY

        and when i wanted to send the msg, the msg never send because its not detecting ctrl+z, or 1A

          1. Hi,
            Where are you using this module?

            The SIM900A model is for the Chinese market and some other Asian countries…From documentation of sim900A

            The SIM900A-model is locked to these regions:

            China
            India
            Singapore
            Malaysia
            Thailand
            Indonesia
            Cambodia
            Vietnam
            Laos
            Burma
            Brunei
            Philippines
            East Timor

            There are people who used Sim900A in other regions by Flashing SIM900 (not SIM900A) firmware.. Try it!

            So AVOID the SIM900A model unless you are in one of these countries !

          2. I juts found this blog post where the author manages to upload Sim900A firmware and it starts working.

            Since everyone is interested in this post and lots of request comes to get the firmware, i have put a link so that everyone can download it easily. SIMCOM 900A firmware

            Here is the link for 1137B11SIM900A32_ST.rar

            Its been a while that i was trying to fix the SIM900A GSM module. This module support local GSM band but after some researches it was concluded that it is carrier locked :(. After long conversion of days to actual chip manufacture SIMCOM, they told it can be fixed by updating its firmware to latest original version but unfortunately they don’t provide firmware to small parties.

            I never stop trying to get the firmware and SIMCOM again replied, this time they said contact local SIMCOM supplier and request for firmware. But this little Maldives don’t have SIMCOM or any electronics manufacturer. So i contacted my friend coody from NOA LABS/Smart prototyping (a friend in china) and told him to help me. I explained him what to do so he can communicate with SIMCOM in china.

            Finally he sends and email saying that he got the firmware and it is uploaded to drop box. So just now downloaded the files and flash the new firmware and tadaaa… it works and works 🙂
            Now i can register to local networks and do the magic.

            Here is the terminal data that i got after the update.

            NORMAL POWER DOWN
            
            +CREG: 3

            +CMGS: 34
            
            OK
            

            for test i send an SMS and it works perfectly..see the above..

  80. Hi Dost shah,
    I am using a sim900a to connect it to the GSM network. I have put the nodule on a board with required supply voltage and connections to sim card holder. I have also connected LEDs through resistors for status and net.
    After powering ON , and pulling the powerkey to gnd the net led continuously blinks and status led is off.
    Can you please help me with a solution?
    Does this require a firmware update. I am not sure about the current firmware version as tx RX are not connected.

    Thanks in advance

    1. It would be easier for me If you share your schematic. Any how the net led should blink, if it blinks that means your modem has switched on.
      If it is able to register to the network it will blink slowly. If its not registered it will blink fast.

      The status led circuit may be wrong if it still is off

  81. Hello, im working on sim900A, & i want to send mms , can u plz tell me, do i need to upgrade firmware?
    My current version is 1137B10SIM900A64_ST
    Reply ASAP

  82. One last problem I am facing is that AT+CMMSINIT is giving error.
    Googling even doen’t provided the satisfactory answer. I fear if anybody would have successfully sent the MMS through SIM900A module.
    I am executing following set of commands….

    AT+CMMSINIT

    1. Sorry but AT+CMMSSEND is giving the error not the command AT+CMMSINIT as I mistakenly written in my previous post

  83. I have SIM900A GSM module. Currently it has 1137B12SIM900A64_ST firmware and I want to upgrade it to
    1137B13SIM900A64_ST_DL. Right now I am using arduino duemilanove. Rx (GSM)–> Rx(arduino) and Tx–>Tx. I have also removed Atmega328 chip.
    But I am getting :error during baud rate change
    Check Target setting…
    Please advice who so ever have done it successfully..

      1. I already tried it but then, it doesn’t even download the flash in the RAM. The screen shows “Please power up the target”.
        But if I connect Tx–>Tx, then it downloads the flash in RAM but then gives error of baud rate change !!
        Please help

          1. I have tried all the baud rates.
            In my GSM module pwrkey pin is permanently grounded…

          2. great, It worked Thanks a lot your blog and prompt replies…
            I personally recommand not to use any arduino board but use FT232 breakout boards. I used this board http://www.nex-robotics.com/products/wireless-devices/xbee-usb-wireless-module.html
            Connect pin2 (Rx) — > (Tx) GSM Module and pin 3 to Rx of GSM Module.

            It worked flawlessly for me. I successfully uploded “1137B13SIM900A64_ST_DL” firmware

            But still AT+CMMSINIT command is not working ??
            Is their any firmware which supports email or mms for SIM900A as it is available for SIM900.

            Waiting for your reply sir !!

  84. I am trying to program SIM900 using SIM900DEVIDE. I am using RVCT COmpiler. I am facing trouble in compiling sample Programs given by SIMCOM.. Some programs get compiled and make the .CLA File.. But programs which use sprintf function I am getting Error in loading ARM Libraries…

    Has anyone used the Embedded programs in SIM900.. My application is : On getting RING the Modem should Pick up i.e. give ATA command. Then it should Play a file “WELCOME.AMR”.After that It should wait for DTMF Digits o be dialled.. If It gets # ( “DTMF:#”) then the SIM900 should give 1 to GPIO12. Again it should go on expecting a DTMF Tone..If It gets * ( “DTMF:*”) then the SIM900 should give 0 to GPIO12.

    I have used a Microcontroller and programmed for this application using AT Commands they work fine.. But I understand the SIM900 has sufficient power to execute a program like this internally.. Can anyone who has worked on this.. Help…

    Thanks

  85. Hi. I am working on a project to send data to the server using SIM900D. I am trying to initiate HTTP GET request to send the data. The problem I am facing is with the response of the GET request. When I use AT+HTTPREAD, the code hangs there and reading the response never ends and it stays in the while loop that is reading the response, and thats why I am unable to initiate second GET request. I am wondering whether the problem is from the server side? Is it sending the correct response after receiving a GET request? How to check that? Why am I unable to read the response? I need help. Thanks

      1. That might be a reason. Is there any way that we can ignore the response broadcast? I tried to skip reading it and exluded AT+HTTPREAD command, but still was unable to send second GET request. I think the module gets busy with the response even if we don’t read it. I am stuck here.

          1. Even if I dont read the response, it doesn’t send the second GET request. SIM900D replies with +HTTPACTION:0,200 but the request is not received on the server. Only the first request is received

  86. I have read the Document SIM900 Embedded AT Application Note in which they have given the API’s and detailed Description. I also Got RVCT_EAT Compiler and SIm900DEVIDE program which is required for SIM900 embedded AT Compiling. I have made a New Project and copied Files from the SAMPLEs and tried to Compile but it is giving me Errors regarding >MAP file Empty Execution region description for region HEEP_RAM_DATA ( besides several Warnings. Presently I am not bothering about Warnings. ). Because of the Error the .CLA file is not created…

    Has anyone worked on the Embedded AT.. Why this error is coming..

    Please Help.

    1. Could you please point me out the links to the RVCT_EAT Compiler and SIm900DEVIDE program, all I am finding is user manuals. I am looking to work on embedded AT as well.

    2. Could you please point me out the links to the RVCT_EAT Compiler and SimDEVIDE program, all I am finding is user manuals. I am looking to work on embedded AT as well. And a quick question will the SimDevIDE program works for other modes as well ? e.g. SIM868, SIM808 etc.

  87. Hi Dost Shah

    I have problems flashing my SIM900A. I have this board http://www.uctronics.com/download/SIM900A_Pinout_diagram.jpg. I am using Linux with Wine and flash loader V1.01. I’ve tried to use both reguar TXD/RXD and also DBG_RXD and DBG_TXD. I am using FDTI232 cable.

    Flash loader fails after erasing flash memory. Last messages are:

    ok: Flash erased
    ok: Downloading application in Flash...
    err: Err 000  - Error during acknowledgement waiting
    err: Err 000  - Error during download application in Flash
    err: Err 000  - Error during download application in Flash
    err: Err 000  - Check target settings

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance!

  88. Firstly, all the information you have put is really useful. Thanks.
    I wanted to know, what is the difference between 1137B02SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE and 1137B02SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE-EAT? Also, where can I find SIM900 AT command set v 1.08?

    Which is the latest firmware for SIM900 which has even the GPS related commands?

  89. Furt of all, all the informatio you have put is really useful. Thanks.

  90. Hello,

    I am working in a project that uses a SIM900 module to control a system with commands sent via DTMF. I am having a problem with the DTMF decoding. When I use an android mobile phone to control the system it “almost” works. The problem is that some of the DTMF tones are not detected (30 to 40 percent of the tones are not detected). If I use a fixed phone all the DTMF codes are detected and decoded correctly.

    Any idea about how to fix the problem?

    Thank you in advance and best regards,
    Antonio.

          1. Hello,

            I have been testing with hyperterminal and I think that the problem is related to the tone length because if I use longer clicks on the keyboard it seems to work. Do you know if there is a length of limit for the tones to be correctly decoded?

            Thank you and best regards
            Antonio.

          2. hmm, I am not sure why it happens for you, I am not aware of any way to set any parameter regarding the length of tones. try to contact simcom support!

    1. I am new here. I would like to know if we can program the SIM900 to program for Picking up the Phone after Two Rings ( Keep on looking at the Input and after 2 Rings give “ATA”)and then Play a File ( Give command AT+CPAMR=”welcome.amr”,0 ) and then keep on looking for DTMF Input and depending on the DTMF Input give the Output GPIO..

      Can the program be stored in SIM900 so i dont have to use external Microcontroller..

      I have used the Microcontroller and made the Program using RS232 and interfaced RS232 of the SIM900 to Microcontroller.. It works OK.. But I feel SIM900 has sufficient power to store the Program.. How to make the Program.. How to compile …And how to upload it in SIM900

          1. I havent worked on embedded AT until now! maybe some one on the comments thread have worked on , or try asking at any other forum like edaboard or stackoverflow.

  91. Hi, i’ve downloaded the firwmare 1137B03SIM900M64_ST into the sim900 module,but after i downloaded the modem is not working..pls help me out

    1. Does the modem switch on? and show registered when sim card is inserted?
      If so you need to send AT command making sure AT is in CAPS just after powering up the modem.

      1. Hi,i ‘ve dowloaded the firm ware into sim900 module at the baudarte 115200 bps,after the download complete..i tired to test the modem with AT commnads in hyprtrminal but its not working

  92. I am new to the ham radio ‘mesh’ hobby, …but I am trying to learn it (and Linux too) !

    When I try to run your software, almost ALL of it loads onto my new Banana Pi. (it does run.)

    But I get one ‘failed’ message:

    * Startpar failed to open vchiq *

    How do I clear this ‘VCHIQ’ fail error?

    Thank you very much.

  93. Hi. please if you can help me, I built a electronic board with SIM900 and PIC microcontroller, 18F4520, to send and receive SMS, the electronic board operates well certain time (3 or 4 days) then the SIM900 Module dead, and the PIC microcontroller follows operating OK, doing others things, the communications between SIMM900 and PIC microcontroller is lost…..I have to reset the module to again operate the electronic board, but I have to go to the site and this is the problem…..I you have some Idea where is the problem…

    thank you very much in advance.

    1. I guess the problem is somewhere in the modem circuit. Any how you can implement a check in your pic firmware. Send AT and if you are not getting replies you may switch off modem using AT+CPOWD command and then switch it on. Also implement another check. I have found that when the modem loses signals sometimes it doesn’t register even when it gets back signals. For this you can keep checking registration after small intervals if it shows that sim card isn’t registered switch off modem and switch it on again.

  95. Hello i would like to ask if anyone knows what’s the difference between modules that have

    SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE and
    SIM900M64_ST

    Regards Panagiotis

  96. Hi, thanks for your post
    But I’m a little bit confused that what is the difference between normal version and enhanced version of these firmware?
    For ex: 1137B13SIM900M64_ST and 1137B03SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCED
    Can they work together?

    1. SIMCOM used to have firmwares that supported DTMF ,emails and other functions like Jamming detection and used to write those functions in the firmware version as sufix. ST for example had only standard features. Later on they integrated all these features and added suffix ENHANCED.

      1. So, it means we can only install either standard or enhanced firmware version?
        Thank you for your answer.

  97. Hello i am using a sim900A and it wont connect to the network all at commands work just it wont connect to the network. through research the firmware is to old or just wont connect to U.S. networks. Can i Flash firmware for the sim900 on sim900A?? or can i Flash the latest version of the sim900A and it work on U.S. networks?? any help would be greatly appreciated as i dont think im gonna be able to pull the sim900 i have on a shield off to put on my other pcb. Thank you also i can easily hook up rx and tx and gnd but what software do i need to use to actually flash the file onto the sim900A. Thanks!

    1. Hi Robert,

  106. Hi, ON SIM900 in case we use 1137B09SIM900M64_ST_EMAIL_TEST_20110701 for email, in that DTMF functionality is not working, is there any firmrware where email and DTMF both should wok
    Report

  107. sir,
    I'm trying to send an image to a phone using MMS. I am able to get to the point where my serial monitor says “CONNECT”. From my understanding of the SIM900 MMS manual, that means that the module is now ready to receive data. I am not sure about how to get the module read the data. I am trying to get an image from the SD card to the module.

    Right now, I'm using this to read from the SD card and send it to the SIM900 module:

    File dataFile = SD.open(“datalog.txt”);

    // if the file is available, write to it:
    if (dataFile) {
    while (dataFile.available()) {
    Serial.write(dataFile.read());
    }
    dataFile.close();
    }

    It's not working. Eventually, the module waits there for the time specified in the AT command and prints “ERROR” on the serial monitor.

    If anybody could offer some help, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
    thanks

  108. i got my sim900 upgraded. i am trying to send a picture from an SD card to a phone through MMS but it is not working. kindly assist me

  109. i have sim 900a module and also has 32kb flash memory.I tried all 32kb firmware but i can not use the DTMF serivices.Please give me the firmware for the sim 900 with flash 32kb memory.

  110. We are using SIM900b for making speech calls.
    S/W version is 1137B08SIM900B32_ST.
    We have kept COLP = 1;
    Call is established by using ATD command. (ATD 😉
    There is Ring on the number.
    ATH0 command is send GSM Module to disconnect the call. But there is no disconnection on outside party (It keeps on ringing)
    Above works OK if we keep COLP = 0.

  111. thanks dost shah
    the update was succeessful following you directions. but there is another problem. the sim900 module does not respond to AT command. here is the masseges;

    AT
    ok
    AT+IPR=19200
    OK
    ATI
    5600 instead of sim900 r11.0
    AT+GSV

    I need help

  112. If you're planning on using an Arduino Duemilanove to update the firmware:
    1. remove the Arduino's ATMEGA chip (we're flashing with the smd FTDI chip and this'll only interfere with the process)
    2. connect the SIM900 RX to D0 (RX) and the SIM900 TX to D1 (TX)

    If you don't remove the ATMEGA prior to trying to flash the chip you might receive the following error(s):
    Connection timeout (or similar)

    Err 306 - Error during flash erase

  113. i bought sim900 shield from seeedstudio. after testing the revision, it is 1137B03SIM900M64_ST. i download the 1137B03SIM900M64_ST_MMS firmware to upgrade it to enable me send mms message.i connect the tx and rx of the module through ardunio deumilanove (cos it has ft232 chip onboard) to my laptop. i used the sim900 customer flash loader v1.01. i got these error message. i tried all the availble baud rate, it still repeat the same:
    6' err 000 error during change baud rate
    7' err000 error during loader initialisation
    8' check target setting

    1. thanks dost shah. i succeeded in upgrading shield with the steps u described. but after upgrading, it report errors to AT commands. e.g
      AT+gsv reports error. pls help

    2. Before I started with the firmware upgrade procedure, I set the baud rate og gprs module to 115200 with the AT+IPR command. After that I started firmware upgrade procedure, rate was also set to 115200. As a result, I get the mentioned error. I also tried to change the baud rate during the firmware upgrade procedure (all possible values), but nothing changed, the same error occurs.

      I also pressing the powerkey pressed during the upgrade procedure, the whole time (error occurs in less than 10 seconds).

      I am out of ideas, please help me.

I also tried to change the baud rate during the firmware upgrade procedure (all possible values), but nothing changed, the same error occurs.

      You recommended to use 11500 baud rate; I assume you were thinking of 115200?

      I am still getting the error, plz help.

  115. Hello
    We are working on a project having sim900A as the GSM/GPRS module .The PCB board designed and fabricated is as per the reference design shown in one of your technical document.The board works fine with most of the service providers(In India service providers are Vodafone ,Tatadocomo etc),but this module fails with the sim provided by India's largest Service provider Airtel.

    When we start the system it works fine with the airtel sim but when we start loading it(Sending sms ) ,it starts giving this error- “+CPIN Not ready” and then we are not able to access the SIM900A module.
    Can you please provide any help on this.

  119. Hello! I have a SIM900 board from elecfreaks ( http://dx.com/p/efcom-pro-wireless-850-900-1800-1… ). Came with firmware 1137B06SIM900M64_ST. Update to 1137B11SIM900M64_ST and 1137B12SIM900M64_ST. Updated with SIM900 Series download Tools Customer 1.6. No error. Now board boots up and seems to work judging by the led lights. But, cannot communicate with hyperterminal like before. Tried all baudrates and of course the default 19200 8-N-1. What can be wrong? Funny thing is that I could downgrade from B12 to B11 using the same serial interface.
    What can be wrong? Did I brick my module?

    Thank you!!

    1. to upgrade u need to connect the TX and rx of the sheild to your PC and use the flash uploader program to upload the new firmware. Which sheild are you using?

  121. Hi! I have put 1137B08SIM900A32_ST on my SIM900A module but after that it is not registered in network.
    AT+CPIN? returns +CPIN: PH-NET PIN . what it mean? Thanks

  122. There can be two problems. Either problem with the connection or board settings or with the module. Some times the module wont upgrade although it was working fine before upgrade process.

    Which board are u using. Can u share a snapshot of ur setup?

    1. Firstly thaks for your reply. I m using sim900 EVB here is boards picture: http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v1/478119957_1/SIM

      before I try loading the firmware, my serial connection setup was 9600 baud here my setup:
      [url <a href="http:// =http://bit.ly/c25MCx][img]http://g1302.hizliresim.com/16/c/k0gb6.png[/img][/url]” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://=http://bit.ly/c25MCx%5D%5Bimg%5Dhttp://g1302.hizliresim.com/16/c/k0gb6.png%5B/img%5D%5B/url%5D” target=”_blank”>=http://bit.ly/c25MCx][img]http://g1302.hizliresim.com/16/c/k0gb6.png[/img][/url]

      And here my topic: (includes pictures) http://www.edaboard.com/thread279917.html#post119

  123. hello, tried to put to module via customer flash loader "1137B03SIM900M64_ST_MMS" but it gives error like:
    Reception incomplete

    00' 26'' 520 - Err  307 - Error during flash erase
    00' 26'' 535 - Err  307 - Error during flash erase

    How can I get over this problem?

      1. I have sim900 module with sim900 evo board. And I have no alternativ now. As I see sim900 should accept this firmware.
        I tried this: 1137b08sim900m64_st_dtmf_jd_mms. but the same error. My goal is detect dtmf tones via sm900.

        so I you got an idea for err 307???
        .

    1. >>>>00' 26'' 520 - Err 307 - Error during flash erase
      >>>>00' 26'' 535 - Err 307 - Error during flash erase

      This error code was not long enough when holding PWKEY step 7!
      When PWKEY kept at 0 for a long time as in Step 7 – then there was no error.

  128. Hi!
    Awesome collection, do you happen to know on which version the 1137B01SIM900M64_ST_ENHANCE firmware is based on?
    Will there be a release note for it too?

  129. Is there any functional difference for the SIM900 firmware version 1137B11SIM900M64_ST_TCP_SERVER ? Is there an application note for it, or some helpful information on it?

  130. Hi.
    I try to get like this

    AT+SAPBR=3,1,"Contype","GPRS"
    AT+SAPBR=3,1,"APN","CMNET"
    AT+SAPBR=1,1
    AT+SAPBR=2,1
    
    AT+CIPGSMLOC=1,1
    

    the gsm location is a have it from the official Sim900_GSM_Location_ATC pdf but it doesn't work.
    It looks like, that the command AT+CIPGSMLOC doesn't exist. With a custom firmware it should work. Does someone know which includes that command?

  131. Can you show me: How to SIM900B can detect dtmf from my mobile when i call to SIM900B:

    Revision:1137B01SIM900B64_ST_
    ENHANCE

    Send: AT+DDET=1
    Return: OK

    …Receive an incoming call
    Send: ATA
    Return: connection is successful

    From my button of Mobile: i press “1” or “2”… but i don't see SIM900B reported via serial port

    Can i update: 1137B08SIM900M64_ST_DTMF_JD_MMS ?

  132. Hello

  133. Hi Dost,
    See the messagens of the errors”Simcom – sim900 Customer flash loader V1.01″:

    Err 000 - Error during acknowledgement waiting
    Err 000 - Error during download data via Boot ROM
    Err 000 - Error during download loader in RAM
    Check target settings
    

    Regards

      1. I am also getting this error while upgrading the firmware, but i don't have SIM900 shield. I have GSM module which connects through serial port.

        1. Usually it happens but following measures might help you out

          # keep the power_key pin low through out the update process.
          # make sure you use the default baud rate of the loader software
          # if the default baud rate fails again and again try using 115200 as baud rate
          # retry !

  134. Dear Dost!

    When I use the “Simcom – sim900 Customer flash loader V1.01” with Arduino Uno/Atmega16U2 it doesn't work.
    Do you have any tip how to use the Arduino Uno for change the firmware of the SIM900?
    Could you help me?

    Regards,
    Arnaldo

      1. Hi Dost!
        No problem I'll try explain you of another way.
        I've a Arduino UNO hardware and this shield: “http://www.elecfreaks.com/store/gprsgsm-shield-efcom-p-415.html”. I put inside of the Arduino this code for comunication with shield:

        void setup() {
          // initialize D0 pin as an input:
          pinMode(0, INPUT);
          // initialize D1 pin as an input:
          pinMode(1, INPUT);
        }
        void loop(){
        //none
        }
        

        When I used the “Simcom – sim900 Customer flash loader V1.01” the software stoped on the step 6 (Click the START button to download, you will see window like the one below).

        Can I used Arduino for change the firmware (SIM900)?
        Is there other hardware to comunicate with shield?

        Thank you for your time!

        Regards
