UNO+Xbee BT Shield+BluetoothBee(V2+EDR) - Cant send AT commands

hey guys,

Ive got a Arduino UNO with a Xbee Shield attached that has the BluetoothBee V2 device on it.
Ive researched and looked everywhere and cant seem to send an AT command to the BTBv2 without getting an ERROR message.

1) Ive taken out the IC chip on the UNO
2) switchd the BTB to AT mode
3) switched the Xbee to 'PROG' and 'USB'
4) Then attached USB cable to provide power
5) opened up Serial Monitor on correct port - BAUD set at 38400, Both NL and CR
6) write "AT" and get a response "OK"

HOWEVER, when I write for example, AT+RESET, AT+NAME, AT+ADDR etc i only get "ERROR" - no idea why :(

Ive used the following links for help and nothing seems to solve it. what am i missing?

Thanks guys, any help would be appreciated.

2013-07-10 22:14:28 Not going to believe this but after 2 days trying to get this thing working, out of nowhere it didnt read the COM port, windows gave me a malfunctioning device prompt, so i hooked it up to another usb and all of a sudden the AT commands are pulling through.

Ill keep you posted incase anything happens in the near future then ill get Mods to lock the thread. Cheers Jose.

Can you send a screenshot of the Serial terminal and the AT commands?
Have you tried other AT commands?

Cheers^^
