RACH burst for unsupported device?

[rainnw]

Hello,

I am trying to get YateBTS working on a BladeRF with Ubuntu. Everything is built and my unlocked phone can see the BTS in its network list. However, when I select this network, it hangs for a while and fails. I get this in the logs when this happens:

I am not sure what these other errors are, but any idea what "2015-07-28_21:55:26.271317 <mbts:NOTE> RadioResource.cpp:243:AccessGrantResponder: RACH burst for unsupported service RA=186" means?

The latest version of YateBTS has some issues with the transceiver that affects the functionality.
Please use a YateBTS prior to SVN revision 504.
First make uninstall to the current YateBTS, and then install the older version. Keep in mind that the older version has a dependency on libbladerf-dev, so you need to have it installed.
Please make sure you don't have the new transceiver (gsmtrx) and the old transceiver running at the same time (transceiver-bladerf).  They use the same port and this will affect functionality as well. The need to uninstall the new YateBTS is just avoid this issue.

according to the above solution downgrading yatebts worked but then,
how do i go about with uninstalling yatebts ...         
when i try to install yatebts 5  with yatebts 6.0.1 still installed ... it doesnt complete with and error of Transciever UHD
