No need special code for XBee, because XBee just using UART. You just do coding for UART transmit and UART receive.
This is example.

shahrul, you throw it away?

I have problem before too, because reloading firmware or upgrading firmware will take time as the firmware is huge, so it communication is not stable, mostly it will corrupt, thus, communication fail.

But there is method to recovered it. Let me search and see....

OK, here you go, the XBee FAQ
