can i install NEXT FIRMWARE IN  icom A

No, the hardware is different. You need to use the correct firmware for the ICOM you have. Keep in mind that Chinese ICOM Next clone actually uses A2 hardware.

What is your objective?

i am trying to program the ccc on a e60 but it says i need latest next software to program. i tried using next software and the after the icom address it says firmware

With the latest firmware, an ICOM A will work just as well. But for E-series you need ISTA-P for programming.
Just make very sure that you are using the MOST adapter!

Well, Yes and (frequently) NO smile Yes if it is a clone of ICOM AT ALL. NO if is it VxDiag in an ICOM case (as it happens VERY FREQUENTLY).

Assuming yes - THERE ARE NO ICOM NEXT clones. You still got ICOM A clone and should use ICOM A firmware.
