Could you perhaps give us the exact text of the error message?

MATLAB-packaged UHD and GnuRadio-compatible UHD may well have different 
firmware requirements.

Also, the firmware doesn't "take effect" until you power-cycle the device.

Also, you should run "uhd_images_downloader" from the 
Gnuradio-compatible UHD that you may have, which will identify the 
version of the UHD
  library you're running, and download the appropriate firmware into 
your PC.  Once that happens THEN you need to program the FPGA of the USRP
  device with this firmware, and power-cycle.

But again, my understanding is that MATLAB packages their own UHD 
version, so if you want to use both MATLAB and Gnu Radio, you'll be in
  a switching-back-and-forth mode with the firmware.
