Title: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU. Post by: guy1195 on September 24, 2021, 02:05:59 PM Apologies if this is the wrong sub, I thought if it was a NefMoto software issue then it may be best here!
I have an FTDI cable from eBay and it works fine with VCDS and NefMoto for reading ECU info and reading/clearing DTCs. I believe it is the 8E0909518AS based off my screenshot of 'Read ECU Info' but please correct me if wrong so I know which number to look for in future! When trying to do a Full Read Flash I'm encountering a 'security access is not granted' error. This is whilst the ecu is in the original car, with clocks etc. Completely stock vehicle runs and drives currently. 24/Sep/2021 06:36:17.640: LOG: Received negative response for service ID: RequestUpload, with response code: SecurityAccessDenied_SecurityAccessRequested 24/Sep/2021 06:36:17.640: USER: Validation failed, ECU reports that security access is not granted. I have managed to find a few other posts saying that a model number similar this is problematic, and people using older versions of nefmoto with success? Not sure on that though and haven't tried that so far. I have attached the log albeit it is rather large, it has a few attempts of me trying to read the data, switching baud rate and the Memory Layout (can't say i have tried them all, Although I have seen someone say 29F800BT worked for them). Hopefully I can try a few suggestions from you chaps before pulling out the ecu and trying bootmode etc (this is all new to me, but I'm reading as fast as i can haha!) Only reason I'm wanting to try read this is to try log some data with VisualME7Logger but i believe i need the ecu bin file first? the vehicle is dog slow and I have a feeling it is due to something similar to this post: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=13818.msg112291#msg112291 (http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=13818.msg112291#msg112291) Title: Re: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU.

Post by: guy1195 on September 25, 2021, 02:52:24 AM You only need a stock bin to find locations To be honest I've done a search on here for that same ECU code, but there isn't really that many posts for it! I wasn't sure if there was other ones that were compatible, but even if I manage to find a compatible stock bin, I still won't be able to use the logger with my current issues anyway will I? Or does that just use the usual obd diagnostic protocol? Title: Re: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU. Post by: guy1195 on September 25, 2021, 02:53:46 AM MPPS clone can read your ECU Is that with the ecu on the bench in bootmode or will the MPPS clone be able to read it in situ via obd? Is this compatible with Nefmoto Flasher? I'll do some research now as I haven't got as far as bootmode flashing yet, the physical side is no issue, just unsure on compatible devices/software etc. Title: Re: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU.

I'll do some research now as I haven't got as far as bootmode flashing yet, the physical side is no issue, just unsure on compatible devices/software etc. Through OBD, honestly MPPS is just straight up better, flashed and read my ecus over 100+ times by now probably with no issues.

I will look into it, it's probably the only Audi I will ever purchase, and can't imagine keeping it for very long so don't really want to invest in any expensive cables. Nefmoto was attractive because it's free and generic cables can be had cheap. Wouldn't want to get Boo'd by people and not given support by chaps on here etc if I purchased an MPPS clone.

Set memory layout to ME7 29F800BT.MemoryLayout Ticked the last 2 boxes in KWP2000 settings for Security Use Extended Seed Request and Security Support Special Key as I found a post mentioning this. Slow init connect initially on 38k or 52k baud(cant remember specifically) lowered to 9600 and then did a full read flash. The read got to 3% and then failed, the car now has a P0602 Status: 0x68 Control Module Programming Error/Malfunction DTC. After this the car no longer starts but i can still connect, read/clear dtcs but when trying to read ecu flash again I'm just getting security errors again. I have found the following posts which seem to have solutions to the problem, even listing the same ecu number of '8E0909518AS' by the looks of it, but this fix requires modifying the original bin and reflashing it, but i can't get a good 100% read from the ecu and dont seem to be able to find a matching original bin file. Not sure if i should just keep spamming it trying to get a full read or if it will cause more harm... http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=6719.0 http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=981.0 This chap seemed to fix the problem, but the fixed bin was from a me7.1.1 and i'm not sure what version ecu i have. I need to pull it out and check really but its a bit too late atm to start. http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=1845.0 Quote 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.552: USER: Successfully changed to new communication timings. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.552: USER: Requesting security access. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.555: LOG: Sent message with service ID SecurityAccess 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.595: LOG: Received message with service ID: SecurityAccessPositiveResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.596: LOG: Received security seed, sending security key. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.599: LOG: Sent message with service ID SecurityAccess 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.627: LOG: Received message with service ID: SecurityAccessPositiveResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.628: USER: Security access granted. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.628: USER: Validating flash memory starts at 0x00800000 and ends at 0x00900000. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.631: LOG: Sent message with service ID RequestUpload 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.662: LOG: Received message with service ID: RequestUploadPositiveResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.663: LOG: Flash start and end addresses are valid. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.665: LOG: Sent message with service ID RequestUpload 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.692: LOG: Received message with service ID: NegativeResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.692: LOG: Received negative response for service ID: RequestUpload, with response code: CanNotUploadFromSpecifiedAddress 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.692: LOG: Flash start address is the lowest address. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.695: LOG: Sent message with service ID RequestUpload 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.722: LOG: Received message with service ID: NegativeResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.722: LOG: Received negative response for service ID: RequestUpload, with response code: CanNotUploadNumberOfBytesRequested 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.722: LOG: Flash end address is the highest address. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.722: LOG: Flash memory addresses are valid. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.723: USER: Memory layout is valid. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.723: USER: Starting to read data block. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.723: USER: Requesting upload from ECU for address range 0x00800000 to 0x0080FFFF. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.725: LOG: Sent message with service ID RequestUpload 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.752: LOG: Received message with service ID: RequestUploadPositiveResponse 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.752: USER: Request upload from ECU succeeded. 25/Sep/2021 06:16:04.754: USER: Starting data transfer.

Ecu is stuck in programming mode, sometimes you can write the original file back and it will clear the issue. Otherwise youll need to patch the file to fix the problem or flash another software version that doesnt have this issue.

I'm not trying to modify anything yet so far. I will happily make the changes made in that post and reflash once i can get the original bin off there, but until i manage to get a 100% read, i wouldn't even want to try doing a write with someone else's bin. I cant seem to find much info on this software version 8E0909518AS, and i am unsure of other compatible versions. Is there specific limitations to cross flashing, or is it just what is tried and tested before? Using BB i always got the 'memory layout validation failed', but with BT i have managed to get a 3% read so far... Should i go back to trying to get BB working, different baud rates maybe?

Post by: guy1195 on September 25, 2021, 11:51:51 AM Couldn't resist, went out again and tried to read a few more times with BB, even tried to downgrade to NM Flasher 1.9.1.2 which someone said they had success with, however still no luck.

If the ecu was previously tuned you wont be able to get a read off of it if the tuner locked it. Really your options at this point are to find another original file to try and write back or use some other higher level flashing tools and or bootmode flash it with another file.

If you have teamviewer I may be able to help get you back up and going In all honesty I don't know if it is for sure, it's a completely stock car previously owned by an old man haha, never mentioned it being previously flashed and I don't think it will have been. Would the cable I purchased here be able to bootmode flash or is the special Galetto/MPPS cable mandatory for bootmode flashing? If I'm able to pull the ECU and bootmode to read the EEPROM, could there be any signs in there that the main memory has been flashed? Or do you think with bootmode i'd be able to just read the flash straight away, unless someone has previously flashed it with some weird code to stop this happening? Or would bootmode override that code? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322624482783 Title: Re: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU.

I've got Galletto software working with my ftdi cable by the looks of it after using the guide found on here, not tried it with the ECU yet but it picks up my cable anyway. I'm hoping i can just pop the top off the ecu and leave it in the car and program via obd whilst in bootmode? What differs with the MPPS cable? Do you still use NM flasher or is it the software that makes the difference when reading via obd without bootmode? Cheers all for the help also, annoyingly seems like I have purchased the most awkward 1.8t known to man haha! Title: Re: Audi A4 1.8T 2004 BEX - 8E0909518AS - Unable to read flash from ECU. Post by: guy1195 on September 26, 2021, 05:14:31 AM Well, just soldered a wire to pin 24 and grounded it whilst connecting the battery terminal and key to ign, the engine fan comes on at full speed and nefmoto flasher doesnt seem to be able to connect to it.. Going to just try galletto/eeprom tools straight away but no idea why the fan comes on at full pelt lol

I flashed back the eeprom with immo disabled via me7logger eeprom tools. Unable to get a successful read of the ecu using nefmoto flasher even after disabling immo, i will stick to just using galletto as it has been 100% so far. Bootmode is a PITA though would be nice if NM Flasher worked. Now i just need to try implement the following fix: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=6719.0 But i can't seem to find a hex editor with the wildcard search mentioned in that post, and i'm not about to purchase winols anytime soon.

https://github.com/digitalw0lf/hextor/releases/tag/v0.11 Found only 1 instance of it at 0006B588. Hopefully just edit that and correct checksum, and it will start.

Steps taken: Read the main ecu flash and eeprom file from ecu using galletto proper english version and ftdi cable with exe modified, whilst in bootmode. Disabled the immo using me7logger eeprom tools and wrote those changes back. (not sure if this made a difference, i was hoping it would make nefmoto flasher work but it didnt, still gettting security errors) modified the bin file using hextor from github with the search string mentioned in http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=6719.0 corrected checksums using me7sum and saved to new bin file wrote new modified bin file to ecu using galletto in bootmode as above car starts again and hopefully now the fun can begin with trying to make a definition file for the original ecu bin and making datalogs/tunes etc for it. i will post my original bin file and modified file over in the bin section as i struggled to find an original one(if i ended up needing it, luckily i didnt) for my exact software version etc. Massive props to you all for making and maintaining these tools over the years, and all the information available here. It's insane. I was literally so close to just making a pnp standalone ecu for it and sacking off the stock ecu, but for now she stays!
