is anyone else having an issue downloading the software from nyets link? ive tried on both computers with no luck... any help is appreciated...

not sure why you didn't post the link that isn't working here

?

what error are you seeing?

Clearly I am a duntz.
Also why am I having to download something when I click on my thread… it takes me forever to reply like this.

There is something wrong with the forum software; its not setting the right content type

If that’s not the right file then where is the right file?

I never got an error message… I clicked the install and then almost immediately it said finish.

The last thing it shows before going to finish is removing backup files.

I’ve tried installing on 2 computers and same thing.

youll have to set up your own links to the exe

Brother  it’s like you’re speaking Chinese to me. I have a hard time believing I’m the only person that’s had an issue with this. I’m mean I am down to learn… literally just rebuild my tranny but. This whole posting my own link to exe is on another level… any help would be much appreciated

This is like absolutely basic computer skills. If you can't do this you might just want to throw in the towel now. Really and I'm not kidding you're talking about years and years of self education in order to get any place close to tuning your own car. I'm not trying to be rude, it's just the hard facts. God help us when you need to install the driver's for the $15 China cable...

That day may come but that day,  ain’t today.

Tbh I thought this was gonna be like hp tuners.. where I had to get the software and then learn the tuning process…. My eyes are starting to open now…   I see why apr and the like charge 600$ a pop…. But straight up forget about those companies. I’d say investing back into a community is worth the effort. 

$600 for download a software
Damn boy
Im gona get that shit for 300 for ya

C:\Program Files (x86)\NefMotoECUFlasher is not chinese, broh.

seriously, you're overthinking things.

either that, or you really are way over your head.

Grabbing life by the horns.
My man! Lol

Nefmoto is officially installed. Working on the driver for the cable

grabbing life by the horn.
My man....

so i was able to connect to the ecu, but while doing so i could not change my baud rate. the only option was 104800 ... or something like that... will the option to change the rate open up in another function? or am i missing something?

here was the screen after finding out my spare ecu(that im practicing on ) has an immo ... so here we go learning that step.

The baud rate option is for boot mode only. Baud rate while connecting with kwp1281 protocol is fixed by the ecu at 10400.

Tool won't work in bootmode without some changes, just checked the 95080 datasheet and found differences with 95040 on the 'Read from Memory Array' instruction format.

You are getting your information mixxed up, the info that you are reading is about a command line program and is not directly related to nefmoto flasher. Nefmoto flasher has known bugs immo authentication is one of them and  I'm about 90% sure that disabling the immo will only make the problem worse for port flashing. Your best bet in my opinion is to fork up more then like $15 bucks and get a decent cable like mpps v16 as that has bootmode flash built in. You CAN use your blue cable for boot mode but it involves reflashing the cable with mprog to change the serial number to use with galletto, or patch galletto software with the serial number that's in your current cable. Flashing the calibration file (eprom) is not the same as flashing the 95040 immo (eeprom). Argdub made a command line tool to flash the eeprom and really has nothing to do with the calibration file. Flashing the calibration file can be done thru the port or on the bench in bootmode. While grounding a pin on the ecu it will boot up in programming mode, it requires specific software and nefmoto does not support bootmode. Also, I just want to point out that you may want to get yourself familiar with bootmode flashing as you are 1 incomplete read, one dead battery, one crashed program, one mistakenly unplugged cable away from being stuck in program mode or with a bricked ecu.        

So I’ve got a 30$ Amazon vag/k (commander cable) it was in the thread of known cables tested thread… my galleto cable is on the way… my situation is that I am not starting on my ecu out of a 2000 a6 2.7, so no immo….
I have a spare ecu that I started with and I as able to connect first try… I tried reading it and found that this one had an immo…. So now I’m a the hunt to learn bash or what have you on the terminal…. I am over my head but fuck it. I want to learn… I’ve got my Bench harness made, that’s how everything is set up now… I grounded pin 24  and the prompt for args program came up, the help portion came up but honestly this is where my skill set ends for now….

Forgive this post. I’ll Be surprised if my image comes up. Smh

Some s4 files do not have a immo and if you flash the non immo s4 file to the immo on ecu it will disable the immo from cross flashing. Your engine code is apb so you can use the a box or m box file. Verify your maf as some use bosch and some use hitachi. 

this is a gui for eeprom flasher

(http://file:///C:/Users/Matt/Pictures/screenshot.png)

can someone walk me thru how to post my screenshot.... i am using the Gimp app, downloaded from the thread "how to take a screenshot".

i tried clicking the insert image button above and then copying my image and pasting it , but nothing.

Update....
TBH all of this is overwhelming... i gave up on the immobilizer ecu for now... the command terminal is way over my head..... also that ecu came from an auto car, so im sure ill have to mess with that... and im not totally sure which maf it has.... so ill come back to it....

I decided grab my ecu out of my car, and hooked it up to the bench, flashed it and saved the original file to my desktop... it took me a few hours but finally did a checksums on it!!!!! ( i was so fuckin  pumped)

 now more researching

I deeply appreciate the help guys!



 

ok so my ecu is a

4b0907551k
0 261 206 561        With 2 other sets of numbers... boo9721711590044 and 26sA6432

i have my stock bin file saved. what is next? obtaing a xdf?...
I read somewhere to flash a bosch m box... and that there is one for  over in the community tune thread... but what does that mean. is that like a stock s4 bin, and then i also use the xdf that goes with that bin?

also which one if this is correct do i use...
is it the * 551M Bosch.bin?

 here is the post in the community tune thread...

ok so i back to the ecu with the immobilizer....
this was my attept in bootmode... this is the first step correct? where am i going wrong?
did i not get into bootmode? how are my entries into the command? you can see my adjustment in the second attempt. under my device manager it says my cable is set to port 3.... but also when i go to the advanced setting and try to set it to port 1 and hit ok... i dont see any changes?

Ctrl printscreen button for everything or ctrl alt print screen for the window that is highlighted up the top.  Then open up ms paint and paste.  Save as a jpg.  No real apps needed etc.  But for the most part here anyway always try to grab the text first instead of a screenshot.

me7_95040.exe" --bootmode -r -p 1 95040.bin. If all else fails google exactly what you typed in. 

I kinda got lazy reading the whole thread, but what exactly are you trying to do anyway?

Any chance you could break this down a little bit

I have a spare ecu that I am practicing on… it has an immobiler on it. So trying to immo off using me7eeprom.
I have a bench harness setup for the process.
I can’t seem to read the eeprom, so I guess maybe I haven’t actually entered boot mode.

PLEASE DO NOT POST SCREEN SHOTS

Text is fine. You can always include it in a code bracket like

to preserve whitespace and indenting.

If you flash the 551M bosch file you dont' have to disable immo (other than to flash it without bootmode)

if you have bootmode working you can just flash the M file directly and call it a day (no need to twiddle the eeprom, though you may want to back it up).

OK so i opened up the gui.... man what a tool, for an idiot like myself. ha...

i am using my vag k+CAN cable... is this my problem? my Gaeletto cable will be here in a few hours.

Your problem is assuming that using a GUI makes sense. It doesn't. You still have to know what parameters to pass the program, including the com port.

under my deice manager it says my com port is 3?

Is any other program using the port?  Like Nefmoto flasher?   Pull the usb out and plug it in again. 

no the only thing there the cable

i just installed my galetto cable. and tried boot mode there.. still cant read ecu data. so i fucking something up.

You don't need boot mode to read.  You only need it to write to the ecu.  Go back to the cable that was working with netmofo.  You should know what communication port you were using for that?     It's only a k-line to RS232 comm/usb type cable.  Try typing me7_95040.exe then you can look at the arguments it uses.  Pick the easiest one. 

Use something like termite to check the port actually works as well.   At this point I'm tempted to ask you to download teamviewer...

teamviewer?

to me this is what i would enter to read the ecu. except to change my port ?  right?

id be down with teamviewer... youd be down to help me out... id make it worth your time bro

Yeah I got some time to explain.  Need ID and password.   Make sure your ecu is all set up correctly wiring and power wise. You did do me7 pinout images on google right? and obd pinout on google too?    You can message me if you like with your id and password.   

i followed the instructions to for the bench harness. ITs good to go 

To summarize the issue here.  Using bootcamp on a Mac is a problem for me7eeprom.exe.  And might be an issue for nefmoto flasher too.   Mac bootcamp windows and command prompt for access to communication ports don't agree.  I'm sure there's a way around it (or is there?), but quite honestly XP laptops are cheap and Windows 7 laptops are pretty cheap and work well with most of this stuff given that most of the programs were probably designed on these platforms. 

UPDATE

Was officially able to flash a tune onto the car!!!!

Was getting a databus drivetrain code, so that’s next.

Geomeo I appreciate the help brother . If any other newbie are stuck. I’m willing to offer what little experience I have. Don’t hesitate to ask!

Please make sure to document what you did or suggest changes to existing documentation. Having people help others in private is great, but it does not scale well unless it improves things for everyone else at the same time.

   

so.. after 6 months and a broken timing belt plus a new computer and a refresh of everything i learned the first go around on nefmoto was finally able to take a read on my "practice" ecu that i bailed on the first time around..

i def need to do a recap soo that i can give back to others that might be in my situation...
it literally took me 2 days figuring out how the fuck i installed   nefmoto flasher the first time around on the mac pro. i thought i remembered doing it on the command prompt... SMH

so the question i have now is...

the ecu im working on has just been read in bootmode and the immo has been turned off, me7checked and written back.
the issue is it came from a "tip" car and i have a 6 speed. to be able to use this as a back up do i need to code the ecu from a tip to a 6 speed or do i just flash an mbox onto it?

so the ecu i have i got out of a 2002 a6 2.7 tip with apb motor. had old style ignition packs. also had immobilixer..
ecu 4bo907551 al

i just tried reading an ecu out of my running car (2000 a6 2.7 6 speed and has nef stage 1) and then saved and flashed it to the 02 a6 tip ecu and plugged it in the car and tried connecting with vcds and it will not connect... also has no mil light on cluster...
next i will try finding another bin and try flashing the back up ecu...

i came across this in another post...

Last night I was playing with 4z7 907 551 M ECU (allroad model for auto tranny) and it was not possible to change coding from Tip to 6 speed in Vag-Com...

I flashed with S4 M box file and the tiptronic coding remained and I was still not able to change it... I don't know what practical implications of this are but I wasn't feeling warm and fuzzy about it.

The workaround I found was to flash it with allroad 4z7 907 551 (no letter) ECU for 6 speed, then the ECU allowed re-coding to 6 speed. I then flashed it with S4 M box again and the coding was now for manual car...

Next step will be to take this ECU with S4 M-box and install in my allroad to see if immobilizer throws a fit, but seeing how my maestro S4 tune they flash to all APB engines works just fine, I should be ok

How do you know what file you use to flash over a particular ecu?
Is it from experience or is there a way to tell if the bin and ecu are compatible?
