Is there a way to check the readiness bit without VAG-COM? After i started flashing my own files vag-com wont connect to the engine controller anymore, it briefly connects sometimes and then errors out before I can get a chance to check readiness.

Is there a say to check it in any other way?

Of course. Read the ram variable.

Log "ready" with ME7L. I think I have outlined the bit layout in the readiness thread.

Thats what im talking about, added it to my list  :)

bit = 0dec = all passed right?

A cleared bit means that the test was passed and cycle flags are set, a set bit means a failed test or cycle flags haven't been set.

Alright, mine shows up as zero even right after I flash a new file. Does the readiness not reset when you flash a new file in there?

Clear the fault codes and then recheck.

This did the trick, my readiness did reset when I cleared the codes. Pretty nice thing it doesnt reset automatic like the adaptions when you flash a new file.

Here is a pic from ross-tech.com showing the bit description:
