the same happens to me!
I have a cable that stayed stuck for years, when I went to use again it did not work.
As I installed on a new pc I distrusted a driver or something.
But even returned and capturing the driver that came in the mini cd, nothing would.
I lost a lot of time with it trying to boot mode on a 06a906032hp, at last I ended up removing the memory and writing directly to it.
When I made the car run I went to test the damn gallet and found that I could not boot mode because it was not working. It does not connect to the ECU and did not give any messages.
