I have installed 1260 and re serielized my ftdi cable to match via mprog. Thanks to ddillenger’s walk through for help with that.
Now when I start galetto, without being connected to the car and plug in the ftdi dongle it asks me to install drivers, which I do from galetto, I now see an ftdi ft8u2xx device in device manager. All good So Far?
Next I run galetto and get to the main screen.
It says connected at the top mid screen.
Manufacturer: Audi
ECU: Audi VW ME 7xx29f400bb (ground pin 24)

But there are other ecu choices. Under Benzina there is another Audi 29f400bb, but without saying ground eeprom.
My question is which one will allow rewriting without forcing boot mode?

And do I simple rewrite using galetto with the last known good bin file like I would with nefmoto?
Sorry for asking all this, but I have found only tertiary walk throughs for galetto so far tonight and am getting a little cross eyed..
Leary of plugging the laptop back in until I know a bit more about using galetto..
Thanks.

Is there a specific reason for not wanting to remove and open ECU?

Only that it’s untouched. I was able to flash this one with nefmoto originally and every time, right up until I flashed yesterday’s that failed.
I will try to reflash in place today with Galletto. Assuming the non boot mode ecu selection is the one to try first. Was reading and reviewing late last night.
Failing that, I will pull trim and try to gain access to it properly to ground the pin..
Need to get this thing running again..
Thanks.

Ok, galetto shows connected at the top of its window,  not device active as I see on some walk through videos.
I select read ecu it tells me to cycle ignition which I do, then galetto hangs. Get the hour glass, but no percentage of read occurs. Wait a few minutes, nothing changes. Have to power down the laptop to recover.
I’m going to pull my ecu covers off and try to boot flash it.
I was hoping to verify connection via the dongle, communication wise before committing to pulling the ecu covers but maybe it is hanging because of the corrupt bin file currently installed?
As mentioned, I have installed the drivers that came with galetto to my laptop, and changed the serial number of the dongle to match galetto.
When I start the galetto program I get the ‘connected’ message at the top, whether the dongle is connected or not, so I am still not sure I have an actual connection to the car..
Thanks.

Just thinking out loud still, but if I was to pull an ecu from a 2000 similar ATW car, would it be plug and play or did the 2000s have the IMMO and security features as well?
Once I have an accesssible ecu, I will be able to recover with nefmoto, it’s the boot mode issue that has me stymied at the moment.
Thanks gents.

Pulled my trim and popped the cover to access the ecu. Wasn’t as hard as I feared.
Now to pull the battery neg, get my jumper all set up and force boot mode.
From more reading I have seen some use nefmoto to check connection after getting into boot mode. Then they run either galetto or MPPS to perform the flash.
I have both installed but have not run either successfully before.
The dongle I use for nefmoto is a vag-kkl but the one I reserielaized is a different dongle so as to not spoil the settings on the one that worked wit nefmoto. It’s still an ft232r chipset, just a different cable.
How can I validate obd connection prior to committing to writing the bin once in boot mode?
Thanks gents.

To test my lead(s) I connected nefmoto to my converted Corrado and was able to read the ecu with both cables.
The Kkl cable showed as a ft232r  device and the one I reprogrammed with the galetto s.n. shows up as a usb<->serial cable within nefmoto.
Both were able to successfully connect in kwp1281 and kwp2000 sessions.
So I believe that I should be able to connect with galetto but am still not sure why it hung the first time I tried to connect it to the bricked ecu, unless due to the corrupted file it hangs unless I’m in boot mode..
Hope this ongoing relearning dialogue helps others. I am a big advocate of follow up on tech boards and try to share my failures and victories along the way.
Cheers, and thanks for any tips from those experienced with these self inflicted woes..
Mike.

You are correct. Galleto will hang if you aren't in bootmode. Its happened to me before. You are really close now, flash away once you get bootmode.

Audi runs once more..
Thanks gents. Back to a working bin file.
Now to hopefully remove the sai code that started this whole saga. One more day in November to get my clean air done
 Not sure if the 2000 has MSLUB (0x1A698), and MSLBAS (0x183CC) to rewrite to 0.
Think if I just force CDSLS to 0 it’ll show unsupported and that could still cause a failure.
Worst case, I time my inspection between cat passing and while sai still shows not ready.
Think you can have two not ready and still pass..

Thanks again for following along.
Cheers..
