I am trying to download the bin from my GIAC X chipped L box. However, I only get the results below. This is after about an hour with no progress. I had to use Task Manager to close the program. I say chipped because it actually has the chip soldered in. Am I doing something wrong or is it the chip that is preventing me from pulling the bin. I have also attached the log file, but I don't think it will help much. Any help will be much appreciated. I have a stock J box that I will try, but I wanted to compare the GIAC tune to the stock L box bin that I have. I am using the JHM (ebay) vag cable and running Windows Vista. I tried "Read Info" and "Read Flash" with the same results.

I posted an update in my other thread, but I just wanted to say again that the NefMoto flasher is awesome. 

i used this application today for the first time. first thing is thanks. 

i wanted to make 2 points though. well, 1 point and 1 question.

first point: several times the program would error when it was finished writing. as in, it would write 100% then say there was an error writing and disconnect. it did this several times. each time it flashed correct because the ecu would boot ok (dtc light came on) and the engine would start. the last time it did it i was away from the laptop and the last % on the screen was 94%, so i dont know if it made it to 100% but the car still started. im assuming it finished considering the chksum in the 2nd to last line of the file.

and then my question. when you select a file to flash, does it load this file in to a buffer or does it read directly from the file each time? what im trying to ask is, if i had a file on the desktop, example.bin, i select that file to flash and i flash the ecu. then i overwrite that file with a new file, still named example.bin, must i reselect the file because the old file is still in the buffer or will it read the new file i created? im assuming it loads the file in to buffer. im asking because i think i flashed the same file twice today. :p even though i had overwritten the old file with a new file.

again, thanks for all your work.

i have a file to flash tomorrow (wont be the only one im sure). if i encounter any more of the write error messages i will attach the log file.

thanks for your support. 

here is a log file. i did 1 read and a dozen or so writes today. only 2 errors i think. one crashed after only 8% or so. that was the last log. i had to take the ecu out and bootpin flash it. i cut the log file down to where it was just the last write that crashed, the file was 21mb.

As far as I know, you are the first person to test on an ME7.5. The log file just seems to end abruptly, was there any more to the log that what you posted?

As long as you have .NET 3.5 installed, the program should run. If you install something like WinICE that is a kernel mode debugger, or try to attach a debugger to the program, then it will not run. That is all I can think of off the top of my head. I will try to add some more logging to the program startup that could help us track this down.

tell me exactly what update you mean and I can help you telling howto uninstall.
if you mean Version 3.5 SP1 of the .NET Framework, it is already shipped with Windows 7....?

nope. didnt touch a thing. it just stopped flashing.

btw, any plans for a linux based flasher? my macbook is the only laptop i have with a good battery and i run ubuntu linux on it via bootcamp. id love to be able to flash from that. ive been using my wifes laptop and it lasts a whopping 30 minutes on the battery.
