Hey guys, any help coding the ecu or flashing new software  for the manual conversion would be appreciated. I’d be willing to pay for your services.

My little experience flashing me7.1 has no rein on me7.1.1, but would like to learn. 

If you’re interested please reach out. Thanks !

this project might be dead already... went to read the ecu over bench and cant even connect nef to it.wondering if this ecu is not supported..

I apologize, should have made sure this ecu was supported by Nef first.

I found this from another thread.


me7info does not support st10, period. It is a totally different CPU.

Even worse, its closed source abandonware.

There are other tools sitting in the nef repo, particularly the swiss army knife tool that could be adapted to st10

Countless tools that exist that can read and write that car thru the port without a problem. Worse case you could use your nefmoto compatible cable and galletto to read it out in boot mode like any other me7 ecu. Sometimes you need to invest more than $15 bucks in flashing hardware.

Just read an all road me7.1.1 with Galletto in boot mode on the bench no problem.
Figured I give that a test run before I screw something up with the b7 s4 ecu.
After a succeful read on the allroad i had no luck with the b7.
What am I doing wrong here ?

Just read a b6 s4 ecu so I know something else needs to be done.

The b7 most likely has a watchdog that needs to be shorted to allow it to go into boot mode. See picture

Again, you can invest more money in tooling and not have to do such sketch stuff. Also, having a proper ecu probes helps when having to jump out solder pads on an ecu. You do not need to use the 1k ohm resistor, you can jump it out directly, done all of this 15+ years ago before investing in real tools, it does work. Nut up.

The boot pin is the one that needs to be shorted on powerup like any other me7 ecu that you have done in the past. You can do it directly off the am29f800 or you can do it from the solder pad in the picture. The other one is showing the cnf1 (watchdog) that needs to be shorted in order to put the ecu in boot mode. The picture is originally from ktag instructions that has automated cnf1 watchdog bypass. You do not have this luxury and needs to be done manually. Cnf1 needs to stay jumped out for the entire reading / writing process. You still need to do the normal boot pin procedure on power up too.   Sequenced correctly you will be able to read out the ecu with galletto

trying to digest this. jumped out meaning, those 4 solder points to the right need to have a wire soldered to them and then connected together? and for the boot bin needs to be grounded aalong with pin 24 on startup?
 how far off am i ?
