Hey there.
I recently flashed my spare ECU from
8E0909518F to
8E0909518AK
I used a KWP2000+

The flash finished ok. But once done there was no communication.
I am trying to flash in BOOT MODE with a Galletto 1260
But can't get into boot mode.

Any idea if I am screwed here or is there hope?

No matter how badly the flash went, boot mode should always work

I will try again tonight, with a different power supply.

Is there an alternate pin to ground on the back of the PCB?
I think I saw someone grounding a NEC chip on the back?

OK so I can get into boot mode. I used ArgDub's me795040 tool (in boot mode) to read the eeprom and the file matches the one before I did the flash.

Galletto 1260 continues to say "boot mode inactive" even though I now know it is in boot mode.

Must be a driver or OS problem? Windows 7 32bit. I tried compatibility mode to xp SP3.
Any suggestions?

Update...

I can get into boot mode and have a steady 14V with a charger hooked up.

The following happens.
Seed key OK.
Erasing ok
writing writing failed. (the percent bar does not move at all)

This happens with bot original F box file and the AK box file I was trying to flash.
..................................
Try to read ECU data.
reading ECU data .. Error DATAECU

I am now lost and dont know where to turn.Huh

-Fresh install if windows 7 32bit.
-Fresh install of galletto
-Constant 14v with a charger set up
-successful boot mode


Tried a random AF box file I had and it took it.
Im now going to try to put the original F box file back on.

Solved.
14V is too much for a china galletto.
12.5 seems fine.
Works every time now.

The 518F is an '02 and the 518AK is 03-04?

The bootloaders is different between these years, 02 had the earlier one and 03+ the later bootloader.

On the me7.5 f-box how are you physically putting the ecu in boot mode?  Is it a similar process as the me7's?... (Open ecu, pin 24... Etc?)

Mine is bricked i have an '02 f-box and trying to figure it out.

I have a kwp2000+ tool, is that going to work or is it required to have the galletto for boot mode?

It is the exact same process. Pin24 to ground, power ecu, remove pin24 from ground.

Have you done it on anme7.5?

And how about cable and sw requirements?  I have a generic cable and also the kwp2000+ setup. 

Edit* ... There are some differences between the 2 ecu's
