Boot mode is almost like desoldering the chip and then writing it in a programmer to give you an idea.
Basically with boot mode you upload a custom program into the ECU memory to turn your ECU into a chip programmer.
That's all it is at that point, there's absolutely nothing else running on it.
All of the seed keys and so on are a software level feature, when you are programming over protocol with the OS running, so naturally just like they are not needed with a programmer they are also not needed with boot mode.

China galletto is picky with voltage.
13~v at about 1.5Amps seems to be my cables sweet spot.

Forget china galletto and ME7 altogether basically. And yes, most of them have issues with everything  You have to replace half the chips and some resistors on the board to get them to work at all. But even then, writing most ME7 over OBD or over boot does not work. Just buy original tool, it's not worth it to mess around with these things if you are remotely serious about tuning. |

as long as I am flashing only my own cars, I do not really consider to spend some thousand euros for a single flash tool. sorry.
And I do not complain, I know: you get what you pay for.
I did realize there are many many mods of replacing half of the parts of china tool, but up to that point of time I had only success with at least reading over CAN.

Actually everything works on that china tool once you replace the required components.
But, Boot mode ME7 and most ME7 over K-Line does not work.
Don't ask me why, probably was broken in the original version of the tool that got cloned and is fixed in a newer update...
No tool is perfect though. Even original tools have some quirks here and there. I currently use the full Magpro system and I am quite happy with it so far.

Yesterday I just fixed my ME7 ECU by using another china galletto that worked with k-line boot mode. Tested all combinations of st10-flash read, external 1MB read/write. Worked fine and very fast (3 min.)
will ship back the other unit to repair, will be curious and report.

Hi what program did you use to read the different combinations ?? |

It shouldn't matter. A more powerful supply should not supply more current than is required to run whatever it is you are running. You should be able to hook up a 10000000000A supply, it it shouldn't break anything.
if you are depending on the current limit of your power supply to prevent you from melting something, you are doing something very very very wrong.

This was my understanding as well. |
