I tried using nef software yesterday to no avail. There are logs attached here. I have a hunch it may be my generic ebay cable. I am going to try today with genuine rosstech vcds cable in dumb mode and see how it goes. I thought someone could have a look at the log and see if I'm doing something wrong. I tried a few times, and it seemed to be working, and then it would fail  Thanks guys. |

Ok, Rosstech cable read it great! 100%. It made 1024 size file. This may be a stupid ?, but how do I open it. It doesn't seem to open direct into winols. Thanks.
Edit: I'm computer dumb. I can't figure out how to open this in Winols. Someone help? What am I doing wrong?
Edit2: Nevermind, I got it. User error, lol. I'm still not sure why it doesn't save it as a bin.file? At least all the other bins I have say bin after them. This says "8 file". Can anybody clue me in why?

add the .bin after the file name. you named it a '.8' file by not using an extension  |

I think new users should be warned that there is a possibility of bricking your ECU while writing, and should have access to a bench harness or an in car boot mode method, be prepared to remove your ECU if it goes bad, etc. Especially if it is your daily. Saying that there are no known issues isn't really fair, I get a bad flash and wind up on the bench 5-10% of the time.

I think the "bricked" ecu has nothing to do with nefmoto software. In contraire i think that it helps recover from stupid checksum errors and many more. The software is not responsible for cheap - crap china cables nor for low battery voltage etc. This is common for every software i have ever encounter. Also if you consider the money you are paying (0$) i think it is great. Finaly think that messing with ecu software and hardware always has the possibility of errors since it is for hobby use and is not for everyone especially the ones who don't want to risk. No pain no gain. I locked my ecu twise and i had to pay 100euro each time to unlock, before i was able to find all the "tricks" to do it right. My mistake both times.

One of the main reasons the NefMoto software is free, is because ultimately the responsibility of properly flashing the ECU rests with the user. Everyone wants to use their $5 eBay USB cables and flash their ECUs with a half dead car battery, as well as using BINs that don't match their ECU or have bad checksums.
But ultimately there should be more warning for new users that problems can occur when flashing your ECU.

Tony: stupid question. Is there a way to convince the ECU to let you send the flash standard CFI or AMD ident queries? You know... to autodetect flash layout...

Tony,
C box still doesn't want to play ball. Has anyone else reported success with C box? I can read it fine OBD with MPPS.

As far as I know, there is no way to detect the memory layout using KWP2000 or KWP1281. You can do it in boot mode with custom code though, by sending command instructions to the flash memory chip. C box still doesn't want to play ball. Has anyone else reported success with C box? I can read it fine OBD with MPPS.
Do you know if MPPS uses KWP2000 or KWP1281? What part of the process fails? Does it connect? |

I believe MPPS uses 1281 to connect and then usually switches to 2000 for faster flashing. |

Tony,
with the C box MPPS tries to connect, then says mode not supported. It then asks you to cycle the ignition and reconnects, so it must be switching protocols.
