Check the device IDs on your ftdi cable, I had my cable 'killed' after the problem was apparently over, see my post here: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=7101.msg67570#msg67570If the device ID on your cable has been set to 0x0000 then you need to change it back to 0x6001 using linux. Then disable windows update for drivers and delete the drivers from windows: run 'pnputil -e > tmp.txt' to get a dump of all the drivers installed on your system. Grep it for 'FTDI' and do 'pnputil -f -d oem<number>.inf to delete each of them in turn, then use the drivers that daz recommended to install. |

Ok I'm deffinatly going to delete all the drivers I've also got a win 7 32 bit machine to use. What are you using to edit the pid of the cable in Linux? I've got a bunch of Ubuntu disks floating around so I'll give it a check to see if windows played with it.

I followed the instructions here, running a fairly old copy of Ubuntu - have heard that newer linux drivers will also brick, but cant confirm this. http://www.minipwner.com/index.php/unbrickftdi000 |

Well the cable had deffinatly been changed so I switched it all back and it started working still having a hell of a time getting into bootmode. I have 13.5 volts off a battery to run with, I've connected 12V to my cable, pin 63, and pin 21. Ground is connected to pins 1 and 2 as well as the cable. K-line is on 43. I have a switch connected to pin 3 to simulate ignition. I am grounding pin 24 with a 1k resistor and then turning on ignition while holding the pin for aprox 5 sec after flipping the switch. Each time I am getting a bootmode inactive in galletto. Is there something that is popping out as wrong here? Further is there a tuner that would could be recomended in Ontario to possibly fix this for me? If I can't figure this out after a bit more fiddling I'll have to figure out a plan b as a week without a car is enough makes commuting interesting.
Cheers

You're definitely bricked? You cannot connect with the ecu installed?

Vcds fails to see it in car and nefmoto can't connect either even at different baud rates

Best bet may be to grab a new one off of Ebay, there's one on there now for $100/free shipping. I never was able to get this ecu into bootmode, either, although others have. |

Yea picked up a new one for 150 from a local wrecker just a little apprehensive about the immo. There's two more for 100 each so I'll probably pick one of them up to play with

In for a penny, in for a pound... a Willem GQ-X3 or X-4 and test clip works great in situ to immo-off and no need to worry about bootmode. Just a thought. |

Can anyone post success stories with getting me7.1.1 ecus into bootmode and anything special they did to do so?

My story:
I have been successful getting ecus into bootmode.
My method:
I ground the bootpin and power the ecu up.
But seriously, what are you hoping for? Get your drivers and hardware working properly, and it'll work as it does with every other ecu.

I already sorted out the drivers and in terms of what I am hoping for it seems that through reading on these forums as well as others me7.1.1 ecus don't go into bootmode as easily as the me7.1s. Simple things live voltage and resistors on the ground pin varying from 1k to 5k resistance have done the trick for others. The more tricks I can try the better. I just got an ic pin clamp to facilitate the grounding so I'll see how that goes with the new ecu. The original ecu might be dead as its unresponsive to vcds as well as basic obd2 pings

There is no trick needed on that ecu. Just ground the pin as you power the ecu up. |

I could never get this one (to be clear, 551R running 551S software) into bootmode, either. Tried every trick identified at the time (2012).
