Got Chinese Galletto V54 off ebay hoping it will work with MED17.5.2. Want to read the ECU from a 2013 CC. After soldering resistors to the bootmode spots I connect with Galletto...it connects successfully but upon trying to read flash it tells me flash is protected, need to use TPROT. So I remove resistors for TPROT as per instructions and replace ignition wires with red wires. TPROT tries to connect for a while then says no password for my ECU!

Can this be fixed with newer cracked Galletto software, if such a thing exists? It's my mom's car so spending thousands on legit tools isn't really an option.

The only reason older ECUs have any support at all is because one or two people (setzi, prj, tony) went through the trouble to make working (free) tools available..

did you read the op? that is 100% why it doesnt work. the op's cracked version doesnt have the correct BL pass for the ecu hes trying to read or doesnt have the correct protocol and cant access it.
again, no sympathy. pay someone with proper tools or pony up and spend the $ on proper tools for your/him-self.

Might try this one.

If I were to get a real master tool, which one is best for basic uses with all tricore?

That product is 4000 euros. There's got to be a less expensive way to do tricore.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm looking for recommendations on non-exorbitant legitimate master tools. For example used K-TAG can be purchased about $2000. Aside from the fact that's still very expensive, it's a lot less than 4000 euros. Any reason not to consider a legit K-TAG?

k-tag is a nice tool. local guy has one.
ktag is protocol by protocol or full activation of protocols. also a sub is required for updates.
