Using my spare ecu I ran nefmoto, connected, verified the memory layout ok 29f800bt, read the ecu and saved the .bin file no problems. Then I loaded the mapped file and started to write the file. Everything went fine, until it got to 100% then said there was an error and memory maps didn't match! I started the car and it worked fine, but when I switched off and tried to start again it wouldn't just dead! I have galletto to bootmode it on the bench but any ideas why this happened?

The same file worked fine on another ECU, and is still running,flashed ok and I know the checksums are fine. I started the car out of interest to see whether the software was telling the truth :-)... Just seemed odd.

Who's file? Only one I know of that likes to move the maps around..

I managed to connect to the ecu after removing power to the ecu for about an hour. I first used vagcom and then nef moto. The problem I then had was when I tried to connect the ecu on the bench with nefmoto as the software didn't like the fact the immo was there. However after a little trial and error I managed with out problem to connect in bootmode with Galletto, jumping pin 24 to the ground around the outside of the pcb.
