Hi all,

I've been trying to bootmode flash my ECU with a lot of guidance from adam on here (thanks to him for that). I have 13.5v approx supplied to the ECU but keep getting the 'bootmode inactive' message when i try to write the file with galletto. I'm using the EOBD 1260 cable also with the FTDI VCP drivers. I have also uninstalled the VCDS drivers on my computer as i heard they may conflict.

the ECU is:

ME7.5 06A 906 032 TL
29F800BB
Infineon chip

i have successfully managed to re-flash the EEPROM using the Argdub tool with my FTDI cable but so far have had no luck with galletto. Nefmoto will still read ECU info when i remove the 10k resistor i have used to get the ECU into bootmode. I'm using windows vista also.

If I've not given enough info but if not please let me know - I hope someone may be able to shed some light on this issue for me

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! I found that thread earlier and managed to edit the .exe so it would look for my FTDI cable rather than the galletto one. Unfortunately it was the same problem, it showed bootmode inactive. I'm really not sure what may be causing this now?

How are you trying to get bootmode?

You could only flash eeprom if in bootmode, so, at least, you got bootmode 1 time.

If ME7.5 is like ME7.1 you should only ground pin 24 when turning power on then few seconds later let go.

Verify bootmode with FT232RL cable and Nefmoto.  It'll confirm bootmode, but not allow you to do anything.

The problem is now sorted! ECU successfully flashed with galletto. I uninstalled all the FTDI drivers from the computer as that's what the galletto cable kept deciding to use. With the galletto drivers installed the cable came under USB controllers rather than com ports which is what tripped me up as i assumed this wasn't right. After i installed the galletto drivers and tried it as is... it flashed first time.

ECU is now back on the car hopefully this may help a fellow noob in the future. Thanks for all the help!
