MSS6x Flasher - Now released!

[terra]

Hi, I see this question has been asked before (but as far as I can find hasn't been answered).

This seems like a great tool! I'm wondering if it's possible to use an ICOM instead of a K+DCAN cable (I have both but my K+DCAN cable is from one stop electronics).

Since normally flashing an ICOM with WinKFP etc. is considered to be safer... I would prefer this option if recommended. Do you have any experience with using an ICOM with your tool? And with your latest update the "Port setting" in the config file should be changed, right?

Unfortunately no ICOM support since EdiabasLib doesn't support ICOM.

You should be able to leave the port setting alone unless you have multiple FTDI devices connected at the same time.

Hello , first of all thank you for this amazing app, i was able to read full data out of my damaged mss60 . Question , if i write this full data to other dme with same part number will it be full clone of my dme ?

No the truly individual data is untouched. It's just the program that would be rewritten. You'd need a BDM tool to do the rest.

i have a problem with mss65

I need more information. What steps did you take, what cable do you have, are you using the latest version?

Did you figure it out? In the posts above with my mss60, I had to reflash the ECU in WinKFP. I've not yet re-attempted flashing (RSA Bypass) on version 1.0.0.3 yet.

Are there any limits to number of times you can flash a MSS6x ecu?

There's a limited number of UIF writes, but that doesn't apply here. Otherwise it's just the physical limits of the flash itself (which will be on the order of 100k writes)

Yeah I think the new version is worth a try. Seems like using the ftdi driver is a bit more stable for flashing.

Thanks! Will try again then with the new version as soon as I can. Thanks for your help and guidance on this.

Thanks Terra for your response. It reflashed in WinKFP. I should note that I was using version 1.0.0.2. Should I update to 1.0.0.3 and try again flashing the RSA bypass fast?

Does the dme respond at all in tool32 or inpa or WinKFP? If so try reflashing with WinKFP. I’d just use the update function - it’ll figure out the VIN and such from there on its own.

If it doesn’t send me the backup file you made and I’ll clone it onto my dme and overnight that to you.

I don’t think it is bricked if it got to the step you’re at.
