Thank you!
I will try it after NY holidays.
As I understood:
1. load up stock ROM in "alt. flash recovery mode"
2. turn ign OFF
3. turn off "alt. flash recovery mode"
4. wait 15 sec
5. turn ign ON
6. QUICKLY do the "Exit programming mode"
7. try start engine
right?

 

replace #1 with #3

in between #6 and #7 - wait for ECU flash to finish, and hopefully the fans will turn off - then you can IGN off for another couple of seconds before trying to start

 

Unfortunatly, it doesnt flash without "recovery mode"
Is it possible to flash in "recovery mode"?
Does It need turn ignition OFF before to be flashed? I always tryed flash/read with ignition ON.

 

hold on - i thought you couldn't flash?

put the original ROM back on (or at least the same ROMID)...

 

It could be flashed in "alt recovery mode", without this mode it couldnt be flashed.
I flashed with 52360016 rom (I dont have another ROM), and nothing new happend, still same problem.

 

ok try this:

1. turn off "alt. flash recovery mode"
2. turn ign OFF
3. wait 15 sec
4. turn ign ON
5. QUICKLY do the "Exit programming mode"
6. turn ign OFF
7. wait 15 sec
8. try start engine

 

Ok. I'll try after NY holidays. Thank you!

 

Unfortunatly, when I press "Exit programming state" then error was occured. Here is log:

But same problem, engine couldn't be start.

 

ok.

so your flashing the ROM which you think is correct?

NOW - can you pull any codes from the ECU?

I think you have to program the VIN because of the manual/alternate flash process probably overwrites it...

 

There are same problem as was before flashing. It nothing changed
I flashed with 52360016 rom that I found at this forum. I dont have another rom.
How can I pull codes from the ECU? When I try to read ECU or "exit program state" same error occured:
kernel get version
interface close

How to program the VIN?

 

PCMScan will read CEL's

I suggest trying that first.

You can email me @gmail.com if you like

Reprogramming the VIN is a dealer thing - BUT I can possibly help you with that...

 

"Your nick"@gmail.com ?
There aren't dealers in our region
You are my last hope

 

yup!

 

I've been following this thread. I want to get into flashing my own ROM (even though I have english racing around to do it for me). I just want to say thanks for the continued support tephra. When I get some money and start doing it myself I'll be sending a donation.

 

I want to know the out come of this as well. This seems like a rather odd problem. The car being stuck in programming mode when just reading the info off the ECU. Keep us posted.
