FoxFlash FTDI Reflash Fix for Serial Programmer Issues

 Here comes the FoxFlash Ftdi repair (reflash) guide.

Credit to Jan from STGFiles. You are at your risk. iECUtool.eu does not hold responsibility for the damage.

So your foxflash is not working anymore, maybe sometimes you can see it on the windows device manager as serial programmer but not dfox tool.

Just a click on the tool, no dings and no dongs.
Time for a FTDI Chip reflash, this is very common error in fox and happens for various reasons still undetermined but were here for the fix so roll up your sleeves, we go for the deep end.

For the technical side on the issue or you dont know what a ftdi even is, go for https://www.etechnophiles.com/what-is-ftdi-chip-cable-uses/… and get some knowledge on the issue. So ftdi chip is what acts sort of a translator between computers usb and your device in this case foxflash. If firmware on chip is lost, its like a mute translator without a dictionary on other words, useless. So fox software can’t talk via usb to foxflash and back. This is why we have no comms on foxflash.

We fix it by reflashing the firmware on the chip so we have comms again between software and flasher.
In case you haven’t done it allready, toss the original USB cable to trash and buy a proper shielded usb cable for replace.

First up download all needed files from three locations available: https://dropmefiles.com/dtsAR https://filebin.net/wsdvmwdw8u0yrx3r https://fileport.io/Gmkq8ZXGMfCh and unpack the archive on desktop, unplug all other tools and just connect fox.

START BY UNPLUGGING ALL OTHER USB DEVICES, ONLY CONNECT FOXFLASH!!

Go to repair folder and unrar all archives and after that go back to mainfolder.
Start Mprog3.5 from programs folder
Press Magnifying glass icon to see all devices connected (you should see your tool here)
Next open file in mprog, go to v54 eprom archive and select v54eprom.ept file
in mprog3.5 main go for write/program all existing devices, (flash icon) and press it.
Done, ftdi is flashed. Now for the rest of procedure
Repair mainfolder, goto kt200 folder and install both dpins_amd64 and dpinst_X86
start up kt200 service and select reset tool.
Sorted, now back to foxflash and it should work again.
Thanks for Raouf Gharbi for sharing the files again for everyone. Hope this saved your day!

How to Find Bosch ECU Serial Numbers and Correct Pinouts

Image
 Here is basic post for people asking basic questions, apparently now on high demand since we have gathered again new members in our ECU group . So you got bosch ecu in hand from car and how to figure out how to identify it and what pinout to use? On this case we can randomly take one bosch ecu that we will identify. So all bosch ecus start with serial numbers 028… 026. We just head to bosches page next https://www.bosch-repair-service.com/ Here you search by oe or bosch number, i have random bosch ecu here and it’s 0 281 014 544 and bosch page ends up with a result. We can see its edc16cp35. Now there are two ways. Either to search in foxflash bmw / edc16cp35 for pinout. Or we head to ecu pinout page and figure out pinout from there. One of the best online pinout catalogs can be found at ecu desing, So save webpage https://ecu.design/ecu-pinout/ Copy address and head out there. Type in edc16cp35, bmw uses two processors in this one mpc 562 and mpc564. Pinouts jus...
