PSA MD1CS003 Read with Autotuner After Flex Unlock

Image
 Here is a user’s experience with Autotuner reading after a boot glitch unlocked by Flex . "I tried to test an Autotuner reading after a boot glitch with Flex MD1CS003 +2021 0281 037 200 It works perfectly. I had already tried before, it didn’t work but I understood why. If you unlock with Flex + a file mod, AT no longer recognizes it. But on this calculator I simply unlocked with flex, and did a read test with Autotuner to test and it was read. What you can deduce, Autotuner can read if your file is original (just unlocked) . But if you unlock + file mod, AT will just ID but no read, it will try to read with INITIALIZATION IN PROGRESS INITIALIZATION IN PROGRESS INITIALIZATION IN PROGRESS READ ERROR"
