Loading Firmware Failed!

[cam_e_ron]

I have recently been struggling with getting FORScan to succesfully update the firmware on my PCM.

I am using a VLinker FS with current firmware, on FORScan 2.4.8 beta. All settings are set per the recommendations on this forum.

I needed to update the VID block in order to replace the PCM in my vehicle. I was required to update the calibration and strategy to different versions as the current versions were not downloadable.

When programming, everything works fine until it attempts to flash strategy #3 after erasing the block. At this point the PCM will not function and I cannot go any further. I attempted to load only the problem block and it immediately fails.

I am stuck. I tried wiring the PCM directly to the vlinker FS and the result is identical. I now have a bricked PCM until I can figure out how to write the final block.

You have made a big mistake. Where you say everything works fine until it attempts to flash strategy #3 is incorrect.
There were error warnings earlier that the files you needed were not found.

You didn't have the files needed & then proceeded to erase the PCM. This is what happens when users don't read forum topics before starting, don't understand the very clear warnings about the dangers of doing this & also ignore the warning the program gives you.

Send me a PM if you want help. If we are online at the same time, I might be able to help.

We have fixed the problem (answered by email and sent the test build). Unfortunately these old ECUs have a lot of specifics in programming, some cases are quite rare. The fix will be included in v2.4.9 beta.

I have ran into the same issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
