Xprog distroys dashes ?

**bijlaard** · 14th May, 2011, 08:48 AM

Hi all
I'm new here , a friend told me about this forum.
We have a Xprog (V5.0).
We want to use it for read and write flash in volvo dashes (2001 until 2010).
We did try to do about 8 of them, 4 of them are now dead :-(.
With dead I mean we get the message: Bootloader initialising error. Can't to acces BDM.Check BDM connection.

It hapens when we write the (new) flash, the first writing part is ok. After that it happens.

After that u can try to do it again but imidiatly it gives the bootloader error, so u can do nothing anymore.

the MCU's on the dashes are :MC9s12DG128B

We have the Xprog powered at 15 volts
we have 5 volts on the mcu
Does anyone know why this happens ?

We tryed to bring the dash to live putting 12 volts on the dash itselve ,didn't help.

Does anyone know how to get the dead dashes to work again?

I don't have to tell it's very very important to get them to work again.....

Hope we are at the right community here :-)

regards Ina

Try to use other programmer like ETL or Rosfar. Probably you have destroyd flash data on MCU.

Is this a known problem from the xprog ?
and wil the ETL or Rosfar not have this problem?

try to select secured version of the 9s12. maybe bdm protection is active now

**bijlaard** · 14th May, 2011, 11:12 AM

Did try that allready no luck :-(

Maybe aditional info, don't know if it is of any use :

The ones who worked, it seems (for us) those where only programmed one time. (we did only flash)

The others we did, (the dead/locked ones) first time they functioned, second (writing) time we got the error. (we did only flash)

does somebody know the answer ?

Yes it's a china tool,....
When i would buy a ETL or Rosfar would i beable to repair the MCU's ?

i don't know if i understand well, do you work on volvo for odometer correction or something other? if you work on odometer correction, why do you touch FLASH?

We try to change language

MC9s12DG128B must be powred only by 3.3v,
the 5v will distroy the chip

I had a similar problem with 9S12B128 flash mask 3L80R mask.
Every time, the BCU that i read was dead and i had no communication with the board
maybe there is problem with this value
PS:i have OIGINAL Xprog-m
