[SvenR1]

Hi thanks for reply, I found the problem one murata filter had cold solder joint (murphy law, it was k- line murata :) ) All okey now reads fast. Another problem is when I choos subaru denso ecu, no matter which one it sais invalid protocol file. Also some VAG ecus have same problem (Vag simos PCR2.1). I did sd card format, but nothing.
Kess info:

FW 4.036
serial: K09021102
customer code c0999
group code c0999

Software Im using is 2.13, I also have K tag and it works in same k-suite.

Thanks

[Astra69]

If you have no problem with Vag simos PCR2.1 before you rework your kess, the problem is not the sw or sd files.

[SvenR1]

This problem was before rework also.

did you bought kess with this firmware from china store,or you updated your kess to this firmware...?

[zijad77]

Any chance to find fw 3.099?
it would be great.

They did not mention how to reset, they said it have no limitation of tokens, this is the page where I bought it: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/DHL-Free-Shipping-KESS-V2-V2-23-Newest-OBD2-Manager-Tuning-Kit-No-Token-Limit-Kess/32482860731.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.83.duf3DK

will see after 30 write mod files...if is no limited:)

[tango]

or less
some people are getting less than 30 writes from this fw

[lpf01]

Argh Bollocks. :)

Disabled the WIFI/Ethernet
Updated the FW
Updated the SD
Installed 2.08 - removed contents
Copied the contents of the 2.08 folder
Copied the update folder
Starting KSuite

Then BANG - "External Exception EEFFACE" :/

When plugging in the Kessv2 (USB->Computer) the red LED just blinks once every second - this cannot be normal?

Same after change NXP, do you had any solution for that?
With j link connected works well, as the hardware as the software, i think there is some power supply issues....

Edit: usb cable fault.

there is no logic here mate
you bought a clone...reworked this clone...spended money...for only 30 writes?........:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:...and you hope earn money for original tool....do you think that original will be unlimited?...NO...MUST TO PAY EVERYTHING THERE...even air...
and....YES...K-tag also is limited...need also tokens...

I cant afford to buy oem tools now thats why using clones. Is it possible to ge more out of this software or how to reset if needed?
Another thing I did not know that oem kess or k tag have limited tokens, how many writes without paying extra?

Thanks

[viliukas]

Hello guys, i bought kess v2 with 4.036 firmware version, maybe you could say which software would be stable for this kess v2 clone? Some people of this forum said that only 2.08 or 2.12 works without any problem with this tool. I found 2.12,2.15, 2.21 and 2.23 software versions in CD... Chinese wrote that it don't have token limit, so it depends from your software version if there is token limits or not? I don't understand, thanks friends for your answers.

P.S PCB great qualitty with Murata filters, pcb 2016.3.2.

[firefox18]

Look better for 2.08 greatings

so token limits it depends from software or firmware version? Chinese declarate that them tool don't have token limit and in CD there is from 2.06 till 2.23 versions of software no matter which software and it doesn't have that limit or it's not true what chinese declarate? :)

chinese words are misleading people like yourself
no token limits doesnt mean that tokens are not needed it means you have to get tokens to reset the 30 writes you have in the tool
therefore after the 30 tokens run out then you have to reset them to another 30
read through the forum and the info is all here
good luck

just compare them to original by cross referencing the smd codes
if you have doubts then replace them
everything else is ok so leave them as is

Hi there,
I am also looking for some info on decent quality clone kess v2 and been searching and reading a lot and about it and the more I read the more I'm confused. Adverts on the net are pretty much the same for every single device and obviously it's impossible to know what you get until you receive it. When it comes to tokens there are opposite claims. Some says they need to be recharged via j-link and by changing the onboard chip. Other info says tokens for certain devices with certain FW versions can be reset by software. Can anybody tell something about it from a first hand experience? I had one car, golf V tdi, remapped and I paid to have that done. Now I got my hands on another one, freelander td4, and I would like to do it my self. It's more fun, plus I'm pretty familiar with tech, for example I installed cruise control on my golf myself, added wiring and recoded computer, so I would like to try some tuning myself, as long as I have the right tools.
tnx!

edit: I found this clone on a sale @aliexpress. Looks the same as those bit more expensive ones. Would it be worth buying it?

Needs reworking solder through holes reflow chips sd holder etc then probably replace some components read the thread all info is available

[skojevac]

I found some photos of kess with reset button, never saw this before. Apparently there is an add-on chip for resetting tokens.

What's the deal with those without reset button, what combination of firmware and hardware can be reset by software? For example, can kess v23 fw4.036 be reset with those token reset solutions?

[flashtech]

skojevac - i know that v2.08 with fw4.036 can be resetted unlimited times - have tested it.

[electronistul21]

in pictures you can see good and bad ktag clone.in first picture is quality clone (can see murata filter).in second pictures is bad clone with bad pcb ,is very dificil to add murata filter.

[vasco fernandes]

Having murata filters is not enough to be a quality clone. Other components are also important

Following a post earlier in this thread I purchased Kess v2 from Bokins store @ aliexpress and I guess I received one of better clones.

[magnacin]

Skojevac, have you had a chance to try it? How does it work? would you recommend to buy?
Thanks.

[skojevac]

Did not have a chance to try it out yet, it's -20, or more, these days, it's so freaking cold even inside garage so I think I better wait a few. I sure wanna test it asap, but I need to prepare additional power supply. Speaking of which I have a spare comp psu, so is it enough to use that? Or is it better to turn an old ups into power supply? It gives out steady 14v 7A. I'm new to this so is it good enough to connect that with car battery?
And I'm now curious, could see a female jack dangling and the end of an OBD connector, it that meant for power supply to be plugged in, or it's got another purpose?

[ankjay]

I believe that's for a power supply. They recommend the 12v/1A for Kess V2 and 12v/2A for KTag.
But the power supply, according to what I see, it's only necessary with boot loader mode but if we can confirm that would be better.

I've also bought a Bokins clone. :-)
Now I only have to wait 1 month till it arrives... :-(

[skojevac]

Another quick question, besides the one about power supply, is it absolutely necessary to connect kess hardware to the car and to the computer before commencing installation? I hope to test the thing during the weekend so every bit of help is welcome.

Also, what would be the good/best version of ksuite to install? tnx!

[gazvts]

The jack on obd cable to feed kline direct to ecu when not avail on obd socket ( should have blue single cable )

Install software ( net safe v2.08 ) & driver connect kess to laptop don't need vehicle to go through menu or check protocols lists but to test if working need to try few reads on various ecu types

be intresting to see if the P-channel transistors work so try test as much as you can if it was me i would read first post change out the ones marked PD

[skojevac]

Thanks for making this clear, that would be this cable. Will pay attention at those transistors, but I admit I would rather not touch 'em since I suck at soldering.:thumpdown:

[CrBooster]

Hello guys! I just Received my KESS V2. It is 4.036 version and I installed it with Ksuite V2.30. I haven't tested it yet. It looks like is the same as skojevac one. What do you think? Should I change something in order to work more reliable? Thanks!

421414421415

[skojevac]

I tested mine today, was able to read LR freelander td4, that's dde4/15c4. It took 4.5 minutes to read, no apparent issues. I forgot to disable engine fan, but fortunately it did not make me a problem.
@CrBooster Where did you get v2.30? I installed v2.28, no higher version was on a disc, and I'm not aware that there is one.

[Music73]

It really doesn't matter if you have any version above 2.08 you ain't getting any more protocols to work as it's still the old firmware..

[skojevac]

I think I read that, here or elswhere. I guess that's why it's recommended to install 2.08, but couldn't resist the temptation. :chuncky:

[ankjay]

@skojevac, you're lucky. Usually fans dry out batteries in no time! Looks like you have a good clone. Have you tried to write? :)
@CrBooster, it's the same. :-) Where did you get him? From the same store from ours - Bokins?

[CrBooster]

I took it from aliexpress from the store "ShenZhen" with a KTAG 2.13 and a BDM frame. I received the version 2.30 software by private message from them. On CD was just version 2.28. I tested it yesterday by reading an EDC16U1 from a VW Golf MK5 2.0 TDI. It took almost 6 minutes to read. This week I will also use it to write the same ECU. I will tell you how it goes.

[ankjay]

Nice!
Good luck mate!

Let us know how did it go!

@ankjay I didn't try to write yet, and yeah, I also forgot to mention that I used an old ups like an external power source, had it connected to the battery during the writing so perhaps that helped too. Voltage fell from 12 and something V to 11 and something by the end of the reading, but it went ok. :)

[ankjay]

That makes sense!
In normal way (everything shutdown except the obvious ones), I believe that we don't need any power supply. It's a backup in fact, I believe we don't really need.

I really understand your point, I really do. It's a matter of precaution.
Anyway, I said "I believe". I don't said "You don't need that!". That's a different thing.

I only used another sw's, I never tried to read/write on the ECU's before.
I guess I should start to build my own BSU in order to get all the power in case of failure.
If you guys say that it might be useful, I believe because you've been in this world more time than me. Always learning. ;)

its always best to have a very good psu/charger connected to the car if you are going to attempt any type of ecu flashing
this is also recomended by the manufactures

Isn't it mandatory that it be a charger to avoid damaging the battery ?
It can be power supply 60A set to 13.5v ? Is it OK ?

most are using server psu's set at 13.5-14.5v so yes a 60A supply will work great

Hi Guys,

So I have bought the Kess and K-tag from china, kess looks like this -
http://imgur.com/szsNbyB
I have mostly changed all the parts which have been pointed out, but I am confused about murata filters, as in picture it looks like it solders at both ends, but the part I have to replace those with, it solders in three places, including the middle ( I hope this is understandable) So how do I solder the legit murata filter in the middle?
Maybe someone could point out if my capacitors are good as well?

As for K-Tag, I noticed that there are a lot of holes not being soldered on my PCB as per original, here is the picture where I have pointed out all the places with red circles and arrows
http://imgur.com/a/sqq4C
Is it good idea to solder the holes as well?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
g00re

[tango]

you have to solder all middles to gnd
so run a wire across all centres then from last 1 to any gnd point
and for the holes yes just solder them

[g00re]

Thank you very much tango for helping.
So basically like in the picture? (yeah its ms paint)

Or I am messing up grounds and should look for any GND on the PCB?

[ankjay]

Hi g00re,

I don't think you want to solder a wire in the murata filters!

He said that you need to solder the middle holes, they are located in the middle of the PCB.
This is the original board (picture taken from the first post):
https://postimg.cc/image/w00iwu9xh/

As you can see, in the middle of the PCB the holes are filled with solder.

[tango]

you have the idea right apart from dont connect them to any end of the filters otherwise thats then a short circuit

[ankjay]

tango,

Sorry my n00bice but, is it necessary to solder a wire on the murata filters? :-|

[tango]

you need to make it something like this (making sure the centers are not connecting to outer ends anyway

[tango]

if your pcb is the 1 with no trace for them in centers yes its needed they are connected to gnd

[ankjay]

if your pcb is the 1 with no trace for them in centers yes its needed they are connected to gnd

I'm waiting for my to arrive... It's the one from Bokins store, it should look like this:
424185

From what I see, they are connected, right? It's only necessary filling with solder the holes in the middle of the PCB. From what I see.

[tango]

you dont have to fill holes
all you need to do with that pcb is check transistors are good etc
no need for filters replacing or touching

[vasco fernandes]

Checks the transistors. I think they are not correct

Thats the case, regarding your PCB murata`s, there is a place to solder centers for them, in my case there is not.

@tango - I got the idea now. only thing is where do I find GND?
This is how my PCB looked originally - http://imgur.com/a/CQH8f
I have circled with red two GND`s I am able to find. Am I good to connect to them?
Thanks

[tango]

if you look at the pic i edited of yours you will see where i made the gnd connection right at top
scrape alittle green away then put a little solder then use that space

[g00re]

Thank you very much! :)

EDIT:

While still on the topic, when soldering holes on KESS I think I messed up on this one - http://imgur.com/a/CGuQZ
Circled with red, it looks like both connections are touching. Is this really bad? Can I live with it? I tried to clean it up but with not much success.

[PremierD]

Oh dear ......what did you use an oxy acetyne cutter to solder with ? ....lol

[g00re]

Oh dear ......what did you use an oxy acetyne cutter to solder with ? ....lol

Yeah, it looks quite bad lol, this was the result of trying to remove the solder and re-solder it afterwards, but I messed it up quite a bit.
Im quite new in soldering, so...
Thing is what can be done? whats the best way to clean this mess up? I assume this can create short

You can do it using solder paste which will clean the solder area while touching the solder iron and isopropyl alcohol to clean.
And lots of pacience!



Checks the transistors. I think they are not correct
Do you believe that they aren't the correct ones? This pictures was an example, I've ordered it from the same store, so it should be the same.
I really need to have the equipment in hand to see what I can do. :)

Thanks!

leave it or add a little more solder to fill the via(hole) the via's (holes) on each side of that capacitor is connected to the capacitor

[g00re]

Ok, thanks tango!

And another dumb question probably, on my KESS I have 470 25V UT capacitor and I have received also 220uF 50V capacitor (both seen on picture)
Is it ok to replace those? As I have seen on original kess its 220uF 50V capacitor.

Yes replace everything that's not same as original

Guys,

I was searching on the internet and found one ebayer that is selling one Kess, aparently with EU firmware and quality components but I don't think so...

Take a look:
427567427568

From what I see, this isn't quite good quality since there isn't any murata filters and yellow capacitors.
What do you guys think?

[cp2010]

china s**t no reworked !

[sinhron]

427588427589Hi. I ordered kess clone from china, can you tell me which components needs to be changed for it to work better, and is it good for 24v ?

[tango]

stop being lazy and search for the original pic to compare to
also i posted a rework list etc and they are in this thread

[sinhron]

From what I see is only the murata filters. Already searched all, and have like 10 pictures on my computer. Not being sure doesn't mean I am being lazy.

It's not only the murata filters mate. That transistors doesn't seem to be the ones on the first topic.
Search on the internet the reference marked/printed in the transistor and see if they match with the ones in the first topic. :-)

Like tango said, search a little bit on the topic, there's a list of all components necessary to a perfect rework.
Good luck!

Hi

i Have Kess Clone and used it for a while read and write ECU. after my tokens run out and i finally reset it.
now i can read Id, read ecu, but after writing map to Ford Focus 1.6 tdci car wont start, so i do recovery after that everything ok.

is it problem with file or with Kess ?

Thanks

board:
431468

[smirnoff_rules]

its the file

[Petar001]

Is it possible that Kess do wrong checksum and that this problem occurs ?
thanks

[tango]

doubt very much the kess did wrong checksum
if anything it might not have corrected the chesum so you have to do it
either way the problem will be the file like you was told

[ivanrojo]

hi all, i bought this kess from aliexpress, fw 4.036 and sw 2.13432381432382432383 software could be downloaded from here:
http://www.360diag.net/a/downloads/Diagnostic_software/2016/0219/349.html

i have problem with the tool, doesn?t work with a lot of common cars, like 1.9 tdi (golf mkiv leon etc) sometimes read sometimes not, and i have already bricked an edc16u just for connecting. know I dare not use it.

I want to rework it, but i don?t now if my pcb is ok or not, or if problem is on fw and sw.

Talking with an expert he recommend me to used fw 3.099 with 2.08 sw and full rework of pcb, what do you think? should i used and older fw and sw?

thanks a lot!

[tango]

you cant go back to fw3.099 so i would personally replace the transistors or the ones that need replacing to start with
compare the pcb to the original and then replace what needs to be replaced
sw you shouldnt be using anything other than version 2.08
read through all theis thread to understand

[ankjay]

Yes, the transistors doesn't look the right ones you need to replace them.
For double check, compare with the original and see what needs to be changed, like tango said.

Your PCB looks the same of Bokins store...

[ivanrojo]

thanks so much I will reworking it, so if I can?t go back to w 3.099 (that guy told me that was necessary to desloder the fw chip) my sock fw 4,036 is ok? all problems were for using 2.13 sw?

on other hand, china fw 4.036 and 2.08 sw is ok? or its necesary to use that sw and fw from an other place?

thanks

sorry, repost

[ivanrojo]

TFSI always take several time to read and write, don?t worry about it, do you used 2.08 sw?

I can't see the transistors but the rest seems fine to me. ;)

Is working for anybody Kess 4.036 clone with BMW E60 EDC16CP35 by OBD ? I have try many times to many E60 models, but no luck. I got KLINE and CAN, if I choose KLINE- get "wake up error", If I choose CAN, getting " Protocol not correct.Use protocol 164" ... where is problem ?

p.s. I have changed all components for KLine fixing even they were correct and good condition, nothing changed.

[cawadany]

Tried with protocol 164 and selecting k-line?

[arunsta]

Tried with protocol 164 and selecting k-line?

Yes, I did. If selecting KLine, getting "wake up error". With other cars (different protocols) kline is working great.

[arunsta]

What's wrong with this china clone ? This BMW with EDC16CP35 witch protocol should work, CAN or KLINE ?

[commieTH]

Just finished reading this great thread - 6 bloody hours!!! :) Really everything is here, from rework instructions with parts list to links to good sellers. One thing seems to be missing though - towards beginning of the thread there were links to download internet safe 2.08 software and by now all these links are dead. Could someone re-upload it please?

PS by the way is that version really "internet safe"? ;)

[commieTH]

The only thing that's left to decide now is which FW to buy, 3.099, 4.024 or 4.036. I realise 4.036 differs from 2 others in token reset methods (harder to do, may require change of chip) so does it open enough new options to be worth it, compared with older ones? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

None, buy 5.017. Its latest, token free, full open, internet safe!

[Moldovan1]

About E60, EDC16CP35 :Change speed to low. But is better to make this ECU on the bench. Is most safely!

[ivanrojo]

Well, for sure my kess is not ok, today I tried to read a c4 2.0 hdi 136 dephi ecu, and i couldn?t kess said protocol error , I read a golf v bkd without problem but when i tried to flash it kess said error and ecu was bricked...:apologetic: I could rescued it with mpps v13

Same thing happend with other bkd before reworked and sew 2.24, with new eu components and 2.08 and new libraries for sd nothing changes...

maybe problem is for using windows 10? does someone know?

i don?t know what to do, i?m thinking to buy a galleto or other tool which works better.

Received another Kess today from a private seller who reworks them himself (as he claims), really like the quality. M-filters are grounded, tantalum caps, PCB marked 2016.10.31. Not even sure I need to change anything. Transistors photos are attached, do you think it's worth changing them? That's my only concern about this PCB, really and I couldn't find datasheets.

[tango]

if its reworked why change anything?
but then looking at the pic i dont think its been reworked at all
i think its bought from china that way
i would change those transistors thats are marked pd for sure
from what i can find they seem to be mossfets :(

[ivanrojo]

hi I all today I connected kess with internet conection (after rework the kw libraries and everything worked good at the end.) For rescuing the tool i know i need a jlink and fw, but have i to buy a new nxp and solder it? if yes i think would be beter send it to someone with more experience on smd than me, and maybe pay for a upgrade to 5.017

[d3v1l]

Just Buy A new SDcard format in fat32 And find someone that can share with you the file to insert inside.

[ivanrojo]

Thanks a lot, must to be a new sd? is it not valid to format old one? if not, i hace to buy a sd with a concrete size?

........What you try to do? IF wanna try to update to 5.017 it can do only with replace NXP.

the nxp can be reflashed without any issues.
I resoldered NXP as morgano adviced, the update process start, the serial is ok then but all is gray.
SD card locked and cannot be use just format. Tried another card, same issue.
There is soft on internet "KSuite KESS KTAG REPAIR" I just realised yerstarday it's realy kill the NXP.
This is the 3rd MCU I killed with the SW. After you run the exe your NXP cannot be read or reflashed.
I just ordered another ktag main unit as my pcb after 3rd soldering not look nice.
Do not want waste time anymore.

For the SDcard files you already have them in your toole

I recently bought a Kess SW: v2.32 / FW: v4.036 + KTag SW: v2.13 / FW: v6.070 (shipment hasn't arrived yet). A few days after I placed the order, they started selling Kess SW V2.23: / FW: 5.017 + KTag SW: v2.23 / FW: 7.020.

My question is, if I manage to get the updated fw files, or if the files become available. Will I be able to update with the hardware I bought or will I need to make some physical changes to the pcb?

[Samsara]

Hello.
I'm almost sure hardware is same, because some sell NXP including firmware 5.017 and sdcard software.
It's expensive, more than 200?, compare to complete Kess V5.017 + all cables for 290? with DHL.
It's impossible to found firmware only because sellers will lost their business, so only NXP preprogrammed with read security enable.

mbtun (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/member.php/313889-mbtun) but I format my sdcard, becouse i had "wake up" error, then I copied to the sd card files for version k-suite 1.89. and run software k-suite 2.32 but when i try to read i have "invalid protocol" error, so i think i need the correct files to sdcard , where
can i find them ?

I am new at this thing and I would like to have a clone KESS. What is the risk of it ? Is it possible that harm ECU with connecting clone KESS via OBD ??
Thanks

[csw03]

Hello, you can use the clones for ecu's without any ( contenute ) risk, is better you read and write always with same tool, be sure the file you go to write is correct, for some ecu's is better make a full back up with Ktag, and you can be quiet, always thing appaned, you have a full back up.

Hi, I reworked my Kess clone v5.017. But i'm getting a issue communicating with trucks "Wake Up Error".
I have connected to my Car without issue , ids' the ECU fine. But Renault Kerax DCi 370 ,Scania R470 , Renault Kerax 420. All get the same error "Wake Up Error". Is there anyone else with this issue or heard of it before? I tried google but generally in context with v4.036, and to reformat card.
Problem is reformat is that i don't have access to any v5.017 SD card files. Only v4.036.

I see people recommending using 10uf 16v tantalum caps, but in the picture (which says it's original board) all the 10uf capacitors are 10 volts (marked as 106A) not 16 volts.

Can anyone confirm if original board use 10v or 16v for the 10uf caps?

[ionutdanica]

Use this TPSB106K020R1000

[wokcz]

Use this TPSB106K020R1000

Seems a little expensive for not even having AEC certification. Im still curious if original uses 10v rated caps. I was thinking of getting something like TPSB106K010T1000, still low ESR, AEC-Q200 compliant, but 10v rated.

[sonique]

anyone try china good quality 5.017 kess write simos 18.1 4mb binary ?

[pocinas]

Gentlemen. I stand before buying KESS v2 5.017 china with green PCB or red PCB which is a little more expensive. I'm going to do rework so how do you think the version would be better? Box will just to my private usage

[gilleone]

Please you sell Ktag without cks error in write and how much for your device ?

Thanks .

China Kess version?

[michalez]

China Kess version? yes it is china kess

[pocinas]

Hi there.
I have the same fault "Error while transferring data in reading" but ECU is Bosch ME1.5.5 which is present in Vauxhall(Opel) Corsa C 1.2 16V.

My kess 5.017 is china but reworked,
Actually it was just reworked, tested on 2 other ecu and worked ok.

I try this ecu read via Galetto v54(reworked) and is problem as well.



So i think is maybe my ecu not readable ....
At the moment what i read on the internet... My ecu. ME1.5.5 is present in alfa romeo as well. And there no one box can't read this ecu. To the bench as well.. Only option is writing but just overwrite.. With specially trick (pin 10 obd2 connect with Ground or 12v i can't remember now) This is like protection.... Try read more infos in the internet.. Maybe you found something

Hello people

I bought recently a KESS V2 5.017 clone

I try to read the ecu via OBD from a Lancia Y 2002 (IAW 59F). I deal two matters,

first after the reading it appears a message for check sum error (i read later that needs c++, i install it but i haven't test it yet, to check if the check sum error fixed).

The second matter is that i read 3 times ecu via obd, each time needs around 35 minutes to complete the procedure and the exported file it was only 256 kb.. What is the necessary avarage time to read a ecu with KESS via OBD. Does it has any setting in order to improve the needed time?

Thatnks in advance
Alex

All ecu have different time of read/write...
Like edc16c39 read -45min write-2min...
But for example - me 7.1.1 - read30min write-30min
Edc16u1 read -10min write-2min
Merc edc16cp36 - read and write around 2min...

So time isnt important...
Files for
Edc15 are 512kb/1mb
Edc16 are 1/2mb
Edc17 2/4mb

Just check with Winols is it recognized or not... :)

Thank you mates
I worried that the my kess had problem.

One more quetion. my clone has green pcb (not eu version). Is ir worthly to reworked it, due to many components are defferent in comparison with the original? Except components replace do i need to reprogramming the npx processor? (note that i will not change version, my kess has allready 5.017).

Thank in advanced

[mircea13]
