If i remember well... the 4.036 firmware was uploaded to this forum by user ecutuners.

As far as i know 5.017 and 5.028 are not publicly available. Ktag 7.020 firmware was leaked to public some time ago.

Hello, can anyone help me with the Protocol files?
That they are encrypted with the serial number I have heard often enough, can someone explain to me how?
My Kess 5.017 has the serial number K00000000
I'm just a car mechanic not a programmer, but I can work with a PC.
all information to me, gladly also by PM.

I personally doubt the families’ files are encrypted based on each kess or ktag serial number.

Just think they are compressed, even posible with a password.

My guess is that the necessary protocol is, when needed, uploaded to nxp ram, there gets unpacked by the mcu and make use of it running its code from ram.

This takes us,As kitnoos2002 noted, to the point that the protocol may be matched to its linked firmware, because of data and subroutines addresses fixed and different from one firmware version to another.

Hard thing to achieve porting new version protocol to run in older firmware.

Not to mention that before running there is a check for firmware version to see if the protocol is going to be run where it was meant to, if not a protocol mismatch error should arise and stop execution of the protocol code.

Allowing different firnware version protocol run on ram will lead to mcu hangs because calls to procedures will not be same addresses and code flow may be unpredictable and a disaster.

Nice day

have KESS_5.028 NXP.zip found , I think that's a fake file

edit: actually should be here a Kess5028.bin file in it, unfortunately, the file was only fake

**kitnoos2002** · 7th February, 2019, 08:47 PM

I think it's a fake from the KTAG 7.020 NXP file.

Hey
I have 1 SD card dead kess 5.017
Tried to use 4gb and 16 micro SD card but didn't work
Then I pick an old 128mb micro SD card and it worked
I can't create image with XOR 4/16gb micro SD card, it just doesnt progress and encripted file is 0kb
How did you do?
Regards

copy the block into a new file, then use Xorfiles, then insert the generated file with WinHex from block 0x00000000 into your 4GB image or write it directly to yours SD-card

Thank you for help
Now I have another error
When I fill micro SD card with 0 I got EEFFACE error
With 128mb card work perfectly
I tried with 4gb micro SD card and bought new micro SD card 16gb toshiba
Both EEFFACE error after fill 0
Any hint on this?
Regards

what bothers you the EEFFACE error ???
SD back out, read with WinHex and see if the 13 lines keycode is on it and then do the same as with the 128MB SD

First 13 lines are 0
But when I scroll down I see that file is not all with 0 after EEFFACE error
I will wait to receive more kess 5.017 and try again
