You need to program nxp with correct firmware, then make sdcard.

Hello morgano
have you tested fw for upgrade npx to 702 version?
is possible rewrite NPX or need to be physically replaced to new one?
Thanx

edit
yasera
read post 233 and 235
or read first post pdf, there is manual now to make generator file yourself.
Thanx

Ktag fw 7.020 was leaked to public a while ago, should not be difficult to find.

Now, answering your questions i have ktag 7.020 and kess 5.017 firmwares loooooong time ago since the first clones appeared on the scene, also have my own tools to make matching sd for both in few seconds based on sd cid number, but my private files are not for sharing.

I share advice and some knowledge/experience regarding this topic, just that.

As for the need to reflash/replace lpc2478 in your ktag... yes you need a way to program the firmware in a BLANK one, the one already fit in your ktag 6.070 is crp3 protected, so either you risk the heat unlock method to delete it or buy virgin one, swap in pcb, and then program it when you have found 7.020 firmware.

Regards,

Hello

I'm really glad that I found this forum, because I also have a probmlem with KessV2 5.017 (Chinese clone, red pcb)…
To be honest I had the problem from the start I got it, but the seller was not helpfull at all, so I stuck with a problematic unit.
I have two problems:

'External exception EEFFACE' error, which is suppose to be a sd card related problem, but then I tried another sd card (I managed to get a sd image from seller) and copy it on a new sd card, but then I got
'Protocol not found' error, which should be a problem because the sd card is not right or correctly prepared…

The board itself looks o kand doesn't seem to have any 'bad contact' problem…and as I found so far there is a problem with sd card, because it must be prepared correctly.

I also found interesting, when I prepared an original sd card from an image, I managed to start an app and read an ID from my car, but when I wanted to do that again, the 'External exception EEFFACE' error appeared and I was back at the beggining.

To be honest, from what I have read, it might not be such a problem to prepare a new sd card (original is 128M and my new is 8M) by myself and from the first post I found enough info, but not all the tools. I got WinHex and XorFiles v1.0, but I could not get keyfilegenerator.cmd anywhere.

Can somebody be so kind and to help me with this file… and I also can't seem to understand 'Copying folders from archive "Ksuite" or "Ktag" to formated sd card'… I can not find this folders in my Ksuite folder…

Regards…

Send you PM.
About EEFFACE error what I found is that it's more a combination of Ksuite version you use and the driver in windows...
I also have a Kess clone and if i try to open Ksuite 2.33/2.37 i have same error, but with version 2.25 and 2.47 i dont have that error...
