VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[mattydr67]

Well, Now I understand the reason of the STC chip... but if you reflash the ATMEGA with 11.11 dump the next time you plug the cable into 12V the STC will reflash the ATMEGA again to 11.2, right?

So... I understand that this clone will work with any software version... But in the future Ross Tech will prevent this kind hacking for sure.

Then you have 3 options:

1) Use 11.2 dump with the latest working software

2) Get your hand into a newer dump and use the corresponding software version... For this you must remove STC chip.

3) Buy original

No if you upgrade the Atmega you have to reflash it back by AVR programmer
STC will become unusefull.
If you reflash Atmega with 11.2 back the STC will become usefull again
You can use it the dump 11.2 with upper version ( chinese cheat peaple like this ) but will not work well, it become unstable for newer version.
If you flash the Atmega with upgraded verion the STC become unusefull but the tool become stable.
So your options are correct
Good luck

Well, on that tool I have - which is now may be in question - I had flashed the Atmega with the 11.2 dump. Read it out, and the dump was correct.

As soon as I plugged it into the USB port, the content of the Atmega was rewritten....

So I was right! Every time you connect the cable into 12V the STC chip reflashs the content of the ATMEGA.

That cable is supposed to be which version?

Now, it's up to you what you wanna do!

Ia about this?

Post # 2536?

Unsolder the stc and reflash atmega. And mandatory uninstall any version of VCDS you have and reinstall 10.6.4 and 11.2.0


In your first picture you have:
from left to right upper side = atmega and ftdi
bottom side= mcp 2551, mcp2515 and 93c46.

well, 2515 is "20-Lead Plastic Thin Shrink Small Outline (ST) ***8211; 4.4 mm (TSSOP)"?
I can't see because of bleu wire.. this IC have 20 pins?



Can you post another photo without programmer wires?

Thank's

I've removed the STC, reprogrammed the Atmega. Now, when plugging into the USB port the content of the Atmega is not rewritten.

But still, the LED will not light up, and the VCDS gives out the following error:

Port status: OK
Interface not found

....

Hmmm... I think you must plug the cable into 12V.

Does the cable shows in "Device Manager" as "ROSS TECH HEX-USB"? If not you need to reflash FTDI.

It is powered up by 12V....

And yeah it does show up!

BTW. It has NEVER worked since I received from the supplier around 2 weeks ago - always the same problem

you may be full registered to work romanian soft

[mattydr67]

you may be full registered to work romanian soft

If you have dump for romanian soft or a genuine tool
Good luck

Maybe, a transistor, CAN controller, CAN transceiver is/are faulty!

M8
Power up the tool
Go to Option and then TEST
And what is the message?
After this in the ABOUT you have to have Full Registred/Activated
If you have't this you cannot go ahead becasue you didn't reflash it well
If it's show you Full Registred/Activated then you can check the k-line or the CAN
Check this first
Good luck

To update the 11.2 to 11.11 it is very simple
Just update the Atmega with 11.11 dump
Good luck

[bat21]

Everything is simple, even without dump 11.11 is possible

What do you mean? What dump version you talking about?
Is 1.84 good enough?
Best regards.
