And the last 14.10.0 chn and 14.10.2 HQ..
Of course, every version in him folder...
Working well, why not?

Thanks for your comment liviudiaconu. I ask because I have the idea that the loader of one version can damage interface or software version of other. If I understand you liviudiaconu, you can install every different version of the software in it own installation folder, but we can not run different versions of the software at the same time in the same windows session, right? Will be better to restart laptop and run the other desired version. Am I right?

At the same time two versions of VCDS is not ok. I don't think that working...

But, in the same session of windows i run let say, first 11.11.0, close, run 11.11.5, close..etc. I never restart windows for run the other version and never had problems. Not at the same time. Only one by one...

The problem can be if have 11.11.0 and 11.11.x, X>=1, because 11.11.0 use a bad version of driver. Try uninstall driver for 11.11.0 (2.08) and reinstall from the folder of vcds (newer version) or (older that 10.6.4)...

But, at this time, except the named "HQclone" for none of the rest of versions use internet. Is possible that RT find the sollution for "bypass" the protection made by "hosts" or by loader and....

My recomandation for using internet is: disable internet connections all.
Run VCDS from an external disk (USB stik, external HDD, sdcard..etc)..
After, remove external disk and reenable internet.

Is a good solution, but for clones the better solution still remain "on diagnose pc, not internet connection, all network cards disabled". That because of "history" of protection..was protection with STC, was broken..etc..

Is only my oppinion...

As usual very good explanation and really useful comment liviudiaconu, but I have a particular doubt, maybe a dumb one:

How do you recognize which version XX corresponds to a particular xx.xx.xx software and how do I uninstall driver only without uninstall whole program?

Uninstall driver from device manager

Device manager with VCDS connected: search in usb Ross tech..right clik->properties, second tab (driver) and will see version.

Or, for sure in control panel add/remove programs..will see windows driver package..Ross tech..(date and version).
Remove 2.08.xxx with cable DISCONNECTED
Must remain 2.06.00 or, if have 14.10.x, 2.10.00 version. If not exist, connect cable and install driver from a vcds folder except 11.11.0.

First you must have Flash and Eeprom files for 14.10.0 or later version.
Second, must have the proper installer for this version.
Third must opperate few modifications on your PCB (desolder 3 components).

And most important IC3 is ATMEGA162? I see a "2V" on it but no more, because is hidden by LM7805 regulator.
If have Atmega 162, can do reprogram with "first point" files, install "second" and opperate "third"..
If not, let cable as-is.

Your problemm is to find flash, eeprom and installer. Are not for free.

**mecsoun** · 25th April, 2015, 08:51 PM

it is a cable with atmega162V I have the right and the installer several versions VCDS 14.XX for HQ china clone and taste good to go. I'm just not sure if it will go and not content to flash, eeprom etc.

**liviudiaconu** · 30th April, 2015, 07:41 AM

For HQ clone is more dificult to obtain all you needed for this. Only 14.xx software is not enough

Hi i have vcds 11.11 version and until now was working good.But today when i read in live data showed not available data.And now shows too many communication errors to continue.I must get a new one or there is a solution for this?

**liviudiaconu** · 2nd May, 2015, 04:57 PM

NEC D78xxx/D79xxx? Try rewrite .ept file and make a "clean" uninstall and reinstall of VCDS. If not working, another one.

Atmega 162? Clean uninstall/reinstall VCDS and read "aminebot's tutorial" from this topic...

**PremierD** · 2nd May, 2015, 04:59 PM

Or contact Ross-Tech and get a genuine one .. with free updates for life .

**kospoz** · 2nd May, 2015, 07:39 PM

This version i had it for 3 years it is time to say bye bye

**kospoz** · 3rd May, 2015, 11:58 AM

Today i checked the tool again and i read some info.The cable says that is fully registered,serial number hexc715-00a860-e79224-06c2c2-bbhahh-5a5b and in device manage i have usb\vid_0403&pid_FA20\RT000001.On board i have ft232bl,atmell 93c56,atmega162,gal16v8d,mcp2515.With those infos can you tell me if cable has problem or i must do something else?

**kospoz** · 3rd May, 2015, 02:02 PM

These are resistors?I checked them and i found that at 1 i have 15kohm, 2-->nothing, 3-->15kohm, 4--> 8,5kohm, 5--> nothing
6--> 8,5 kohm what value must have on 2 and 5 ( resistors) ?
