VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[Roma77]

These cables are not my first ones with 18.9en and 18.2pl and worked well (always the same software). Only these 2 are not working and I don't know why. In this thread is a loooot of informations but I know there are few type of cables and some of them need programmer and some can be fixed without extra devices. I write new post because I thought somebody will help me with my type of cables (too much mixed informations here and after spending 2 hours here I still don't know how to fix them).

Thanks for everybody who wanted to help me. Now everything works perfect without extra programmer because my cables have unlocked bootloader.

Thanks all (ecpecially Roma77, Mario6 and others who sent me pm's)

I am glad that I was able to help you, I can help everyone on the team with difficulties with the firmware, just do not take what has fallen on Ali, there is a good store with a large selection and guarantees of obd2cartool adapters. It is very easy to work with them for flashing.

Hello, today I tried the HEX-V2 that I bought on 26th of January this year.
Link: https://www.obd2cartool.com/atmega-v...hipping-p-1554


I plugged it into my Laptop and windows gives me this error in Device manager: ''This device cannot start (Code 10) A request for the device descriptor failed''
Windows also gives me a notification saying: ''USB Device Malfunctioned and Not Recognized''


I have another HEX-V2 clone from Ebay and it works perfectly on my VCDS 18.9 German version with Kolimer 7.2 loader.


So it looks like this device was dead on arrival
or is there something else I can try?
Should I take a look inside maybe?

Check the cable, take the cable from the working adapter, try to remove and reinstall the driver as administrator, turn off the digital signature check if you have Windows 8 or 8.1.
If you don’t succeed, you can connect a TeamViewer 14 and see

Thanks but I tried all the basic stuff already.
After forcing the drivers I get the Code 10 Device could not start.
I have it getting power from the Car and everything...
Like I said the Ebay clone doesn't give me any errors, even when I plug it in without 12V it is recognized as a Rosstech Adapter.
I even tried to re-flash it but its not recognized at all.

I'll see what the seller says.

No, he did not want to.

I do not remember exactly but I probably had a similar problem with the cable (18.2.0 EN). I had to install VCDS BLOCK.BAT first and then it started working. Later I updated it to 18.9.0 EN and PL.

[eee291]

The Block.bat seems to just edit the drivers hosts file, I still tried it but no Dice.
I've had the same message from windows when I fried my UART adapter because I shorted 48V through it
I had to replace a little chip on it to get it working again.
But I have no clue what could be wrong here.
I snapped some pictures of the PCB, excuse the bad lighting.

I also noticed that it's very difficult to plug it into my OBD port.
The plastic edges are not rounded as well as the Ebay clone.
Might as well buy another Ebay Adapter I guess, at least when it comes to the HEX-V2.

It was all on the CD I got along with the cable from OBD 2 Cartool. For me it worked and later I made the update via usb with the help of V 7.2.
