VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[mattydr67]

Ok thanks for the hint
I know how to reflash ATMEGA, but I could use some help, how to refash FTDI232BL
Can you help me please?

Using MProg and the ept file for FTDI BL/BM
For FTDI RL it is diffren of course

Good luck

Hello, I new in this area so please be patience with me. I read almost the entire thread but when you start something is kind a confuse to understand everything.

I have a cable 11.8 that i want to update to 11.11 (see pics attach) and is not broken. The cable has this components: FT232BL, 93c56wp, atmega162.

I think is importan to say that the cable doesn?t have T5 and IC8, but it does have R50.

So with this information, what to i have to do first, i think is somenthing similar to a case that is in page 204 and 206 but i'm not sure.

Thank you in advance for your kindly support. Regards from Guatemala

You just have to program Atmega with a proper dump.

Hi, i have exactly similar cable, but originally with version 11.11.0. I managed to kill it with internet connection accidentally on. Vcds says it?s not registered so i can?t use it properly anymore.

So in order to restore it (11.11.0 is ok for me, no need for update) should i just follow the tutorial from message #95, but instead of using old dumps, i use files from message # 3157?

And just to make sure, i don?t have to remove any components since i don?t have T5 or IC8?

Thanks in advance!

My thread is more about "Finding good dump"...

Hello. Have You dump for vcds 10.6 ?

[rsebastian]

You just have to program Atmega with a proper dump.

Ok, so this is what i dont know how, i mean it's not clear for me.

1.- To program Atmega i have to use Ponyprog?
2.- Do I have to do the same procedure with Ponyprog described in the tutorial that appers in the firsts pages?
3.- If i have to do the same procedure of the tutorial... do i have to solder the 4 wires to the Atmega?
4.- The dump for atmega is the file named "dump.bin" right?

Thanks again for your support. A step by step will be apreciate here or by pm.

Regards from Guatemala.

Hello
I'm looking for a reliable seller, you have the vcds with ATMEGA162 and FTDI232BL.
Also that the motherboard is like this, for soldering, a newbie like me.
I find nothing.
Do you know of any?

I have bought USBasp and I have a problem now.
I can't use Ponyprog with it. I have connected my Atmega with extreme burner and this program need separate file for flash and for eeprom. How can I modify single hex with flash and eeprom to separate files? Or maybe somebody have them converted for 11.11.0 version?

you can separate file to Flash and eeprom with Ponyprog

Yu can't use USBasp with ponyprog
With Ponyprog use AVR ISP (STK200/300) parallel port interface


Good luck

I have opened "Atmega162_flash_and_eeprom 11.11.0.hex" file in Ponyprog and there are four options:
-Save Device file
-Save Device file as
-Save Program (FLASH) file as
-Save Data (EEPROM) file as

When I click third option and choice *.hex, it looks similiar to hex file which I have read from my cable, same size, same addresses. So I think it's ok.


When I click fourth option and choice *.eep file have 16 kilo and very different then file which I have read from cable (original *.eep have 553 bytes). When I choice *.hex in fourth option it look like original *.eep but it's hex, can I use this hex eeprom file if it looks like original eep file but it's hex?

In attachment "myfirmware.zip" is dump which I have read from my cable. In second zip there is original hex file which have flash and eeprom, other two files I have made with ponyprog, can somebody tell that they are ok?

In 99% the Atmega it is protected. So the dump will not be good.
Anyway try it and if it dosen't work conatact me in PM and I will give you the dump for VCDS 11.11.0 in hex or in bin file for PonyProg if you like.
Well from what I know this dump was shared here in this thread but if you don't want to read a lot of stuff you can call me
Good luck

I have VCDs cable like in post #3233:
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ml#post1695593

Label on wire says VCDS 11.20 EN and I work with VCDS 11.3 Millenium.

I want to update it to 11.11.0, I have converted single hex from this forum to separate hex with flash and separate with eeprom. I use USBasp with Extreme Burner AVR for flashing.

After programming, cable is unregistered when I connect it to car. Maybe it's because of Windows 7 64bit? Serial is for 11.11.0 after programming.

In your interface you don't need to unsolder the STC, no unsolder anything
Just reflash Atmega
For this you need eeprom.hex and flsah.hex files
And then set the Fuse bits
BUt I suggest you before you reflash you interface to reisntall your OS and install back a fresh VCDS 11.11.0
Then reflash you Atmega, set the right fuse bits and use it. BUT do not use internet connection ever in that computer where you have installed the VCDS softwear.
Check the reflashing pads continuite near the USB pads
Item are like this. ( starting from USB once ) 3, 2,1, 4
(Atmega pins)
Good luck

I have converted this 11.11.0 dump to two files and now I have tested it on virtual Windows XP, it works perfect, all time without internet. So I think that clone shouldn't work on 64bit system.

Anytime when I tested 11.11.0 on Win7 x64 I have installed fresh 11.11.0 and cable was unregistered. So I have to use VCDS on virtual XP.

11.11.0 should work on win 7 x64
but you did not install the right drivers
