Hondata

Hello,

I am planning to purchase another ECU to ship to you guys at Hondata because I do not want my car to be stranded. Did the new ECU have to be rewritten from the old ecu information or could I just ship the physical ecu and you guys can rewrite it on your end?

In all honesty I am just a consumer trying to enjoy his car but running into issues and being a middle man is not my forte in this situation.

All I know is when the maps failed to upload he ended up reinstalling my stock map to get me going because he told
Me he backed it up. After contacting you ...

Just spoke to APH. Brian the tuner states that he still has my original data and can reboot the ecu back to the way it was. He was mentioning that he could send you guys the data to potentially save myself the hassle from shipping the ecu. Would that work?

I see. Do you guys still offer ECU cloning for the 2020?

We are going in circles. If the ECU was restored with backup then it is the same as the stock ECU. Thus you can jailbreak it by sending it in if you wish. If the ECU had the 2017-2019 jailbreak then it would not be possible to jailbreak it again correctly.


My apologies, did not completely ...

The shop did back up the stock tune and put it back on and currently drives fine. The flashpro is still locked to the vehicle tho.

If I understand correctly you are saying since this shop tried to incorrectly jailbreak it I am unable to properly jailbreak it in the future? Therefore how would I ...

The ECU can be jailbroken, but it requires a different method than the 2017-2019 ECU. I don't think most tuning shops are aware of this.

None of the 2020 ECUs can be instant jailbroken; this is for other reasons.


Okay, I understand what you mean. I will wait till Hondata offers instant ...

First, you could be waiting forever for an instant jailbreak. Second, the instant jailbreak will not fix a 2017-2019 boot sector in a 2020 ECU.


Sorry could you clarify what you mean by a 17-19 boot sector in a 2020? Are you saying my ECU cannot be instant jail broken due to APH tried to use the ...

Okay I understand. What is the best way to approach this situation? Ship the ecu to you guys at Hondata?

And this.

I sent the support information from flashpro manager. Attached is also the versions. I informed APH that it most likely wasn't loading due to the jailbreak. Any support how to jailbreak for them or should I just wait till Hondatas instant jail break is released.

Sounds good. I will confirm when I am in the vehicle. Thanks for the assistance.

Do not have the car of flashpro currently as I am at work but I can confirm it is the latest software as I checked it on my own last night as well.

Hi,

I got my new 2020 type r jail broken at an authorized dealer here in Toronto NextmodXAPH.

While they were flashing the vehicle three times the flash pro failed to upload giving it an error message: failure information: code 0x7f step 15 address 0x1FFF0.

Any reason this would happen and how ...
