I have had the stage 1 bootmod3 flash tune for a few weeks now. I just installed a Catless Downpipe today, and tried to reflash the car after. I only changed the aggression for my burbles and turned off catalytic monitoring. When I try to tune, it gets to the "clearing all codes from ECU" stage, and then fails. I haven't even seen it get to 0% yet. I do not have any antivirus software or anything running and my battery is charged. I'm not sure what to do please help

open support ticket to PTF.
I have the same problem, and use this method do the trick. Restart the laptop, cycle ignition 3x time and leaves at acc, then connect again after laptop restart, then use the force flash and unlock (diag only).

I clicked the request support button but they haven't gotten back to me. Hoping they will by tomorrow. I tried restarting my MacBook, clicked it three times multiple times, tried using a windows laptop, hooked it up to a battery charger, drove it, force flash and unlock, and nothing worked.

Yes. I drove the car around after the flash error. The connection looks fine on the bm3 obd agent. Really not sure what's wrong. Still waiting on customer support. Here's a screenshot of the fail

Where did you get your esys cable? Are you able to use inpa to read the ecu? Basically check if you can “code” the car but don’t save changes. That will tell you if the esys cable is working.

The cable should be fine. Got it from amazon it was the genuine BMW one in pretty sure. Also the bootmod3 website says the vehicle is connected. The support team told me they updated the obd agent and that it should solve my issue. I'm going to try it in the next day or two and will report back.

Yeah just wanted to double check. I got one on amazon too but it was junk. I got it on amazon too but amazon.com doesn’t sell these parts resellers do. If you check the bottom right near the pricing, it says “sold by xxxx fulfilled by amazon”. I returned it and got one from a different reseller everything worked after that. I was super frustrated at first. Everything would look fine but then fails. This was for coding but I’m sure bm3 would work similar if the cable was junk.

I have issue... made a thread and open a ticket, ptf responded right away. Problem is not similar to yours but try updating or uninstall and reinstall your agent...with antivirus/ security app turn off as PTF response said
