Is the Thor adapter the only option to flash or can we use a wired solution?

Been Friday here for 18 hours now... No updates on Google Play and the cable I use for MHD does not do the job.

Patience, patience.......

insane11 · 01-25-2019, 05:18 AM

just msg them on fb.. they reply 1-2 hr update will go live

Eschmacher · 01-25-2019, 06:22 AM

They updated their website!

Super license for zf8 is a little pricier :/ $350 EUR

I also don't see any mention of a general zf8 license? Possibly forcing us to go with the super license out of the gate... Whatever, was gonna buy that anyway 😆

Edit: Yup, zf8 is super license only, found this in the new xhp manual:
"Please note, that the General Flash License is only
available for 6-Speed models!"

insane11 · 01-25-2019, 06:35 AM

I'm guessing they spend so much time R&D so they forcing us to get the super license to recouped some money back lol

insane11 · 01-25-2019, 07:52 AM

okay so just finish flashing.. only took 5 min to back up stock map and 3 min to flash stage 2 map using thor

Eschmacher · 01-25-2019, 08:08 AM

Was there an update to the app on the play store? Or does the old one work?

Edit: Nevermind, I got it! It's live!

there was no update show.. but when uninstalled the app and reinstall it.. they show the latest update jan 25

pongkin · 01-25-2019, 09:52 AM

there was an update in the google store i updated it
connected my car using the k/dcan inpa cable from amazon and the usb to ctype adapter that came with my samsung note phone and worked like a charm

bought the license, it took about 9mins to install then 1 min to flash the stg

i am worried now... now read that its a 3 step process for the first time but it wasnt for me? i didnt see backup. All i got was connect-install-then it says u are ready to flash- so i went and flash the stg.

when i go to the options under misc. i see Flash Stock so im guessing it auto backups when stg flash was installed hmm im not sure but its there

insane11 · 01-25-2019, 10:07 AM

its did the back up when you click install which took about 5 min. then the flash map which took 4 min..

pongkin · 01-25-2019, 10:10 AM

ok good, just wondering cuz in the manual process was a bit different, i guess they got rid of the process for easier use

now have to drive at least 50 miles for the transmission to adapt then push it to the limit how it feels , 50 miles is too long haha

ChrisFulton · 01-25-2019, 10:15 AM

OK, for you guys that flashed, go race around your town and come back and tell us what you think.

XxThe_RemedyXx · 01-25-2019, 10:21 AM

Waiting for some feedback before trigger is pulled

insane11 · 01-25-2019, 10:21 AM

it just shift faster and smoother it seem .. but i just wanted to see the gear number in D so that why i flash it..

Eschmacher · 01-25-2019, 10:37 AM

I'm about to go flash and go for a drive. I'll give you guys an update in about 2-3 hours.

hmmm a waste cuz i dont think ill be using it, would be good for those doing fine tuning custom maps i guess

Eschmacher · 01-25-2019, 11:03 AM

Just successfully flashed
Oneplus 5, usb-c otg, bimmergeeks pro cable

Took 5 minutes for initial install, 40 seconds for map flash.

bdragon46 · 01-25-2019, 11:40 AM

Would love some feedback on 3rd and 6th gear torque limits and if you're able to stay in sport/sport+ with DSC off

Simon89 · 01-25-2019, 11:54 AM

Seems a lot of money - would maybe have been tempted but not at that cost.
