Bootmod3 Flash Failed HELP
Looking for suggestions from people who have gone through a similar situation. While flashing my car it failed at 4%. Now it fails before start. I have a ticket open but I would prefer to get my car running again as soon as possible because tech support doesn't work on the weekends. Any suggestions I should try?
Battery charger connected, tried to flash without checks, tried DME reset, tried to flash to stock. All came back with the same error |

Are you sitting in the driver's seat with the door closed and seatbelt on? If so, your battery just isn't charged enough. What is the amp rating and model of the charger?

Don't do that. With 15 Amps you need to wait a pretty significant time for the battery to be at a good charge level. Make sure everything including lights and angel eyes are off, and just keep trying. In the past I just keep trying and it eventually works.
DeWalt sells a 30A charger that works really well for this stuff, not sure why some N55's can have so much trouble with bootmod3 unlocks though. Last edited by doodlebro; 10-20-2018 at 04:08 PM.. |

I've had similar issues before and it was due to the battery being discharged if possible try and connect your car with jumper cables to another running car and let it charge for a couple minutes then try flashing again with it still connected to the other car

Maybe you got something blocking it too. When I help people out its usually because they got their windows defender or firewall still on. They turn it all off and it goes right through
