Reviews on Edc15c11 Read write with kess, ktag, mpps, galletto

To read and write Bosch edc15c11 for a Volvo xc90 2.4d5 2005 model, which ecu programmer? how? what about kess, ktag, mpps etc?

1. MPPS: worked

Only boot mode
I’m did this ECU in boot with MPPS 

2. Kess V2 via bootmode: worked

I made a few of these ECUs from Kess V2 via bootmode without any problems.

Guide: Use the help files of ksuite… its easy…

3. fgtech galletto: worked

I read EDC15C11 just a few days ago with fgtech galletto

and used the diagram posted below:

No problem reading/writing. FYI, you have to make checksum before writing new file, since galletto does not support chksum correction on these ECUs

4. MPPS: worked too

Mpps in bootmode, use bosch generic protocol. Works fine done it several times.
Ore you can desolder chip and use a eprom programmer.
I had no sucsess with kess ore ktag. Ktag would only write backup, and not the 29f200 only.
I use ktag to make backup, and read and write 29f200 with mpps in bootmode.

5. fgtech galletto on boot mode… very easy.

Read documents boot mode fgtech…

 

Good luck!

Ktag Review: Remap 2010 Golf GTI MK6

Have Ktag to remap 2010 Golf GTI MK6 with Bosch MED17.5 ECU. This article is available with the procedure.

 

1. Open ECU…

 

2. Connect the wires by following the wiring diagram.

 

3. Reading Bosch MED17.5.

4. Write into the ecu.

 

5. Writing the ECU.

 

6. Writing successfully.

 

7. Getting ready to go for a try.

8. Starting fine.

Conclusion:

The second gear you floor it and it just spins the wheels it’s just tarmac and unbelievable, and easily being norm until about 3K, I believe these engines they are like high torque midrange that’s where you can play a little bit with him, but Ktag did a really good job, it is absolutely fantastic.

After 3k it just goes it really goes and I’ve been driving the car now for about 20 minutes to make sure there’s no lights no nothing. It’s driving absolutely fine by the power, it’s really good.

(Solved)kess v2 2.47 clone read ecu tmax 2007 error "Invalid protocol file"

Trying to use a kess v2 2.47 clone to read an ecu of tmax 2007 and when I click on its protocol I get the error ""Invalid protocol file".


Possible reason:
You have maybe bad protocol file for this ECU on SD card.

Solution:
SD image needs to be created for CID Number SD-card.
Follow the below guide to creation SD card for Kess and Ktag:

 SD Creation Guide for Kess V2 & K-Tag (5.017 & 7.020):
Tools / Software that you will need:

• Winhex (full version is recommended)
• Xorfiles
• win32diskimager

The files I used to do my Kess SD Card, where made / shared by Svvag2000 (Give a Big Thanks to him) and you can search online for this tutorial / files (Guide to creation SD card for Kess and Ktag):

• Kess_5.017 (decrypted SD Image for Kess 5.017)
• KTag_7.020 (decrypted SD Image for KTag 7.020)
• KeyFileGenerator.cmd (Script to generate KeyFile needed)

You can review this video Svvag200 made for help on the procedures:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE2xVdhSFew

#1: Insert your SD Card in the Card Reader, and Open WinHex
#2: Hit F9 and Select the SD Card / Drive Letter:


#3: Select “Edit – Select All”

#4: Select “Edit – Fill Block”, and make sure value is “00” – Hit OK


Depending on your SD Card Size and reader/system, this might take a while. (my 16Gb Kingston took 30min. so, grab a few beers )

#5: After this is done, you need to remove the SD Card, and put in the device (Kess / KTag), connect to the computer and open KSuite.
Note: If you get the error “External exception EEFFACE”, don’t freak-out. I also had it. Just try several times, connect / disconnect tool from computer or try to leave the tool connected for some minutes, and them open again K-Suite. (I also had to try more than 10times with one of my cards)
Some say the protocols, should be “greyed out”, but in my case they where normal. When I tried to “open” the protocol it just gave me the “No Protocol Found” warning.
After this is done, disconnect the tool from computer and remove SD Card.
#6: Insert SD Card into the Computer, and Open again in WinHex (same as point #2)
#7: Select “Edit – Define Block” – End (Write the blocks we need to select and hit “OK”)

These are the Blocks Value: 000000D0 - 0000019F

#8: Select “Edit – Copy Block – Into New File” (a window will pop out for you to save this new file in the desired location)


Give the file name: “Key” and save it.


#9: Then we need to run the script / batch file “KeyFileGenerator.cmd”


Note: The “Key” file we generated, must be in the same location as the script/batch file.
Some files will be created, but we just need the “KeyFile.bin”, and it should have 127,139,792 bytes.
#10: We format the SD Card in FAT / FAT32 (I don’t think you guys need help on this one)


#11: We copy the content of the folder “Kess_5.017” (decrypted SD Image for Kess 5.017) to the SD Card.


#12: Then, we open again the SD Card in WinHex (same as #2)
#13: Then we do the same as #3 and #8 (Select All & Copy Block Into New File)


Note: Now, assuming your SD is bigger than ±122mb, we need to “cut” the image file we just made.
#14: Open in WinHex, the Image we just created (if you didn’t close, it might be already open in WinHex) and repeat the same operation as #7 & #8, but this time with this block sizes: 0-793FFFF

This is the file we need to use combined with the “Key” file we made in #9. The file should have 127,139,792 bytes
#15: Now we open “XorFiles.exe” and select the files by this order:
FileName 1: KeyFile.bin (Created in #9)
FileName 2: Decrypt_SD.img (Created in #14)
FileName 3: This is the File we Need for our “New SD Card” – Give the Name and Location you like.


#16: New we just need to “Write” our Image file in the New SD Card.
Open and select the drive you want to “write”, select the Image File and hit “Write”:


After this is done, you can put the Sd Card in the Tool, and your all set…
(Finally, you can have some more beers )
NOTE: I´m not the author of any of the information shared in this file. I just put this together to make life easier to other people that might be finding hard to have this SD Card made.
All Credits must go to the Author of these Files (Svvag200), and at least to “pocinas” that made me clear point #14.
I hope this works for you guys… Cheers to All…

Big thanks to @ boxsport (DK forum member).

Is Ktag 7.026 better than Ktag 7.020?

Is it worth buying a new tool just for this upgrade?

See how do people think of this?

Discussion at http://mhhauto.com/

1

This 7.026 update is all ready available from EU. “Problem ” is resetting. NXP need replace when time to reset tokens, after 30 writing. That can do few times if have good skills and good tools for this.

2

when you turn 1 job down you will think l should off upgraded , alot more gpt connections on newer ecu,s

3

7.026 is the one with 3 NXP mcu’s . everyone with 30 writings. i use it allow. all working ok and i think by the time i will use all 90 writings a new tool will come.

4

if you need Denso Nec NBD family the only tool doing this 100% is my 7.026. 7.020 will NOT MAKE DENSO NEC NBD even 15%. there may be 1 or 2 of the ecus it can do but that’s it. and no one aside from us can offer you 7.026 as its socketed solution. anyone who tells you 7.020 can make denso nec nbd 100% is just gonna take your money

5

I have ktag 7.026. Tool is OK.
Although it requires a good coffee machine… my reworked ktag 6.070 is MUCH faster

6

Ktag firmware 7.026 have MCU for change

Ktag firmware 7.020 not reset CFG

7

Ktag 7.026 TOKENS 30 in 1 MCU

Ktag 7.020 UNLIMITED

8

This ktag has some nice features like toyota denso or VAG GPT edc17c74

9

some EU seller claims that he has version without tokens limit.

10
Ktag 7.026 Russian clone has fixed firmware with token count stopped.
I use kess and ktag. No any headache. No heating to unlock, no nxp changing.
11
For kess v2, As i know, for 5+ firmware, protocol files crypted individually for each original.
You can’t update different devices with same files.

Since Kess V2 4.036 a lot of protection added.
For ktag, i think, the same.
Take care before spend 2000+

In summary, there are good and bad reviews of ktag 7.026. Hint for you, do not rush into new versions. Time will tell you good or not. Before this, go for Ktag firmware 7.020.
