Mhd flash problems!! Help

modern_citizen24 · 09-13-2015, 06:44 PM

Car won't flash getting hw:ffffffff then when it does decide to start writing it fails at 8% and says can't write packet 516 and various other packets. Tried flashing back to start and can't, car won't start and lights are going haywire. Assistance needed!

Did you follow the notes that make sure you have battery charger hooked up? Yourncar ran out of battery juice. If you have a car battery charger hook it up. If not use another car as if your jump starting it and let it hooked up until the flash is done. Dont freak out. Mhd flash is pretty safe.

You car battery tethered when you try to reconnect your dme?

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 07:52 AM

It connected once then failed...and yes I've messaged him said it was the battery but I just tried with a full charge and nothing

RnmEvo9 · 09-14-2015, 07:54 AM

Which cable do you have?

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 07:57 AM

Dcan cable from amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008MY1F8W/ref=oh_aui_i_d_rec_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 08:10 AM

Idk what else it could be

JasW · 09-14-2015, 08:18 AM

From what I've read, the cables from Amazon are only hit or miss -- that is, they either connect and work, or they don't. I've not read of any that connect and then fail. Someone mentioned their OTG cable only had intermittent connections before they replaced it, though. If you want to make sure it's not the DCAN cable, the bimmer software . com cable is the cheapest one ($40) that is essentially guaranteed to work.

The only time I got all Fs was when I didn't have a charger connected while flashing. Once I connected a charger and set it for 10 amps, I was able to flash to stock and then flash to a map. I wouldn't rely upon a battery with a full charge; I will only flash with a charger connected.

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 08:28 AM

Charger is on it and now it won't connect at all, I unplugged the battery in the back and will be trying again hopefully it resets? I don't have any other tune on my car and this is the first time I flashed anything. Help would be appreciated

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 08:53 AM

Anybody?

modern_citizen24 · 09-14-2015, 08:57 AM

My dcan cable came with a disk was that needed in any way?

stanlalee · 09-14-2015, 09:40 AM

Disc not needed. Go into settings, apps and find MHD app. Force close, clear cache and data and try again. My cheap OTG connector is finicky so don't move it or the phone during the process in case it's like mine. If that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall the app and try again. Make sure the battery is charged and battery charger connected while u attempt. Your dme might have gone into recovery mod. With the BB flash you could force a write and bring it out. Not sure what to do when it happens with MHD.

Ok thanks I will try that. I did try it on my Samsung tablet also this morning with a full charge and it did not work either

CanadianTSi · 09-14-2015, 11:00 AM

Try boosting it with another vehicle. Your charger may not have enough juice.

The charger I have now is a 10 amp hooked up to the engine bay. Voltage at 12.6-12.9. Would I still need to hook it up to another vehicle?
