Xdelete nightmare
Trying to flash my car back to awd and the app starts saying that I didn’t buy the flasher. I’ve used the app for over a year now. Tried updating, reinstalling app and phone, still same thing and it’s the right account as I can flash xhp on it aswell. I was in an emergency situation as it was pouring snow out of no where. I ended up buying the flasher again which I’m sure will be refunded back to me but the funny part is, I tried to flash it and it would keep failing and giving me ‘Error occurred, please look at manual’ in the middle of the flash. When I gave up and started the car, I had the traction limp mode errors and had no traction control and still was rwd. I tried two different android phones and they both gave me the same issue. After it would fail flashing it would actually stop detecting that the ignition was on as well. And of course my battery would die right after all those failed attempts.

This app worked great until the decided to change everything to the whole login business. I specifically called them out on this problem and they ignored it. It's all in the thread that was locked after they stopped being a paid vender on this site. Wish I could help. Sorry man. |

Is your battery ok? Have you tried flashing while having it connected to a charger ?

I've never liked apps like these because there is a high chance of user error.
If your battery was low after a couple flash attempts, the voltage was probably too low to flash the module. I've ran into that login issue before but was able to restore the license just fine within the app. I always use a power supply connected to the car when flashing, even with xDelete. A battery tender is not a power supply. A battery tender only supplies about 1-2 amps to trickle charge a battery. A power supply will provide 40+ amps of continuous power. At the very least, connect your car to another with jumper cables and leave the donor car running. This way the donor cars alternator will maintain voltage above 12v for proper flashing. |

Once you log in once it stores the key on our device for 365 days so you dont have to log in again. Just in case I always log in once at home before going out for the day incase the mood hits me on the way home and I want to be sure.

All the attempts I've done flashing have been with a booster pack connected. I tried to flash xHP and it doesn't even start the flash and automatically gives me the error before flashing (thank god). I sent logs from both apps to RBT and they have told me my modules are in "boot mode" and to basically disconnect my battery for 10 mins. I have disconnected my battery for 20 mins and put it back and I still get the same errors at the same time. I'm starting to think its more serious than just a connection issue. A month ago I had an engine swap done and the shop put in a lesser mileage torque converter/flex plate/valve body along with fluid and pan change. Apparently, they had to code the valve body because it needed to get married to the dme/engine. Im worried this has affected something or maybe something was not coded properly.

What is the resting voltage of the battery? Take this measurement after letting the car sit for at least 20 mins. If you take a reading right after putting a charger or running the motor (charging via alternator), you will have a surface charge on the battery. If resting voltage is below 12v, modules will abort flash. ISTA doesn't even allow flashing if voltage is under 13.8v or something like that....which can only be reached/maintained with a proper power supply. |

*Solved*
Was told that my VGSG90 / VGS module was in boot mode, along with the tranny by RBT. Told me to disconnect battery for 10 mins and try again. So I did that and tried again with my kdcan cable and it failed yet again. Then I figured out thanks to you guys that the MHD adapter works with xdelete/xhp aswell. So I thought if the cable was faulty, it would probably have sent the modules to boot mode again. I disconnected the battery again for 10 mins and tried again, but this time with the MHD adapter. I tried flashing to "xDrive ON" but it failed and gave me an error. Then I clicked "Flash back to stock settings" which is found in the top right corner (xDrive on basically) and it worked! Tried xDrive off and it worked again and I guess I fixed the black loophole I was in. I tried clicking the flash back to stock setting before with my cable too but it would fail. I guess the cable must've been faulty or not strong enough even though I've used it countless times in the past. Weird

Did you read the thread? He did try a Bimmer Geeks cable. Glad you got your issue sorted. Sounds like an odd situation. I have been tempted by xdelete, the custom in-between settings would be awesome. However seeing these types of issues scare me from pulling the trigger lol. Why were they banned or thread locked? Its by the same guys who make XHP and that is absolutely excellent.
