Initialisation error usually means there is a config or cable issue. If you try an ident on the TCU or DSC module do you get a response?
With the MSDx I believe they can only gain access to the Tricore if it is healthy. I think if it really is hard bricked then they wont be able to get the keys to enter "boot mode".

yeah i don't think the full hardware would be bricked, since the MSD81 is pretty stout from what i've read, however according to my reading, it is possible it is stuck in a boot loop and would require a board based over ride like you get from a Alientech KESS3, Hexprog ETC.
all other modules connected and populated in Protool just fine, just couldn't get DME to say "hello" at all
i also dont' have a bench setup to test off car by powering the wake up pin power pin Ground and CAN PT pins, i also don't have a crimper, the pins, and the time/patience to make a bench OBD box ATM since i'm having to re-orient myself back to night shift after my week and a half vacation.
i beleive NFS was able to pull soem kind of HEX data off it, but not fully communicate with it.
i wanted to try and get the BMW coding tools to work and setup the files fully but missing MSCOMCTL.OCX and even the windows download for VB 6.0 won't put it on my machine for some stupid reason
Another issue i found was the ZUSB files none of them matched the usual suspects for MSD81 N54 numbering sequence. had the right .prg files though.. but not a single .0pa and .0da file matched the numbering sequence from what i was able to find for V69 MSD80/81 Datens, so F me for daten files.
either way DME is in a box on a ups truck now with CAS3 and FOB. and as much as i'd like to learn this particular stuff more and make sure i have all the right files and tool32 project/item requests, it's such distorted, tribal, debased knowledge it's infuriating. especially when you have to go to multiple different sites to even attempt to get the full picture and knowledge and even then it's with a grain of salt cause it could be false information or expired information.
all this to say i TRIED to get this thing opened up for recovery from like 10 AM till almost sundown and ran in circles trying to find all the stuff and project requests all cause BMW has a stick up their ass and so does autotuner/alientech/etc for the info and files needed and MEGA keeps kicking files offline too so F them as well.
