You need to make a mandatory backup of your TCU file which takes about 30-40 min. Once that's been done you can purchase a license for the ability to flash custom and OTS maps. The OTS maps are for separate purchase to the license to flash and the maps themselves are priced separately (Stage 1, 2 and 3).

This is where it went pear shaped. I attempted to download the OTS stage 3 map then flash and the flash failed unexpectedly about 25% in, an error within the app. The car is in a bit of a hung state and the app refuses to reflash on top of this. I've reset the TCU via the additional options tab and tried to restore the flash to my original backup. This ALSO fails, similarly to how the OTS map failed.


I've reached out to xHP for support on this and will pick this up again tomorrow morning. I might try migrate the backup to a separate android device and test to see if this is possibly device/android firmware related?
Did you have it in airplane mode on the phone? This has to be done when flashing
