Open flash tablet updated itself...

Long story short, I plugged in my OFT and its been AGES since. It updated and now when I plug it into the car it says "ERROR" "tuning file mismatching, ECU write denied." when I try to add new tunes or anything on Open flash manager, it tells me the tablets never been married to a vehicle. I've put in a support ticket on the OFT website but who knows how long that'll take...ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much in advance!

I've been disabling my internet connection when using the OFT manager, I got tired of it taking forever to do whatever it was doing. I hope you get your problem fixed!

Somebody posted this problem in the OFT Support group (FaceBook) and after alot of trail and error this was a working solution (for him). Don't know if it will work for you:

Quote:
Requires an email to OpenFlash so they can put your serial # on the list (that's the way it sounds anyway)... Here's the email I got:
________________________
Here are the recovery instructions for your OFT Serial number.
This process will erase your OFT, making your device "new" again, and ready for installation on a new car.

First, navigate to "C:/Openflash"
In this directory, look for a FOLDER named as your OFT serial number: E0040100XXXXXXXX
If this folder exists, please connect your OFT and launch Openflash Manager. This *should* successfully recover your OFT. If the folder does not exist, or your OFT is still not working properly, read on.
Please download and install the software found here -> http://www.alientech.to/xnote/sw/pwg...overySetup.exe

Disable any anti virus or firewall/internet connection blocking software
Connect your OFT to your PC via the USB cable,
Launch the software you've downloaded from this email.
Choose "Check Unique File". NOTE: If you see no error messages, and no messages indicating 'this devices is not authorized for recovery", then choose the Recovery button when prompted.
After the software is done, you should witness a success message window.
Choose OK, and then close the software.
Without disconnecting, launch Openflash Manager, and allow the software to finalize any updates as needed.
When the update window disappears, close OpenFlash Manager.
Disconnect your OFT USB cable, and then reconnect.
Re-launch OpenFlash Manager.
After OpenFlash Manager loads again, take a look at your OFT screen. What do you see as the background image?

1. If your image is black/missing, then you'll need to update you template file before the OFT is ready to you.
Download the proper template for your OFT, and go to the Template tab in Openflash manager. Choose the brwose button and select the template file you've downloaded. Select "Start". Allow this operation to finish.
If your OFT background images is "normal" (not a black background - then your OFT should be ready to use.

Lastly, the recovery software will only run successfully one time for any unique (authorized) serial number. Uninstall the recovery software from your PC when finished.

One "internet" to the person who can find the correct template file on the OFT site.
