Open Flash Tablet Help :(

I recently just received a used oft. I am unable to download my ecu on oft because the original owner still has his on it. Is there anyway to do a factory reset using open flash manager software? He called OFT and they said I would have to use the open flash manager and reset it to default, but I don't see that as a option anywhere??


Thank you!!!

You need to unmarry it from his ecu. I'm not the biggest Oft expert but I'm running it myself and bought it used as well. The original owner had to unmarry it from his ecu before I could do anything with it.

Well that's not good because the original owner lives in Oregon. He said he downloaded the original software onto his ecu?

I think Open Flash Manager is the computer program, not the tablet. If you buy a new OFT and you flash a preloaded stage, you'll never need to download OFM. If OpenFlash is telling you to do a factory reset through OFM, you may need to download and install it.

to reflash the oft back to unmarried/factory the original owner needed to flash his car with his original factory tune.

Contact the seller

Download OFM to a PC or tablet, connect the OFT via USB, and do a factory reset.

Also, @shiv@vishnu is the guru, he can better answer.

Thought they were based in the East Bay? Isn't it just 3:30 there?

Update: Just called the number on their website and someone answered.

Not sure what to make of this thread at this point.
