OpenFlash Tablet Error - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Flight_School · 03-06-2015, 06:47 PM

So the other day, I was planning to write my original file back into my brz, plugged everything in, made sure it was secure, followed the on screen instructions and every time I tried to write, it says error, file can't be written to the ecu, please try again.

The last time I wrote was about 2-3 weeks ago. I updated the OFT to the best of my knowledge, turned off music, all unnecessary electrical items, and still no success.

Has anyone had any issues like this before?

I already tried emailing the OFT team but I'm getting the feeling they are over busy.

Your headlights off?

Your genius is requested.

Flight_School · 03-06-2015, 07:04 PM

Yes my headlights were off each time.

continuecrushing · 03-06-2015, 07:04 PM

did you make sure the cable was seated in the OFT and the obdII connector?

is the stock tune already flashed?

Flight_School · 03-06-2015, 07:06 PM

Yes I double, then triple checked to make sure all the cables were pushed in properly in both the OFT and the OBDII connectors.

No, the stock tune is not already flashed. Not only can I not flash the stock tune, I can't flash any tune that was saved.

Rewrite the tune on the tablet and try again.

I don't understand, what do you mean by re-write the original tune?

steve99 · 03-06-2015, 09:05 PM

Check if diagnostics work, if diagnostics ie real time logging works then connection to ecu is ok.

Try to write your original tune from the protected slot.

Make sure ignition is FULLY ON not just accessory but engine not running.

Dianostics was working. I downloaded the original file, and re uploaded it in the save file number 5 and it is currently writing, so idk what happened but i hope it works now, i see the writing bar so i just have to keep my fingers crossed!

raven1231 · 03-06-2015, 09:16 PM

Flight_School · 03-06-2015, 09:19 PM
