    we are working on adding in TSB - Updating into the flasher



    We will definitely get that part clarified. When the prompt tells you that you're finished, it's all done flashing. Can disconnect and good to go.



    it's being updated at the moment, but previously, it's likely due to so many people trying to update at once

    Thanks, Mat. Once “Prepare ECU” is successful do I have to flash a file? Is the ECU essentially back to stock? Also how to reset LV and AT with new flasher? Tks.

    "prepare" ecu only does a few things
    1. gets the ECU information (VIN/ID/etc)
    2. communicates with our server
    3. Tells the ECU it will be flashed

    that's all it does. Doesn't flash anything, you can disconnect and stop, shut off, do whatever, etc.




    Reset AT, Reset LV has been temporarily removed. They will return, with even more features. But not until we have some clearer information about when they should be used. Because those two buttons have caused so much confusion for folks, and so much bad info about it on here.

    - All should be good for flashing - and I have tested here again.



    Thanks all. Any issues >>> Zendesk.


    More goodies are on the way. Especially for MT folks. Lot more Throttle control / related tables.

    it's OK, as long as you get the prompt that flashing is done. Shut the truck off, start up.

    There will be a little left but you will get a message saying installation complete...turn off power. Turn off power and you can start the truck, if the install screen is still up hit the X to close. Mat said in eariler posts P493...#9854.

    Edit: OR Post above....he can type faster than me.:thumbsup:
