Sorry if I didn't read the whole thread - do I understand it correctly that R270 CANNOT be used to recover bricked FRM3 module? Has anyone been able to use it for this? It seems to be lacking the mask for the frm's MCU. Is xprog knock off the cheapest option?

I accidentally bricked the FRM mod when I updating.

Would anyone have an firmware file for the "FRM3 max brose" part number is 61359240533.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Guys,

I used an XProg 5.84 clone and dumped my d-flash. Unfortunately something went wrong. The conversion tool converted it tho and my VIN was correct, yet, when I write to EEE I still get the lightning error. I did notice some versions were set to ffffffff but didn't bother as my VIN was correct and the tool did not complain the d-flash was corrupt (as it did before when I uploaded a corrupt one read with xprog 5.55)

I'm sure my FRM3 is fine tho. I flashed the EEE dump a little bit up in this thread to the module and now the red error is gone, just most of my lights aren't working. The red error is now replaced by 10ish warnings on different lights and blinkers.

Any advice?
I think I have 2 options here:
- Recode the module and recode all lights their correct addresses for my car (right? and how do I do this?)
- Find a dump of the exact same module as I have


So by any chance, anyone got a dump or knows how to recode the addresses of the lights (or could link me a good howto)?

Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Oh, and a small contribution from my end to this thread:
Stay away from XProg 5.55. It can't read or write the MC9S12 chip correctly. I've read anything from and above 5.60 would do. I picked 5.84 myself as a 2nd try but unfortuantely ended up here.

Once you have a good dump you can extract the good eeprom dump by using this tool:

***END OF UPDATE***

I get many PM's regarding bricked FRM3 repair. So thought this thread could be a point of information for people who want to repair their bricked module. By bricked I means EEPROM damage through coding / programming due to voltage fluctuation resulting in IFH-0009 error and no communication via OBD.

In this case the module is still good but requires a good EEPROM dump / p-flash being written to it. Once the good EEPROM is in, communication via obd should be restored and vin / VO will need to changed. You also need to find a correct zusb number and flash it with winkfp.

INFO:

MCU is a 9S12XDT384 (mask 3M25J)

DATASHEET - http://cache.freescale.com/files/mic...S12XDFAMPP.pdf

PROGRAMMERS confirmed to support this MCU:

UPA USB Programmer
XPROG-M
R270
ORANGE

EEPROM DUMPS:

My collection of FRM3 dumps - p-flash and EEPROM.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0...nprQzI3R1N2aFE

METHOD:

Basically...

1. Erase EEPROM (4096bytes)
2. Write good dump
3. Verify obd working and change vin / VO as if retrofitting used FRM3.
4. Flash with correct zusb number for your vehicle using winkfp.

To connect to the MCU there are 3 methods I'm aware of:

1. In socket - desolder chip
2. In circuit - BDM points - reverse of PCB - see image attached.
3. Direct - test clips onto pins like Pamona Micro Grabbers or cheaper alternative.

Connections to:

BKGD
RESET
VDDR (5v)
VSS

Hopefully this is helpful for someone.

Hello
Can i get access to your FRM dump file list
?

Thanks!

Bonjour tous le monde j'ai un souci de lecture du FRM3 avec Xprog 5,5 il ne lis pas entièrement le dflash malgré plusieurs lecture ou est que quelqu'un aurais possible d'obtenir un fichier pour .

i have a old 2007 x5 that i need to flash the frm. it's a frm1 from what i can tell and the wiring seems to be the same as the frm2.. i got it all wired up and got a xprog clone 5.55 and it installed and everything.. but is the MCU subtype and device the same for FRM1?

i tried Freescale 9S12XE for dflash and when i try to read it it'll say unknown ms9s12 device..

but when i select 9s12XD and a random device.. it would actually read and give me a dump with some verification error?? so i'm kinda confused aren't frm1 to frm 3 all uses the same subtype and device?

[wai_lai416]

ok.. so i found out the frm unit i have the device on the chip saids MC9S12XPD512MA can't figure out the last letter looks like a G.. so do i select Freescale 9S12XD for subtype and MC9S12XPD512 FLASH to read and EEPROM to write?

[Aziego]

Bought a clone Xprog 5.55. My computer can't read the included CD. Does anyone have the software that they can share with me?

[Julz90]

Hi all, I have restored a broken FRM3 with xprog 5.5.5, it worked fine.

Converted dflash to eee.
erase eee
eee write.

FRM is responsive again and could update it (.C33), everything works fine.

Problem is still this error (9330), does anyone know what to do about it?
