Am I the all time leader in failed flash attempt counts?
I'd like to challenge you for that spot haha! I would estimate my first try succes rate to be 20%. More than often I spend +1 hour to flash my car. In the BM3 infancy Dzenan opened a server in Tokyo ONLY to solve my connection problem from China.

Dzenan
Well, China based players you and I should dominate in this area.

You maybe lead in "career total", but I had my highlights where 3 days in a row, everyday it takes 2~3 hours and 6-7 failed attempts to flash through. Oh...and we spoke over phone on that first day So yeah, without you I can't make it. Thank you for being part of record making team!
My "pleasure" Sean

Failed flash can happen for any number of reasons and happens regardless of type of connection, wired or wireless. In fact very little to none has to do with the actual connection itself as issues there are detected way before flashing actually kicks off.

At times people with piggyback devices running on OBD can interfere with both diagnostics and flashing, really anything running over OBD. Examples includes aftermarket valve controllers, tunes such as JB4, etc. Packets of data write acknowledgements can/do get lost if other devices are connected/active so make sure any piggyback devices aren't hooked up or active.

Among other things BM3's flash protocol checks battery voltage level as well as total estimated flash time comparing it to estimated discharge time of the battery and only allows the flash to start if all the checks have been checked off (e.g. motor off, ignition on, flash mode on, etc). There are also redundancies in place to recover and retransmit data in case of bad connections, dropped connections (disconnected and/or bad cables), battery on the phone/laptop dying or going to sleep. At times people open the door while flashing (e.g. too hot in the car ) and the vehicle will turn ignition off failing the flash.

We've placed all the warnings to let users know pre-flash but most of us are 'real men' and we all know real men don't read instructions even when they have to

No matter what though, at the end of the day when flashing over OBD you can't end up bricking these DMEs and there's always a way to recover, without pulling the DME out of the car. We've done everything you can imagine during testing in terms of failed flashes to ensure there's always a way to restore the DME back to normal through OBD, as long as your battery has enough charge still.

Flashing checklist:

1) Engine off, driver's side seatbelt on, close doors and don't open while flashing

2) Hit the start button 3x to cycle ignition (on/off) and leave ignition on. Should show gas gauge level when ignition is on

3) Connect with bm3 and flash

4) Do yourself a favor and try to flash in a safe area just in case you end up having an odd issue such as battery charge related or phone/laptop dying etc

Hi, sorry we're out with test cars in development today. Unfortunately we don't have a call centre or secretaries to pick up the phone Your car has the N63TU V8 with dual DMEs and you're running a JB4 on the car given your message to us along with a custom file from a third party after which you had an issue. We're reaching back out to you over the support portal to see what may the issue be but misfires are most likely something ignition related (coils or plugs). Chat soon.

Get in touch with their tech support. You probably had a firewall running or something.

I believe this might be the issue....

Noob question...when putting the charger, do I connect directly on to the terminals on the battery (trunk) or at front (engine bay)

Thanks

I'm sorry but you posted this same question in 5 different threads with hardly any detail. Please read through all 5 threads entirely and then provide the relevant details. You will see from reading which details are relevant (battery, cable, adapter, phone/laptop, exactly what you did, etc.)

Please pick one thread to work your problem, or start a new thread specific to yours. We need to keep your info consolidated so others can help.

You have a 2020 M4?
Most likely it required a "Bench Unlock" you clicked Ok in the Ignore Warning and proceeded to flash.

Your only solution is to flash back to stock force option
Shoot over an email to support@protuningfreaks.com
