These two things are mostly always the culprit whenever I'm having issues.

When i connect to thor wifi it connects , then after a while the wifi signal comes on the phone.
I have max reception but no internet connection.
To witch network does thor connect for internet through its adapter ( can i make it choose one ? )

Could be an Android issue...

It updates the software for those specific systems. It doesn't touch the engine software

[sagi]

Has anyone else been experiencing what this guy has in the video? Seems like at lower rpm it would move between 800 and 1000 (confused) as well as drop to 2nd gear when turning?

[Jeremy Billiel]

I have not seen it, but need more miles on the car before I can say that definitely

[parabmw]

Appears s7 doesn't support ethernet.
Need at least s8.
Needed a phone upgrade anyways

[Trevorstein]

What is suggested as the optimum installation sequence here...?


* Thor ---> BM3 (or MHD)
or
* The other way around.
or
* Doesn't matter.


Cheers!

Does anyone know if we need to assign a static IP using the ethernet cable? I can't seem to connect with my Note 20

Edit, I figured that out, saw the setting posted a few pages back.

Now I'm getting this, and a permanent rear diff warning on the dash. Fucking great, how do I fix this? Took the car out and it drives horribly

About the ENET-cable, here again. Setup your Apple Device for THOR with ENET-Cable
First, enable “Flight Mode” in the iOS Settings. When connecting your Lightning-to-Ethernet Adapter to your Apple device, a new option “Ethernet” will appear in your “Settings” panel.

Just make sure your settings are all on “Automatic”. Once you plugged the ENET cable to your BMW and your ignition is turned ON your Apple device will show an IP Address (for instance
169.254.xxx.xxx) and Subnet Mask (255.255.0.0). This might take 30 seconds. As soon as the IP is showing, wait another 10 -15 seconds, before trying to connect.

Setup your Android Device for THOR with ENET-Cable

Android users need to configure the Ethernet port, after connecting the Adapter to their devices. Please open the settings panel on your device. Depending on your Android version, the procedure may be a bit different. This procedure is only necessary on first connect and for wired connections. Your
phone will store those settings for subsequent connects. Eventually you need to re-plug the adapter, after saving the settings to take effect.

1. After connecting cable, press OK
2. Open „Connections“
3. Open „More Conn. Settings“
4. Open „Ethernet“
5. Open „Configure“
6. Ethernet settings

Necessary Ethernet settings (Topic 6) are:
Static IP: 169.254.250.250
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
DNS: 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Please enter and save them!

Now you are ready to flash your vehicle with an ENET-Cable and iOS or Android Smartphone/Tablet.

Did you already contact us to support? If not, please write to us at support@thorflasher.com, and we help you to solve your issue.

At you shared pic it looks like you are not in flightmode. Can it be the reason? I.e. Interupted/ disturbed connection?

This is exactly what happened to me the first time my car was (Not by/with "Thor") -
attempted to be - coded with the same features!

* Chassis error
* Differential error

The car would only drive slow and even then, it felt like a Tank!

I had to take to pay the dealer to hook it up to ISTA and have it reset because the
original coder could Not resolve it!

I was definitely sweating bullets then!

[sagi]

Maybe it’s just safer to pay the stealership to update the differential software and not have to worry about these errors!

I was going to flash with THOR but after reading quite a few issues with malfunction error, I don’t think I want to even bother.

No issues here at all with THOR. You never know what each car had previously coded, or if the process was followed correctly, so I wouldn't look to much into the one or two negative posts. Thor flashes seamlessly every time for me.

Yes, of course, I didn't know if you have already contacted us by mail for support because I didn't found any ticket with your issue. At first, we need a log from your vehicle to check why you have this malfunction.

You have to flash your vehicle again. You have a malfunction because it looks like your flash seems to be aborted.

Turn your Smartphone into Airplane mode and fasten your seatbelt when you flash your vehicle.

Have you already tried flashing your car a second time?

And please do not drive your vehicle as long as you have this error message.

We are happy to help you, the best and fastest way is to write to us at support@thoflasher.com. Please also tell us your VIN. And don't worry, we'll solve this right away.

Thanks
Chris

It is absolutely safe, and yes, a flash can break off once. There are many reasons for this. Mostly it is due to the hardware or WiFi adapters which are disturbed by many other WLAN networks.

I haven't seen the log yet, but I'm sure if we flash again it will work.

[sagi]

Keep us updated! Look forward to hearing about the fix before I make any decisions.

[tinpot]

For me flashing issues are because I’ve missed a step in the docs. I’ve never understood why the seatbelt needs to be fastened but this one always gets me along with forgetting to unplug my JB4.

I’ve also found WiFi not to be the most reliable connection and now plug the ENET cable directly to my iPhone and have resolved timeout and interruption issues.

I bought the Thor flasher on Black Friday and flashed in 7 minutes. My first attempt failed because I forgot to buckle up.
