bootmod3 Offline Flasher Release ***

proTUNING Freaks · 02-10-2018, 03:32 PM

Hey guys, really happy to announce the OFFLINE Flasher is now out of closed beta for any existing registered/unlocked users that have an S55, N55, N20 or N26. Only exception is Dual DME cars (N63tu/S63tu) that are still in beta for a couple days. This applies to any existing and already unlocked BM3 users.

Overall impressions from beta have been very positive. Flash times are the fastest out there we've seen at just 40secs for a map switch, maybe even a touch quicker.

Offline flasher also incorporates a preconditions analysis check we believe is unique to bootmod3 in the aftermarket along side BMW's own factory flash tools. Some of these were there before but now have been redesigned and further expanded. This should help prevent any issues for those out in the wild while flashing further solidifying the flash process.

In case any the following preconditions happen, flash will not begin:

- engine running
- immobilizer system not unlocked
- gear box input speed not zero
- gear box output speed not zero
- vehicle speed not zero
- ignition needs restart, ignition off-on is required
- programming voltage insufficient
- ignition off (clamp 15 is off)
- vehicle's electrical system voltage too low
- temperature too high
- temperature too low

Flash button in the app now defaults to OFFLINE flashing. The old method which used an internet connection to the servers is still there but going forward will most likely be removed for the DME. S55 TCU flash will continue to use the internet connection method, for now.

We'm working on incorporating some progress bars for the flash progress screen now and that'll be in the next update very soon. OBD Unlock closed beta testing is going really well as well and we're hoping to have that released in the open very soon as well. Let us know if any questions.

Open a ticket they'll get back no worry

The website is stating that OBD bench unlock is no longer required on both the bench unlock service page and the bootmod3 product page for N55 platform. Is this the case or is it still just in closed beta? I know it's already been asked, but I'm just curious as to the language on site. I would rather hold off until it's freely available before I place and order for a license.

Separate question: I know that during beta testing it's required that you have a Windows laptop. If/when its out of beta, is it possible to use an iOS laptop for flashing/logging, or is it only available for iOS mobile app?.

Thanks in advance.

you can go ahead and purchase a license on our website for it, sign up on www.bootmod3.net, connect to the car and download and start the OBD Agent. Once signed up click on the VIN that shows up and send us a screenshot of the vehicle software IDs on the vehicle details screen and if support isn't already added we'll get that resolved.

I saw yesterday 6x N55's EWG were OBD unlocked and 2x S63TU (M6) as well.
Only thing they HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend for First Time is Battery Charger Hooked up because S55 especially drain the battery while in ignition. So if you're in a cold climate or barely drive your car its highly recommend to have your car battery hooked up to a minimum 20amps charger

Thanks for the info, and the spoon feeding!

I have an M2, so N55. Is this still the case with the external battery charger?

abirmaher just recently unlocked i would personally ask another M2 member if they used one. I would rather be safe than sorry even jumper cables from another running car can work but it seem to be a problem with S55 cars mostly than M2 /N55 EWG that are daily driven

I offline flashed my m2 yesterday no problem and no battery charger. If you had the car sitting for a few days before I'd worry about a better charger but if you were just driving the car you should be fine

Power supply is there mainly for when you run into issues for whatever reason and need extra time to fix it.

Always always have a power supply when you flash, even if you don't bother plug it in.

Yeah agreed. I think I’ve flashed at least about 30 times now never used a charger but I have one on standby at home just in case.

What's your hardware mod and map you flashed?

Log it anyway. I may have a look if you don't mind

Have to log. So far just catless downpipe and intake for now. Have to do FMIC and chargepipe next. Exhaust coming soon after.
