Civic Type R 2018 Jailbreak issue

Post by mohnaser »

so i had a customer with a type r 2018 and it was programmed before through bench mode with unknown tuning shop, now i have the flash pro and need to flash this thing and can't get it through when trying to jailbreak it, saying it cannot be done and should get it back to stock, is there any way i can do that??

You would have to use the original programming equipment to flash the original binary back in.

The problem is that a lot of bench reflashes deliberately disable future reflashing. So there is no way a FlashPro can work through OBDII.

Use whatever tool was used to bench reflash the ECU to write the original binary back in. Most tools backup the original binary. The boot code is specific to each ECU so you can't use a binary from anything else or a generic binary.

We can fix the ECU if you will send it and the FlashPro to us.

all i need now is to unmarry this flash pro from this ecu that I cannot access or do anything to it there should be some way from hondata to do that instead of sending it back to you, otherwise please let me know the process and the fees of getting this thing fixed
