Check first if your cable has Atmega, because we have no ideea how your cable looks like...

Hi there. Im new to this forum and need a little help. I have a VAG 12.12 cable with VID_0403 & PID_FA24. If i run a fresh install of VCDS with cable plugged in, it says valid/registered. As soon as I plug into car it goes to Unregistered.
In device manager it says Ross-tech direct USB interface and not the FFFFFFFFFF that ive read before. Im guessing the cable has been fried and was wondering the best way to go? Ive read posts before about flashing Eprom etc but cant seem to find a defined step by step method including which software to use for flashing. I am good with computers but just a little lost in the process. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers

I am in much the same situation, My clone Atmega (sp) CPU Chinese 12.12 clone becomes unregistered when i try to connect to the car. Is it simply a case of loading this new software and the interface will update itself? Or am i missing a step?

You are missing more than one step..take some time to read from the first page and search for a Tutorial (pdf).

You can do that via usb, but it is necesary avr programmer- much easy to use.

Hello.
Here are flash dumps for latest VAG-COM original + flash dump of China clone FW 1.96 with protection chip. All firmwares are disassembled. It's quite easy to decrypt HCC196.bin (old 512 byte bootlader) from install directory. I'm working on other tools such as FLASH and EEPROM dumper via USB, so it can be read even with fuse bits set.
BTW according to FW source code - fuse bits are not read by firmware itself, so it doesn't care if the fuse bits are set or not.

HCC196.bin is for old HW type (0x44) with PORTA.2 and PORTA.3 connected to GAL
HP196.bin is for new HW type (0x46) - not decryptable yet (no public). May be this type is used in China clone. CN Clone dump is not the same as HCC196.bin.

As I know - protection chip doesn't protect ATMega (according to schematic I don't know how it can protect it) but is used as a "key" for cracked VCDS distributed with VAG-COM. It communicates with VCDS loader through RTS/CTS pins of FTDI. If VCDS loader finds the protection chip, it then unlocks communication with ATMega, creates d1-d3 files and starts VCDS.

"no plugged to the car"
- blacklisted loader and Atmega dump defective because of loader - it need reflashed and a need a new loader
- Atmega defective
-FTDI defective even its seen in the Device Manager
Good luck

This is not a general solution
Each one can make his solution
I haven't seen newer solution then 11.11.5/12.12.0 shared in public ( use google )
The good solution you will not find in China or in public web shops or sold in forums in market place
This solution will be killed sooner or later
Flash = reprogramming - search how to reprogram VCDS in forum you will get what you need
Good luck

There is way to tead and write the MCU ny Usb w/o Open it.
But you cannot see if uts Atmega or NEC.
I had a dump extracted from a clone w/ NEC and I flash it in a clone w/ Atmega.
Just to check if this one are diffrent

Hello,
I have cable Super 812.4 Dual K&CAN and would like to upgrade it to newer software. It now runs VCDS 805 as ver. 812.4 was a Beta ver. and did not run good...

You need to have and to be able to use a soldering station, of course you need Avr programmer and find a pdf file called Tutorial (replace of LPT with AVR prog.)

I have tried this 16.8 version with HW1 interface, but what fusebits should I use, witj cddcf9ff there is cnnection error almost all time. What VID pid should be?

alexm1
4th February, 2017, 10:08 AM
First of all, thanks for sharring your stuff!
Now, I have 2 cables with Hd2 and I tried your dumps: interface test was ok, as you posted earlier, but did you test it on the car?

It is necessary a new ept file for RL? I use old ept that works with 14.10.0 .

I tried with a Fabia 2007 and I received several comunication errors: autoscan, each module, mass. blocks etc. it works to some point and than it crash.


So, I use xtremeburner fusebits
CD DC F9 CC, installed 16.8.0, copied cracked.exe in installation folder, delete main shortcut from the desktop and launch programm using cracked.exe .
I did something wrong?

You can change the FA24 ept in FA30 by yourself
If you wanna waist your time
You did All correct till now

alexm1
5th February, 2017, 04:27 PM
I think cracked.exe file is not that "perfect" to make things work as should. Probablly @kolimer needs more time the make some changes for that dump to work with 16.8.0 . , if it is his work, otherwise he shares what he got without test it and this is it...

mattydr67
5th February, 2017, 04:46 PM
@ Mr 16D
I tested All
Ft232 Rl with FA24 and FA30
FT232BL with FA20
I tried both firmware version shared for each
I Also tried woth original firmware 256b wirds and 512b words
Non of item ia working
I think you are waisting your time.
I think the problem.is the loader utself and/or the firmwares which are not the original one used in Genuine tools

Mate in your case MFT version you are using a loader because the serial its blacklisted and when younare using the original exe file your tool will show you unregistred.
If a tool it has the rght serial not blacklisted then its doesn't matter if it is with BL/BM ( old style ) or RL/RQ ( nrw style)
To flash the tool
- flash with MProg the FTDI using ept for BL/BM ( vid/pid 0403/FA20 )
- Connect your AVR Programmer to Atmega ISP pins ( MiSO/MOSI/SCK/RESET) and GND
- Power the circuit ( VCDS ) with 12V ( from car if you wish ) on OBD pins (16 for +12v and 4-5 for GND )
Use the eeprom that you have and fuse bits CD/DC/F9/CC or FF
Tthis is it
Well I forgot if you have STC in circuit as you said you need to insolder the STC and the other two components
Good luck

Hello,

The 16.8 cracked software still crashes (comm error). The 12.12 and the 11.11.5 sw say license not found. I used the 0403 FA20 config and Flash1.96_HW1.bin and the eeprom (HEX 2011/03/01 12h19:58). My cable consists ATMEGA162, GAL, 93c46, FT232BL na no ST. The cable worked fine with 1.84fw. I used ponyprog for programming ATMEGA, using the attached fuse settings. ATMEGA is connected to the GAL.

As i know, 15.7.0 and 16.8.0 CHN with STC use FA24.
15.7.0 has in my hand, saw eeprom, extracted vcds.exe for use without "stc protection'.
Worked ok. But with proper eeprom, not tried to "whitening" an old blacked serial.
Probably is the same in 16.8.0 EN CHN STC. Haven't yet one.

But..like more others CHN versions...

FTDI is a part of protection in VCDS
You damage it you need one with same Id.
But the Id is uniq snd tge rste to buy one with same ID its higher then to win in lottery
Tgis mean th the dump in the MCU Atmega is marriaged with the ID of the defective FTDI.
You did two bad steps
1. You open the case
2. You change tge FTDI by yourself
Ross-tech warranty is out in this case but they are the only one who can help you in this moment. No one can do it.
At leaxt if you want that tool to be a genuine one from now on.
Good luck

I bought it about 3 years ago, he has no guarantee.

Is it possible to change the ID in theFTDI?

How can ID read ?

mattydr67
5th March, 2017, 03:18 PM
Ok then if it has no waranty so you have nothing to loose
FTDI ID cannot be changed. It uniq. Thats why its used in the VCDS protection arhitecture and in other tools protections
You can read it from the defective FTDI if you can use read it by MProg.
Or you can buy more then 65900 pcs of FTDI RQ from same place to be sure that you can find one FTDI RQ chip with same ID
Mate take my advise and if you wanna still have a genuine tool then send it them back

Good luck

my interfacd is a cn 12.12 without GAL and with RL

Long Coding in 12.12 it doesn't depend by the dump
Same dump is working in 11.11.5 and in this version the Long Coding is working.
This issues is happend because of bad crack

Hi everyone. I have vag 12.12.0 chinese clone. worked fine for a while, and in one day when i tried to do a auto-scan, at some point showed me the message 'this function requires a licensed interface'. i checked 'about' and it shows unregistered. i used the software that came with the cable, which prompts to close internet con, and changes the date automatically. it's like a demo. i still can do some things whith it. any chance to make it fully working again? thanks in advance. sorry for my poor english .

My exact situation, probably same hardware.

16D: as my latest post on VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING it is equipped with FT232RL, ATMEGA162, ATF16V8B

Just to restore original 12.12.0 to a working condition what do we really need ??

Shoul ATMEGA be rewritten by 4 soldered wires or via USB also ??

If your VAG-Com Interface is clone then only by wires with isp programmer you can burn new flash in Atmega162.

Hi User2468,

somehow off topic but I can not write you a PM because your Inbox storage is full!

I just found a post from you that you have fixed your 912 Tacho universal dongle and make it work.
Could you please tell me how to do so?

Mine is not working and I read a lot of posts, but my R1 and R2 resistors seems to be correct around.
Could you please tell me how you fixed yours and what is written on the parts of your one for R1, R2, C4 & C4/1?

Thank you!
DC

As mentioned, sorry for the off topic.

Hi Guys,

I have a question about my VCDS cable and I could not find any other threads where I could ask this.

My cable stopped working a while ago. I cannot change long coding, only adaptation. When changing Long Coding it says coding accepted, but then the actual coding is never updated.

I added pictures of my cable. I cannot see atmega or ftdi chip on it.

Can I get it working again somehow?

Thanks!

Your cable it has FTDI - RL (second picture very close to those 4 wires(usb) soldered to pcb.
It does not have Atmega, it is with NEC=CHINA= No chance to update (reflash) as I now, maybe this fact will change in the future..

About long coding- it must be vers. 12.12.0 - it is known that fact- coding saved, but at next visit coding not changed.


L.E. - it is very low quality- no GAL/ATF, no LM7805. ...do not waste your time, buy one with Atmega.

Recovered !! This chip model the worst you can do is set to use an external clock source. So using a raspberry pi3 set a gpio pin to output a 1mhz clock freq into atmega's xtal1 pin and voila !! Used an lpt1 port to contact built-in ISP

That's why ironically said that. As I read in many forums, atmega162 has no fuses to disable those. So the worst this you can do is set it up to use and external clock. Providing a clock is sufficient to recover the chip, no need to have high voltage programmer

Hi.
What cable version and where did you buy it? You should buy the English (18.2.0) and Spanish (17.8.1) versions. For example, here:


https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20180917112041&SearchText=vcds+spanish

(only with ATMEGA 162 inside)

or

(spanish est)


https://yadi.sk/d/kwoAv_pu3LkTV8/VCDS-EST-17013-Installer.exe


If you only bought English then ask the seller if the cable will work with the Spanish version. If it works, let it send you a link to the software and loader. Also, read the topic about updating the cable to the latest version.

Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando TapatalkHi there. If program doesn't want open than you have something wrong with Windows... vcds software/program should Run/open without connection vcds to USB.

Or

If you copy loader to installed vcds catalogue, try loader or all this catalogue in you antywirus added to trust. Some antywirus recognize loader like virus so try this as well.

To update the cable or change the language first you need to check if you have an Atmega 162 chip inside (pictures in post 363). If so you can download the Kolimer V 6.3 activator and try to convert the cable via a usb or programmer.

Hi. I had the same problem in version 17.8.0 PL. So I used the older version 16.8.3 and 17.1.3PL. After entering newer versions 17.8.1 and 18.2.1PL, everything is fine. Long coding works normally. The colimer did the next V7.0 activator. So maybe try updating the cable. Of course, if you have ATMEGA 162.

Did you paste, (swapped) the V 6.0 loader into the program folder? If so then check again whether the plug is well connected to the car OBD II and the LED is green.
Alternatively, if you have Chip Atmega 162 inside, download the V7.0 loader and reprogram the cable to 18.9.0 EN version.

Happy new year, DK team!

I wanna share with you an issue with a cable from obd2cartool.

I tried to make it worked using usbasp with dumps from 18.2 to 18.9.0 , using loader v.7 to v7.2 but no luck, after I connect cable to car works about 20 seconds and program freezes and it is necessary to disconect usb cable in order to connect again.

I tried on pc with win7 and 10, with Audi A4 , Golf mk6 , Caddy, same behaviour with all.

I used same dumps/loader/18.9.0 with an identical cable and worked ok, it is not about the reflash.

I try to solve things with obd2cartool client support but, at first they said they not sell HW 44 (see pics from they site), after a while they admit to sell it, but keep ...talking with no real help, to bad..for them.

So, migth be a FTDI problem? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/dc9b4c79ef45ea811beb9a9c3fc0e09e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/a9aa66c2cb4ad940a60f0ed366f64d04.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190102/b8247503d07de9940667f04afd7aff72.jpg

Hi. Sean42 on this page is manual how to repair or update the vcds cable with the ATMEGA 162 chip.

Hi friends i join you, this is my first message :) Thank you for accepting me among you.

I have a cable 18.2 FR and 17.8 FR Hex V2 my goal is to understand how to perform the program of the unforgettable man "KOLIMER" and i come across the sharing of Mario6 :)

Great !!!

It starts very well,

Hello there! Recently i bought a vcds HEX-V2 from China. This fu*****ng seller send to me without any software, just a docx file with the installation guide. He said that use the VCDS 18.9 software release and a VCDS Loader. There is any chance to find this Loader?
The unit will work with the original software from Ross-Tech or I must search and for a cracked software?
Thanks in advance

If you try R@$$teh software, you migth "burn" the cable. So, ask seller for download link.

Hi.
Do as alexm1 wrote. Or read a few posts just on the previous page and you will find a solution to your problem. Of course, if the cable has an ATMEGA 162 chip inside

obd2cartool V2 has some different GAL logic. Get Kolimer loader 8.0 erase atmega, burn eeprom, flash and fuses. No need to set code protect against readout, just block rewriting boot block.. But you have to use 46 type files. Then you can upgrade via EE tool, but not needed. Tested with VCDS-Release-18.9.0-Installer_b164183bc43b6bcc95c75dded3dd634be4371ec3 .rar and Kolimer 8, V2 Clone with ATF16V8 in tssop and FT RQ. The versions with 7805 are probably not so bad, if you get a genuine ATF chip with correct content - its in the main topic. You have maybe to experiment a bit. Th culprit is some old PALCE or other crappy PLD, it is clearly seen its relabeled and has high power consumption, which overheats 7805 and mistunes xtal frequencies. Who knows what chips are genuine...for to be sure replace everything or spent a nice weekend building an own interface with known components.

I wanna share with you an issue with a cable from obd2cartool.

I try to solve things with obd2cartool client support but, at first they said they not sell HW 44 (see pics from they site), after a while they admit to sell it, but keep ...talking with no real help, to bad..for them.

did you solve your problem with obd2cartool?

I got a defective cable from them as well and got the same experience, they talk, they do not answer sometimes.
I even bought another cable from them that is working to prove everything else is ok (car, laptop, software)

Curios if they refunded you in the end? Aliexpress do refund for products dead on arrival

I did not ask for a refund, because I need it the cable, so they sent another one that is working well.

Hi, (sorry for my bad english)

I am 2 vagcoms but both vagcoms are the same problem... the error with usb library, i think i need to reinstal the software,or if anyone knows if can do something else.
first vagcom is V12.12 the other vagcom is 189.

Before I start reinstalling the software, I thought in the forum I asked what and how it is done, i worked with microcontrollers but with microcontroller itself. If anyone can help me with advice and dumps for reinstall the software on vagcom i would be greateful.
I have something programmers but as I said I programmed on the microcontrollers themselves, with thw microcontroller down, on the pins. i dont know the vagcom is possibly to reinstall without detach the microcontroller?
I have a TL886II plus programmer, arduino, USB ASP, I can do something with them?
I ask because I haven't had to deal with reprogramming vagcom. what would be the procedure?
I need the vagcom interface for my car because i want to make some modification but i need to activate functions from comfort module, and without vagcom i can not.
I buyed recent the second interface 189 but i dont worket with she because i forgot the internet and she said me "goog bye" :P

Hello, i have symilar problems with vcds
Vcds 17.8.0 - test ok, interface version ok, showing Interface not plugged into car. Both tries into the obd2 and without. It's showing the same error
Vcds 18.2.0 - test ok, interface version ok, showing Interface not plugged into car , but when I plug it into car, it shows Interface not found.
First vcds i think it might have been laumched with internet connected
The second, i guess it has an internal fault... Something burned... Who cares... I would like to have time for repairing them, but... i don't have the nerves to search for solution. It's 50euro the 19.6.1 version...i just bought one today...

Hi.
Unscrew the cable and check if there is CHIP ATMEGA 162, ATMELL inside. If it is, you can reprogram the cable to a higher version using USB or a programmer. If there is no ATMEGA 162, only NEC or ARM buy a second one, because Activator 19.6.2 EN will not help you.

You can also look for SW 19.6.0c EN, which works with cables on NEC, ARM.

Search here.

ATMEGA 162 inside the only problem I'm having is trying to code new injectors as the injectors are not in adaption menu on vcd 18.9 or are all clones unable to code injectors etc.
is it an easy fix to re program to higher version.
just downloaded software need to get my head around it.
I bought mine from OBD2CarTool.com HEX+CAN just replaced VCD.exe with VCD LOADER.exe and recognises cable so will test on car tomorrow should it be full working version. thanks.
If this works I will be over the moon.:rofl::rofl:
edit update my injectors don't need coding as its older car that's why drop down menu is not full.

Test shows that it is not V2 but HEX-USB
Probably you have low quality device or use bad loader or version itself. If it is good you can flash it and get good dump to use with latest version.

First I'd like to thank you for the reply and appreciate your help much; would you please give me a list of tools required to reflash and where to get the dump file to program the atmeg; what happened to the cable was I thought a cloned cable an original one so, I went to ross tech and downloaded the latest software and ran it without any loader I was naive ; it seems to me that an original software got it disabled. I plaued with couple of tools that programmed the FTDI USB interface but I couldn't get to the atmeg controller even with a boot loader to program.

I played with couple of tools that programmed the FTDI USB interface but I couldn't get to the atmeg controller even with a boot loader to program.
I ordered USBASP programmer from local dealer. But I need a road map; I know about lots of things now the atmeg is used to communicate to car and ftdi is usb controller i know about pin outs of the obd; I know about ftdi FTDI232RL which is my case MY GAL controller is PALCE

I have been searching, studying your forum and ink you gave earlier, I'm still feeling confused that makes me ask your help once more for a roadmap/steps and dump/tools if it does not bother You.

Hello everyone,

I have an Atmega 162 and FT232bl chip (chinese wire) in VAG12.12 firmware.

The wire been updated because i have let the internet connection run i think. I think that because i have a windows with a message "sorry , this function requiert a licencied interface when try to acces" to "04 basic setting" in the controller 53 parking brake.
The wire working fine before...

Please can someone help me for update my wire to a workable version ?

Good evening friends, I am trying to recover a cable that I used with version 12.12.


I'm trying to follow what "gopelhu" indicated in this link: https://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/237263-VAG-COM-VCDS-LATEST-DUMPS?p=2725896&viewfull=1#post2725896


The problem is that the link is out of service and I can't get the installer file for vcds 12.12 512bits, does anyone have it available to share please? or is there another solution other than using that installer?



My hardware has the following components:


ftdi=FT232RL
atmega162

I thank you in advance and I apologize since surely there are more solutions and I may have missed some among so much information, greetings!

Hello, I'm trying to get my cable working, so I'm here to try with your dump files.
Firmware version 1.96
VCDS 18.9.0
FT232RL - VID 0403 PID FA24
PALCE 16V8H -7JC/5

Cable recognized by the software but corrupted in someway in an old eeepc laptop with XP and never connected to internet nor updated.
I've successfully tried to flash Atmel162 via FT232H ISP programmer and command line, but I didn't know about the e2prom & fuse roles, so the interface can't pass self test.
Now I've understood that I must flash with firmware and eeprom files at the same time.
I know I must read a bit more here before try other things, but can I flash old version in my interface, since I would connect to my old Audi A3 8L1 year '02?
Or maybe I can find the eeprom hex file somewhere?
Thank you for your help.

What goes wrong? Am I missing something? It is all so unclear and chaotic all about vcds cables for me...

EDIT: if I re-flash the previous 1.96 firmware I've downloaded yesterday, the led works normally: red after interface plugged in and became green after a second, but still "Failed self test"
Any advice? Thank you.

Fabius72
10th January, 2024, 01:33 AM
Problem solved.
After a lot of frustration the interface is alive and I share with you what works for me:
for my interface the firmware that now is running was found in the downloaded VCDSLoader_v9.2 folder: (EDIT: the link is https://sidicer.lt/files/VCDSLoader_v9.2.zip )
Flash1.96_HW_0x44.bin
eepromavr_HW_0x44.bin

So the command to upload the files on the atmel chip from the command line (linux in my case), by an usb-isp converter (in my case an FT232H which is good for me) is:
[fabio@fabio-PC ~]$ avrdude -p m162 -c FT232H -e -U lock:w:0x3f:m -U efuse:w:0xf9:m -U hfuse:w:0xdc:m -U lfuse:w:0xcd:m -U flash:w:Flash1.96_HW_0x44.bin:r -U eeprom:w:eepromavr_HW_0x44.bin:r

At this point, following the VCDS installing guide, like the four days gone, the interface didn't work again, but... I decided to make a thing:

This is the "official" instructions about "How to install VAG 18.9 in the PC":
1...
2...
3...
4. First time to plug cables into the PC, wait a while to run VCDSLoader.exe. Click Options to run the self-test, and then click Save Data.
5. Turn off all vcds software, (***) plug in your car, and run VCDSLoader.exe again.

*** NO! Before plug the cable in your car, we also need to disconnect USB from computer port!
Then, connect the interface to the OBDII port, than reconnect the cable to the USB and finally run VCDSLoader.exe

After this second test, the interface was finally found, connected to the car and... registered!
Good luck!

Fabio
