XProg-m V5.55 Verify Errors

[nogger1]

HI, i bought a Chinese clone a few weeks ago & it's worked fine until yesterday. I tried to erase/write & read a 9S12 MCU from a BMW footwell module & it looked like all was ok until it started to fail on verify. Every verify fails in different addresses, completely random. This was with the BDM board attached which i always have to use with this particular chip.


Next i tried to do the same with a different 9S12 MCU which doesn't require the BDM adaptor & exactly the same error so it is the XProg itself that is at fault.


Anyone have any ideas why this should suddenly happen (yes i know its cheap Chinese copy but it was working fine last time). Are there any changes i can make or is it destined for the rubbish bin ?


Thanks in advance.

version 5.5.5 is not so stable, find download 5.5.1 and downgrade it, its the most stable for clones avalible

Thanks for the reply Mario3, i understand what you are saying about 5.5.5 but it has been stable on these particular processors from the FRM modules since i bought it a couple of months ago. It used to verify first time every time so i don't quite understand what has changed. Does the Atmega corrupt ? in which case why does it write at least 90% ok, wouldn't it be more likely to be a hardware issue ?

Also , my XProg has a dongle, if i downgrade will i still need to use the dongle & will i lose all the 'Authorisations' that i have ?

Thanks

No you wont lose authorisations, and the versions with dongle are known to make problems

No. It just stops working the same with older versions 5.3 adn 5.4.5.... reflash it to 5.5.1 and it will be fine. It can be a hardware issue too but isr unlikely

It is not hardware. is software. install new 555 clean xp. install c: \ program files

I also had problems

[tehnosoftex]

Is definitely a software problem, something is changed it xprog box files. I have the same problem and I rewrite all the files of xprogbox software and problem is gone. After a while the problem reappear whit the same solution. I don't have it in c: \ program files , may be that's why is happening.

Is possible use X-prog 5.55 in back version ??? Im buy clone last week,and have one problem with CD contains in package. From internet Download 5.50 versions and the software run OK and recognize device,but tried read one 95160 and the software show one banner " Need update device ". Here find download 5.55 software version and device read OK. My x-prog is without dongle.

Software re-reinstall on PC didn't work so now looking at flashing the Atmega (although i am worried aboutl osing my authorisations)

One more question, when flashing the Atmega on the XProg box do i need to remove the chip or lift any pins ? (please say no :))

CORRECTION: I just did another complete software re-install & it only blinking works doesn't it.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader, went through the registry & deleted all references to Xprog, deleted ALL files previously installed from the RAR file & i ran remove.bat from the PACTH directory. Extracted all files & foldersagain from the RAR archive into the Program Files directory & re-installed & it has read & verified every time, fantastic !!
Thanks to all who replied with suggestions.

UPDATE: spoke tooo soon, still getting verify errors when i write a file, it seems to verify ok after an erase so looks like i will have to reflash the Atmega.

[same1]

I have problem with xprog sais device is silent will downgrade to 5.5.1 fix it ?

[nogger1]

check the drivers/usb port, soundslike it's not talking to the box, do any LED's come on ?

i have too this problem.

[Gizbern]

Some sellers in my country (no china) have good 5.55 without dongle
(or can repair Verify Errors)
We don't have good atmega eeprom and flash !

[spiridonas]

The problem with verify errors is the software 5.55 or atmega firmware flash and eeprom ?
Thanks

[Gizbern]

Seller likes to send new processor Atmega (cost 50 Euros)

[jakesman]

Hello,

I'm struggling with my xprog box. I can't find the cd and I don't have the software anymore. Can someone attach the software for a chinese clone?
I was trying downloading it from the internet, but I still get the Safegine error, and it won't start.

Regards,
CD

You probably already know this, but just in case - Make sure you are NEVER connected to the internet with one of these clones. It will dial out and try to update, or possibly just intentionally corrupt the install.

While I'm here though, would you mind saying where you got your clone and how much you paid? I'm looking for another one as the one I got was total shit. Ta

For me it works better in windows 7 Ultimate. In XP I've got a bunch of errors verify writing etc.. just a pain in the ass in XP
