VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[Centautian]

If it's locked, there is always possibility to swap with new chip, if you have some soldering skills :): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005175332016.html

What I am more interested in if there is way to dump firmware which is inside chip (when you have working/unlocked device AND ST-LINK or J-LINK) or if somebody has already dumped it and is willing to share.

[Ziepoeskenetnie]

For the people with security access problem. If you are on 2023 version, you can downgrade using older version vii plus loader and older version vcds.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone managed to run a VDCS ARM on MacBooks M1/M2 with the Kolimer loader? As I just get an error “Hooking (3)” and it closes. I couldn’t find any information on it.

I used Parallels with Windows 11 installed 64bit. The VDCS does run without a loader I tested it on a separate installation, but requires license ofc.

Thanks in advance.
Anyone got an idea for this? I still can't figure it out.

[MichaelKors]

Why waste your precious time on this ? Buy a cheap 30-40$ laptop just for VCDS use.

I dont use the VIIPlus crap anymore. But I'm sure another user will help you.

Hi, Is there an alternative?

[Fabio89]

Perhaps they upgraded the bootloader to fix some of their crypto flaws. If they did then older firmware’s wont be compatible any more.
Did you see how many images that was upgraded? I don’t have a fully working interface to test on without a lot of bench setup so I have not upgraded yet.
Also I would like to see a LKT i2c log to see if they have upgraded the LKT FW and if they are using different authentication checks.

Thanks

[tamino8e]

Well. Every project has an ending. To bad it came to an end so soon.
"Yet another 2min crack" was one of my favorite frasses but that is not the case here. Even if it feels like it :)

When I tried to lower the LKT4106 version number then VIIPlusLoader always clamed that it was the latest so perhaps they can't upgrade this chip?

I also discovered that the lates firmware contains two images. If the extra image is not present then everything seems to work just fine but VCDS's scan log will show [Tip-TNF 212507] and not the correct message. Looking at this file that is 260KByte then can this be all of the encrypted messages that the firmware uses?
Perhaps diving a bit deeper could reveal what this image / data is used for.

Here are all the patched VIIPlus firmwares that I have collected. They should be safe to use (I hope :)) on your STM32F415 interface and should not lock the chip to RDP2.
These firmwares should now work on the 415 interface coz the external crypto chip (LKT4106) are now emulated and you can find the emulation code in the image present at address 0x08010000.

This was a fun project and I learned a few things while working on it.

The next version of VIIPlus will probably add a lot more code to talk to the crypto chip and also try to detect pathing etc. I might have a look at the new version but I don't think I will spend to much time patching it again. I hope some one else can pick up this project and continue sharing these firmware files?

Well. Here are all the files:
https://www20.zippyshare.com/v/65svYeLp/file.html

There is also a "readme.txt" file in the zip archive that will explain a bit more about how to flash etc.

Hope you enjoy.


Maybe someone has the files uploaded somewhere else since zippy is no longer.

Guys, please don't kill me

I've searched everywhere and the information is too controversive so I have to ask for help.
I bought a hex-V2 from aliexpress that is obviously a clone but it has a good chip, 427 if I remember correctly so it's updateable and all.
I bought it in 2021 and it was working fine untill I recently checked for updates.
I found a VIIplus that was 8.023.07-FULL and I updated because i think I was running 08.021.05-FULL for many years so I thought it is a good thing.

Unfortunately, after that i started receiving all kinds of errors in VCDS, such as , unable to code, need licenced interface; it stopped doing full autoscan for the same reason; it disconnects from security access; the modules start to flash, unable to connect; went slow connecting to modules, etc, nevertheless it is all green in the VCDS and it is all good, unlimited and licensed.

Can you please guide me to basics, how does it work now, if I updated to the latest VIIplus, can I revert to where it all was working fine or is the update inevitable and irreversible now?

I've tried different VCDS starting from 21.3 which came with the cable in 2021 up until 23.3 and they are all the same, the do work but with different errors.

What am I doing wrong? I'm not stupid but it seems that im not bright either because the latest update is not working well.

I would appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have a problem. I've bought few days ago another clone, with STM32F429 chip. Package came today, I've install VCDS(haven't turned it on), plugged in cable - not recognized in Device Manager. Installed VIIPlus Loader, plugged out of USB, plugged in, drivers started installing, installed and then... poof. Blue LED turned off, tried on 2 different pc, 2 different USB cables, zero reaction on connecting interface. There was no information about drivers in readme that I've got from seller, also haven't found anything about it on web - I assume that ross-tech drivers works fine. Any ideas? Faulty one, or maybe accidentally I've broken something?

Not sure this cable needs one, but this might be FTDI driver issue. Be sure you've installed the correct driver (little "tinkered") to have things working.

FTDI driver for STM-based device? His cable has simply fried, that's the end of the story

Dear friends,
I tried viiplus loader v 08.23.07 by fly for vcds 23.3.1 latest one worked and secury code works for some modules not for all at least for me .
loader upgraded hex v2 to latest fw v01.10.02 and now when i use vcds 21.9 it scans but adaptations is not readable and is greyout for all modules.
I try every vii pluss loader but fw will NOT downgrade to previous versions.
How can i downgrade hex v2 frimware to lower versions that i had and worked well with 21.9 ?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like loader archive file broken, maybe you managed to find working file

[Smart66]

Firmware can't be downgraded using VIIPlusLoader :( Many members have same issue. Anyonee who succeeded to solve this issue?

[StanNB]

If you read this Thread carefully you should know that downgrade isn’t possible anymore.

The solution is: don’t update the device. It’s not necessary to use the latest version.

[Smart66]

I was curious to try the latest version which was offered to me automatically so VCDS cable got bricked after updating firmware :(

[crouchinggerbil]

Curiosity killed the vci. What is wrong with you? You knew already before you messed up lol

[StanNB]

That’s the problem this times: People always want the latest version. But 95% don’t need it.
Update VCDS only if you need it. If you don’t want to code 2022+ MQB cars there is no need to update.

[Smart66]

After I started VIIPlusLoader then firmware update started automatically so I couldn't skip it :( Many members had the same issue, firmware update can't be aborted :(

Thats because your all using the same loader!

Only latest versions of VIIPlusLoader will brick VCDS cable. It works fine with other older versions!

It won't work because VCDS will be bricked. I know that because I'd already tried it :(

[crouchinggerbil]

It won't work because VCDS will be bricked. I know that because I'd already tried it :(

In my opinion you should forget about theses clones and buy an original vci. Free updates and no hassle. Only costs around 500

[StanNB]

It won't work because VCDS will be bricked. I know that because I'd already tried it :(


Then you got the cheap V2 with modded firmware and red cable on PCB. Cable from fly working fine with latest version.

Its not my fault you bricked your vci. Wouldn't happen if you bought original. All I am saying is this is a tool worth investing in the original. Yes, I don't use it because of these problems. How many clone vci's have you bought? Probably cover the cost of original one at this stage for a lot of people

[StanNB]

But original software. And this thread is not for clones only.

[Smart66]

I know all that, you didn't help me with your advices. I've bought only one clone which I'm trying to repair. Of course I use other diagnostic tools too.

[Smart66]

No one talks about original VCDS. If anyone have issues with OEM VCDS he should contact Ross-Tech company.

[crouchinggerbil]

I know all that, you didn't help me with your advices. I've bought only one clone which I'm trying to repair. Of course I use other diagnostic tools too.

Its not just my advice in this thread and you still ignored what was there and bricked your vci anyway. Sure a couple of years ago a clone was worth getting because they worked. Nowadays they are causing more problems than they are worth.

ITS ORIGINAL VCDS SOFTWARE YOU ARE USING!!! Only difference is the loaders!

Not my fault you cannot afford more than $25 and expect miracles to happen with it. ALSO your understanding that someone can crack RDP2 lol If it could be done there would be no problem with clone chips today lol

[crouchinggerbil]

Another bit of advice/knowledge. If they are using RDP2, now you really are ferked! You should only stick to the version that came with your cable because even with RDP2 it becomes harder to update and there's a much higher risk of bricking your vci! Its a win win situation for the chinese. Either you buy newer vcis with newer versions or run the risk of bricking your vci lol

I'm agree that oem hex v2 doesn't have this problems but still unlimited oem hex v2 is too expensive for personal purpose and if you lost or damge to it you will lose huge money and not affordable to get new one.
But for clone one in worst scenario you will lose 25 box and get new one.

Your answer is in this thread. If your V2 is locked aka. bricked it’s impossible to solve the issue. The lock is permanently. No way to change this.

Try "SKLAD 66".

The one for 120, is Hex-Can in a Hex-V2 shell. That will be ATMEGA and won't work on anything after 2017. 199 euro is Hex-V2, but it is also a clone, which is more expensive than Aliexpress.

If he's claiming it will work without loader, thats partially correct, until you need to do anything that requires Security Access.

Its not a real Hex-V2 then. Look at the pics of the devices, the label is not a ross-tech one, so it will be a clone.

I never said original was cheaper. I said the Sklad66 clone was more expensive than Aliexpress clones. Given that they say their V2 has support for vehicles after 2018, then it will most certainly be an STM32F429 device.

Even the clone STM32F429 can do VCDS without loader, but the moment security access is required, you need the loader. Why pay more than twice the price for the Sklad one when you can get the F429 from Ali?

It really looks like fly cable. Can you post more images in HD resolution? I can't see many details on these small pictures :(

@Smart66

i have changed the pics.
look again.

That's what I was looking for :) Now, all is much clearer :)

[MrDerv]

Those internals are the same as the 429 i have. Thats definitely a clone, so will need the loader if you want to do security access.

As its a 429, its also rather expensive compared to the 429's on Aliexpress

Here you go.
It works with the old interface (12.12.0) without a 'loader'.

Check how your interface reports in the device manager.

Could someone help a little, or does anyone know about:
I have on my laptop windows 7 and 10. In windows 7 i have vcds 20.4.1 with loader (atmega cable). Now i bought stm32f429 cable and vcds is installed to windows 10 with loader.

Is there any worries? Seller said need to uninstall v1 loader because vcds can see that and block my pc? They are not in same drive.

Seems stm32f429 cable is disconnecting some times while im at some model like engine and doing basic settings, is that because i use new software? Should i use older software? Because my atmega works ALOT better...

Idk if you have any other ideas, if not I'll have to mark this cable as toast :(

@Mangaia

search for VCDSLoader v9.2 from Kolimer on this thread!

use VAGCOM_EEWriteLang.exe to flash FW and then you can use newer vcds versions over VCDSLoader.exe

when iam able to dump the 70$ flash from STM and flash it to 30$ it will be update? :beguiled:

I use 08.22.09.005 loader with 22.10 on the STM32F429. It works for me.

Every time i've tried jumping to 23+, i run into issues, Security access being one of them. And reading that peoples Hex-V2's have bricked lately with newer loaders, i'm sticking to what i've got.
I have a 405 one (from fly I think?)
Right now I am using it with 23.3.0 and loader 08.023.02, seems to work.

If you know what to test precisely, I could try.

Newer versions of loader may brick VCDS cable so it's better to use older versions.

It doesn't specifically say. It will be STM based since they link the ATMega device in the listing for older cars. Its a chinese website.

But which STM 405/415/429?

You are best buying from Aliexpress, at least their listings state which one, and you have buyer protection if paying with Paypal.

Its stm32f 405/407 or 429, you can choose. Just ask from seller. I bought that like 1 month ago, it works but i have tried on old car only. Only thing i dont know why vut it is slow sometimes, not sure is it about software/pc or old car. Atmega works alot faster.
If you need for 2015 -> that is what you need? Or you can buy 100% same chip from aliexpress like 80-90$? If you trust for seller :D
You get better service from obd2cartool. I have bought all my cables from there and customer service is good, i got good discount last time when i bought ds150e and that stm32f429 cable :) Also shipping was fast and no customs! They did do all for shipping to europe without need pay vat

If the chip is locked to RDP2 then the debug interface is disabled and you can’t connect a debugger to it.
I assume this is a FLY cable and if it is then most likely RDP2

YES MAN!

1st step: you must have already installed the VIIPlus Loader(compatible with vcds software) and the vcds software. The icons must be on desktop.
2nd step: with your vcds cable connected only open VIIPLus Loader (dont press start vcds or more info...) and on this VIIPLus Loader opened DRAG the icon vcds.exe from desktop to VIIPlus Loader and automatically will run and start that software.
The reason of your error it is that the VIIPlus Loader only run and start the latest vcds software opened before. And an old software it is now it his memory...

Dont forget to THANKS me!

If you are lucky then you can flash this with the FLY firmware I released some time a go using a STM debugger. I think this type of cable might be preset to RDP1.

But if this cable was bought to use with any newer version of VCDS then 20.4.1 it is probably already flashed with this FLY firmware and you tried to upgrade it using VIIPlus loader? If this is the case then you are out of luck and cable is bricked.

From what i have seen, on AliExpress most of the sellers of stm429 are providing with the cable a package that contain VCD$ and KolimerVII Loader (displayed interface when you open) and when execute the exe is named BadraxVII Loader, and also on AliExpress sellers are selling same stm429 with same loader but with interface BadraxVII Loader as per photo of sanshao. The sellers warn you to not use Viiplusloader at all, their engineers will provide you updated loader that work with desired VCD$.
So, chinese sellers probably got pissed by Fly too by locking cables not manufactured by Fly but by others, and created their own loaders but with Kolimer and Badrax name for notoriety, pretty sure, to increase the sells.
So, from my point of view who received, who has received such a cable with other loaders instead of viiplusloader, better stay away from viiplusloader, especially starting with 08.023.04+, if you have a working cable with the other loaders and viiplusloader under 08.023.04 too, stay with, don't update.

@Pfennig when you ordered your cable, this year, from AliExpress? can you also post photos with PCB of your STM32F405 that got killed? I'm interested to see what PCBs got locked by viiplusloader.
Short info: STM32F405 based interfaces bought at least 2 years ago, seems to not get locked/killed. On other forums some users says didn't have problem interface STM32F405 bought 2 years ago, mine is also 2 years old STM32F405 based, i posted 2 photos few comments back (i will test this week the loader :afraid: :stoned:)

Hi,

my cable hex-v2, STM32F405 based, was bought 10/2020 on AliExpress and works fine with vcds 23.3.1 FRM and VIIPlusLoader 08.023.7. No problem

[mrben]

Mine bought on March 2021 STM405 based from AliExpress, and used and using with viiplusloader from the beginning, i will test 08.023.11 this week too, hope to not have a problem starting from now.
Probably, these were manufactured by Fly...

LE: just updated to 08.023.11 also FW and not get locked, working with to 23.11.0.
So, do not updated via viiplusloader if you recently ordered from AliExpress 405/429, if your seller didn't confirmed it's working with viiplusloader, otherwise your interface get locked. Use loader provided by seller only.

Mine is also STM405 chip 2020/2021 and just updated to VCDS 23.11 with VIIPlusLoader 08.023.11.

[AudiS4]

Anyone have link for the most current clone that works?

Pretty sure the Badrax Loader actually comes from Fly. It makes a POST Request to this address when opening the exe:
http://www.fly431.com/flyobd/webservice/WsForOEMVII

Seems like it wants to check whether you have a real Fly cable and should use the VIILoader or not

Apologies for the rant.

[nitrox]

What makes you say that? You are newly registered to the forum, and this is your second post?

Do you have any evidence to support your statement?

Yet another post accusation against Badrax, getting sick of it :offended:

My post literally is against Fly and not Badrax. I said that the BadraxVII Loader is not from Badrax (as he already confirmed) and that it is most likely from Fly since it’s connecting to his domain.

I’ll upload a screenshot of the wireshark cap later.

Also i’m usually in another another forum and i thought i might as well post it here too

[mrben]

yes agree with @nitrox , i have stated the same few post back, kolimer/badrax loader is a chinese loader with false name to increase the sells due to notoriety names on this forum

My apologies then. A bit more context as to where the loader came from would have helped in the original post.

Thanks for confirming, I'll edit my post :friendly_wink:

Guys, everyone just needs to calm down... it's not about the loaders - it's about the device versions themselves. On AliExpress there are upgradeable (expensive) and non-updateable (cheap PCB: B03-ST), despite the fact that the chip STM32F405 is soldered. users of cheap versions (like me), who tried to update, ended up with dead. I think this is largely our fault - the seller immediately warned: to use only and ONLY the version of the program and loader on the CD/DVD that came with the kit. yes, the trick worked for a while... but then the greedy bastard FLY changed something in his soft. in general, don't take risks with updated versions - it's not worth it. )))

I'm sticking to the version 22.10 with my 429, i've no need to update as it works well.

I've never understood why the need to update to the latest software version. Its mostly bug-fixes or new model additions (most of which are now limited in what coding can be done thanks to SFD).

I'm sure the Chinese will soon clone FLY interface.

Hello frends

I have a problem recently with my VCDS 189 HEX+CAN cable. For 2 years there were no problems since a few days ago it started. What I noticed is that my license has been revoked. With HW Type I see that Langruage is unknown. I flashed the Cable with EN language and tested the cable. It worked fine until the next release. He needed a flash again. Why does it lose the language after every coding or diagnosis? I am attaching pictures of the problem

thanks in advance

[Gimse]

Check the anti-virus program you have, including windows defender anti-virus and see which file it blocked that is related to VCDS. More than likely it blocked your vcds.hook.dll file for which you have to restore and then add it to the exceptions.

[hadrian]

I buyed two vcds-hex-v2 from this seller
https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006108935327.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2vnm
These is supposed to be "Free Update Online" but is not. Only the price is for this.
This guy have updatable and not updatable interface for sale. I payed for updatable.
Seller sended me download link with Badrax_VIILoader_V9.23.09.001_2303_R1 that work only with vcds 23.3.1.
If I try to make update to vcds 23.11.0, the loader stop working and message is
"Please install version BadraxVIILoader_Installer_V9.XX.XX.XXX_2303.exe".
Exist any solution to make it working or simply I am another sucker who payed to china man ?

[mrben]

It's working only with that loader, do not try to updated with viiplusloader at all, your interface will get locked if you update via viiplusloader.
You must wait for your seller to release a new loader version that works with your interface and send it to you, there's no other way.

Could you send me this BadraxViiplusloader, please ? i think i can flash my b03 cable and fix it with this firmware.
Thanks

@Fabio89 check your PM

[hid3]

Fabio, what will you do after fixing it? Resell the stuff locally?

Hello. I replaced an ABS pump on my A5 2014. The pump has the same part nr as the old one. However I am struggling with the long coding. Recovering the old coding from the old pump is not an option because the pump is damaged from the crash. Is there an other way to code it besides the regular online code?

Hi All, I bought (and successfully used) a VCDS clone cable last year running 22.3 software and using the VCDSLoader to start it. Came to use it again a few days ago and by mistake, still had the WiFi switched on my laptop and now I can't use the software. I've taken my cable apart and it seems to have the ATMEGA162 chip (see attached photos). Is there any way I can re-flash / fix my cable so I can use it again? Many thanks!

Right then, thank you

[MrDerv]

SFD is hit or miss, you need to buy a code online to use SFD, and if the code doesn't work, many of these sellers don't offer a refund.

RossTech are working on enabling this online with VW like OBDeleven does, but its still a little way off yet.

VIIPlusLoader, BadraxVIILoader or KolimerVIILoader. all the interfaces have same pcb layout and nobody here can tell you which one right is :banghead:

no,i already bought their 3 items.

I also know vcds hex-v2 STM32f415 and B03 vcds hex-v2 STM32f405 are using fly vcsd hex-v2 old firmware.

but only partial function.

Looking over previous posts. NO its not, as they are specific to the adapters bought.

[mirage47]

Ok, but what is the better ? Fly or BADRAX ?
Thank's

[miouser]

@mirage47

Badrax don't sell anything! these are all crafts from fly.
read this thread.

[MrDerv]

As above. Badrax doesn't sell. His name and Kolimer has been copied, for what reason i have no idea.

Fly was booted from the forum, for his conduct, and for accusing Badrax of copying fly's adapter, which if you look through the many pages in this thread, never happened. Fly also sent threats to me via PM and accused me of copying adapters too.

[sanshao]

Has badrax cracked fly's latest V08.023.11 VIIPlusLoader firmware？

[MrDerv]

Speak to the cable supplier. Badrax doesn't create the firmware you are looking for

[sanshao]

I know vcds hex-v2 STM32f415 and B03 vcds hex-v2 STM32f405 are using Badrax-cracked fly vcds hex-v2 firmware.

I need fly's latest V08.023.11 VIIPlusLoader firmware.

Let's hope badrax can crack it

don't dream. some fraudster stole public knowledge and is now making a business out of it.
I don't think this will happen again

hi
attached pictures of cheap cable with arm405 uses VIIPlusLoader-08.023.02
if i use loader08.023.07 or newer will it brake?
will bradex loader work with cheap china clone

[mrben]

If you received the interface with viiplusloader, it should work with any viiplusloader version. Your serial no. from pictures is for viiplusloader (read few posts back 1L, 2L 3L).
But i know that this PCB got locked on other users. If your interface get locked by viiplusloader then it's broken, you cannot do anything to revive it back at this moment, doesn't matter what loader you will try to revive it, it won't work, if you want to risk you can try to update. Read posts few posts back, it's your decision.
You should use loader you have received from your seller, and you should ask your seller about the interface update to provide you a new loader.
