iidtool update failed

Post by karsteb » Tue Dec 25, 2018 9:14 pm

Hi. Tried to update firmware on the IIDtool BT. The updater found the tool and started updating. At the end it reported status failed. Now I cannot contact it with the app, there is no blue light on it. The updater software cannot contact it. The update was done using my Macbook, but now the updater cannot reach it using either hte Mac or the PC.

Ideas, or is it bricked? Is there a place I can send it?

Email Pat at Gap - they have a contact list on their website. It is unusual for them to be bricked, but never say never.

Shipped it to GAP in Canada. They fixed it. Apparently update of the bootloader had failed and needed a factory visit. The best service!

Remember when doing any updates that the vehicle battery must maintain its voltage so some sort of charger should be connected to the battery

Some updates can be done with just a fully charged battery - but unless you know for sure, then the battery should be maintained by something like a Ctex in supply mode.
