ECU module programming guide using FDRS

[JEB]

Oh I see. Wonderful. I think I have one with Windows 10 and will try that.
Thank you!

You can get an older version that works with Windows 11 here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/ecu-module-programming-guide-using-fdrs.8249/post-406080

Windows 11? FDRS 38.X.X doesn’t work with Windows 11. You need to run an older version of FDRS.

I’m running the latest FDRS with latest windows 11 no problems here.

That hasn’t been most people’s experience, particularly if they are seeing server errors.

I’ll consider myself lucky and knock on wood that it keeps on running.

It appears that the older version is working well.
Updates are happening. Thank you!

Is there a way to re-apply an update? I had one fail a couple of parts of it due to a connection issue however it said it completed ok so I am suspect.

Just note that I'm not recommending it. It's tricky and you only get 15 tries before it blocks your APIM from future updates and will require you to replace it, so there is some risk to it. I got to 10 tries before I tried a different computer and had it take. I was very nervous while watching it fail over and over.

Feel free to PM me before trying and I'll walk you through exactly where my tries failed and what equipment I ended up using.

I'm trying to update the APIM via USB cable and am getting this error. Firewall and antivirus are turned off and the recommended cables and connectors are being used. Any recommendations

?

I had this exact issue with my laptop. It was a computer related issue. Maybe a usb driver thing? I resolved it by using my desktop. Do you have a different computer you could try?

Yes I could try my wifes laptop. So Id have to start the process all over again correct?

Make sure you are using a USB 3.0 or newer...probably are, but I also got a weird error when I tried a USB2 device.

Yeah, you'll have to start over. Also need another license. Also a good suggestion to try a usb 3.0 cable before trying another computer. I was using a 2.0 cable on my attempts.
