LS1 Reflash Tool for 512k PCMs

Post by dimented24x7 »

This is a stand-alone app that can reflash both the calibration as well as the OS on a '411 type PCM. This works with the AVT-852 and provides a simple interface to reflash the PCM. To handle reflashes, the app will require a full 512k bin to work with, and to start you can simply select the download bin from the drop down to save a copy of your bin. From there you can use TunerPro to edit the bin to make changes, then re-upload. Typical cal reflash time is < 1min. An OS reflash will take about 3 minutes.

To get to the more advanced features, there is a hidden control in the lower leftmost part of the window. Double clicking there will bring up the advanced features. To do an OS refash, you check the 'Flash OS' box and follow the usual instructions for reflashing. Then in standard mode reflash the bin again to do the new calibration for the OS. A full reflash requires two flashes. This is a safety feature to prevent corrupting the OS since in standard mode, no writes are allowed in the OS sector.
