Obviously it must be a P59 OS and so far we only know of one NO NO when swapping Os's on the P59.

The OS 12579405 should not be written to a AMD chipped P59, it (OS 12579405) is only capable of writing to an Intel chip.
It is a 2003 Os.

It does NOT brick the PCM, however it also cannot write to the flash chip, thus unable to save a VIN change or write the Parameters from RAM ...
