PCM Hammer can read, but not write - why?

[NSFW]

This guy has a pair of P59s that had 12579405 (the intel-only OS) and PCM Hammer wrote 12587603 to them, but now either of them will allow writes. They will allow reads, but only after entering the OS ID manually.

I've never heard of this kind of thing - anyone know what causes this, or how to get out of this state?

I feel kinda guilty because I encouraged him to upgrade to 7603.

Also, for Antus... I had to type this up twice because I got a login screen the first time, and lost the text after that. I've seen the same thing when trying to reply to threads. I think that's part of the reason the forum has been so quiet lately.

In fact I ran into that when posting this reply, but thankfully was able to recover the text by hitting the back-button after I got the login page.

If you get a login screen when trying to post a reply, DO NOT TRY TO LOG IN.
Instead, press the back-button, and copy the text that you were trying to post.
Then click the submit button, and log in, and paste that copied text.

Also, don't try to edit a message. You'll lose your changes and you can't get them back by hitting the back-button.

I've logged in 4-5 times in the last few minutes posting these replies and trying (but faiing) to edit them.

Possible asking him to try use LSDroid and see if it writes?
This will tell us if there is a kernel related problem, or a ECU hardware related problem.

Take that back, "Permission to upload" failed, thats at the start of uploading the kernel.

Im guessing either two different addresses are used, or two different size kernels? Hence the read kernel can be uploaded by write cannot?

if hes got to enter osid its soft bricked. probably wrote a bad file. its same kernel for all p59s.

@nsfw send me a PM if you have any ideas. Something must be invalulidating your session. Were behind cloudflare now, got rid of the bots (especially the ai scanners that overloaded the site with antisocial behaviour) and scammers thats why it quitened down. Im not seeing logouts only occasional cloudflare revalidations and I dont loose my post if I click through it. But im not a cloudflare expert.

That's really interesting that the login problem is just me. I just assumed that it was a server-side issue that would affect everyone, but if it's just me then I have some troubleshooting to do.

My employer's website was getting hammered with crawlers too, pretending to be Chrome and ignoring robots.txt. Super annoying, because we'd end up getting paged due to side-effects. We're pretty sure it was caused by content scrapers for AI. Cloudflare helped a lot.

It's not just you NSFW, I have seen this several times.

Hopefully this time it works . (Copy post text first )

Post worked first cut.

Someone at LS1Tech said that the "04 Chevy MPV" file in the BoredTruckOwner repo is corrupt (or is intact but was never a P59 bin), and that would probably explain it. It's the file this guy flashed to his P59s.

So I suspect that's the root cause.
