    I am guessing that this was done using a Tech II?

    If they use a custom os then it will be locked. The only way to unlock them is to send me the computer and i can open it up and read out/put it back to stock for you and fix the seed/key area.

    I only charge $35 + shipping for this service. It will save you from having to purchase a new e38.

    nope. just did it in efilive. it definetly wasnt a standard calibration as i could suck it out but not see it.

    so i just did a entire write with the factory cal and went from there.

    attached is the file i sucked out. maybe the efi boys might be able to take a look at it.

    And the factory cal i wrote back in.

    Obviously we can't support HPT's custom OS's in our software.
    However, the check we have in the software now that confirms the OS you are about to flash in to an E38 is not about to kill it also includes the HPT OS's numbers for when you want to return a non locked ECM back to a factory OS. So if you do come across these and need to return it back to a factory OS, just choose a file and try to flash, if it's a mismatch we will tell you.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
