    My unit does respond to the normal flash routines ONLY when in flash mode.. my unit appears to have flash unit because i was able to flash it via efilive using my flashscan v1 cable...

    I am unable to flash with v1 when emulation is enabled and i can surely understand it.. no worries there AND i am not interested either.

    I was able to have 2 different OS installed... and when connected to the scan tool you could switch between them. So i know i have flash enabled.. Now.. I can't flash the flash portion, the car won't start with either the flash or emulation or realtime. It will display many code P1518 C1276 are the ones that always repeated.

    My serial number of my RR is 0106030313173135

    What i need to know is... is there a way to hard reset it? my guessing is that since i played while runing with switching between flash and emu, the PCM locked itself out because of the ETC functionnig.

    What I will do is open it up and then take a picture and see if i have a flash or not... That would take us all out of the doubt.

    Yep, yours has a 28F4008 flash chip on it.

    Yes, flash is present. So you have one of the units which is flash enabled.

    Maybe Paul or Ross can comment on the possibility of flash lockup/lockout when going in and out of emulation and reflashing the chip around the same timeline? I think that would be the issue. Probably corrupted flash.

    Do this, try powering the unit down (2-3 hours, overnight) in 'emulation' mode, and power it back up in vehicle, keeping it in emulation mode with a known good tune file. See if that works. If it does, then we know the emu and PCM is OK. Also, you can try flashing a 99 OS into the emulator and then going to an 02 OS while the key is on. That will also force a hard reset of the PCM.

    Whenever you're ready to send it to me for inspection/repair, I'm here for you. I've got plenty of good chips I could swap on there and hard program.
