Hi guys, i've made a mistake when trying to clone an frm2 module from a bmw. I wrote both the eeprom and the p-flash data to the new donor (with the same part number) and it's bricked the module. It now won't communicate at all which i've since read can happen if you change the p-flash data aswell. Wish i'd read this first!

Does anyone have a good frm2 data dump for the following part number: 6135 9166711-03

I do have a load of dump files and one for this part number but the file size of the p-flash file is 2mb instead of 256kb so i can't flash it back to recover the unit.

If anyone has the p-flash at the least or a good recovery p-flash in 256kb that will work to help me rescue this frm2 i'd be eternally grateful thank you!

Or is there some software that can convert the 2mb p-flash file into the 256kb size or is that not possible?

Thanks in advance guys!

After converting your 2mb to 256kb it matched the second file 2606181305FLASHXDT256.bin byte-for-byte completely.

That will be because it's a dump i took from the original faulty frm2 module that i'm trying to clone that's suffered from water ingress. Problem is when this file is written to the donor frm2 module the frm2 module just becomes completely unreadable by any diagnostic. That's why i was searching for a known good p-flash dump for this part number or another one that i can use to repair the module. I've read that if you change the p-flash file aswell as the eeprom which i did it bricks the module in such a way. I'm assuming there is a way to save these modules by writing a good correctly sized p-flash?
