U7140 06 GT update problems

Post by FrankBlack »

Hi,

I "flashed" my GT back to the "original backup" followed the instructions (https://forum.diablosport.com/download/file.php?id=135) for backing up the Predator and the message I get is:
"Please use the Performance Menu to read the original backup before trying to export a backup"

So I flashed to the "93 tune" thinking it needed to have my GT factory tune on the machine. The message is:
Start PC retrieve at 115200.........back up failed.

Can someone hand hold me thru this procedure.

So far I have:
1) Installed DSdownloader software on my laptop. Correct Predator and baud rate selected, U7140, 115200, Compression Send is already checked off at the top.
2) TrendNet USB to DB9 serial cable with driver installed and set to 115200

The DSdownloader software has a button for updating the tool. Can I just use that function? If so what are the instructions?
I think this is the correct set of instructions (https://forum.diablosport.com/download/file.php?id=3778)


Thank you,

Frank

Ok, all I want to do is update the tool so I can use the correct tune for my JLT CAI.

So do I follow these instructions here https://forum.diablosport.com/download/file.php?id=3778

And use the file here https://forum.diablosport.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59633 (middle of the page u7140_stang_05-9r09.crom)


Thank you,


Frank
