That sucks I believe you have to go to the dealer and reflash the ecm. After that if you show the paper work for that Diablo might be able to unlock your Predator I am guessing here.

Go back to whatever revision you were on, and then restore the backup, then update the Predator.

Set the DSDownloader to the legacy connection and set it to the same com port it is on now, then do the update and it will work.

Close DSDL and reopen in Legacy Mode, then try again.
If you just switched to Legacy without closing, it maintains the auto detect function.
