Check your cars for previous ecu change before doing anything, it can cost you couple of hours to resolve a simple issue. The car was tuned from someone else, and it had a different checksum, when i did a read i forgot to uncheck the checksum check which after read couldn’t do a correct checksum and that’s why the car didn’t want to start. Later i tried to flash ECU with Launch X431 PAD V with original file, but still the same. After that i flashed the file i took out from the car, took out the ECU and did it on bech with Foxflash and corrected the checksum with Winols for the whole file. Which resolved the problem.
