ICOM and Xprog fixed FRM3 module on BMW R56

Successfully repaired my dead FRM3 model on my BMW R56, with the MINIMUM cost (xprog and BMW ICOM Winkfp)! Here, i wanna share something useful with you all.xprog

Note: The setup below did work for me, but i’m not sure of yours. You are at your risk.

My model:

2011 BMW R56

Reason for FRM repair:

I disconnected the battery and the DME to change the thermostat and when I put it back together the FRM was dead.

Tool i used:Except the BMW ICOM A2 emulator plus ISTA+ I had, i also was shopping for xprog v5.55 boxes from

http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/xprog-m-programmer-dongle-cas-decryption.html

Before this whole ordeal of the junk BMW/MINI FRM dying the only software I used was playing with was Carly for iOS and Dashcommand. But cannot solve issues.

BKGD location:

BKGD is on the HC(S)12 BDM adapter in the attached photo.

Vdd(+5V) = Vcc
RESET = B5
BKGD = B3
GND = GND (do not use the GND that is B0)

I think since we are not using the XCLKS and EXTAL flashing works with or without the BDM adapter.
Xprog m software installation:

I was not able to get this software to work with windows 7 64-bit. I was lucky enough to have an old HDD with windows 7 32-bit.
Before plugging in the xprog hardware go to system properties and change the device installation settings to never install driver software from windows update.
Xprog and FRM fix using Xprog:Once the software was setup I hooked up the frm to the xprog and tried to make a backup of the existing EPROM via the MCU/MPU -> Freescale 9S12XE -> MC9s12XEQ384_EEE profile. Error partition corrupted. Set the sector to 16. I also made a backup of the existing P-FLASH via the MCU/MPU -> Freescale 9S12XE -> MC9s12XEQ384_P-FLASH profile. I think I got errors the first few times I tried to do this but restarting the program resolved the error.
In the MCU/MPU -> Freescale 9S12XE -> MC9s12XEQ384_EEE profile: erase, blank, open good EEE dump, write, verify, close, new, read.
This took several tries because the read back was still showing as blank.
I removed the BDM adapter and went direct into the xprog box. I also closed the program and reopened it when it kept giving me errors. After I was able to get a good write to the FRM I installed it back into the car and it was working again with a couple of errors (xenon high beam failure and fog light failure).

NCS expert & WINKFP setup for FRM:In NCS expert I backed up the FRM, changed the VO and VIN, reset the FRM to factory and still had the high beam and fog errors. I proceeded to WINKFP to update the FRM and none of the ZB-numbers for my ECU worked. I updated WINKFP with BMW coding tool and the list of available ZB-numbers changed. After WINKFP was able to update the FRM I went back to NCS Expert and copied the VO from the CAS to the FRM and then set the FRM back to defaults. Everything was fixed. Fired up ISTA+ and cleared fault memory.

SOLVED!Afterwards I hooked the frm back to the xprog and made a backup of the EEE and pflash.

My FRM:R56 HIGH EKS 35 frm3r pl3 6135 3456395 01 23994322 sw141030 hw07 5324828c5

Internet file:R56 HIGH EKS 35 frm3r pl3 6135 3456987 01 23994322 sw156033 hw11 5324828r5

According to realoem parts 61353456395 and 61353456987 are Bilaterally exchangeable.

Hopefully this demonstrates to people it’s possible to repair these modules with the minimum cost.

Recover BMW E84 FRM by Ncs Expert and Xprog

It’s an awesome guide that is a walk in the park. Helpful to those want to recover/resurrect BMW FRM model.

Model: BMW E84

ZB number: 9230450

Car condition:

The car has a 5year/125k miles warranty here. This car had 126k miles and 5 years and a couple of months now that the high pressure diesel pump and FMR module failed in the same month. Was horrible timing to break down on the road.

Tool solution (Xprog):

Got the Xprog-m box ecu programmer and I installed it with installing adobe, using the .reg file to mod the register and then I moved the xprog into C: drive and plugged in the module. I manually selected the win xp32bit drivers and it installed 2x drivers.

First try:Then I opened Xprog m programmer and selected com11 and tried to do a read of a Atmel AT93C66 Serial EEprom like all the vidoes (without sound ofc..) is doing as I assumed it’s reading a test ecu or smt inside the xprog. It failed and said bad conenction on pin XXXX. Maybe my assumption wrong so that I actually have to conenct this AT93C66 to the xprog to do the test. I’m not sure. If so I’ll just test it with the MCU but I didn’t want him to drive all the way to my place just to find out that I didn’t have a working install of Xprog..

Final try- SUCCESS!Connected the Xprog-m and it worked at first try to read out p-data. EEPROM was corrupt so it didn’t read out. Used a FRM .bin file from the first post and flashed EEPROM and p-data, did a readout and used beyond compare to compare the readout with the file I flashed and it was identical. Installed it in the car and had a few error messages but it lighted up and things started working again. I went into Winkfp hit update zusb, input the VIN and flashed. Opened Ncs expert software in expert mode, opened CAS to get vo/vin and hit “back” button to select NFRM and executed sg_codieren to code it with vo/vin. No errors and everything worked afterwards.

Hopefully, it helps someone.
