BACKUP any Autel Scanner: Backing up Autel Tools - Autel MaxiSYS, MaxiPRO, MaxiCOM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- I demonstrate how to backup any Autel scanner. Backing up Autel tools (tablets) e.g. Autel MaxiSYS is very important while Autel scanner subscriptions are active. This will ensure you are able to restore your Autel device in the event of data corruption, after factory resets etc. Backing up Autel updates and data ensures that all the updates you downloaded while in subscription remain available to you after expiry of your annual Autel update lisense (should you choose not to renew). This procedure covers any Autel device ranging from the MaxiPRO MP808TS, MaxiCOM (MK808, MK908P etc), MaxiCHECK MX808 and more.

Great! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing such informative video.
You're welcome! Have you received your device yet?
Should receive today but not yet..
Most probably end of the day or Saturday.
Thanks
In case I need ur support regarding the tool or technical issue with car . is any way to contact u directly?
Nice vid Bro 😀 I just ordered myself the maxicom MK808bt. Is a 32 gig sufficient for my newly ordered divice 😀 keep up the the good work man 👍😀
Thanks, man. 32gb SD card is sufficient.
Great videos and content! Just as a side note I tried a 128gb in my new mx808 and it worked. Not sure if this is because my model is the latest with the 64gb internal storage but just thought I’d share . Also on mine there has been a scan file created automatically on the external SD card as well as the internal without any input from me. Is this correct ?
Thanks for the compliment & feedback. Interesting. Even your Mx808 is listed to support SD cards up to 32gb only.
On the creation of a scan folder, sounds normal. Guessing the scanner is prepping it to be part of working memory. Actually, if space becomes an issue on some tools, the cars can be moved to the sd card and used as functional memory.
Hello,thank you for sharing it.i have autel maxisys ms906 , subscription has been expired and some car brands aren't dowload .there is anyways to download it or compy it from another devices only software.
Thanks for watching.
I really don't know to be honest.
You can add SD card up to 128 GB in MaxiPro 808, you just need to go to the settings / storage and erase SD card, then it will work 100%
You are correct
Do you have a video of putting the stuff that you backed up on usb back to the Autel when it gets corrupted or files lost ?Thank you
I don't, however, it's the exact reverse process. The tool will give a notification if you want to replace the scan folder. Click yes, and wait for it to complete.
Once you back it up on to the card do you leave it in the Autel or take it out and store it in a safe place ?just wondering if info gets lost if taken out .
Take out and keep in a safe place.
hello, I already have one autel scanner - the older model DS708. I want to buy one of the newer models, does the MaxiPro808TS have the same functions as the MS906 and MK908? I believe that most of the models differ only in battery capacity, display size, processor and ECU profiling functions. is it not so? what do you think? greetings
The MP808TS and Ms906 have the same functions. The 906 has faster hardware, however the 906 will not relearn or program TPMS sensors. The MP808TS has the advantage in terms of TPMS functions.
The MK908P is more advanced than the 2 above as it comes with a J2534 box for ECU programming of Mercedes and BMW only. Again it will not in isolation do TPMS relearning/programming. But can be used with the another Autel TPMS tool (TS601) to do this.
In the end it will come down to the capabilities you will want to cover at your shop and budget...
All the best!
Hi thank you for this Video, in case you have an TS Version do you Need to Backup the Tpms Folders also? Or are all beendet Informations Saved in the SCAN folder. On my mx808s-ts there are separate Folders for Tpms and Tpms retrofit for example. Greetings Tobi
Thanks, mate.
Just the Scan folder.
@@DIYAutoworksNG ok then I ignore the other ones. Thank You, greetings Tobi.
hello I have a Maxisys ms908 resetie I lost the information .. what do you recommend doing?
Hi, and thanks for watching. I am not clear on your comment. Do you mean you lost the information on your MS908 recently or that you did a reset and lost information?
Either way, with lost information you need your backup SD card (if you had one) or an active subscription to get your information back. Hope you have one of the two?
Love your channel, I need a little nod in the right direction. I am thinking of picking up a tool for my side hustle. Are the additional features on the 906bt worth the premium over this 808ts
Thanks mate! MS or MK?
@@DIYAutoworksNG Mp808ts or would the launch line perform better
I meant when you said 906BT whether you were referring to MK906BT or MS906BT? Haven't really used a Launch product so can't give a review of them.
@@DIYAutoworksNG Ms906bt
The MS906BT has faster hardware and can be connected to a oscilloscope & video scope. However, functions are the same with the MP808TS. The downside of the MS906BT is that it doesn't have full TPMS functionality and so cannot activate TPMS sensors (a step that is critical for relearning sensors neither will it program Autel MX TPMS sensors. Personally, I would prefer the MP808TS just for the last reason. However, if your priorities are the advantages of the MS906BT then you can go with.
🙋♂️ so I should update the apps on Autel scanner and ignore the warning ⚠️ sign that comes up saying to back up files first ?your video says to update before getting started isn’t there a chance I could lose all files?
Good question! There is that risk. However, it just isn't practical to copy that Scan folder before every update. It can take up to 3hrs to copy... That's just my rationale.
Great video Bro , i have peoblem when i sent bmw,benz,etc ، to sd card its same problem no enugh space in my internal 145 mb. Any idea about that? Thank you
I responded to this question on the video about low memory
First of all, thank you for the backup information! My Autel 808S subscription expired just last February 14, 2024, and I did a full backup of the scan folder, plus I also updated to the latest firmware. Today, I turned on my scanner and received a message regarding a firmware update. I noticed a #1 in settings about a firmware update. I continued to use my scanner and ignored the firmware update. My question is, do I need a subscription in order to update the firmware? If I do not require a subscription, do I have to update the firmware even though my scanner works perfectly?
You're welcome. No subscription needed for firmware updates. Done a couple of them without a subscription. Keep that backup tight!
Hi there l put my MP 808TS to factory settings
if l purchased a second MP 808TS
Made a backup. Could i use the backup to restore the other one.
Or could l buy a later model and use the backup from that to restore my MP 808TS.
Thanks Chris
I think it should work but I'm not sure, at all.
Hi.sir,I have im508 out of date,it’s to much money to update.so could you tell me how to do on im508 for a better to work as well,
I'm not very clear on your question.
Please I have an autel Im508 I have tried several times on how to increase the storage of the device but could not get it fix
Hope it's a genuine class 10 sd card? Fake SD cards or those that are not class 10 may fail
Autel just added an extra year for me automatically for free. I think I'm not the only one that gets it.
Wow! That's interesting... Let me check my tool. Lol
@@DIYAutoworksNG I read it wrong it's its 4-23 as in april 23rd and not april 2023, I didn't get a year extra.
Sounds more like it 😆
Couldn't help thinking is Autel splashing out
I DO HAVE NEW ONE 908 BUY ONE YEAR A GO CAN I COPY IN SD CARD?? PUT IN TO OTHER??
I haven't done this before, and can't say.
I?ve got a 128 in a maxi check ,will this work or not.
I'd say you try. If it completes successfully, you're good. I don't recall the max SD card rating for the MX.
What do you do if your SD card says is corrupted that's what I want to know I have the I'll tell SD708 and my SD card says it's a corrupt
Sadly, you'll have to format the SD card.
My MK808BT Pro mentions 64GB in the online manual as the maximum for the SD Card
Definitely follow what's mentioned as your max SD card limit. Some the earlier ones were capped at 32gb
I tried doing it the way you did it. It worked until i got a error that said there is not enough space in the sd card. What do i do now. The sd card was new.
What size of sd card and what model of Autel scanner? Also, what's the specs of the sd card you used? Class 10? etc
What if my scanner does not have one ?
I have maxiSys MS906 Pro
I advise you create one ASAP
When you hide the backup copy window, how do i see that window again after pressing hide button?
Drag down the top of the screen as you would do on android phones, then you will see the copy progress bar. Click it and it will become visible again.
is it to be for outel 508?
Same process.
can i use someone else s back up (also an mk808)for my mk808??? what happens when i restore to factory settings without back up and expired subscription.?all apps dissapear i think??
I don't know if someone else's backup can be used. The scan folder also contains all records of previous scans and some info unique to the tool it was created on. It could work, I just don't know.
A factory reset, takes the tool back to where it was at first boot. Not sure if it will clear all the apps or just the updates. I think the latter. This is my understanding, but I haven't done one. Maybe I should, and do a video on it. Thanks.
@@DIYAutoworksNG yes oke you got it...not sure here as wel but thanks for the info....LOOKING forward for that video,very cool thanks!!!!
hello iam thanks for who answer me
i have outel 508 will expired at 26/11/2022
may i use this way to get longer cars program?
because my friend told me if you use this way you can program key before the date of expired 26/11 while you update is finshed..... this way can help me to program key before day of expire? thanks for anyone we who got information
Basically do outstanding updates and backup scanner say on 25/11/2022.
Tool will continue to program keys in line with all updates received after expiry. The only exception is some cars like Chrysler/Fiat from 2018 that require online access due to the secure gateway protocol.
Hello,could I pls ask a info as well...I have a IM 608 and how many megabytes you recommend In order to use to get copies of my files ?
Do everytime I update tablet all old files are lost...thanks
64GB can be used for the IM608. There's always a risk of file corruption while updating hence the advice the backup files. Not very practical, but that's the recommendation from Autel.
@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks bro🙏
You're welcome!
Hi, I have a problem with my ms906ts. I think I have a backup but everytime I try to restore it says copy failed. Also, when I go to VCI, the TPMS is not there. I've lost all functionality I had before I ran out of subscription and essentially have a brick 😑 I downloaded PC suite to try to factory reset but can't figure out how to get into update mode so it can see my tablet.
You are trying to copy from the SD card to the scanner, right? Ensure you delete the existing scan folder first (or copy it to a 3rd device, just in case), before starting the copy. If the sum of the existing plus the new file exceeds the available space on the scanner, the copy will fail. You don't need the PC suite for a factory reset. It's purely done on the tool under storage in android settings.
Regarding TPMS, do you see the TPMS tab on the tool's interface? It shouldn't show under VCI.
When i want to change language it says you dont have authorization for doin that and says please optain authorization i dont know what to do
I suggest you email Autel support.
Is there a way to get firmware mine got corrupt during update
The device doesn't boot up anymore?
In case you bought a used device with an expired subscription, how could you update the data without having the registration information ???
You have to get the registration information. There's no way around it.
Hello, I did a reset for my Autel MX808Ts and after that i can 't See any cars in the list. All is empty. Where can i find a restore file for my Autel MX808TS Please?
Thanks for your feedback
Ouch. You should have made a backup of the Scan folder before doing the reset. Do you have an active license? If so, you just need to download the updates.
Can you do icarsoft cr max bt
Yet to lay my hands on any icarsoft scanner
Well crap... my book said 16g. I have a maxisys ms908 pro-ts. Any one know what the Max size memory card for this is?
Still have the manual? I would expect it to be stated there.
Can I do that with 64gb SD card? I have cca 30gb of updates
When I go to my SD path I don't see scan folder created, can I create that folder or does it have to be automaticly created.
Thanks.
What is the capacity of your tool? 32 or 64gb? Someone recently left a comment that they were able to use I think a 64 or 128gb card for this although Autel mentions 32gb. The Scan folder is usually there on the tool, you don't need to create it. If its the SD card though, it's not necessary to create one.
@@DIYAutoworksNG Otofix D1 64gb from autel
Don't have experience with Otofix though it appears to be an Autel subsidiary. Sticking to best practice i.e., using what is called for in the manual will be my advise.
Hi mate, I'm just checking to see if you would have a copy of the software for the maxidiag elite md802. I have recently updated the unit, and since updating, it has given me extra functions in terms of extra years, but at the same time, i have lost the full functionality of the unit. I was able to view live data, TCM, ECU etc. but since the update is no longer available. I have contacted autel, and they have advised that they dont have the older software and advised to see how if i can get a copy from someone who has one the same. Cheers
Hi sorry to hear this. I don't have the maxidiag elite. Autel is best placed to help you here as they can remotely roll back an update on your device. I think the person that addressed your issue didn't just want to see it through.
@DIYAutoworksNG Thanks for your reply. I have tried a few times, but the person reckons they don't keep older versions of software. Funny thing. I uninstalled all the software yesterday and installed it again, hoping it will be fixed. I did notice the update for my vehicle had a description that it resolved "live communication" with the vehicle. Well, it is definitely not the case as it worked previously. Thanks again
Fingers crossed!
hello sir, is there a difference between the mp808 and mp808TS ?
also do you know if after the one year subscription expires you will still use the functions without re-subscription? am kindly waiting for your response. thanks 😊 and stay blessed
Thanks mate. They have exactly the same functions except that the MP808TS is a full TPMS service tool (ie it can relearn & program TPMS sensors).
The other difference is hardware. The MP808 connects to the car by cable, while the MP808TS can connect by wire or Bluetooth.
Also the functions remain active after expiration of subscription.
@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks 😊 very much your response was very important to me, i just Pay now on aliexpress for mp808 maybe i will receive it on friday or monday based on there shipment 📦
Nice!
@@diallosekoutidiane8240 how much did you get it for?
hello sir y accidentally erased all files and my subscription is expierd cand you pls help me with the 21 gb files?ty maxi pro mp808
Unfortunately, that folder also contains files unique to each device, and as such, I can't share. Why not buy a new subscription?
My scan folder has 26 gb but only 9 gb is being copied to my SD card. Any help??
That's strange. Can you confirm you have a genuine SD card? Also make sure the card is formatted to FAT32. If you haven't already, format the card and try again. I once had that problem.
Also they say if backing up with usb it must be a FAT32 format 32GB Usb stick I tried a 132gb not FAT32 and did not work now purchasing 2nd trying again hope I save someone some time
Thanks for sharing!
Hello
Hope you are able to help resolve the problem I'm having on my Maxisys 908. I've contacted Autel support on 3 occasions and to be honest the were less than helpful. My device suddenly stopped communicating with certain vehicles. I initially assumed it was because of my expired subscription, so i went ahead and paid a whopping $1300 for renewal.
Unfortunately even after installing the updates the device is still behaving the same way. On a few cars it works perfectly, but is unable to communicate on the majority of vehicles. There also seems to be no pattern at all on which vehicles it works. For example it works fine on a Toyota Landcruiser 1VD 200 series and Rav 4 2010, yet is unable to communicate with any Hilux D4D or a Toyota Surf 2010. I've uploaded data logs to Autel support but had no response. I suspect the problem could be the VCI, but would like to be sure before spending another $700
Haven't had this experience before. But since you already have a subscription, maybe a factory reset? You'll loose all updates though, but can get them back. You can also backup the 'scan' folder, so that you can do a restore if you don't like the outcome.
@@DIYAutoworksNG Many thanks - will try that
I have a MaxiPRO MP 808. My subscription just did expire maybe a week ago. When I went to "backup" on a external SD Card, my MP808 does not have a "copy" on the screen. It is not like the great video shows at approximately 2:37 to 2:40. How do I backup my MP808. S/N available if needed. I called the help desk. That gentleman told me I can't back it up, no need to. Thank you.
Were you using ES file Explorer? As a file explorer it can copy any file you can view. Be sure you have selected the scan folder, the option should be available
If you still dont see it. Let me know..
@@DIYAutoworksNG Yes. I have a 32 GB SD card. Anyway of providing screen shots ?
@@DIYAutoworksNG No. I do not see it. *Click on ES File Explorer *Click on Scan folder *Click on local * Click on external SD. 32 GB sd card inserted. *I do not have a "copy" or "paste" anywhere on the screen..
You have to Click and Hold the Scan folder, then the copy will appear
SD card needs to be formated to FAT32. If not you will get the error that I was getting "your system forbids es from writing on external sd"
💯% True
Fiz reset sem backup perdi tudo como faco agora
A única maneira é baixar os arquivos novamente. Isso significa pagar por uma licença se a sua tiver expirado.
I accidentally delete everything off my machine. How can I get it back?
If you didn't have a backup and you're out of subscription, you'll have to renew your subscription.
HI SIR MY FRIEND DELETED MY SCANNER SOFTWARE 908.THEIR ANY WAY I CAN GET BACK MY SOFTWARE I DID ASK AUTLE.THEY WANT TO BUY SOFTWARE BUT I M USED OTHERS TO HAVE UPDATES. EVEN RECYCLE BIN. PLZ IF YOU CAN GIVE ANY HELP I WILL BE VERY THANKS FULL I M DISABLE NOW MONET VERY (H) TO GET.PLZ PLZ ANY THINKCAN HELP
Sadly, in my experience, if you didn't make a backup to restore from, the only way forward is to renew your subscription with Autel. As last resort, you may consider a factory reset to see if it will restore the cars to the state at which you bought the tool. You will loose all the updates ever downloaded. Only proceed if you feel comfortable with this.
Hola necesitaría ayuda para desbloquear un autel mx808 con contraseña ,ya q no puedo d recordar. Hay manera de hacerlo? Gracias

What will happen if i applied a factory reset and then uploaded the data from the sd card again
The tool will be at the exact point to which it was backed up. Updates, and scan history inclusive.
@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks bro, appreciate it
So you're telling me that I still can use my device after factory reset even without having the registration info?
No. If you do a factory reset, it won't give you a licence to start downloading new updates. You are able to use the device now, right? It just that you can't download new updates and you don't have the Autel ID & password?
@@DIYAutoworksNG right exactly, but it has some software issue, it can't locate some vehicles data
If you reset, it will go back to vehicle updates when it was shipped. If you have a backup, you can get the updates that are in the backup.
nice I have one stop not connected
Guess you meant SD card!
From my autel
hi,iwe lost the backup from my autel MaxiPRO MP808TS and i need a backup if you can giwe me pls. I wold pay if can i get it from you. tnx

hello, I don't know why my mp808ts stop copying on 99%, then I got warning, that on sd card is not enough space... 25gb was copied and I have 32gb card... thanks a lot my friend!
What SD card brand are you using? Also is it class 10? Maybe format the card and try again.
@@DIYAutoworksNG format didn't work. I have this card:
SanDisk Extreme 32GB Micro SD V30 microSDHC Memory Card ... Everything was copied (25gb), but then stopped on 99%...
The problem may be in the class of sd card you are using. Have you tried using a different micro sd card? Autel recommends UHS-1 class 10. The one you currently have seems to be UHS-3 class 3. Autel has a video where they specifically recommend a SanDisk that is UHS-1 class 10. I went with the Lexar in this video because I believe its the speed class that really matters not the brand. Let me know how it goes.
@@DIYAutoworksNG The problem was, when I got the tool, I installed all the updates and on the sd card wasn't enough space.... so I deleted some vehicles from folder vehicles.... Now it is working! Thanks a lot for your help!
Great to know!
