I’ve seen another video on how to do this and it indicated the the operating system (xdf) should match the PCM OS number. If they are not the same, you may see some of your tables not populated properly. You may want to take another look at that bin in TunePro.
Another easy way to figure stuff out is use hpt open a cammed tune file and put everything in respective formats(grams kpa etc) transfer to tuner pro and have a tune 95% of the way there it's nice having the free tuning capabilities but it's going to take a while to get a repository going
how's it going I love the channel I'm very very computer illiterate but I almost understand what your video explains I'm about to try it but I'm still a little confused. great video I've watched it 100 times
I have a locked ecm(due to a box performance tuner glitch) for a 99-02 Silverado with the correct vin# and up to date GM reflash specs. I now have a used ecm from a different truck (99-02) in my truck which got the truck running again. Could any of this process ,or in your other vids, allow me to transfer all the correct info(vin#/tuning specs) from the locked ecm into the used replacement ecm?
i finally was able to tune my pcm, supposedly successfully. All i needed was vats removed and fans turned on but was a process. First i tried LS droid and it wouldnt register to either phone i tried and the creator got pissy with me n acted like im an idiot. So instead I used PcmHammer to easily read entire pcm 1st time and save as stock bin. then used tunerpro with my 1221256 OS to change vats and turn on/off temps for fans BUT when i went to save this file it gave me a checksum error Then i had to search around for the checksum creator for the checksum DLL, he gave me one but that didnt seem to work either. Next i even tried the Legacy version of LS droid on my new Android kingpad k10 It wouldnt work either Next i even tried the rt version of tunerpro and even it gave me the checksum error. Finally the checksum error creator gave me his tuning software which automatically corrects the checksums. it worked instantly. After all this 2 week long ordeal that seemed too easy, so i waited till i found a 2nd pcm in case i bricked it. Then i found one for cheap too, so i tried using pcmhammer to write the original pcm with my original modded bin files and sure enough pcmhammer said file is corrupt , it will brick your pcm So then i tried the checksum fixed bin and voila it wrote first try. Only took an entire month to tune from first time i read the pcm till today. We shall see tomorow morning when its not 36 Celcius out if this new tune will not only run but turn on/off my electric fans. FINGERS CROSSED.
If i have a bin saved from the last time i made changes to my pcm would i need to read the pcm again, or can i use the last bin to make changes and write it to the pcm
hey dude i cant get Ls droid to work on either android phones i have. one isnt hooked up to a cell subscription but can download via wifi, it downloads lsdroid but gets stuck trying to register. , the other isnt a typical android and cant download from playstore, downloaded via browser and it installed and opened but again wouldnt register; saying bad argument error whatever that means? is there other ways with OBD2 Lx dongle to do this?
Man i'v tried for nearly a month to get registered so I could download the xdf I need could you help me out. Iv got a 99 5.3 with 4l60e I'm trying to start in my blazer and I'm just not getting anywhere. I got my pcm copied with ls Droid just need the xdf.
So I read my BIN and transferred it to my PC but I can't seem to find an XDF for BIN 12579405. I had read that the 2004 XDF/BIN 12587603 is a generic one that's compatible with almost all P59. When I try to flash my ECU with LS Droid it says that it isn't compatible with my ECU. Do you know of any BIN/XDF that is compatible? Sorry for the bothersome question since I'm still new to this.
I checked my spare ECU to see if I could use that one but it's OS is 12593058 and after some digging both of my ECU's are Intel only units which didn't allow either of them to be flashed with 12587603. Any help would be appreciated.
@@frankvaldez8873 Frank, I am 100% learning, but how I understand it is: You download an OS and a XDF that is compatible with your ecu. You flash both, and then you can read it back and work out the files.
What version of LS droid do you have? I am able to read the PCM but I cannot write onto the PCM because I don’t have the version that allows me to write.
Can you give us the link to the XPD file that you used from GEARHEAD to populate the TUNER PRO? I'm not clear on which one to use and the SERV # 12589462 so that I can use drive by cable instead of the DBW because I am using a 200 4R. And I have no idea what Im doing! But like everyone else I would like to try and give it a shot.
Hey this is YourBoyEric again. Today Gearhead approved my account which I was very happy to receive. The problem I’m having is the forum you recommended Mikes pcm.bin is no longer in there unless I’m searching for the wrong name. If his thread is gone can you recommend another thread I can download the XDF file from. Thank you very much. YourBoyEric from So.Cali.
Thanks brother you totally simplified the hell out of this. I want to see a video of the pcm in the vehicle working.
I sub. No bs low budget advise! Keep up the real work man!
I downloaded ls droid on two different androids and obd lx will not connect for more than 2 seconds any suggestions

what model of vehicle is it?
Great vid seen it a bunch of times trying to figure out mine, one question is the original os the one that ends in ***56
What can i use for a p04 2004 pontiac grand am? i tried pcm hammer and got my os id but it wouldnt write the bin. HELP!
how come i cant find xdf files like you did i am registered with gearhead efi but my pages dont look the same keep in mind im very computer illiteret
If i have a bin saved from the last time i made changes to my pcm would i need to read the pcm again, or can i use the last bin to make changes and write it to the pcm

I just did my 05 ecm. I think it worked. Find out soon. Fingers crossed

LS droid beta version 2.0
BeeterOlds Do you have a download link?
did you try this ecm out to see if it worked? have the oblink on the way to finish c4 ls swap
Yes it works
BeeterOlds thank you so much for making this man!
Yeah buddy! 👍

Any file that is listed as a 512kb ECM will work for what youre doing.
Ok thanks
Good job 50 bucks is worth it
Pretty cool.
Nice I've used tuner pro for years for tpi. Waiting for my obd lx lol
Great info. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a cheap way to get started. Doesn't it cost $75 to just get the Vats deleted by some tuners?
Pretty mucg
@@beeterolds Sorry I don't know what "mucg" means. Probably a good acronym?
@@ezelk1337 he meant to say much lol
excellent,can't wait to dick around with my 2003 Tahoe :)
My advice to you is make sure you have another ECM handy. Just in case.
You might want check The Drivway Engineer site.
Ive Subbed to him
What about that what is there??
Cloning takes about 30 minutes
What if you just have a laptop woth bluetooth lol
Hmmm not sure.
You can download an android emulator, it operates android over PC op.
Anyone know if there is an app for iPhone like this?

What app is this
Does anyone even watch the videos or read descriptions??? Good lord
App
This seems like a pretty simple process. For $50 and a little bit of time to build the harness I'll try it out with a spare ECU that I have.
