For reading and writing the memory (flash) chips on the ECU you have to use specialized tools.
Luckily there are a variety of flashtools available for free these days. All of the following programs will work for MS42 & MS43 ECUs.
The bootloader area containing EWS key, UIF, etc can ONLY be overwritten in bootmode, regardless of which software used.
Credits of all Chipster software belongs to Kim Freding. Rest in Peace.
MS4X Dev Group Flasher
- On-the-fly checksum correction before flashing
- Checksum correction for local files
- EWS3 sync and reset
- Adaptions reset
- DTC read and clear
- DS2 command sender
- 64 KByte read/write (~20 seconds)
- 512 KByte read/write (~120 seconds)
- To generate a computer specific key file, head over to https://activation.ms4x.net
- Archive Password: ms4x
- Download MS4X Dev Group Flasher v1.1.3
JMGarage Flasher
- Use this only for virginizing, cloning or backing up the ECU
- Bootmode required (open the ECU and ground boot pin)
- No automatic checksum correction
- Only 512 KByte read/write (with seed keys, ISN, etc.)
- In order to have a successful connection with the DME every time, set the latency time for the Com Port to 16ms.
- If you flash a file with a bad checksum and the program keeps on throwing an error no answer from ecu, cycle power to the DME, connect with JM flasher, and read first. After the read finishes, then open whatever file you want to flash (with corrected checksums) and it will now work.
- Download 2017 version
Chipster MSS5x Flasher
- On-the-fly checksum correction before flashing standard files
- Checksum correction is broken when altering program code so it's incompatible with the community patchlist
- 64 KByte read/write
- 512 KByte read/write
- To generate your own licence code, head over to https://www.ms4x.net/licence/
- Download Chipster MSS5x Flasher v1.1.2.3
MS41 ECU Flasher and EWS Delete
Chipster MS42 Checksum Corrector
- Corrects all three checksums inside your MS42 files
- Download Chipster MS42 Checksum Corrector

Chipster MS43 Checksum Corrector
- Corrects all five checksums inside your MS43 files
- Do not use when editing _mon variables or program code
- Download Chipster MS43 Checksum Corrector
File:MS43 Checksum Corrector.png
Galletto 1260
- No checksum correction
- Only 64 KByte read/write
- No download due to legal reasons
