Problems with bootmod3

Hey guys so i'm having a problem with bootmod3. I start to flash it (with seatbelt plugged in, lights off, A/C off) and I go to flash and it downloads the tune but then skips directly to clearing primary and secondary codes then gets this failed notice. It flashed perfectly fine yesterday but all of a sudden it started doing this. How do I fix this? All help will be appreciated as I'm really trying to figure this out!!

I don't have BM3, but what year is your car? Is this your first time flashing it? Some cars, 2019 or newer, require a bench unlock before flashing.

It's a 2016 M235i and it's been flashing completely fine for the past 2 weeks then all of a sudden this happened

Garage List
Be more specific:

iOS? Android? windows? mac?
using phone with direct enet to obd connection?
using wifi agent?

make sure app is up to date. Make sure obd2 port is connected. sometimes i have to unplug it and replug it into the obd2 port.

when i first got bm3 i used windows to obd2. nowadays i just do it direct from my iphone to enet to obd2. no wifi agent to get in the way. reflashed a few weeks ago and it took 2 minutes. i always make sure i have the latest version of bm3 downloaded.

Have you tried first downloading the tune to your device and then flashing it?

I am having the same issue after multiple flashes It just started appearing this error. And yes I download first and then flash.

I have attempted every single test that I can thinck or had read searching.

Opened a ticket after an hour with one of the bootmod service reps we were unable to fix the issue. I am frustrated. 😔

Follow the instructions and if it still does not fix it, create a ticket with PTF

Sorry for no update, I've decided not to flash the car until I get my Wavetrac diff installed. I will still report good or bad when I do it.

Anybody know a good rear diff pumpkin installer in Maryland? I'm hearing goods things about Induktion Motorsports. http://4induktion.com/
