DME dead after trying to downgrade, any idea how to reflash this?
Hello all,

I was recently downgrading my DME of Z4 M40i 2021 with SDP 4.15.12. Actual I-Step was 2022-03-552, and Target I-Step was 2018-07-540.

At that time, I didn't know that DME differes from my car and 2018 built cars. 

When I do Read SVT from ECU with E-Sys 3.40, I see two btlds existing at the same time in DME_BAC2, no swfl nor swfk, no cafd, and one UNKN.

I tried flashing with original I-Step I had, and had no luck. My car now refuses flashing swfl & cafd.

Does anyone have similar problems with me?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

unfortunately service workers took my key sad
they said they will take my car soon to their service center

now it seems i have no way to recover it, as the car refuses to flash without the key...

I think it's recoverable, the exact same thing happened with BDC Body, can be done with esys

Did you also had two btlds at the same ECU?

It is recoverable , but for future reference take car making a target istep lower than The ex factory one.they won’t take into account any physical part differences and you can end up bricked it permanently

I also tried that before, but still nope. Tried ISTA+ 4.31.4's "programming recovery", but it also failed.
