Hey everyone,
Looking for advice on flashing a GKE233 EGS module that’s stuck in bootloader mode (Bootstufeupdate: ACTIVATED) on my 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i (8HP, N55).
I’m using WinKFP + ICOM + SP-Daten v71, and I’m getting IFH-0009 since the module won’t respond normally. I’ve identified some ZB numbers like 7643125 and 8609556 but I’m not sure which .0da file matches and whether I need to use Expert Mode or another trick to force the flash.
Anyone have tips or proven steps for flashing a bricked GKE233 EGS in this state?
Would appreciate any insight — especially success stories.
Thanks!
