Concerns vehicles from

Abarth Alfa Romeo Fiat

Checksum is invalid. error code : 0x00000001

Method: Bench

Issue: The user is warned that the file data integrity check (checksum) has failed or the ECU cannot recognize the file structure.

Solution
  • In most cases involving BOSCH MEDC17/ME17 ECUs, you can safely ignore this warning and proceed with programming.
  • If the programming fails with the same error, do not attempt further writes.
  • Contact our technical support with the original and modified files for a manual fix.
To understand more

A checksum is a mathematical value used to verify that the data inside the ECU has not been corrupted. This error typically surfaces when a file was previously modified by a different flashing tool that did not correctly update all hidden checksum layers. bFlash detects this discrepancy to prevent potential bricking, but the software is often capable of correcting it during the write process.

7F-31-72

Method: Bench / Recovery: Bench

Issue: The tool is unable to establish a secure connection because the ECU security password does not match the factory defaults.

Solution
  • Standard programming is blocked because the TPROT (Tuning Protection) password has been altered.
  • Locate the original backup file for this specific vehicle if available.
  • Contact our technical support to request a manual password extraction from your backup data.
To understand more

The TC1724 processor uses a unique password to allow access to its memory via Bench mode. If another tuner has changed this password, standard access protocols will return the 7F-31-72 error. Access can only be restored if the unique key can be recovered from a previous full-read backup.
