Clone Ford VCM2 (VCM II) IDS Recovery Procedure
Hello guys i am here to share my recovery experience with VMCII,
I recently had an issue with a Mazda III 1.6HDI 2006 the ECU has lost it's parameters of PATS System, so i decided to buy a VCMII (SP177-G) and installed the IDS Mazda V92.04 in a VmWare in order to repair the car.
So i have received my VCM2 and though everything will be okay when i will connect to the car.
So i go to the car, connect the VCI it looks starting ok, Windows finds the correct drivers but VCI Manager for Ford-VCM don't see the VCM 2.
I thought there is a little bug with my installation so i install IDS V91 on Windows 7 and then try to detect VCMII. Same problem, i don't see the VCM in the Manager.
Then i decided to download the latest Bosch drivers for VCMII. First time launch Bosch says i need to update the VCM. Ok i start the Update after about 5 minuts it stucks at FPGA update problem.
I don't care restart the VCM Red/Green and beeps every 1 second. I stopped there and decided to Restore the VCM to a V84 Version After multiple downgrade triyng on different Versions of IDS (Always in recovery mode).
It doesn't work on any version from V81 Up to V92.
I don't care so i decided to open it to see if it's just a bad solder on a small compenent as always.
So i opened it resoldered resistors, capacitors, masses, With air Heating Rework machine heated the Cpu, FPU, FPGA, Ram every connector and it's always Stuck on Update. (FPGA Update fails and 10%).
Then i looked carefully and so That :

EPCS4N-9013x FPGA Altera Is almost dead so it's normal when i try to flash it on recovery it can't recover.
Now i have to find an EPCS4N-9013x FPGA Altera to repair mine.
It is my first time VCMII install and it never worked actually since i have received it 3 days ago.
So if you can't recover yours try to check what's going on inside.
I hope it can helps some other people who are stuck with the same problem.
