Hi! New MS41 tuner here, looking for some guidance or "hey, you've done something obviously wrong" here if anyone is willing :)

Some background:
Car: 1997 328is 5mt
Cable: Bimmergeeks KDCAN
20 pin: Msportparts adapter for write mode and OBD2 port in car use: https://www.msportparts.com/products/ms ... l2hIBUY8kW

I was able to successfully read a partial and full tune from the ECU using the quickflash tool. After making a small change to the partial and trying to upload the tune, I see an error:
"Error preparing ECU. Please try resetting ECU for 10 seconds"

This seems like it would be an issue with the ECU not being in write mode, but I am not sure. Has anyone seen something like this before?

Thanks in advance!

This was solved by multiple retries of flashing the partial when running the application as admin, and cycling the ignition a few times over.
