I have tried 6 different am29bl802cb chips with my gq4x4 rev 1.0 all of them id fine and can be erased and written but after writing the verify fails every single time at 12.5%. if I do a bunch of reads save them and open in HxD hex editor every single file has countless differences. Please help I have tried everything. im very sure the chips are making good contact and are good as i have installed them back into the gm e40 engine computer and it works fine.

I noticed on my adp-087 adaptor the top section is a adp-103 is this correct, all the online pictures seem to say adp-087 on the top adaptor?

Thank you but that is zero help, I have already read that exact page before even thinking of posting here. That is not the issue. It has be something wrong with the programmer or the adapter. I have been messing with this for 2 days and tried everything I can think of. I also ordered a tl866 to see if it works with these chips.

Oops that last post was a accident. I explained something working in my first post. I only installed the chip I was trying to copy back into the engine computer and it still worked. The others that i tried to write did not. Sorry i made it sound like they worked but just didn't verify in my first post.

I was finally able to get valid reads that are identical each time and verify 100% by changing the devices.txt to this

Name="AM29BL802CB",ID="0181",Class="AM29BL802",Category="FLASH",MFG="AMD",Speed="5",WVPP="12V",RVpp="5V",Adapter="ADP-087",RVPP="5V",VCC="3.6V";

with it this way it will not id correctly but it does do a valid read each time.

To erase the chip and write it I needed to change VCC="3.6V" back to VCC="5V" after writing the verify fails. but once i change it back to VCC="3.6V" and read the chip then verify works. Any idea how to format it so i don't need to change it every time?

I figured it out this setup works perfect, might want to fix the supplied one.
