MiniPRO TL866A/CS Firmware v6.8x to v6.7x

[@iancrowe8384]

Thanks for this, a very simple fix. I thought I'd borked my TL866A when I installed V6.85 software. Took it back to the V6.60 that I was using previously. Will probably upgrade to V6.71 at some stage. At least I can get on with what I wanted to do. Again many thanks.

[@franlp32]

Thanks! I was having the same problem downgrade to 6.71 solved this issue.

[@andymok7945]

Thanks very much. I updated mine a few days ago and got the not genuine error and did not think much of it. Was doing a search on the item again and saw this. Will be doing this shortly.

[@TorxEight]

Если проблема возникла сразу после обновления, то откат на прежнюю версию прошивки, как в моем видео, должен помочь. Удачи.

[@acostaernesto]

Thank you so much, you just saved my old programmer!!!

[@wrongway2001]

I have a genuine TL866A that I bought a while ago but not used for a long time. I downloaded the latest version of the software which prompted me to flash the programmer to the latest firmware. I then started to get the warnings as shown in the video, despite being a genuine product. It seems it's their excuse to try and force me into buying the latest TL866ll version, which I didn't want to do anyway as I believe the TL966ll can't provide the VPP 21volts required for some eproms. Luckily I was able to downgrade to v6.71 using this video. It worked very well and was easy to do. As long as your happy soldering onto the ends of a couple of small SMD components.

[@alexwierzbowsky]

Thanks, man! Downgraded successfully. Never use 6.85 version of the software unless you have the new XDecu version of TL866!

[@FXGreggan.]

Thank you, this was driving me nuts!

[@Cracked1ce]

Thank you for doing the lords work!

[@sdimon220]

Столкнулся с этой проблемой в первый день пользования. Но прошивку вернул на 6.71 тем же способом что на видео.

[@mollahpavel]

Many many Thanks Sir

[@TheFernandoveio]

Hi, I'm from Brazil, this error occurs in programmers converted from tl866cs to A ?? thankful!!

[@TorxEight]

Hello! Not only. The error occurs on all MiniPRO models, even with native firmware.

[@kanopola]

Thanks :)))))

[@EGGEGGli-iu8bc]

Thank you soo much 🙏

I have a problem with writing to M27C1001 memory. With reading i have no problem but after UV erasing i can't flash firmware to this memory. I tried all versions 6.50, 6.70, 6.71 all those versions can't write something to my M27C1001 memory.

[@cristianusigas2435]

good morning I have the same problem with my mini pro, but my motherboard is not the same as the one you show in the video. however the capacitor C7 and the resistor 17 are but in other positions. Can they still be welded there to do this procedure?

[@rockautooficial]

💯

[@ZaPpaul]

Thanks for this, it still seems that the latest firmware makes the programmer read garbage.

I have an original TL866CS running V03.2.86, but while the windows software (v6.17, 6.50, 6.85 ) sees the hardware, it complains that it's too old. I think the manufacturer is forcing previous owners to buy the new TL866II hardware, even though the TL866CS still works fine. If my hardware cannot be used without reflashing, what firmware/software do you recommend? I saw a open-source project DavidGriffith/minipro/ , but requires linux (and custom firmware??) Can the MiniPro.exe be examined/reversed-engineered to allow it to run the software? I just need to program am29lv160dt , AMD29F004BT and SST39SF040, devices. * Firmware Official Release Firmware * Version Program Date Version * String Version I D * * 3.2.86 6.85 Oct 19, 2018 0x0256 * 3.2.85 6.82 Jul 14, 2018 0x0255 * 3.2.82 6.71 Apr 17, 2018 0x0252 * 3.2.81 6.70 Mar 7, 2018 0x0251 * 3.2.80 6.60 May 9, 2017 0x0250 * 3.2.72 6.50 Dec 25,2015 0x0248 * 3.2.69 6.17 Jul 11, 2015 0x0245 * 3.2.68 6.16 Jun 12,2015 0x0244 * 3.2.66 6.13 Jun 9, 2015 0x0242 * 3.2.63 6.10 Jul 16, 2014 0x023f * 3.2.62 6.00 Jan 7, 2014 0x023e * 3.2.61 5.91 Mar 9, 2013 0x023d * 3.2.60 5.90 Mar 4, 2013 0x023c * 3.2.59 5.80 Nov 1, 2012 0x023b * 3.2.58 5.71 Aug 31,2012 0x023a * 3.2.57 5.70 Aug 27,2012 0x0239 * 3.2.56 5.60 Jun 12,2012 0x0238 * 3.2.51 4.95 Mar 31,2012 0x0233 * 1.00 Jun 18, 2010

[@AnilKumar-lt4uk]

Sir i have tried to upgrade but unfortunately some mistake done by me and my programmer not detected can my tl866 detectable after this method

[@fleonard4]

So, I guess the 6.8 version is made to brick the programmer and makes you buy a new one. I rolled back to 6.71, and it works fine.

[@jakerahemad9959]

Sir in my Programmer showing hidden reflash option Please give me the solution

[@mazharali5819]

Connect Pin No:36 (R26) through 470R resistor to 3.3V (C7 or out pin of the 3.3v regulator) to enable the flash....

[@TzOk]

I have TL866A and MiniPro v6.85, and didn't see any problems. Are there any chips particularly troublesome with this version? Or this is only a problem of cloned devices?

[@securityonline8758]

Both clone version an original version

[@jazzpubgyt6873]

I tried but after erasing i got massage error

[@maemielilila4615]

thx but with pic i have no solved the problem...... i tested 6.7 and 6.71 .....

[@husseinnejah5337]

UNFORTUNATELY, it did not work with me

[@dmgelectronic7021]

I installed vision 10.35. but after this Software Update AT89C2051 IC i can't programm. hence tell me what i should do to correct this matter quickly.

[@JTF_Productions]

Connect a new pc download and the programm rund a firmware update

[@armandoibarra3958]

[@النجيبللإلكترونيك]

THANK....... BUT I NEVER GET THIS PROBLEM WITH MY TL866A I'M AT 6.85 VERSION KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS DEVICE IS VERY SLOW WITH LARGE CHIPS LIKE 32 OR 64

[@MyCabreira]

muy buenas tendra como hacer que no haga mais el reflesch porque jõ tengo 1 model A e uno model cs quando agarram el model cs e enchufam nel software del model A no funciona e le hacem el reflesch [me trai logo ] muy grato :

[@TonyT76]

Hi do you have the link to 6.71? Only 6.70 is in the link.

[@TorxEight]

Check the link again. I have added the correct version for you.

[@TonyT76]

@@TorxEight thanks! Does it matter what watt resistor we use? I see 1/4, 1/2, 1W on Amazon.

Pickit3 and reflash the Eeprom TL866A. Then use TL866.exe to generate the firmware hex file for any version ... I'am using the 6.85 version now and it's good for me !

If do You would a video , then I will make for You , so let me know ! Anyway many thanks for all you made for us and me, I have appreciated very much this video and your knowns !!!

[@vasilegrigore2069]

Hi Biagio, do you have done a Video about your procedure? ... i have a >TL866II PLUS that is starting not recognizing chips before readeing them (auto detetction is working) .. and i think the issue is last firmware update ( 04.02.129 )

[@Back2Pal]

It doesn't work.
