Problem:
I received my Xhorse Multi prog and today i installed it to my PC. But I can not update the firmware of the device from 1.36 to 1.45.
It says “Jump Recovery error: Error code 41330004 Fails to communicate with the SC chip.” Any solution?
Solution:
Press and hold the Reset button on the main unit before powering on, and hold it for 5 seconds after powering on. Try to force firmware upgrade.

Tried to program Citroen C3 Keyless smart key using Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus but it failed me. It said error code 200. How to fix it?
Solution:
If error code 200 occurs, it means there is a problem with the device, and it needs to be returned for repair.
A client presented a Škoda Octavia A7 (MQB platform) with a critical issue: after swapping in a gearbox from an identical donor car, the vehicle would not drive. While the transmission seemed to mechanically shift gears and the selector display worked, the car remained stationary. Diagnostic scans revealed a critical fault: “Transmission Locked.” This pointed directly to a mismatch between the vehicle and the new mechatronic unit—the brain of the DSG gearbox. The solution was to clone the data from the original, non-functional mechatronic into the donor unit.
The first attempt used a high-end programmer (“PCMFlash”). Despite correct power (13.7V) and wiring, the tool repeatedly failed to identify the module or establish proper communication. The module would not even return its identification data. Then we switch to a secondary tool—an Xhorse Multi Prog programmer.
The Multiprog successfully connected to the gearbox. The cloning process involves reading three critical memory areas:
All files were saved for comparison and as a restore point before any writing.
\Writing and Successful Cloning
The EEPROM data was written first.
The full Flash memory was then cloned onto the unit.
The process completed successfully without requiring a separate adaptation procedure (like ODIS online).
The Škoda drove normally, with the DSG gearbox shifting smoothly and correctly. The cloned mechatronic was fully accepted by the vehicle, resolving the “Transmission Locked” fault.
Key Takeaways:
Persistence with Tools: If one high-end tool fails, try another. Communication protocols and compatibility can vary unexpectedly.
Verification is Crucial: Always read and back up data multiple times if possible, and compare files from different tools to ensure data integrity before writing.
Connection is Everything: A seemingly minor connection issue (a loose connector) can completely halt communication with a sensitive module.
Modern MQB Units are Cloneable: Despite initial communication hurdles, the DQ250 MQB mechatronic can be successfully cloned on the bench and in the vehicle using appropriate tools and procedures, saving the cost of a brand-new unit and online programming.
What are the differences between Xhorse VVDI Wireless Remote and Super Remote? Understanding their differences is essential for choosing the correct tool for automotive key replacement and programming.
In this guide, we break down the key distinctions and provide a clear comparison table for easy reference.
Quick Overview
Wireless Remote corresponds to the XN series.
Super Remote corresponds to the XE series.
Both VVDI Remotes have an inductor on the back and require a battery to be installed when they are generated (programmed).
Technical Difference
One of the main hardware differences is:
Super Remote has 2 triodes (transistors), while Wireless Remote does not.
Compatibility Breakdown
Important: Honda 46 and 47 must be generated with a Wireless Remote.
