Looks like it's working. woop woop. Appears to be about 6600 files to download, does that seem correct? I haven't yet connected to the vehicle or put in the Vin yet, I went straight to the asbuilt and calibration download...

That's about right for a full model coverage, most are only low kB in size, it'll be about 7GB in total.

You need to install the 'helper' before V165
www.landyzone.co.uk

Everything JLR SDD related (feel free to add experiences/help).

Download & unzip 'diagnostic installer helper' from https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/ui/mylinks Edit - For SDD select the link SDD Manual Software Download. This will download the required files needed to your downloads area in your browser ready for you to install...

Yep I installed that and installed just the VCredit thingy at the bottom of the helper first. Then Installed V165 > Patch 1. Opened SDD and used credentials given to login > Closed SDD > Patch 2 > Installed Mongoose Drivers with Cable. Rebooted.

Now downloading the calibration and asbuilt files.

Just so I understand. Why do I need to download these files?

(again, immeasurably appreciative of your help kind person!)
 
Because SDD puts the GWM into programming mode before it loads the modified CCF to do that, it effectively wipes it (less the VIN) and reloads the software including embedding the CCF within the software, you don't need all the files but it's easier just to download the lot rather than doing it one at a time, there may also be other dependent modules that are required to be updated to work with the later GWM software (SDD will always load the latest software applicable to your VIN) It also means that you have all the current software for your car, I wouldn't advise updating 'everything' just because you can, but if there's anything misbehaving, then run SDD in a diagnostic session and if there is software available for the problematic and any dependent modules, there will be a sequenced update routine using the downloaded software.

Thank you, I think I'll have to pretend to understand that... I'll have a go though...

So when you edit the the CCF, it wipes the current software/config off and when you make the changes you want to the CCF in SDD, it makes them in the latest most up to date version of software that has been downloaded and uploads that back to the module, rather than simply downloading the one off the module (which could be older version of the software/config), editing it and then sending it back altered?

Is that about right?
 
Pretty much yes, except the CCF edit is 'offline' and held in SDD as a vbf file the module isn't 'wiped' until you use SDD to update the software or CCF, it's common across many manufacturers to put the module into a bootload / recovery state (much like rooting an android phone), the module operating software is compiled by SDD together with the CCF, then loaded to the module. The internal routines then propagate the CCF to the backup location on ignition cycle.
 
What a faff, just to keep this thread updated.

I installed 165 in a VM in an already win10 laptop and it was all going fine, it got half way through downloading the asbuilt files anddddd ran outside of space haha.

I’ve now fitted a larger ssd to the laptop and installing win10 pro as I type this….

Watch this space
 
Well, my laptop fell off the sofa and broke the motherboard. Now I have fitted a replacement one, reinstalled vanilla windows 10, got it all up and running. Fantastic.

SDD V165....BUT I cannot seem to get a seed key to work.

I believe the bar at the bottom needs to turn orange but I have tried the vehcom site that just now gives an error and I have downloaded a free to use one from github but that is from 2022 and although gives me a password, the bar at the bottom doesn't turn orange and most stuff is greyed out in the ccf editor.

Any ideas or help where I can get a generator that actually works?

The command line one works IF you read the instructions and format the query correctly.

Command line one? From github?

I've just bought one from ebay that requires you to make an account, then the person activates your account from their end and it then lets you log in! I'm in engineering mode finally.
