Can't use Flashlro after Honda recall

[GiggleFactory]

So I brought my car in for the 18-137 software update and ac control unit recall on my 16 Civic touring. I just recieved my hondata Flashlro but I can't install a tune cause the Honda software on the cars ECU is more current than Hondatas software. Does anyone know if I can roll back my ECU to the stock software? Or am I SOL until Hondata updates their software/tune to be compatable?

I haven't contacted Hondata yet as I found this out late last night and am now at work. Will shoot them an email later but I was hoping someone here might know a trick.

This was exactly my concern about this TSB. Anything involving an ECU or Software change was almost guaranteed to stop Hondata or KTuner from working. You may have to wait for an update from Hondata. I'd reach out to them ASAP to get this ball rolling and work with them to get it working again.

Yeah that was my thinking too. Just bought the car before Christmas and didn't cross my mind to hold off on the update after I bought the flashpro.
I'll contact hondata on Monday to see what they have to say.

I have a Ktuner now but the same concern. I think those of us with tunes need to hold off on the recall until Hondata and KTuner get this sorted out. I kind of imagine the pro tuners are scrambling to figure this mess out.

Just got my car with the recall this mornjng. Tune was erased, and went to the shop i had flash it, and they can’t get into the ecu now. Was on the phone with hondata for over an hour trying to figure it out. Seems like hondata May need to come up with an update for their tune as of now

Were Hondata surprised about this situation when you called them yesterday?

They should've known about this to be honest. It was asked weeks ago when this TSB started rolling out.

So you're saying that you flash it back to stock before going to the dealership and had this problem with the ecu. What did you find out?

Unfortunately I've been wicked busy for the last few weeks and haven't had the time to reach out to them about this. Idk if anyone else has.

On second thought I made a quick forum post over on the Hondata forums. If that yeilds no solid answers I'll try and take some time out next week to get this sorted.
