Just got an email from Matt at Hondata saying they should have a fix in a software release by end of the week.

Thanks Matt.

So I have to install the new 4.7.7 FP manager update, hook up the flashpro unit and FP manager will ask to update the flashpro to the latest firmware?

Do you mind checking what is the latest flaspro firmware version# that worked. Much appreciated.

Thank you.

4.7.7
Thank you.
No problem. My update was a bit weird the flash pro firmware update would get ¾ done then the progress indicator would close. Waited a few minutes then unplugged it from the usb port on my laptop. Then tried again and same deal - note when I'd reconnect the flashpro I'd get the your flashpro firmware will be updated to the latest version popup each time. Ended up closing the app again and re-installing 4.7.7 as admin with the flashpro connected and the flashpro firmware updated to 4.7.7 like it should have.

Thank you for the details. Did you uninstall 4.7.6 FB manager before installing 4.7.7 as admin?

I think I might do that to minimize the possible conflicts.

I tried to update the software to 4.7.7 but it says 4.7.6 is the latest update. Is there something i have to do to get the 4.7.7 update?

https://hondata.com/updates/FlashProMan ... 7-Full.exe

It was not a general release; you should have received an email from support. In any case the above link will work and the folks having issues with the instant jailbreak on the OG FlashPro have successfully completed the intake jailbreak now.

Update: I am able to successfully jaibreak the car now.

I am trying to select my mods on the tune. There is NO exhaust option to choose.

In older videos, there was a drop down for exhaust.

Please advise.

Thank you

Sorry, I meant no option for "exhaust". Not exhaust.

Forum won't allow me to type d-o-w-n-p-i-p-e. It changes the word to exhaust automatically.

Same for me, (could be a bug?) might try to install the previous version and 4.7.7 over it see if the option is present again.
