A FRM Repair message appears on the Microtronik Hexprog screen
“This function is used to repair corrupted FRM EEPROM data. It will try to recover the original data from D-Flash, if it failed please contact Microtronik for help”
Click on “Repair” of the prompt to fix the corrupted files
Note: in this step, Hextag read D-Flash and convert it to EEPROM on the background
