If all three pass, congratulations. Your "old" clone is now a "new" 2.70 machine.

✅ All K-line / CAN protocols tested so far work

KTAG Clone Successfully Updated: 2.25 → 2.70 – What You Need to Know

Now the real work. The clone has an internal STM32 or ATmega chip holding the firmware. We will replace the v2.25 firmware with a patched v2.70. If all three pass, congratulations

Click "Update Firmware".

Wait for the message: "Firmware updated successfully. Reboot interface."

Troubleshooting Phase C:

Worth it if you need newer ECU coverage. If 2.25 does everything you need, stay there. For me, moving to 2.70 unlocked several diesel ECUs I couldn’t touch before.

Let me know if you’ve done the same update or if you ran into different issues. Happy to help troubleshoot.
