Got it done on both cars in the end, strange one. The first car i did calculated the tal as normal using 3.30 after swt by ecu and then used ist, soll and tall files in 3.27 and to flash and it went through! Thought it would be easy for the second car, it wasnt. I ended up using the soll calc from the first car and combining it with the ist from the second car, calc the tal and used 3.40 to program the module. It failed at the last swf so had to manipulate the files again and reflash and then it went through. So, i think the version of esys didnt matter in my case. For some reason the calculated soll was giving an error in the expected sgib between the ist and the actual.
luckily for me both cars are f10 made within 3 months of aech other and the sw and hw of the tv module was the same.
advice is really spend a lot of time really trying to understand what the processes and buttons do and the you can manipulate the files, trim them so you are only dealing with relevant modules and keep going till it works.
changing the istep as some have advised did nothing to remedy the errors in my case (expected sgid not matching).
To be clear i have flashed a japanese tv module to receive uk TV channels and work in the uk, which is probably not normal.

Hi bro,
Sorry for the late reply. I was collecting all the programs. I have read the link and it's document, have sys, pdszsdata full. What is next? Can I contact you somewhere? I want to flash the video module (and if it's possible ,the touchbox as well).

You need to save the FA of the original car to a file name like FA_F32_orig . Then change the FA from 807 to 812 and 852 to 853 ( these were my changes, Jap to english lang and region from japan to great britain, yours may be different, ie french) and save this fa as something like FA_F32_new .
then go to tal calculating and calculate a tal for your car, You have read everything so you know how to do this!
the important bit is: When calculating the tal, load/use the NEW fa. this will pick the EU files. Save the ist, soll and tal files.
then go to tal processing, this is the important bit: Load the original FA. (or click read FA if you havent modified your FA in the car) load the soll load the tal. Only check TV module, blFlash, swDeploy, cdDeploy.
it should flash the tv module.
I had tremendous difficulties flashing these modules for a long time and the thing that works is when you flash the car the FA needs to be the original unmodified FA. You use a modified FA to calculate the TAL.
good luck

I don't have the original unmofied FA anymore (changed the languages jap to english a few months back). Or do you mean unmodified FA before we start the flashing the module? What do you exactly mean with unmodified FA?
