FOR THE FIRST LAUNCH:
1. Download the key driver from the link:
https://gendump.ru/upd/GrdDrivers.7z
2. Install the key driver, and only then insert the key into the USB port.
3. We make sure with the seller that all purchased modules are activated and then download and unpack the archive with the installer
https://gendump.ru/upd/GendumpsSetup.7z and run SetupGendump.exe, then specify the installation folder, the further installation process is performed automatically.
After that, a shortcut should appear on the desktop.
ACTIVATION OF MODULES:
If you received a key from an online store and the modules are not activated on it, you need to contact this store (where you bought it) for the initial activation,
since I activate modules only if this store sends me a request for activation for this key (it is an intermediate owner).
In case of direct purchase from me, the key has already passed the initial activation upon sending.
For further activations of modules, you can contact either the store or me directly,
ultimately, only I can activate the modules anyway and the store will forward your requests to me, therefore it is faster and easier to contact directly.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
1. Recommended operating system: Windows 10, Windows 11
2. Microsoft Access Database Engine must be installed, usually included with Microsoft Office.
You can get it from here:
https://gendump.ru/upd/AccessDatabaseEngine.exe
3. Starting with program version 7.0.0, the computer you are using must have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 or higher installed.

4. If you have Windows 11 and are getting a blue screen of death when installing the Guardant dongle driver, here's a solution:

5. If the error "Unable to create secure SSL/TLS channel" occurs during installation, you should check and correct the incorrect date/time on your computer, ensure your firewall and proxy server settings are correct, and update your operating system to support modern TLS 1.2 and higher protocols.
For Windows 7 SP1, if necessary, you can try changing the value in the registry by running the file:
Win7 TLS 1.2 enable.reg
UPDATES
Before starting work, it is recommended to update to the latest version. Not only are new blocks added there, but those that were already in the list are also corrected.
When updating in normal mode, it is enough to press only the "update" button and wait for the installation and launch of the latest version of the program. If something goes wrong, I recommend deleting the old folders with the program, re-downloading the installer, running it and specifying the folder for installing the application (not the one in which the installer itself is located, but where the program is planned to be located)
Starting with version 8.0.0.20, the program itself monitors updates and updates itself with one button, if there is Internet access and a new version on the server, an update button will appear in the main form.
The installer weighs about 7MB, with a typical installation it takes about a minute and about 60MB is downloaded, everything should be done automatically, all you have to do is click update.. the program should close and the progress bar will crawl, then if everything is fine the new version will open itself
For those who work in difficult OFFLINE conditions and there is no network there are 2 options:
1. before leaving, look at the necessary blocks with the Internet turned on, the pictures are cached and you can watch them offline on the go.
2. download the full archive with the program and pictures separately in advance (via the link in the closed forum topic)
At the moment, updates are free.
For those who have had the program installed for a long time, sometimes "for prevention" you can delete the entire folder with the program and re-launch it from the installer, this is similar to "clearing the cache" in the browser... it helps if the pictures are not displayed adequately, etc....
TERMS OF USE
In case of suspicion of illegal use of the program "Dump Generator", or independent modification of the program code, or modification of the program code by third parties, the author of the program reserves the right to block USB protection keys and the operation of the program at his own discretion without explanation. Claims in such cases are not accepted.
THE KEY IS BROKEN
If the key is broken, it can be replaced by sending it to the author. Shipping and the cost of the new key are paid. All active modules will be transferred to the new key.
THE KEY IS LOST
If the key is lost, activating the modules on the new one is again a paid process. Be sure to indicate your situation and the number of the old key when purchasing, in which case a discount is provided.
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
When working with your dump, the program requires the dump you have merged, for example, in the case of SRS, this is a dump with Crash data about the accident. It is on this basis that a new corrected dump is formed. That is, if for some reason you have lost the original dump (broke the chip when unsoldering it or read it incorrectly), then there is no point in giving the program a file with empty contents. The program corrects only some areas of the dump depending on the task being performed, it will not return you the original dump entirely and claims for this reason are not accepted.
In this case, it is possible to download the dump from the server (if it is present in the dump database, a green button "download dump" appears).
The dump may not be 100% suitable for your car due to the presence of features in the contents of the dumps (VIN, encoding, etc.), but this gives a great chance to restore the unit's operability. Some dumps do not contain such data and in this case are replaceable.
HOW IT WAS CHECKED
Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee 100% reliability of the work. Although I try to make sure that everything works well. In any case, write to me and I will try to help you. The program has a block rating that users can increase when a specific algorithm is successfully used. Other users of the program subsequently see how many times this algorithm has successfully worked for colleagues.
RESPONSIBILITY
The author of this program has collected data from open sources and automated the process of changing memory dumps.
The author of the program does not bear any responsibility for the use of this product and its consequences.
Dumps modified by the program can only be used in laboratories and on special test sites outside public roads.
LOCAL HELP
It is possible to fill your version of the Dump Generator with information.
That is, locally on your computer, a folder will be created with a set of files you need for specific modules and blocks, any name, for example LocalHelp.
Everyone forms this data at their own discretion and understanding.
It is better to create the LocalHelp folder separately from the Dump Generator in such a place so as not to accidentally delete it when updating the program.
After updating or when you first access the program itself will ask you for the location of the folder.
You should specify the path to LocalHelp where the information will be stored in the future.
The essence is simple, select the desired block and click the Local Help button ... You can store any files in these folders, from pictures to PDF, text and others ...
Module 1. SRS Airbag Crash Removal
Select the desired module, specify the path to the read dump, and click "Start." A second, cleared one will appear next to the dump.
The Crash checkbox means that instead of clearing the module, digital garbage will be written to the addresses where Crash is usually written (this is a request from some users). This garbage will be generated randomly. This checkbox is disabled by default.
Module 13. Editing Error Masks in Control Units
Select the module, specify the desired firmware, and the program will display a list of active error masks. You can disable selected masks and save them back to a file. Checksums are not recalculated during editing. If the program does not recognize the firmware, a corresponding message will be displayed. Please send dumps with descriptions of any data the program was unable to produce or produced incorrectly.
FEEDBACK FORM
For updating, correcting, and adding new dumps...
I'd like the program to be populated with proven options, not from scratch, but from the users themselves. The ideal scenario would be to send the readings to a calibrator, who would then create a properly tuned file based on that. Then, once everything has been tested on the car, a couple of dumps before and after the corrections are sent.
Otherwise, it turns out that I could buy the folds myself and upload them all to the program, but unfortunately, the quality is often poor, and many options are untested. This will lead to the program gradually turning into a jumbled pile of dumps, from which it would be scary to upload options that can also be purchased online for about a thousand rubles a pack without using the program...
POINTS SYSTEM.
Points were introduced much later after the program's creation, to motivate users to add new algorithms.
Successfully adding new blocks and solutions to the program accumulates points,
which can later be used to activate modules and download dumps.
Carefully read the "Feedback Form" section, which states that only personally verified options are required...
The author reserves the right to personally set the reward amount in each individual case.
When launching the program, the user will see how many points they have in their account.
Comments and suggestions are welcome and discussed.
