Overview

Your Original
Calibration Stays Available.

When a Flashing License is activated, MG Flasher creates and stores an original Stock option for the assigned vehicle. The Stock map appears in the Flashing screen alongside the available OTS and Custom Flash options.

Selecting Stock flashes the original factory software as Stage 0. The vehicle remains activated in MG Flasher, and the ECU remains in its current unlocked state, allowing supported maps to be flashed again later without purchasing the same VIN-locked products again.

What Stock Restore Does
Restores original calibration

Returns the supported ECU to the stock map stored for that vehicle.

Keeps MG Flasher activated

The vehicle remains associated with its VIN-locked Flashing License.

Keeps the ECU unlocked

The existing unlock state is preserved when using the standard Stock option.

Important Difference

Stock Restore Is Not an ECU Uninstall.

MG Flasher contains two different factory-software workflows. Choose the correct one for the intended result.

Advanced diagnostic operation

Uninstall / Flash To Stock

Use only when the complete MG Flasher installation should be removed.

  • Restores factory software and uninstalls MG Flasher
  • Relocks the ECU
  • Increases the flashing counter
  • May remove a bench or Femto unlock entirely
  • Can require another unlock before future tuning
Use only when specifically required
!
Do not use Uninstall / Flash To Stock as a substitute for the normal Stock map.

If the ECU had a bench or Femto unlock, the uninstall operation can remove it and require a new unlock service before flashing again.

Flashing Workflow

Restore the Stock Map in Four Steps.

Use the same safe preparation and connection standards as any other ECU flash.

01 Prepare

Prepare the Vehicle

Maintain stable battery voltage, turn off unnecessary electrical loads and keep the connection secure.

02 Connect

Open the Flashing Screen

Connect MG Flasher to the supported vehicle and open the available map list.

03 Select

Choose Stock

Select the Stock / Stage 0 option created for the vehicle during license activation.

04 Flash

Complete the Flash

Do not disconnect the device or switch off the ignition until MG Flasher confirms success.

Included with Activation

Stock Software Is Created for the Vehicle.

The original map becomes available with Flashing License activation. It is associated with the vehicle VIN and stored through the MG Flasher workflow so the supported ECU can be returned to Stock later.

Returning to Stock does not require purchasing the same redeemed license or maps again. Existing purchases remain associated with the vehicle VIN and can be used again on compatible software.

Common Use Cases

When Drivers Return to Stock.

The Stock option is useful whenever the original factory calibration is preferred again.

01

Service Preparation

Return the ECU to the original calibration before a workshop or service visit when appropriate.

02

Troubleshooting

Compare vehicle behaviour on the stock map when investigating a tune, hardware or drivability concern.

03

Hardware Changes

Use the factory calibration while the vehicle setup is changed or returned to compatible stock hardware.

04

Daily Use

Switch back to the stock calibration without removing the ability to flash supported maps again later.

Warranty and service decisions remain outside MG Flasher.

Returning to the stock calibration does not guarantee warranty eligibility, conceal prior tuning or determine how a manufacturer or dealer evaluates the vehicle.

Before Flashing

Prepare the Vehicle Correctly.

Stock Restore is still an ECU flash and requires a stable, uninterrupted flashing environment.

01

Supported Vehicle

The ECU and software must remain supported by MG Flasher.

02

Activated Vehicle

The Stock option is created as part of the vehicle activation and license workflow.

03

Stable Battery

Use a healthy battery and charger where recommended to maintain voltage during flashing.

04

Reliable Connection

Keep the device connected through a compatible ENET setup until the flash is complete.

FAQ

Stock Restore FAQ.

Common questions about returning a supported ECU to the original factory calibration.

Can I return my car to the original stock map?

Yes. An original Stock option is created for the supported vehicle during activation and can be flashed from the normal Flashing screen.

Does Stock Restore relock the ECU?

No. The standard Stock option restores the original calibration while the ECU and vehicle remain activated and unlocked.

What is the difference between Stock Restore and Uninstall / Flash To Stock?

Stock Restore changes the map to Stage 0 while retaining activation and the ECU unlock. Uninstall / Flash To Stock removes MG Flasher, relocks the ECU and may remove a bench or Femto unlock.

Will I need to buy my license or maps again after returning to Stock?

No. Existing redeemed purchases remain linked to the vehicle VIN and can be used again where the vehicle and software remain compatible.

How long does a Stock flash take?

The current documentation describes the normal Stock map as a short flash of approximately 15–20 seconds after activation, although actual time can depend on the vehicle and app workflow.

Does returning to Stock guarantee that previous tuning cannot be detected?

No. Stock Restore returns the calibration to factory software, but it does not guarantee warranty eligibility, invisibility of prior tuning or a particular dealer assessment.

Should I use Uninstall / Flash To Stock before service?

Not as a default. The uninstall operation relocks the ECU and may remove a bench or Femto unlock. Use it only when the complete uninstall is specifically required or recommended by MG Flasher Support.

Do I still need stable battery voltage for Stock Restore?

Yes. Stock Restore is an ECU flash, so the vehicle should be prepared with stable battery power and a reliable connection.
