MHD flash - NEED HELP PLZ

So, I got everything for MHD and I went to flash and I'm having some issues.

My hardware:
Onn tablet (fully updated)
MHD N55E app and stage 1 map pack
K-DCAN PRO cable
USB adapter

When I went to flash stage 1+ it stayed at 0% for about 40 minutes and the minutes kept rising and the tablet was going to die so I aborted the flash.

Car no longer runs (as figured without an engine flash)

I go to install the original stage 0 map, and same thing, 0% with 8500 minutes remaining.

The tablet is on airplane mode, doors shut, key in ignition and accessory power on.

WHAT GIVES?!?

try this, get a cheap battery charger, hook it up under your hood as if your needing a jump, leave this connected during the flash, next try with your seat belt in its latched position, some cars register that, IDK why. after the first flash and installing the MHD software on the DME future flashes go quicker. and you wont necessarily need the charger but is always still a good idea. If a flash ever fails always flash back to stock, then try again. Hope this helps.

Yes definitely have a trickle charger hooked up to the car during this time.

What year is the car? Did you have the DME unlocked prior to the the flash?

I like it, I only have a charge pipe and am on stage 2+ with the check box for stock catted downpipes.

Eventually I will do a custom FMIC. I plan to run it like this until either the turbo gives or i pull the trigger on a stage 1 or 2 pure turbo.

Are you having any hesitation issues?

I'm on Stage 1+ and was experiencing hesitantation, kinda like misfires. Then I installed a Wagner FMIC, and now super smooth acceleration! Probably going to do Stage 2+ soon.

No hesitations, I had a custom tune before which was giving me an overboost issue after shifting and caused the trans to shift a little funky.

Much smoother with the MHD, I am going to try turning off the linear throttle map now to see which one I like more.
