Error 15050010 occurs when Xhorse VVDI Key Tool Plus fails to read or “crack” the Jaguar 2018 RFA module during key programming.
Typical message:
“Cracking failed, please check the adapter and module connection. If multiple attempts to crack fail, you can try testing options 72 and 74. Chip crack failed, unknown error! 15050010”
This error mainly indicates a communication failure between the device and the Jaguar RFA module.
Quick Fix (Most Effective Solution)
In most cases, the issue can be resolved quickly with the following steps:
1. Reconnect and Retry
(1) Disconnect the adapter and module completely
(2) Re-seat all connections firmly
(3) Ensure stable physical contact
(4) Retry reading 2–3 times
This solves most cases of error 15050010
2. Use Alternative Reading Mode (Option 72 / 74)
If the standard method fails:
Path:
Prog → More Functions → Other → More Functions → Test Function → Option 72 / 74
(1) Select Option 72 or 74
(2) Retry chip reading
This bypasses the unstable default cracking process
Symptoms
You are likely facing this issue if:
Device stops at “Cracking…” stage
The Jaguar 2018 RFA module cannot be read
Error 15050010 appears repeatedly
Multiple attempts fail
