    Manual or Automatic?
    If Auto, it could be that the TCM did not reset after the read or write. I have seen that in the past.
    Did you try the Write Entire again?

    Hmmm. No current ideas are coming to mind other than doing the Write Entire again with the 07 program. Might even try a "battery reset" first.

    Not sure why the VIN changed. Do you have the original 07 file?
