I believe the majority of issues seen with the SMARTY is when the owner had a downloader from another company previously installed that had a non US firmware.

Installing firmware, just like loading software on computers, there is a slim chance that something could go wrong. Just the nature of things.

I had a Superchips I loaded & unloaded a bunch of times. Then I had a Diablo/Predator I loaded & unloaded a bunch of times. Now I have a Smarty that I have loaded & unloaded a bunch of times. I even unloaded it, got a dealer reflash, then loaded & unloaded it a bunch more times again.

Never had any problems.

FYI.
