Congratulations – you now have a 2.70 clone that performs 95% like an original. Backup your working firmware immediately using a ST-Link V2.
If you own a Chinese KTAG clone (often referred to as the "Orange" or "Green" PCB), you are likely running the stable but aging firmware version . While 2.25 is reliable, the newer version 2.70 offers expanded vehicle coverage, bug fixes, and support for newer ECUs (Bosch EDC17, Continental SID, etc.). update ktag clone from 225 to 270
No software update can fix bad hardware. If your 2.25 clone works perfectly for your current needs, don’t fix what isn’t broken. Only update if you specifically need 2.70’s new ECU definitions.
