Can anyone from Freescale please help ?

It seems that the flash is somehow secured on the chip. I did a search using the phrase "unsecure" on the Kinetis forum (since you are using a Kinetis part), and got the following results:

One of these forum threads might fit your situation and offer a solution.

Hi Tom,

               Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if its the same issue because I can debug individual programms by clicking the debug button. The issue comes up when loading a binary/hex file using "Flash File to Target".

There are some differences in how this is done using CW10.2 (which I am using) and using CW10.1 as in the following post

Depending upon how your CodeWarrior project is configured, when you click Debug the IDE might be downloading the program into RAM rather than flash, and so debugging works. From the communications trace, the IDE is talking to the part and erasing it. So, the evidence point to either the flash got secured somehow, or there's a secured region in the flash that you're trying to load the program in and the part balks at that.

Have you tried downloading any of the demo programs into flash successfully? That would tell you whether the part is secured, or if there's a secured area in flash.

Finally, since this problem seems to have appeared in v10.2, you might want to file an on-line service request to draw the engineers attention to this.

Hi Tom,

                 Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am able to download programs to Flash normally. The issue is only when I use "Flash File to Target" option. 

I think its time to file an on-line service request.
