Default XFR and SDD help

Anyone here in Florida and have SDD?
I might have messed up my 2015 XFR, maybe.

After watching YouTube videos, I followed the link to purchase SDD via VMware and cable.

My mission was/is to program a secondary key, enable central locking.

The SDD loaded and cable detected, connected to my car and VIN.
If I remember correctly, it was too hot in the garage at the time, it did some update to my car. Lights came and went, wipers went off, car rebooted.
Appeared to have completed successfully.

Then I can’t get into the Service mode or engineering.
Laptop was low batt so I ended the session.

Car drives excellent, a week passed, yesterday it rained and realized wipers doesn’t work anymore.
I hooked up my other reader, not SDD, to my surprise, there were hundreds of codes, some say computer not compatible.

I can try using the SDD again, but also read bricking the car if something goes wrong.
please help. I’m near Tampa.

You need a special, heavy duty, power supply - as Jaguar state, with details.

Rule of thumb when using SDD You must have a battery maintainer on the battery, and on the laptop in the top right corner it must show green , then the laptop you use must have a power supply ,go back in and go down and hit Reset to Factory and clear any codes
