Update Your Mercedes Module Software
Automobiles have always been comprised of a complex system of parts that work together to allow it to function appropriately; this is especially true of vehicles today. Over time, the evolution of cars has progressed into the age of technology. The most advanced vehicle technology, as seen in high-end luxury automobiles and performance autos alike, allows drivers to experience technology in their everyday commutes. Mercedes-Benz is one of the top vehicle manufacturers in the country that employs the most recent technological advances in their automotive engineering and design. Although computers have existed in Mercedes automotive engineering for decades, vehicle functioning and performance is now reliant upon computers and technology more so than ever before. Therefore, just as it is necessary to update your computer at home in order for it to function at its best, Mercedes owners must also commit to updating their vehicle computer software too. It helps to understand why updating your Mercedes software is important, so here’s a little more information on how technology contributes to your vehicle’s functioning:Systems that Software Potentially Affects
Most of us don’t realize how many of the systems in our vehicle are monitored or controlled with technology; just know that there are more than we can name! Of course the obvious software-controlled systems like radio controls, navigation, and temperature control have made their way into the digital age and need updates from time-to-time in order to function at their best. Beyond these obvious systems, you might be surprised to hear that your Mercedes relies on software to effectively manage emission controls, powertrain functions, Engine Management, Transmission and even safety systems like anti-lock brakes and airbags. Furthermore, vehicle manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz have encountered problems that have lead to other recall issues related to the vehicle’s computer and software. It is critical to stay abreast of any recalls related to your particular Mercedes, and you can do this by directly contacting your vehicle manufacturer.Here a usual case where I updated 5-6 modules OFFLINE, engine, cluster, some Sam's and more with my system and a custom database on a W221
R230, W220 and W215 often have very important updates for Engine, CGW, ESP, Transmission and +

A small part of all the services included, unlimited by number, in time, and always free
This exclusive database in conjunction with the new BenzNinja software like CBFware Ultimate and Flashware Ultimate I started developing in last September
makes the BenzNinja services unbeatable by any Chinese junk and other Brand scanners ( MB is shutting down the AUTEL's MB online flashing next January )

Up to you to get the best for your car.....

VERY dangerous to flash the engine or gearbox with low voltage.... very lucky its started again. To avoid programming errors the car should be on a 14.6v power supply (anything under 12.3v is highly likely to destroy a module with a failed write)
With off line diagnostic equipment (aka very old pre 2009 equipment) on a 221 made before 2008 it may help, but you may not have other later fixes (although from my experience that's probably a good thing on a 221)
The front SAM was the version you already had and it says you did it nearly 3 years ago? How are you coding back on the appropriate toys fitted to your car?.... that's what the online versions do after writing the later firmware... the last step is to re-enable the toys it was fitted with at the factory based on what they know they built it with

It's extremely dangerous and not allowed to flash ANY module without at least 3A charger hooked up
the rest of your post is not understandable to me but
there is nothing to re-enable or " re-enable the toys" as the SCN and settings remain
there are 2012 and 2014 fixes on W220 R230 and W215 also
with old systems you are limited, that is why investing in a recent Xentry is mandatory
