Just select a 1.8V 4Mbit SPI flash chip with the same pinout:

Maybe your programmer cannot handle 1.8V chips?

In the following example you need the TL866II Plus version:

There's nothing special with 25FS406 as long as reading is concerned, you could select any chip with same capacity and supply voltage.

All the time is info "ID Error! Check the chip correctly? whether contact good pin?"

Doesn't your software allow you to forcibly select a particular chip? Is there some kind of configuration file that defines the parameters of the supported ICs?

Does the sw tell you what ID it read from the chip?

an ID of 00 00 00 00 is not what you would want. 25FS406 should have ID 0x62, 0x16, 0x13 so either the chip is toast or your soldering is bad.

Hi,
It all depends on whether the programmer checks the MID ID or JEDEC ID

(LE25U40. MID:0x00000000 JEDEC:0x00130662)

If you mean cmd 0xAB, it gives nonzero data after 3 dummy bytes and the programmer sw should know that coz it is the same in 25Q40, so i doubt this is the problem.

At this point I would test the method with a known good chip.

90h MID ID
9Fh JEDEC ID

The LE25FS406 only supports 9Fh, and therefore the 90h response is all zeros

yeah, indeed. But cmd 90 responds with 2 bytes (on 25Q40), while there are 3 00s the util shows, which better corresponds to the response of 9F.
So i would definitely test the setup with a known good chip to clear up these things.
