This means FEM is in programming mode or is not responding, please check if you can see gateway and cas in the programming list with valid hardware and software numbers. If all are --- then it is not responding. If some have numbers then nothing is serious. Try to flash zgw first, then cas.
If it is a brand new, you need to fill the FA, the only method ( other than online with BMW) is to read FA from old fem and write it in this one, by FA manager.
Also it will be great if you try to check if it can show some fault codes ( both cas and ZGW)

If you have Ista use ista p .
It will do the job.
I had similar problem on f20 ended up using ista and then done the rest with autohex.

Also check the fuse board in the trunk make sure all the fuses are ok

If you can reach programming list with Autohex then there is an FA
Autohex always try to get FA from zgw and vin from cas ( in fem both are included). If FA is not in zgw it will try to read from cas. If no FA in both, you will not see programming list
Try to check it in FA manager if there is an FA

@wheelpro yes i used ista p offline as my f20 was also water damaged
i had trouble with autohex but i had limit wifi because i was out of the workshop.
i flashed fem with true expert mode on ista p and then was able to code the modules with autohex after
