unknown rom image

ok so im trying to get the rom image from my ecu and im new to this but when i connected the cable and tried to read with ecuflash .it says that it is an unknown rom using any of the current definitions. it has three options.
abort
continue without the ability to view it or anything just save it
and create a new one.

It should have a rom ID for the image just tell us what it is so we can find the right XML

Then prepare to be schooled on how to do it yourself. I couldn't remember the exact steps so i just made ecuflash unrecognize an existing rom.


STEP 1) Open a rom to recieve this Dialog



STEP 2) Make sure you use the wizard to create a new def since the other option just closes it.

STEP 3) We are going to inherit from the evo 7 base you could use the evo 9 base if its from an evo 9 you get the idea i think



STEP 4) Use reading skills to extract the rom ID labeled in red in this dialog. You could cancel the process at this point since we just want the ROM ID not really to create a xml file.
