Ive been usung the software for a little while now just trying to get a feel for it and ive attempted to open another rom but instead i get this message and i dont know which option too choose from.

Defined from scratch...?

Copied...?

Inherited...?

Ive opened the stock image before and had no problems but for some reason im now promted with this msg and im unaware as to the appropriate option.

Thanks

 

Is it the same image you opened before? Make sure the paths to the XML files hasn't changed..

If its a brand new rom image that is just different than anything seen yet, it probably can be inherited, but if it is new, then send a copy of it to Jason at Mynes.

 

No it is a new image and the path has not changed.

Is there a specific inheritence that i should always follow? As far as the options given to me in the pull down tab

 

I was with Sap12687 while trying to retrieve his tune. I have no problems reading my ROM from the ECU, but his could not be pulled. His is a Dynoflash tune for what it's worth.

We would get the unknown rom image error. I tried all 3 of the options listed but could not view the fuel or timing maps. The fonts for all the definitions would be greyed out when trying to view the parameters. And instead of having data when opening up the maps, it would just have a message saying that the data was incomplete???

I don't remember which inheritance option we clicked on but with one of the choices, we were able to pull up definitions which looked normal (font wasn't greyed out). However, the cells inside the fuel and timing maps didn't contain normal values - there was "inf"' in >90% of the cells???

 

Is his flash a ECUTek Dynoflash? If it is, that could explain it.

Since its a dynoflash image I'm not sure how to handle this, but it may be an unseen ECU Internal ID...

 

Hmm, not sure...I don't believe so, but only he can confirm.

 

If you can post the internal ID on the ECU (not the rom flash) but just the number, we can see if its a new unseen rom, or something is just fouled up with a definition.

 

You cannot even communicate with the ECU if there was an Ecutek flash on it. So it is not an Ecutek flash ROM.

What I think probably happened is that you did not add .hex at the end of the file when you saved it.

 

nope, we saved it with a .hex at the end.

I wonder if his cable is screwed up? That was the only common denominator...we tried different laptops, reinstalled ecuflash, reread the rom multiple times, etc.

 

If you didnt add .hex as the extension EcuFlash would not recognize the file.

 

My stock ECU was flashed, i am not running ECUTek. Malibu, where can i find the ECU ID # so we can look into this a little further

 

bump

 

If you can take the ECU out from under the dash, it should have several codes written on the label, it should have its revision and internal ID number written on there.

 

bump any updates?

I'm getting this message all of a sudden. I didn't change anything. Can't view any maps. Mine, my friend's or the 05 stock map.

 

I have a dynoflash mail in and I was able to pull mine and modify it just fine.
