I just currently tried flashing my ecu over my exisiting map and using my friend's flashed map. Now I am locked out of my ecu i can't even flash back my old map. I was told that if I flash another evo's map onto my car it without inputting my immobilzer code it would corrupt the flashing process and lock you out? The message I eet is:

[01:21:25.734] sending init sequence 1 (0001)
[01:21:29.000] sending init sequence 1 (0003)
[01:21:32.265] sending init sequence 1 (FFFF)
[01:21:35.000] no response to any known code

I was told that if I down ecu unlocker v1.1 it would allow me to be able to reflash my car again? Also I heard that you have to downloan net frame to be able to run the ecu unlocker v1.1? If that is true is that it or is there anything else that I need.......

 

Thats pretty much it..

1) Download the Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework and install it..
2) Download ECU Unlocker
3) Extract and run ECU Unlocker, leave it running..
4) Start ECUFlash (while ECU Unlocker is still running)
5) Extract ECU as you would normally, it will add the required init code to access a locked ECU, if you don't want to extract the ECU, then just write to the ECU..

In order to perminently remove the lock, you have to extract the rom, and change the init code in the rom to 0001 in ECUFlash, or use your stock rom (or backed up rom) Once the init code is changed back to 0001 it will work as expected.

Thats it...

Just remember whenever you start playing with your car..

1) Always back up your ROM from your ECU before you do anything
2) Make several copies of it and save them in different places other than your laptop your using to do flashing.
3) WRITE DOWN AND SAVE YOUR ROM'S IMMOBILIZER CODE, this will allow you to recover from a bad write or other issue where you might have inadvertantly overwritten or lost the immobilizer code in your ECU.. Do this to avoid an embarrassing call and trip to the dealer to "Fix" the problem.

 

Thanks Jack! It worked like a charm!
