offering payment for help reading rom

i still cant get this sorted so am offering $20usd via paypal to anyone who can get it sorted for me.... please someone must know how to sort this

ive tried saving the rom from my evo 7 to ecuflash it will save it but when i try to read it it gives me the note "unknown ROM image- ecuflash could not recognize this ROM image using any of the current definitions" i have tried searching and no one seams to have a definitive solution, is there anyway i can read this, i can connect my car to a mut3 which will give me the ecu part# and rom id# would this help me get this problem solved?

thanks in advance

Is it a oem rom, or was it modified by a tuner?

If its oem rom, the you can just upload it here. With luck someone has a definition or at least can tell you the rom id.

All evo 7 ecu i have seen (not all but about 6 differend), can be patched with the 90550001.

But becarefull with the immobilizer code. Just send yourself a copy of the orginal rom by email, its my favorie backup solution.
If you delete you immobilizer code, it gets difficult.

You just need the 98640014.xml

Copy it to your ecuflash directory Program files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo

then open the hex file again, and it works.

Use this XML file, place in this directory, or where you have Ecuflash installed: C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo
