I have used EcuFlash 1.29a for a quite a while now but wanted to utilize the periphery bits so I upgraded to 1.40 and it won't connect or respond. I have the original Taxtrix cable and uninstalled all the old drivers, 1.29a and then upgraded to the new drivers with 1.40 but still nothing.

EcuFlash 1.40 just ends up saying not responding but 1.29a works fine with the new drivers and so does Mitsulogger and EVOScan so it seems to be EcuFlash 1.40. I tried EcuFlash 1.35 and it doesn't respond either.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get EcuFlash 1.40 working? I'm out of ideas. This is installed on an HP ZD7000A laptop with XP SP2 if that helps.

Thanks for any ideas.

 

There is already threads on here that discussed this when it was first released. you just have an older cable. but ecuflash 1.40 doesn't have any extra features for evo8 anyway. so just stick to v1.29a

 

just keep an eye on the Endian settings, I can't remember what version it changed in.

 

Thanks but the endian settings didn't seem to matter as I had changed those when putting back my mods to the XML files. I wanted to use the blob bits (periphery bits) functionality of the new version to get rid of the timing variances (which 1.29a doesn't do).

Any other ideas?

Thanks for any tips/pointers to resolve.

 

Email tactrix. You may have an issue with the serial number on your cable that needs to be updated. 1.40 is confused by your serial # when it looks at it to confirm it is a legit cable and it pegs the processor. tactrix will help you change the serial # on your cable so that 1.40 is compatible with it.

 

Thanks for the pointer. I've e-mailed them and will see if there is a firmware update for the ealier cables.

Thanks again!

 

I had the same issue, got tractrix to help me reserialize my cable.

My issue was with 1.40, it would always freeze when you tried to communicate with the ecu. Now after reserializing the cable it gives me an error and the data log says:

[20:20:03.706] Using interface OpenPort 1.3 Universal TX29HmBS7366b6c553611ea15b277e98b33ff49180f428ae

So it still doesn't work......yet

 

If it is a cable you purchased from me at limitless.co.nz you can return it to me and I will provide a fully tested working cable, i test all my cables individually on ecuflash v1.40 and I test them on new unreleased versions of ecuflash also.

 

YES! I do believe I got my cable from Limitles.co.nz.
You have PM.

 

please do not use PM, please use my website to contact me, because the support call messages pop up on my screen when I'm online via my website, its a lot easier too because I have my address and other preloaded responses, thanks.

 

Update: reserializing the cable did the trick. Thanks for the help
