So, i was dicking around trying to add some code to my 96530706 .xml. I was actually trying to add the ignition retard limit code to my xml. I kept getting a parse code error anytime i added this code to my.xml. So, i decided to play around to try and figure it out. I never saved any ROM while playing with EcuFlash, trying to make the ignition retard limit tables work. Once i was done and couldn't fix it, i decided to copy over the orginal .xml (TephraMOD-96530706-v7) that i downloaded from tehpra's v7 thread. But now, EcuFlash seems to be stuck on the old .xml and i cannot see the tables properly when i open the 96539796 ROMs. I checked and double checked and EcuFlash has the correct .xml in the rommetadata folder.

I have uninstalled EcuFlash several times to try and re-set everthing, but that's not working. It's almost like when i uninstall EcuFlash, it does not fully un-install and it seems to be stuck on the old .xml once i re-install it.

Also, i have verified, that none of my Roms were edited with the bad .xml file in place...i never saved any thing and this was verified by the modified dates of the files.

I also restarted my machine after uninstalling...and that did not work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

let me guess... runing windows vista? I had the EXACT same issue!!! You might wanna try DL/Installing the "REVO" un-installer program, (google it) to try and completely wipe out any files. Vista caches files, and hides them somewhere! I have yet to find out where they are being hidden, and have tried many times... And when you re-install EcuFlash, do NOT install it in the directory given, put it somewhere else like user/DL's/ecuflash, and see if that helps.

I did this, and seems to be ok... But now I just use this laptop to log, and when it comes to my "roms" I use another... SUX!

Ok....i verified that this is a software/windows vista issue, as i took all my files and installed EcuFlash on another machine and everything looks fine. No issue at all. Damnit, this is aggravating as hell!

Seems like i'm going to have to re-install windows vista in order for this to work correctly again! DAMNIT!!!

 

yeah, it's Vista. lol. I hate this kind of ****....

I will try your method! Thanks for your help man!

 

Side note: UPS just delivered my FP Black, FP Beehive valve springs and a bunch of other ****..... Now, back to this effing windows vista/ EcuFlash issue.

 

congrats on the delivery!

I had just bought a new hard drive for the laptop, and it still did this crap!
Vista FTL!!!

U should be fine after the REVO, and u install it in another directory, but since my GF had a laptop she doesnt use much, I stole hers to do my flashing... lol Not sure if I trust my "Logging" laptop anymore...

also make sure your rommdata directory points to the correct place in the options, as the program installs to c:\Prg Files\OpenECU.... but in the options it sometimes points to c:\users\...\AppData...
this might be why your not picking up the xml'x your changing

 

Werd....i got it working correctly again! Whew.....REVO did the trick man! I was about to run my laptop over with my Evo. Damn you Windows Vista!!!!

Thanks for the help, as is well again.......for now at least.

 

Glad to hear u got it worked out!

Yeah, i agree. This was the first thing i checked.

It seems to have been a windows registry issue. For anybody having problems that would require un-installing ECUFlash and re-installing it, it would be a good idea to clean the system of any install files before installing again.

I'm back in business! Damn, that was blood pressure raising.
