Try putting in some of the tephra xml's into the rommetadata folder in ecuflash. Just download the xml pack in the tephra threads. Check 'important ecu threads' sticky and you will find them there under the tephra threads.

It just means ecuflash doesn't have a definition file for it.

When the error comes up select continue and give us the rom ID number in the rom info segment inside the left hand box.

Exactly continue with no definition and it should still give you the rom ID where the rom info is.
