no, i havent done that because i wanted to dowload and save a stock rom since the previous owner had the ecu flash tuned and who knows what turbotrix did to it. i wanted to flash a stock rom back into the car and start tuning from there. plus i wanted to mess around with a stock rom and figure the ecuflash out and who to change things etc etc. hope that makes since.

i cant justify spending the money for evoscan and a tactrix cable if i cant figure all this out beforehand when i could simply get aem and download the software to my computer and tune from there without all this hassle which is quickly the way im leaning since i seem to have f'ed everything up in the ecuflash and roms that were previously working.

as i stated before i had a few stock roms that i was able to open up and view and now i cant after screwing with the tephra patches and trying to get it working.

 

Noob here with an IX. This is what I did to start over and got software/files to click
1)remove ecuflash. i think this removes previous incorrect inheritance selections. this will also delete the evo rom directory
2)install ecuflash
3)copy tephra-recompile v7 files into the evo rom directory. you can copy the whole dir as backup if you want
4)start ecuflash. no errors should be on the task info screen (or else fix that first)
5)open tephra-recompile v7 bin file (you should not get a prompt for inheritance whatchumacallit screen)

 

tried that and thats part of where im geting stuck. at first the stupid inheritance screen gave me no options, now ive gottem to where the inheritance screen gives me an option for 2003 evolution but wants a bunch of other **** i cant find or dont know. this is a ****ing headache.

 

send me a support call to www.evoscan.com/helpdesk and I'll help you with my realtime support via teamviewer. Should only take about 30 seconds to get you up and running.

 

^just went to the link and filled out one of those tickets? if thats what you were talking about then its done just waiting to hear back.

 

well someone responded and told me to follow a link because the rom files i had were old? they said to go to blah blah blah link and download from there of some **** and gave me an invalid link then said let me know if you need anymore help and well i seen no way to respond to the message?

 

bump

 

the link is www.evoscan.com/roms/mitsubishi

link is active.

 

yes you can reply to the support ticket... people respond to them every day.

 

k, been replying. followed that link. the link is where i downloaded some of the roms before that worked, and now they dont.

is there somewhere i can call and talk to tech support that way its alot easier on both parties? instead of trying to describe what im getting i can have it up and tell them, and then they say ok go here and do this and tell me what happens...

 

I guess no one has encountered this problem before or something. decided i would try to call tactrix support and he said something was probably corrupted when i tried patching some of the roms. he sent an email stating how to wipe my computer completely clean of all folders associated with it. He also provided links to re download ecuflash. even though i have done this about 10 times now i followed the instructions and well guess what still nothing. Mellon racing was even nice enough to send a 94170015 rom with the immobalizer disabled to see if that would work and if i could open it and it was a no go too so i know its not the fact im downloading old roms.

this is the rom chris sent me
03_04_LANCER_EVO8_USDM_94170015.hex

when i try opening it in ecuflash this is the exact error message i get word for word.

 

Here is what is the xml in my metadata folder for the 94170015 rom and what it looks like if i open it in notepad. wondering if something in here is incorrect or something cuz im out of ideas.

awdordie, can you pm me your email addy? And what ecuflash version are you using?

 

pm'd and i have tried about every one of the latest versions. i was using 1.42 and now the guy at tactrix said to download the beta version and right click and click run as administrator. the version im running now is 1.43.3150 which is what the link he gave me was.

 

look for a temp subfolder in ecuflash. I've seen them have a copy of the xml files for some reason and until they are deleted xml changes will not take place.
