I just got the tactrix cable, and about to purchase evoscan. I don't know if i should wait since the 12's just came out? I just wanted to start learning about logging..etc

 

well just went outside and read the ecu, kinda got freaked out seeing...every freakin warning light pop up and the fans turn on.

at the end though it said unknown rom image?

 

Have you saved the read image?

 

If its not defined ECUFlash will not know the image and in this case I haven't seen anyone publically speak of a 2012 ROM that has been defined yet. Hopefully someone will look into it, I have a friend that just got a 2012 and I know he'll want some tuning soon as well.

I checked Golden's XML database and no 2012's are listed there either.

yes! i tried to run evoscan..me being an idiot forgot i have to enable mode23 just to log boost etc...

 

damn that's what i was afraid of. guess that means i'm going to have to wait for my tune.

 

please help, im just not understanding you.
Im guessing the 2012 ROM is totally different than a 2011?
and being "defined" means?
you cant log or tune until this happens?

 

im not sure if its different then a 2011 but when i tried to read it through ecuflash it states unknown rom image

 

You will be able to log - just not in mode 23. You will not be able to tune until tables are defined.

If you can post up the ROM image the disassemblers can get working on an XML for it. Finding the ROM ID is the first step and only takes minutes once the file is up. If you need me to host the file PM me and I'll send you email information so I can get it up here.

 

These days, EvoM allows you to upload ROM images attached to posts. Just ensure the file has a .bin or .hex extension.


I'm happy to get in on the disassembly fun... but perhaps we can coordinate things. That way, 4 people aren't all simultaneously looking for the fuel map, then the timing map, then... etc.

i have a tactrix openport 2.0 on the way. as soon as it comes in i will post my rom image.

 

got my cable yesterday. Not sure how to use it yet?
Ill give it a try asap.

 

Here's where Merlin's "Ralliart and Evo X Tuning Guide" currently lives...

Also, if it helps, I put something together for n00b Ralliart owners (like me, at the time) who were getting into this stuff. A lot of it is directly relevant to Evo X world...

Good luck.

OK! i got my taxtrix 2.0 cable in today.
grabbed my stock ROM image and saved it and attached the hex file to this post.

the car is a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR 5MT USDM.

should i upload this rom image anywhere else?

thanks!

The main map definitions have been done for 2012 USDM 5MT and SST ROMs.

Download the 58010005 xml from goldenevo.com. You should then be able to open, review and edit that ROM of yours.
