Guys, please read other posts and stay on top of this forum if you want to use this software, most of your questions are answered at least once..
But its likely because you have older XML definitions and new files.. you need to update or replace the XML Defs, the EVO bootloader module has been renamed to something more mitsubishi generic and will throw errors on your older XML definitions.

Al sent me the file and i wrote it because for some reason it would let me write that one map but wouldnt let me adjust my current map....now it will not start with the map al provided. When i try to re-write my old map imstill getting Flashing tools do not recognize flash method 'evo'. Any way you can lead me through?

Yeah, uninstall the old software, delete the definition files, and reinstall the software with the new defs..
Also, when you get a chance, check your Immobilizer code in Al's new map and make sure its the same as your old map..
There's another post in this forum on what you need to do exactly to your XML definition file for it to work right.. But basically you change some text in the XML definition from "evo" to "mitsukernel".. Do a search for mitsukernel in this forum and you should be able to find the thread.

Any flashmethods that used to be "evo" should now be "mitsukernel"... If you have your rommetadata somewhere other than the install directory, you will need to update all of your files (or just use the new ones) or you won't be able to flash. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Done.
