I went through the pain of figuring out how to do this, and now I'm going to share it with y'all. Hope this doesn't **** anyone off, but this forum is about sharing info so here goes.

If you have a map that was purchased from someone and it comes up looking all scrambled, the fix is relatively easy. Some tuners change the ROMID in the map so that this happens.

First off, answer yourself this question. What year is my car? Now search this forum for some potential ROMIDs that might have come on your car. Let's say you have an IX:


Just download the rom via ECU flash, save it somewhere, call it scrambledIXrom.hex or something.

Go download xvi32 (hex editor program): http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delph...vi32/xvi32.htm

Launch xvi32, open the rom file you saved from your car.

Address -> Go To Address and put in hex $F52.

Type in the hex value: 88 59 00 15 (no spaces, hex values belong in pairs like that).

Now save it as a NEW NAME, call it unscrambledIXrom.hex.

Now open that file in EcuFlash and voila, unscrambled maps!

It is literally just that easy. If that does not work, try some other romIDs that might have come for your car, search this forum for those.

Good info. Thanks.

 

Where's my shout out Scheides?! j/k

 

Woot! Yes, thank you Igor for getting me down the road here. Figuring out the specifics were a bit crazy, even for a veteran computer nerd.

 

Thanks, you are great!

 

He figured this out while we were trying to get rid of the goofiness DynoFlash Al did to my ECU!

 

lol, don't speak that name here.
cool SN btw.

 

cool.

 

make it a sticky?

 

Nice, thanks for the tip

 

or just stick:

<table name="ROMID" category="Mods" address="f52" type="1D" scaling="Hex32"/>

Into your evo9base.xml, and then update the ROMID in ecuflash, close the rom and reopen it

 

I spent ages searching for the thread Malibujack posted with this info, it didn't occur to me to open the xml and post that up. But then maybe that's not so surprising

Is this what you mean in this thread, cause it is the most annoying thing to happen. Very disappointed in the tuner that has done it to my PC.

So the question is will it fix it below?

Thanks,
Mr Evolution

P.S. If this is an open forum then letting everyone know the tuners that practice this should be allowed.

 

The link doesn't work anymore, could you update the link. Thanks
