    ecuFlash 1.43.3252

    does this version work?

    i installed it and now i can't read any roms
    i seems to have reprogrammed my OP2.0 cable with new drivers and i can go back to version of ecuFlash that was working.
    i have moved the VR4 folder to the new rommetadat folder in the latest version, and made sure the path is set to it.
    but all i get now is a box that opens with the headings along the top like model, etc. i think it is the box that used to come up that had all the different types of ecu you could try to connect with, but the box is completely blank.
    there is also a licensing section in the help menu that i never noticed before and it has an empty box as if i need to put some activation code in it.

    Whats going on please help.

    Bye for Now!

    The licensing menu should allow you to add additional licenses, it should still pick up the license from the connected OP 2.0 (which is around 8-10 random alpha/numeric/punctuation characters).

    It won't be the OpenPort firmware that dictates what ROM definitions EcuFlash can use, that will be something to do with the options.

    Be sure to enable developer mode too.

    Sorry, forgot to add, I'd try backing up your VR-4 definitions (I can send you them again if you want), completely uninstalling EcuFlash, deleting all its folders etc, then reinstalling from scratch and moving your VR-4 defs back into place.

    Well, I believe in sharing what I have been given, you can find all the ECU defs I've collected here;

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36481366/ECU/galant-defs.zip

    In there you'll find all the 7201, 7202 and 7203 defs for the VR-4 that have been put into the public domain, Kens 1.3 ROM, plus a couple of N/A V6 ones

    i have now realised that it is the read request connection window. it does not matter if the cable is connected to car or not it still comes up the same.
    with a empty window where the selection of type of ecu should be made.

    i have gone through a very good thread about setting up ecuflash i started a while ago and funnily enough you (jason) gave me all the info i needed to do the correct setup. and yet again he comes aid of a muppet!

    Can someone help me do a little test.
    Can you boot up ecuFlash and connect you OP2.0 cable to it and press the read ecu button.
    Do you get a an empty box with headings with a read button (greyed out) and cancel button (which can press).

    This is all I can do with ecu flash since I upgraded to this version of ecuflash.
    I have tried to go back to a previous version of ecu flash and it is the same story.
    I can use evo scan with this OP2.0 cable, and it sets the dash into flashy mode when evoscan connects to the ecu.
    I think it might be the new driver that got installed when up grading ecu flash.
    I am just a bit miffed at the moment.

    Right, you need to make sure you've got the ROM reading templates in the same folder that you've chosen as your Metadata Directory (see attached screenshot).

    ecuflash-read-templates.png

    Inside my metadata folder, I've got a subfolder called "read templates" with all the ROM reading templates that come with EcuFlash and this works fine. I've zipped this folder up for you and uploaded it here to save you some time, extract it into the same folder you've selected above; http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36481366/ECU/read-templates.zip

    Hope this helps!

    cheer jason,
    had just uninstalled my ecuflash completely and gone through and deleted the remaining folders,files, shortcuts, everything i could find that the uninstaller left behind.
    i reinstalled 1.43.3252 and checked the read template folder and it had all the files in it, but i am sure i checked this folder before and it was empty.

    "dave goes out in the cold to test it now"

    been out tested it and made no difference.
    it is as if the read template folder is in the wrong place.
    i have the folder in the same place as you have it in the meteadata folder.
    or there is something wrong in the latest ecuflash and it is pointing to the wrong location.

    what version are you using jason is it the 1.43.3150

    it does not matter water i do this is what i get when i try and read the rom, and does not matter if the OP2.0 cable is plugged into the car or not.

    when look at the log file it is finding the read templates as they are seen listed.

    If those read templates are in your rommetadata folder, and you've set that same rommetadata folder as your "Metadata Directory" in the settings menu, but you still can't get a list of memory models when you click "Read from ECU" then somethings quite considerably broken.

    The default Metadata Directory should be: C:/Program Files/OpenECU/EcuFlash/rommetadata

    The read templates (read_evo5.xml etc) should be in: C:/Program Files/OpenECU/EcuFlash/rommetadata/read templates

    Also, in the settings, double check the Metadata -> User Level is set to Developer

    Regarding versions of EcuFlash, I use both without issue;

    .3150 on my flashing laptop
    .3252 on my XP Virtual PC (where I generated the screenshot).

    Hope you can sort it.

    Ahh I see what you've done, you've got the "Metadata Directory" set to C:/Program Files/OpenECU/EcuFlash/rommetadata/mitsubishi/VR4, remove the "/mitsubishi/VR4" bit off the end

    Thanks again for the in Jason, i do appreciate all you help and time spent on my particular problem.

    i have now realised what the problem is, had my metadata folder pointing to rommetadata\mitsubishi\VR4 which always worked for me in my original version of ecufalsh, but my read template folder was in that location as well so it worked for me.
    so with it in the rommetadata folder it was not being seen be ecuflash.
    i have tested it and by moving it to the VR4 folder it now works.
    i think i was advised to move it originally so the rom opening and saving location would jump straight to the VR4 folder every time.
    however i think i will take a leaf out of your book and move the metadata location to a separate location outside of openecu folder structure so this does not happen next time i update ecuFlash.

    it is totally down to you Jason that i got this sorted, thanks again your a star.
    rep coming your way and well deserved.

    so to confirm, my issue was the location of read template folder, it has to be at the same level in the folder structure as you specify the metadata file location so ecuFlash knows where to look for it.

    your Rom storage folder can be located anywhere, but if you want ecuflash to open by default in your Rom storage folder then the read template folder needs to be in your rom storage folder and that location is specified as the metadata folder.

    Hmm, i am still having a issue with ecuflash.

    i can't connect to the ECU.
    i just get an error message saying connection failed.
    i get the list of ecu types to connect to and i pick the second option 7202F.
    then i get the following,

    there are a couple of attenmpt to connect but the result is the same each time.
    ecuflash no connect.jpg

    i get exactly the same result if i disconnect the extra white flash cable, so i think it is something to do with that.
    i have resitance checked the cable as it is only a single pin connection from white connector to tip of the jack connector and it is less than 1 ohm so that should be ok.
    i keep coming back to there being something wrong with the cable.
    i have retested evoscan and it works great, but something i have noticed is when i have a micro sd card inserted in the OP2.0 cable it acts like flash drive and opens an explorer window to show what it on the card, which is nothing at the moment. This did not happen before the latest drivers where installed in it.

    I can't make out any of that text, screenshot is too small.

    Have you tried flashing it without the MicroSD card in ?
