hey guys please help me out.

im sure its something very easy that im missing but i cant ecuflash to get my rom off my car.

i think its just a path issue but idk...ive been messing with this computer for 2 days straight trying to get everything back running after it crashed.

but here is what im getting when i try to get my rom off my car



any help will be GREATLY appreciated!! thanks

 

i forgot to mention ive tried to uninstall and reinstall ecuflash a million times but it keeps doing the same thing and i am not that computer savy so i might not be deleting everything that has to do with ecuflash off my computer or something like that. and sorry if this has been covered

like i said i think it has to do with "rom file directory" "color map directory" and "metadata directory" paths. if anyone can give me the paths so i can make sure there right that would really help. thanks guys!!

 

morning bump....

 

usually, be default the rom metadata files are in c:\program files\openecu\ecuflash\rommetadata . If they're not there then must be in your user's profile application data directory. Open windows explorer and search for one of the files like '94170008.xml'. This will let you the file path.

 

yea it was the metadata path. but can someone look real quick and tell me what the path is for rom file directory? my doesnt have a path right now and im not sure what it should be. thanks g20!

 

try this: Start EcuFlash, select File\Options menu, select Directories\Metadata Directory from the popup dialog, enter rommetadata into the textbox on the right panel and close the dialog.

If it failed, please click on the ... button next to the textbox to see which directory that it's currently default to and let me know.

 

i have the rommetadata path correct now, i was able to get into my ecu. the only thing that is messed up now is the first one "rom file directory" it has no path, i dont know what that one is for but im sure it does something. so if you could please tell me the path for "rom file directory" and i should be set, thanks again man!!

 

the rom file directory is the one that you'll save your modified maps to. Usually the default is the "MyData" directory in EcuFlash main directory but you can change it to any directory you want.

 

ahhh!! ok i see that once i got my rom off my ecu it filled in the path...geez i feel like a loser, but anyway thanks for the help!!
