Here's a beta of the command line reflashing tool

[Spiider]

In order to make a good tuning program that can recognise the great number of ecu types, we need the library of ecu dumps so that we can get every type of ecu's locations figured out. This is why I have been imploring everyone to get off the couch and get out to the driveway and spend the 10 minutes it takes to setup and dump the rom and then post it online.

Right now we have a good backup and restore utility. (And the ability to copy another ecu tuning into another ecu.)

Ok.

When I find some time, I will send my JDM MY00 NA

[Spiider]

OK, I sat down and created a "launcher" program and a zip package for newbies to make it easier to get working on dumping.

All you need to do is unzip the program to "c:\openecu\".

Then run the "ecuflash gui v2.exe " program I've created and you should have no problems hopefully.

Version 2 supports the ecuflash command line functions "/dq /ci /fi /tfi".

Logging of the command sent is done to "command.txt"

Logging of the ecuflash output is automatically done to "log.txt".

The problem is not dumping, is building the cable )

[Spiider]

I don't understand people's obsession with building a cable when such a good one is available for sale for so cheap right here on this site. The cable is the most uninteresting part of this project now.

I couldn't build the same cable for anywhere near as cheaply as Colby is selling them for.

To each his own though...

Hey Spiider!

I tried the reflash with no results.

I did paly around w/ it much since it was late into the night.

My model is a jdm my00. not a wrx.

I will try the cli later this week.

openEcu = OpenSource? why someone can't spent his time to do the cable?
do it yourself

maybe someone must go to some other for free- reflash? i hope no.

Colby got a bulk price for the parts, and is not making much, if anything. On a single order basis, you would have a hard time building it for the same price. However, the schematic is posted if you want to. I had a purchased ODB2 reader, and a home built. I bought one because it is a very clean design for the same price it would cost me to build.

Hey west_minist, I don't think you can dump your my2000 ecu with this software.

so quick question. all this program is doing is storing an image of waht is on the ECU correct? so since i am running a cob stage 2 would anything happen if i were to save the image without unmaring?

Use cobb AP to flash, then dump flashed rom to laptop, then unmarry and then take dumped rom and reflash ecu. Might be some legal issues here if that works.

The fact is that i'm interested to provide to you the dump of my STi2002 EU/UK prodrive ECU. But since there is no Loan-service for the cable, i don't want to spend 90$ (with shipping costs) for just a dump. I'm not interested in flashing,too much risk for the engine, i want only help the group openecu for future projects.

Or..if anyone come in Europe for holidays, call me, take your cable and i give you access to my ecu

i completely agree. i have an AP cuz i wish to support the company. however this question was posed just so i could understand if the loader was harmful to the image on there. reason why i was confused about the dump util is for instance with the psp you can dump the UMDs. However this is an unwritable format as of now so there are no worries. The ECU however is not (since it can be flashed) and was worried for my self and otheres that the original image could have been harmed and my investment null and void.

Please also understand this was just a hypothetical question and I will in no way give out cobb proprietary information. street tuner will be purchased soon, along with bigger injectors to support the ion stage 1 turbo. Cobb has supported their product very well and i will contiune to support them (especially from a hardware stand point)

sorry for the long post, but just wanted to make my stand clear.

Are there any differences in 4EAT ECU's compared to 5MT? If I get images from 5mts will it work on a 4EAT?

I currently have an 04. I went out and got my self a spare 02 (which was intended to swap out the 04 ECU to get rid of the Ol/CL delay. Problem is a I got a very early revision of the ECU and apparnetly it had problems (TSB's showed the dealers were reflashing the ECU to fix the CEL). Can I take a newer 02 map and flash it onto my 02 ECU to work with my 04? (I really didn't want to tinker with my stock ECU).
