Car is a 2006 WRX MT. I have both enginuity (which logs perfectly- no issues) and ecuflash. Here's the deal with ECUflash: It connects with the car perfectly. I then choose the 2005-2007 DBW WRX/STi model. When I have tried to read the ROM, it completes the reading without a hitch and then states "ROM not recognized by current definitions" and gives me three options (abort, save, and make new definition). I have deleted the Subaru definition file (C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\Subaru) included when I first installed Ecuflash and replaced it with the most current definitions into the same place.

But, here's the weird thing: The Subaru folder that originally came with the ecuflash download had multiple subfolders with different models(each subfolder having multiple various 140kb ECU ROMs within). The downloaded current definitions unzipped into one large 3.4MB .xml file, NOT into the various model subfolders like the original. When I open the 3.4MB .xml current definition file in Excel, I can SEE all of the models in one large file, but it is NOT separated like the original. If I go into ECUflash/options and browse for the metadata address and set it to C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\Subaru, I get 1 (one) ROM file in my message log (as if it sees the current dowloaded definitions as one large ROM instead of multiple model specific ROMs). If I use the address C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata, I get 46 Rom files (all of them Mitsu and Mini with ONE LARGE SUBARU ROM).

So, my question is: what have I done incorrectly? Did the current definitions not unizip like they should? Should they have unzipped like the original into multiple subfolders, model specific? Do I need to change the metadata address to something else? Is my stock 06 WRX ROM not supported?

HOW DO I FIX THIS?

CAN I DOWNLOAD AND REFLASH ONE OF THE 06 WRX MT ROMS from here?

Your help is appreciated... AND YES, the green connectors are connected.

Merchgod posted an answer on NASIOC, but if you missed it you loaded the wrong XML. ECUFlash and Enguinity/Romraider use different XML. Download the special separate download for ECUFlash definition files. It is not in the RomRaider/Enguinity definition files download link.

Thanks for the reply. Apparently, I'm an idiot I downloaded the CORRECT definitions and all is well, now. My ROM image was recognized and I've completed my first reflash

I have the same problem, I'm using 1.38 ECUFlash, I tried to read 2 EVO 8 RS cars and 1 EVO 7 GTA, All the roms were not regognised by my current definitions. Where do I find more definitions?

Where do I find these defintions files for EVOs?

These are the ROM files I downloaded

I"m having the same issue. I can't get ecuflash to recognize the BRAND new XPT map I just dropped a hundo on. HELP!

I open ecuflash, it recognizes that there is a .hex map. I click on it and get the three options. WHAT THE HELL!!??

Thanks for your help Todd, I have to say I lost interest after I couldn't find the definitions. But you have now refreshed my interest. Thanks!

Hi Todd that definition you gave me for the EVO 8 93660005 Wont reflash into the ECU it has got the reflash type as "evo" instead of "mitsukernal" how do I change this?

Worked it out, just modified the .xml in "Notpad" now all is good. Any luck finding a definition for the third file? as it came.hex
