ROM ID seems to have changed between versions of ECUflash
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 5:26 amThis is for a 2008 Evo 8.
I'm trying to make some adjustments to my professional tune, but am now encountering problems that I hadn't had before. Basically, some of the table data is garbled. After some research, I think that while not all of the data is garbled, most of it is wrong.
My last good ROM from over a year ago opens fine in ECUflash, and all of the tables at least look correct. And the ROM ID comes up as 94170008.
I have downloaded the current ROM from my car twice -- once with the current beta version of ECUflash, and once with the last stable release. Both of them return a ROM ID of 94170015. When I look at the data, like the boost table, for example, the column values are all messed up.
I thought I would be tricky and make a copy of the 94170008 metadata and rename it to 94170015.xml, and change the internal values to also say 94170015. ECUflash is too smart for me because it gave me a ROM read error when I tried to open it.
I did a diff on the two pieces of metadata, and saw that all of the load addresses are different, and some of the elements are present in one, but absent in the other, which I think would explain the read error.
Has anyone else had this issue, where the ROM ID between versions of ECUflash is different? Next, I'm going to try to download the 2009 versions and try each one until I find one that works, but I thought this was kind of weird and figured that there might be another way to handle it.
Thanks...

Thanks very much for your help, though!
