Hi All,
I'm having my first go at flashing my car. I've read the ROM out OK. And I wanted to do a Test Write - but I get the following error....
Flashing tools do not recognize flash method ''
I get this whenever I click Write To ECU, Test Write, or Compare. But read works fine !
Anyone any ideas ?
Thanks
Helen

Go to your Ecuflash directory. Click on rommetadata and go to the Subaru folder (assuming this is a Subaru). Find your definition file which will be the ecu revision (example A4SGD10C.xml). Open it with a text editor and add the correct flash method in between the flashmethod tags (example <flashmethod>wrx02</flashmethod>). Tell us which rom revision you have and we can tell you which flashmethod to use.

That's great !
It's a A4TJ111C. It's a Jap STi 05 model, but I didn't see that listed on the table that was offered for the ROM download - I think i selected a WRX one instead. How do you know which method to use ?

You may want to post up in the JDM subforum and see what others have used with success. It probably is wrx02.

Thanks for your help. I'll post in the JDM section just to double check.
