I tried the DEV file method and decided I wanted to go back to the old way. Now I can't save my bin files. I get an error message when I try to create a backup of the bin files. Any ideas?

No need to do a back-up since none of the ROMs have any unique vehicle data (vin number, etc,.) And there is a bug in the newest OF Manager software that prevents back-ups anyway. When you generate tune ROMs using the .dev file, they cannot be saved/downloaded from the OFT. Just upload files normally and they will over-write the .dev generated ROMs.

So how do I save a copy of the original ROM that came with the car? I would like to have it someplace in addition to on the OFT.

That is how I have done it in the past. Now it says "downloading error" when I try. I think that is the glitch Shiv referenced above. I am trying to find a work around.

Has anyone flashed back to stock and taken their car in for a flash from dealer?
Interesting experience tonight. Took my car back in for 15k service, and in the meantime inquired about the idle drop TSB. I watched them try to flash it for a little over an hour and the software kept coming up with an "unable to communicate with ECU" error. I'm going back in on Monday for them to try and diagnose the issue. This was their first time trying to flash an FR-S. It could be an issue on their end. I do, though, wonder if it's an issue OFT could have caused -- anyone else done this successfully?

If you carn't after the dealer has touched it check the fuse for the 12v supply to the obd port . OFT tunes do not lock, encrypt change seed keys or change anything to do with flash process. The dealer gear is either crook or they are "wombats" |
