OpenFlash Manager 1.07.1
 

Hi all,
I just received my OpenFlash Tablet today for my 2013 6MT FR-S, and I have immediately run into an issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. Currently, the car is stock except for a drop-in filter. I'm on a PC running Windows 7. I downloaded and installed OpenFlash Manager 1.07.1 and rebooted my PC. I also downloaded and extracted the 1.59 OTS maps.

I plugged the Tablet into my OBD2 port, and was able to read and store my factory program. The problem came when I plugged the tablet into my laptop to make sure the 1.59 maps were installed for flashing to the ECU.

In OpenFlash Manager 1.07.1, whenever I click on 'Download Data', 'Upload Data', 'Erase Data', 'Upgrade', 'Download LOG', or 'Data Logging' I always get an error message stating "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.". I re-booted the computer again, to no avail.

I was able to click on ModFiles DataBase and click on the .dev file that was included in the 1.59 maps and it appeared to have downloaded to the tablet.

Just for S&G, I went ahead and downloaded the Win8 patch, but that did nothing at all to help with the issue. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any ideas...

That error occurs when Windows isn't equipped with a certain font. I've seen it a couple times before. If you email me at shiv@vishnutuning.com I can send you an installer that will be add the font to your OS :)

Thank you! I was apparently missing the font file that you emailed to me. I'll leave it up to you if you want to publicly post with font file I needed. Regardless, top-notch customer support, one of the many reasons I chose to go with the OFT. Thank you again for your support on this issue.

Meant to mention I have no idea how to 'thank' someone in a thread, but I would do so if I knew how!

:)

Button will appear by quote once you've posted enough.

I might have to check out your tune one day to see how it runs. OFT is definitely on my list of future mods!

Thanks shiv,

Found I had to copy font file to C:\windows\fonts directory

If anyone else needs it unzip attachment below and stick it in directory above

if you get the "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." error in OFM

@shiv@vishnu I am getting the following error when I try to launch OFM. Any suggestions?

Anti-virius software ??

Try different PC

This is the second computer I have used. My home laptop is old and dodgy. On it I could get OFM working but it would have trouble with the zipped roms saying they were corrupt when I tried to unzip them. So I thought I would try my work computer and I get OFM errors on that. I have put the roms on a USB drive unzipped and will try that on my home laptop. It is all fun and games and I am 90% sure the issues are with my computers not the OFT or OFM or even the rom zips.

Honestly all of this is making me look at finally upgrading to a new home computer.

(sorry for the potentially unnecessary and long response, I am just disappointed I can't yet flash my car)

Will this work? http://www.wiki-errors.com/wiki-erro...iki=0xC0000135

I dunno, I just Google 0xC0000135.

Yes you can flash, your oft should be pre loaded with latest .dev tunes. Just read your stock rom, then flash away. No need for pc connection untill you want to update device or tunes

that didn't work for me. It read the rom just fine but the tune icon was greyed out. I figured it was because i had a 700G ecu.

Unplug it and plug it back in,

If still no go yeah maybe it does not have that old rom type in .dev database. If you wre in Brisbane I could flash you to A01G :D

I plan on giving it another go tonight after work. Hopefully that works. :thumbup:

How about use the pc where ofm worked ok but unzip the roms on a different pc then trnasfer the unzipped roms to the pc where ofm works on a memory stick

That is my plan. I have it all unzipped on a USB drive and i'll go home and see if they will load up.

My OFT did not have any tunes on it. After I downloaded my stock rom from my car, I came back into the house and downloaded the tune files onto my OFT (now Tune was no longer grayed out). After that, then I was able to load a tune onto my car. I think before all that I uploaded the TOY04400.dev file onto my OFT. Anyways, that's what I did yesterday when I received my OFT in the mail.

Did you ever have a previous tune by any chance? That's the only reason I can think of why the OFT was not able to generate the OTS maps automatically.

Great success! The car has been flashed and I can straight away notice a difference. Thank you @shiv@vishnu

I have no clue. LoL All I did was was flash my car back to the stock bin (or whatever) from my EcuTek the other night. Then my OFT came in the mail in the afternoon. I plugged it into my desktop with the manager and did the update. Loaded that TOY dev file (dunno why). Went to my car and uploaded my stock file. Came back into the house and did whatever. No tunes were listed so I selected 4 tunes of my choice (from what I downloaded the other night off your website). Stage 2 EL 93 BPB, the 91oct one, Stage 2 EL, and Stage 2 EL E85 tune. I loaded the Stage 2 EL 93 BPB into my car. I dunno. Everything is cool with me. No issues I don't think. Only thing I remember was a pop up about checksums when I was selecting tunes. I just clicked ok and carried on. I dunno. Car runs great. No complaints here. :)

Ecutek "stock" is not exactly the same as stock map, the tune is stock but there is a few bytes of licience info in an unused area of rom. This makes the oft think it not a stock map so it wont build a tune from the .dev data, however the cal id is ok so it will flash a full .bin tune.


You will need that stock ecutek map in your ecu if you want to go back to ecutek tune,

Yeah, I figured something was up looking at the info on the stock ***700C flash. It makes sense now. Thanks. I'm just happy to be able to use the OFT. EcuTek cable up for sale in the FS section.
