Instructions for installation of RomRaider ECU editor software and ECUFlash software specifically for use on BRZ:

Install RomRaider:
Retrieve Beta version of RomRaider (file: RomRaider0.5.7obdTest2-windows.zip):
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/...WWhQkeA8mqZAhg

Place contents of folder in location where you want to run from (this is NOT an install archive)
To star RR, you must execute the 'run.bat' file


Obtain desired ROM (writable) file:
Locate the proper ROM file (ex. ZA1JA01C.bin) from:
file: 2013 USDM BRZ ZA1JA01C.bin
http://www.romraider.com/forum/downl...e.php?id=20646

Have not yet found a generic website with all ROMs.
Look through this thread: http://www.romraider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8475


Obtain desired RR - Defininition file:
retrieve the RR definition
file:RR_ZA1JA01C.xml
https://raw.github.com/TD-D/SubaruDe...R_ZA1JA01C.xml

Then open RR_ECU editor
Click on "ECU Definitions" tab, click "ECU definition Manager"
Click "Add" and browse to wherever you saved the RR_ZA1JAO1C.xml file, select the xml, Click "Open"
Back in Definition manager, click Save.

Now you may Open the ROM saved above.
in RR, click "File"->"Open Image"
Browse to where you saved the above file "2013 USDM BRZ ZA1JA01C.bin", select, click "Open"

This is where you may, or may not, encounter a checksum error.
It might say:
Checksum No. 1 is invalid in table: Checksum Fix
The ROM image may be corrupt.
Use of this ROM image is not advised!

Click OK

Then it might say:
Checksum No. 1 is invalid in table: Checksum Fix 2
The ROM image may be corrupt
Use of this ROM image is not advised!

Click OK

ROM should open & you can look through the tables.

To fix the Checksum errors you need to use ECUFlash


Install ECUFlash BRZ Beta:
file: ecuflash_brz_beta_144040.exe
http://www.tactrix.com/downloads/ecu...ta_1444040.exe
Plug in Tactrix cable and allow drivers to be installed
(on Win 7, this worked fine, on XP I had to get the driver package from the tactrix site instead of what came with the brz beta)


Obtain desired ECUFlash - Defininition file:
file:BRZ/ZA1JA01C.xml
https://github.com/TD-D/SubaruDefs/b...Z/ZA1JA01C.xml

Place this file (ZA1JA01C.xml) in directory:
C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\subaru\BRZ\2012 \


Open ECU_Flash:
Update Firmware in Tactrix cable
In ECUFlash, click "Help" - select "Licensing"
If Tactrix firmware is out of date, it will be updated here automatically to 1.14.4010


Open ROM:
Click "FIle" -> "Open ROM"
Browse to where you saved the ROM file: 2013 USDM BRZ ZA1JA01C.bin
Click file, click "Open"

IF you had checksum errors, a message will pop up: "The ROM you have loaded has one or more incorrect checksum values.
Do you wish to correct them?
Click "Yes"
You should now be able to see the values of the tables for the ROM you selected.
If the ROM is ready to be written, the red-arrow icon "Write calibration and code area using OEM method" will be "clickable"

You are now ready to plug into your car and flash away.
Final steps TBD - havent done it yet


Yeah, that is all just obvious and "anyone" can do it in just 5 minutes.
