When I pulled after flashing the brzedit stock rom on I got the whole thing, modified it and flashed it back on. I can send you the rom if you wanna see it

beta pulls the ROM on my Australian delivered GT86.
PM me if you want the ZA1JA01G file.
First 8000 not read and padded.
I'm also curious as to why some pull the whole ROM and some omit the first 8000.

Sorry for the n00b question but I am not very familiar with CANBUS systems. I know our car has it and I know how to find the wires but I have no clue how to decipher the raw data. Right now I just want the key fob functions to work while the car is started but I know there are much more powerful things it can do such as steering angle yaw rate......... Will this cable and all the help from the people on RR unlock some of this potential or should I just give up on my hopes and dreams??

This has nothing at all to do with what you're talking about. Completely different pieces of hardware control those things. This is only for reading and writing ecu roms.

holy smokes batman how many copies of ftd2xx.dll does ECUflash need to have to open?

I searched and found copies installed in subfolders of ECUFlash...so i figured that wasn't my issue...gave up put a copy in the root of ecuflash...hey it works...AHHH i feel stupid..../rant.

Please PM me the rom - would like to compare with the already posted on RR and fill out the definition that I started with.

pulled my rom - ZA1JA01C
when saving as hex got a msg:
"this rom image contains sections of invalid data which must be zero padded to make a contiguous file. It is possible upon subsequent loading of this file that you might flash over valid areas with these zeroed areas."
the files was saved with first x8000 (32768 dec) zero padded, 1.25mb.
i was also able to open the file in RomRaider with RR_ZA1JA01C.xml def file (from this post http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=12)

some folks are reporting the roms needing to be zero padded. i don't believe it's an issue at all, and it should work fine for you.

didn't flash back, just pulled it. i saw that post from SkullWorks, so I think I'll wait.
but i did not have an issue with zero padding others reported.

yeah i wouldn't go flashing anything not based on the rom that came off of your own car until more is understood. personally i've flashed roms based on my pulled image as well as another (stock image) dozens of times with no issues. i suspect the guy flashed the wrong rom for his car or had some other sort of hardware issue.

endrswrd · 11-01-2013, 03:20 PM

I have flashed both a stock image with the 0 padding issue and one of the shiv roms with the bad checksum (I believe its the calculation that is having issues). Both cars were perfectly fine after the flash.

That's what I'm thinking as well - he flashed an OFT stage 2 rom I think. At this stage, I would edit whatever rom was pulled off the car to flash, the architecture (i.e. CAL ids) of the various roms is only just being identified.

I hope he managed to get hold of Skullworks, they should be able to take him through the SHBoot process.
