Is Evoscan running while you try to write to ecu via Ecuflash? if so, disable Evoscan and then write.

evoscan is a data logger. you can only read the ECU when you have the live graphing turned on.
ECUFlash is the tool you need to modify the rom.

another possibility is that your ECU is "locked" with a scrabbled ECU ID, and you will have to locate the unlocker tool to clear this up before being able to read the ecu properly

I'm a noob to data logging and tuning. Which cable do you have? I have the same problem bc I bought the tactrix opensource 1.3r cable. It says for reading and writing but it doesn't. It also has the extra wire with connector to flash ecu.

Also, my evoscan has a button that says write to ecu. Why? If it doesn't have the capability then why is it there?
