Title: Adding NOREAD to ECU file
Post by: Pasteurised on December 19, 2017, 02:26:28 PM
Is it as simple as finding a block of FF FF FF FF FF FF data in .bin and replacing it with 4E 4F 52 45 41 44 (NOREAD)?

Thanks

First rule of NOREAD.

If you have to ask how to do it, nobody is remotely interested in your software.

Very true lol!

Suppose it could be useful to stop anyone just reading and then flashing your half decent file on to multiple cars and charging people for it - because someone like that wont usually know how to boot flash the ecu I guess, regardless as to whether there's any crazy implemented code it just stops someone making easy money from just knowing how to read and write.  ;D

The chances of a random DIY tuners software ending up in the hands of someone else is slim. The chances of it ending up in the hands of someone else with the ECU upon which to flash it is even slimmer yet.  These people aren't going to be stealing business from that person as I'd assert that said person has no business to steal. I'd leave it untagged and let idiots put their name to it - it's them it'll come back to.

NOREAD is not always honoured by flashing tools, is that because it hasn't been implemented in the correct place? Also any significant risk of a CS error?

No, because it's a decision of the tool/software maker only.

If it’s me7.5, there’s a few bits to change to kill obd reading ever again, not sure it’s wise to openly put on here tho incase a noob locks themself out.

Not just noread, but copy protection in general.

No you change 0F to 00 and its obd read dead.

Same in all files I've searched in
