Pulling what's left of my hair out trying to figure out how to shuffle my files around so I can use them to burn in a new file. I have a file download but can't figure out how to move it to the EPROM folder. Help please and there's a whiskey in it for you.

There are detailed instructions in text and video form on Buelltooth.com

Bummer is, they can only get so close because it is whatever your device is that dictates where to put the file to be used by ECMDroid. Typically a ECMDROID/DATA/EEPROM sort of location.

Do you have File Manager on your device?

I'm using a Samsung tablet and it has file manager. Later today, after honey do's I'll get back at it.

Finally, success. Now if I can only remember which buttons I pushed.

I've read the tutorials 1000 times. Doesn't translate. I'm pc illiterate. My issue is moving the file from a download to the EEPROM folder.

Maybe reading this thread will help.

Thanks for the link. My issue isn't that I can't find the file, its how to move it to the same folder as my saved file so I can burn it to the ECM. I'm sure it's a simple task once I learn how. You would be amazed how long it took me to upload a pic to the old (free) 'Photobucket'.

From the beginning:

Go to your e-mail and download the file.

Then, in File Manager, go to the "downloads" folder, it will be there.

From there, open whatever option you have to "move" the file. Maybe press and hold it? maybe there's a menu up top? depends on your device.

Once you select it to move it, go to:
Internal memory (sometimes called internal storage)/Android/data/org.ecmdroid/files/eeprom and put it there (hit OK).

Then, when you go into ECMDroid, go to the menu and hit Eeprom editor, then the three little dots on the upper right and choose "load"
The file you just put in will be there, select it, and the ECM type, then you can "Burn" it to the ECM.

*As long as you already have chosen "Enable ECM burning" in the settings section of ECMDroid

Hope that helps!

I'm constantly baffled when using a pc.

rb70383: Thats why you can never find exact step-by-step directions I was using a super cheap tablet I bought for $32 to exclusively use for ECMDroid. It had a real crappy touch interface as well, so it would do different things every time. AGGRAVATING!!
It has been pleasant with the Android burner phone. I got it for free from AT&T, no SIM, no contract, no $ but will work for ECMDroid everywhere and even make calls, e-mails when in WiFi (which is dang heart everywhere now and much easier to throw in my pocket for datalogging.

outthere: Tortally, I used to be PC because I didn't want to spend the $$ for Mac and have to learn something new. Finally did that about 2009 and haven't looked back since! I'm no fanboy, Apple has their share of quirks as well, but I just had to recover a bunch of data from an old PC of mine and holy hair pulling! Open the same 10 dialog boxes in a row, every time, to do the same thing. 10 times. UGH.
