I can't find any solid info for what ECU selection to use for a '16 Focus ST; anyone know?

You'll need to download and install the latest beta. The current official version doesn't recognize the ecu automatically like usual. Same issue I had with my car. TC1767A is the proper ecu type, but try via the beta first.
I tried it in Beta but it didn't recognize the ECU there either; I think I was using the 1797 so I'll try the 1767A and see if that works. Thanks!
No on 1767A; with that I get controller initialization failure.
This is RIDICULOUS; I spent hours dealing with tech support today to finally get the program updated and before dealing with the Checksum error they cutoff the communication and where gone. Now I have to wait until maybe noon again tomorrow to hear back so I can try and get this vehicle functioning.
Ok; update here. Flashed the car to the newest ford update with our J-Box. Going to see if this works; if not then I’m going to try and flash it with the “as delivered” software and hope that locally HP based their definitions off the older software. So far TC-1797 works best.
Yeah with the checksum error, you have to send in that file along with your info log of your device. That's what fixed it for me after they released a new beta.
That's what worked for me. It took them about a week for my definition to be valid. Once I got the email reply, I dload Ed the latest beta, hooked everything up and voila.
Yeah I was kinda surprised that it didn't just link up and do it's thing like GM vehicles.
We typically list an application once we know we've been able to support a majority of the controllers in that application. Sometimes however the OEM releases a new calibration we don't catch or you have a rarely used strategy and we don't have it.
Your application will indeed be TC1797.
Once you have a read, send it in and we'll try to get it added as quick as we can!
If its not broke, just give it time.
Sorry for the obvious frustration but I'm still in the same boat; got an email from Corey Clayton to go ahead and download the newest Beta and try it only to get the same issue. Please...help...

If there is any way you can look into it and let me know whats going on I would be most appreciative. Is it possible when I did the J2534 update it screwed things up as they where building a map for the original software and not the most updated software? I can send in a read of the latest software if that helps.
It appears your original read was OS GMDG2, which is what was added as it was new to us. When you updated with J2534, you moved to GMDG3, which is even newer and we don't yet have. I've moved it directly into our queue and shortcut the process some for you. Hopefully we can have it added today or tomorrow for you!
