why is my flash taking so long

[pdasterly]

full reflash takes 40 mins, whats going on with my box. before i could flash in under 4 minutes or so

[joecar]

Does it succeed...?

What happened between when it went fast and when it started going slow...?

Check that you have the "Use high speed" box checked.

[Tordne]

Might pay to send through the debug as described here (http://www.efilive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=111&Itemid=121). Perhaps your PCM has bad flash?

[pdasterly]

yes it did succed and the high speed box is checked

[mr.prick]

Didn't you have a problem with FW, is that fixed?

[pdasterly]

fixed but flash takes forever

[mr.prick]

Have you tried with a different computer?
Maybe a COM setting?

[pdasterly]

same laptop, com set to usb v2

[mr.prick]

I meant try using another laptop/PC to see if it will flash correctly.
I remember flashing my stock PCM, the 3 minutes or so it took was an eternity.
I can't imagine waiting 40mins. :throw:

[joecar]

Do what Tordne said in post #3.

Do you remember the events just prior to this happening...?

[GMPX]

40mins is bad, sounds like it is retrying multiple times to write.
What changed between it working fast before and now?

[pdasterly]

firmware and bootloader

[pdasterly]

flash of calibrations takes 5 mins, but I get an error at the end of the flash, bricking the pcm

[joecar]

Can you post the console log text...?

I pm'd Tech Support.

[pdasterly]

i sent tech support my blx files, I dont know how to view them.

[ScarabEpic22]

That to me shows an 8:21 flash...how is it 40 mins?

[pdasterly]

full reflash takes 40 mins, flash of calibrations takes 7 mins
