Are you using V7.5 or V8? What type of ECM or TCM are you trying to flash?

[05dirty]

i was using the v7 software i guess since its a v8 compressed tune file should i use the v8? another question is there any way i can actually tune with the v8 software and the ecm is the ls1b gen 3 98 threw 08

Are you logged into your Windows with administrator rights...?


What V7 and V8 software build versions do you have...?

What V2 firmware version...?


Correct, from V7 save the file as .ctz.

V7 is for editing the tune file; V8 is for reading/flashing.

sorry i hope u guys can bare with me this is literally my first flash i have performed

[joecar]

File->Save Tuning File As and select .ctz as the file type (if the file is not already of that type).

When V7 or V8 says it can't save a file, it means you're logged into Windows with insufficient privileges/rights, so Windows won't allow EFILive (being run by you the logged-in user) write the license backup file to your PC's hard disk.
