Hello Paul,

Builds 211 / 202 addressed the LS1-B issue that had presented itself with builds 210/ 201 - works great now.

Thank you for the very quick roll out of the patch / next build version of the software.


Cheers,
Taz

Now can't flash ls1b with v7.5
Which not much explanation of what the problem is I can't really offer much help, but...
Have you tried installing the old USB drivers using: Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->EFILive USB Manager

FYI
V7 works better with the older drivers.
V8 works with both drivers, but may "blue screen" with the old drivers when multiple FTDI USB devices are connected.

I could flash them until this last update. V7.5 will give the boot loader error like I was getting with ls1a before update. I can flash ls1b only with v8. I haven't tried ls1a since update but have one this week to do.

Thank you Paul for all your work on the update! I installed all of it as soon as it came out and have already used it. V8 works great, but I did get a bootloader error in V7 trying to read an LS1b. I ended up reading it with V8, making changes in V7, then flashing with V8 just to be safe since the read failed.

For anyone experiencing read/flash issues.

Please make sure you have the latest V8 software installed - which includes the latest firmware for your FlashScan device.
Once you have that software installed, click on the [Check Firmware] button to check (and update) the firmware on your FlashScan device.

You must have software: V8.2.1 build 203 as shown in the image below.
You must have firmware: V2.07.35 as shown in the image below.

Install V7 build 211 and V8 build 203;

then if your firmware is older refer to that pdf;

else if your V2 firmware is 2.07.xx it is an easy matter of flashing in the new bootblock and new firmware...

and then you have to edit the BBx config and program it to your V2 (V8 S&T software, F5: BBx, Scan/Tune/DTC).

Took a second look today and it looks like it is a bug AND my bad.

Even though all my settings are supposed to be imperial, the speed limiter is still in KPH.

Thanks for taking a look at that code to fix that for the next release.

Also worth mentioning is that when you use the EFILIVE tire resize tool it does not affect the correct parameters for the E38.
NOT included in the changes but should be are:
H0105
H0135

Thanks!

Which calibration? H0129?
Do you mean it displays 155mph in the software, but in reality it is limiting the real speed of the vehicle to 155km/h?

Thanks!

The main purpose of the speedo calculator is not to make the dashboard speedo read correctly. The speedo calculator is to make sure the ECM knows what speed the vehicle is doing.
Once the ECM knows what speed the vehicle is doing it then uses H0105 to generate the appropriate number of pulses per mile that the dashboard speedometer gauge requires.
For example, say the gauge needs 1000 pulses per mile, you'd set H0105 to 1000. If the ECM computes the vehicle's speed at 50mph (based on the various speedo calculator settings) then it will transmit 50,000 pulses per hour (1000 pulses x 50 miles).

If the ECM's speed was not calibrated correctly and it "thought" the vehicle was doing 25mph when in fact the real speed was 50mph, then you could fool the speedo into displaying the correct value by doubling H0105 to 2000.
That means the ECM would still be transmitting 50,000 pulses per hour and the gauge would be fooled into displaying 50mph which would look correct on the gauge but it would still be wrong in the ECM. All the other calculations that rely on the vehicle's speed would be computed incorrectly. What I'm getting at is, you need to make the ECM's internal speed correct, then you can adjust H0105 to suit the dashboard gauge.

As for H0135, you should not need to adjust that if H0136 and H0139 are consistent with each other and correct for the tires fitted to the vehicle.

That "theory" I've posted above is based on what we can "figure out" about how the speedo system works. If our theory is wrong (and for some ECMs it could be wrong) then what I've said above may not be 100% correct. GM have changed their speedo strategy multiple times over multiple ECM updates and many times the old calibrations are left in the ECM but are not used. So figuring out which ECM uses what calibrations for what is very difficult.

Paul

H0129 through H0161 display in metric no matter what, no option for display in imperial.

Good to know the theory behind it, but I'm sure you'll have a lot of customers scratching their heads trying to get the dial correct like I did the first time around. Might want to at least add a comment in the description.

H0135 was making a truck with (much) larger tires waver speed on the highway on cruise control. Set it at 75MPH and it would drop to 70 and then overcompensate. Adjusting it got it to hold one speed constantly. This was a 2011 truck IIRC.

Thanks again!

Scary timing, have you got spies inside EFILive?

We've been working 24x7 getting a whole bunch of new features ready. Just yesterday I built the first beta (since June) to be tested internally by EFILive (i.e. Ross, Andrew and Myself). If that all checks out ok, then external beta testing will be starting this week. I'd expect a publicly available update to be ready around end of Oct.

I have my VIN .vml and .vpl files that I have used in the past to copy to a computer that has never been connected to the vehicle to fool the PC that it has, so it will validate my PID's and I can create charts and such to review logs. I can't remember what location I copied them to. Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, SP1

But, if I do not have a log open, or did not log the pids I am wanting to create charts for in the future, it will not show the PID's in the PID tab.

I get the message (and have since I owned EFILive) that when my EFILive tried to auto update, it will now connect to the server. Evertime I am in solid internet connection. I have EFILive setup to auto update check on its own.
For the record, I have the older Flash Scan V1 Controller (small box, no LCD, button and few LEDs).
My Softwares is v7.5.4 (build 64)

Should I download and manually get V8 or V7.5..7 ?
Do I need to manually update the one I have to a later build first? Kinda thought I saw you need build 211 or so first. But I cannot find how to manually update that since my auto update obviously isnt cooperating

Thank you in advance!

The V8 Scan Tool software will be available in the next update. Some of the more interesting and important features of the new Scan Tool software are:
1. Ability to search the log file (forwards/backwards) for user defined points of interest (e.g. "Knock>0 and TPS<20").
2. Easy to use data filters.
3. Fully integrated calculated PIDs - no more manually editing the calc_pids.txt file.
4. Insanely fast load/display times. V8 loads a 300,000 frame log file (3 hours of E38 logging) in about 2-3 seconds. V7 takes over a minute to load just 100,000 frames.
5. OpenGL support for even faster chart display (http://www.opengl.org/)
6. More accurate chart data display - shows all peaks and valleys no matter what zoom level is used.
7. Documented log file format to allow easy read/write file access to third party applications.
8. Copy/Paste data to Excel.

I am hoping to have a pre-release ready this week. It was supposed to be last week but some problems were uncovered during testing and they are still being fixed.

I'll try and post some screen shots later today (if I get time)...

Will the pre release be a release candidate like previous versions or just for the beta team?

It will be a public pre-release, for use in non-production environemnts (i.e. in test environments only, don't use it on customer's vehicles or where failure cannot be tolerated).

Great, can't wait to get a sneak peek. From the teasers I've seen it looks exciting. Joe

The public pre-release will be posted in this forum on Feb 1st, 2013.

Because it is a pre-release we recommend using it in a test environment only and not in a production environment or where failure cannot be tolerated.
So if you intend to download and install the pre-release, please do so on a system that you are not using for tuning custom vehicles.

Yay! Working with these 4-5 MB log files are killing me in V7.5, takes 30sec or longer to filter and replot the maps. Cant wait to test V8's speed!

Is that all? I've got a 46MB log from an E39! 2MB to 5MB is the norm for me and has been for quite some time.

A full flash has the option to change the seed/key (i.e. to lock the controller) during the full-flash. A cal-flash does not have that option.
Regardless of whether you select the "lock during full flash" option or not, the software will attempt to save the actual seed/key pair that is flashed into the controller during the full-flash.
The software attempts to save the seed/key pair in the file:
\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\PCMLocks.ini (win 32 bit)
or
\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\PCMLocks.ini (win 64 bit)

For security purposes, by default Win7 and Win8 operating systems prevent applications from altering files in the Program Files folder or subfolders.

To allow V7 to complete the full flash you need to tell Windows that its ok for you to update files in that folder.

On windows 7 do this (I'm not sure how to do this same change on Win8):
Right click on the \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5 folder name.
Go to properties>security tab
Click [Edit] (if you are not running as administrator and UAC is active you will need to provide the admin password at this point).
Click [Add]
Type your Windows User Name and click [Check Names], it should show your computer name and user name like this COMPUTER\user
Click OK
Make sure the newly added username is selected and check the [Full Control] check-box.
Click OK

You should now have full permission on that folder which will allow the EFILive software to write to the PCMLocks.ini file.
