EFILive V7.5 Hanging When Starting Up or Shutting Down

[Blacky]

Some EFILive customers have reported that if FlashScan V2 is connected to the computer when starting the EFILive V7.5 Tuning Tool the green progress meter gets part way across and then hangs, or that when exiting the V7.5 Scan Tool the software hangs and will not close. The customers have also reported that disconnecting FlashScan from the computer's USB port will unfreeze the software and allow it to continue.

The following table is a list of the configurations that have been reported to EFILive on which the problem occurs.



Make Type CPU OS Bits USB

Lenovo Laptop Intel Win7 64 3.0
HP Pavilion Laptop AMD Vista 64 2.0
HP G62 Notebook AMD Win7 64 2.0
Asus Desktop AMD XP 32 2.0
Acer Laptop AMD Win7 64 3.0
HP Laptop AMD Win7 64 3.0
HP Desktop AMD Win8 64 2.0
If you are experiencing the hanging problem described above and your computer details are not listed (or are incomplete) in the list above, please post the details in this thread or send them to me via private message (to blacky).
We are working with FTDIChip (the company that makes the USB components for FlashScan) to try and resolve the issue. The more information we can gather the sooner we can determine the cause of the problem and then a solution.

Update June: 06, 2013
FTDI have suggested trying the following work around:

First connect FlashScan to a USB 2.0 port on the same machine - it can then be moved to a USB 3.0 port. (Note: USB 2.0 ports are usually black, USB 3.0 ports are blue).
Updating the host controller driver may also help.
Windows 8 should not have this problem since it uses a Microsoft supplied driver.

Please try the top two options and report back the success or failure in this thread.
Also if anyone is using Win8 and has the hanging problem , please report that.

Update on the detail of my machine

make :ASUS
Type : Desktop
CPU : AMD
OS : windows XP Pro
BIT: 32
USB : 2.0

[Chavez91]

Make: HP
Type: Desktop
CPU: AMD
OS: Windows 8
BIT: 64
USB: 2.0

It will hang about half way through the green meter about 90% of the time... Usually just unplug the v2 and it finishes. Very rarely does it load the green bar all the way with no issues.

Updating the host driver...where is that located?

[Blacky]

Updating the host driver...where is that located?

On the Windows Start menu Right click on "My Computer" (XP) or "Computer" (Vista/7) and select Properties.
Then (for XP only: select [Hardware] tab page then) click on "Device Manager".
Expand the Universal Serial Bus item and right click on the USB Host Controller entry/entries and select "Update Driver".
You should be connected to the Internet so that Windows can search its online driver database.


Or search the chip set manufacturer's web site for updated drivers.
For example I did a search on Intel's web site for the three keywords: driver usb host
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html?context=767188&tab=767193&keyword=driver%20usb%20host
And got back a number of links, however all the links were for USB 3.0 host controllers. Effectively telling me that there is no updated driver for the USB 2.0 host controller on my system.

No driver updates avail from Device Manager or HP's site...all USB 3.0 drivers

How can I un-update ( I know, it's not a word) the firmware so I can go back to the last revision that worked. Am in dire need of my setup......

You can't downgrade the firmware. What part of your setup is not available due to the hanging issue?
If you disconnect FlashScan and then reconnect it the software will start up.

It is telling us in the About, "License: Commercial Scan&Tune as well as Restricted to: Personal Scan&Tune (no cable)" so we can't perform a write entire. If we load a normal calibration file the Read and Write Calibration icons in the upper tool bar are lit, but not the Write Entire. If we try and load a Custom OS (which is how we found the problem), none of the 3 icons are lit in the tool bar....

Also if you try and flash a calibration, the setup hangs at Auto Detect Interface....The entire computer hangs and when you try and close the window, the response is "EFI Live not responding" and either remove the cable or you have to restart the PC to get out of it.

Yes, pulling the cable allows the software to startup, but the above is the result. Also if you monitor Device Manager you see the EFI Live USB added and removed as you insert/disconnect the cable. Also if you check the status it says device is operating ok.

To stop the hang and restricted issue, we perform a System recovery to the point prior to the upgrade (before the FDTI upgrades) and the cable restriction goes away, but of course the latest firmware isn't compatible with that build.

Really need some help by Monday...know you guys are working hard to fix this. Just want to get back to the old setup until you work out the issues.

Thanks,

I'm still trying to figure out if the current firmware will still work with that version, meanwhile...

The calibration-only-flash and the full-flash options are available in version 8 of the EFILive software. I recommend using them instead of the V7 flashing options. The V8 options are more advanced and more stable.

Also from your message above, does the V7 software only hang when you load a custom OS? Or does it hang no matter what file you are loading?
Does it still hang if you remove the list of recently used files so that it doesn't try to load any file at start-up? File->Recent files->Clear file list

If it only hangs when a certain file is open, can you please send me a copy of that file? (send to paul@efilive.com)

Had to head out. Will try the version 8 recommendation tomorrow am.

It hangs on the startup even with the recent file list cleared. After you pull the cable and it completes the startup, subsequent files seem to open ok. However at no time do you ever remove the Restricted to: Personal Scan&Tune mode in the About file so no write entire are enabled.

Thanks and look forward to you answer on the V7 software/firmware answer.

Thank you,

Ed M

[mowton]

Also, the V8 Full Flash software for the LS1B has a disclaimer before you execute the full flash about the TPS out of range not being detected and you must re-save the file prior to flashing or you may render the LS1B PCM inoperative. Do I have to resave the Custom OS file prior to the flash?

Thanks,

I am having the same problem I was running version 7.5 with no problems then I had to update to version 8 and update the bootblock and firmware in order to flash a tune from Rob Coddens in a kodiak now I can not do anything v7.5 freezes 1/3 of the way when stating loading calibration definitions. I use a sony with windows 7. Ive tried deleting the older version of v7.5 that I was running and downloaded the newer 7.5 with no luck.

Thanks, Stuart

The attached firmware has been modified to allow it to operate with older versions of the V7 software.
Specifically it will allow connections to V7 from build 230 to build 237 inclusive.
Use the V8 EFILive_Explorer program to reprogram this firmware into your FlashScan device.

Warning:
I can't be 100% certain that using the older V7 software with this latest (modified) firmware will work as expected.
Using old and out dated software will expose you to problems that have been fixed in the latest build.
Please see this page for a list of differences between V7.5.7.230 and the latest release.

Thanks Paul, quick question, is this FW considered an upgrade from the original build 235 FW. Would there be any reason we would have to go "back" to the original build 235 FW release? Also is there a plan to correct the issues with the 235 build to get it to operate with your latest FW above?

All is working well now. Went back to build 230 with the firmware that paul posted. So far so good :notacrook:

Where are we with this Paul?

Will 2.37 work with the New/Old Firmware correctly or is it better to Install 2.30 and the FW?
(been away from the tuning side of things dealing with another mechanical failure, last time I used 2.35 it was hanging on shutdown so I had to do all my edits load the file into the V2 and program from there)

If you are having problems with the latest build (237/235) and firmware (7.45), your best resolution seems to be to load the 230 software and the latest (7.46) firmware. We did and all issues were resolved (with the exception of course what the new software alleviated) and we were back in business.

I'm confident the problem is with the USB drivers, not the EFILive software. Some combination of what the V7 software is requesting the drivers to do is causing the drivers to fail. The latest USB drivers (V2.08.28) that have been shipping with the V7 and V8 software since the May 25, 2013 pre-release seems to be the culprit. Until we can figure out what that combination is, the best workaround option is explained below...

Previously (on the May 25 pre-release) I posted that you cannot downgrade the USB drivers once the software and firmware had been updated. However, issues with USB 3.0 ports meant that the new features that were not supported by the older drivers had to be removed, making the software compatible with the old drivers again. So now the latest V7 and V8 software (and FlashScan/AutoCal firmware) should operate normally while still using the old drivers.

The currently released V7 and V8 software should continue to function properly while using the old V2.08.14 drivers that shipped with versions of the EFILive software prior to May 25. The simplest/best solution for anyone with the V7 hanging issue is to install the latest V7 and V8 software and FlashScan/AutoCal firmware (which will install the new V2.08.28 USB drivers), then downgrade the drivers to V2.08.14

Unfortunately, the EFILive_USBManager application that ships with the latest EFILive software will refuse to downgrade the USB drivers if it detects that "V8 build 225" or later, or "V7 build 231" or later is installed.

I have posted an updated version of the USB Manager program that will let you upgrade/downgrade the USB drivers if you have the latest software installed (that is compatible with both old and new drivers).

Updated USB Manager program available here: http://download.efilive.com/Software/V8/EFILive_USBManager.zip

Download it and unzip it into the folder:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8 (on 32-bit machines)
or
\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8 (on 32-bit machines)
overwrite the existing EFILive_USBManager.exe file.

Late to the show here, but I am having the hang up on my Sony Vaio. Windows 7 64 bit, AMD Vision

Downgrading works..but REALLY slow to finish progress bar. Still a step in the right direction.

[tddmatt]

I downloaded the firmware and build 230 this fixed my problem for 2 weeks then its back to the hanging issue without making any changes. I tried downloading build v7.5 235 and downgrading the usb drivers with no luck.

[comnrailpwr]

Is it hanging on you guys all the time or just when v2 is plugged in? Mine only hangs when v2 is plugged in. Unplug v2 from USB port and tune tool instantly starts up. I then plug in v2. It will not hang at all for me with v2 plugged in if I have v8 scan and tune or efi explorer opened up with the little flashscan icon having the green checkmark in it.

[tddmatt]

Any suggestions I really need to get it going by the weekend?

You said "without making any changes", did you maybe re-install V7 or V8? Performing any install or re-install will update the drivers to the latest version. Downgrading the drivers again can be problematic because Windows "hates downgrading drivers". It always tries to install the "latest and greatest" driver set that it knows about. I recommend uninstalling the drivers using the program:\
C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\Drivers\Utilities\Remove FDTI USB Drivers\CDMuninstallerGUI.exe
Enter the following four Product IDs: E4A0, E4A1, E4A2 and E4A3 like this:
15586
Then click [Remove Devices].
Note: Some messages about unable to remove one or more of those ID's may be displayed.

Then reconnect FlashScan and Windows should fail to install the drivers since there are no drivers on your system anymore.
Right click "Computer" and select Properties, then open Device Manager and expand the USB group and locate FlashScan, right click it and select Install Driver and choose to browse for the driver files.
Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\Drivers\EFILive\Win-XP-Vista-7 and install the drivers from there.

Downgrading works..but REALLY slow to finish progress bar. Still a step in the right direction.

It could be that EFILive is searching for multiple cable types before finding the correct cable. You could try setting the exact cable type that you have in the EFILive Scan Tool to force EFILive (both scan and tune) to only search for the cable you have.
For example, if you have a FlashScan V2 cable only (and don't need to scan for other cable types) you should have it set like this:
15596

Note: The V7 Tune Tool must not be running when you make the change. You also need to close the Scan Tool to cause the changes to be saved prior to re-starting the tune tool.

v2.02.04 driver works like a charm thanks Paul! :D

I tried down grading the drivers on my computer everything said it was successful, but had no luck fixing the issue. The fix i did find was downgrading the firmware once again everytime the flashscan hangs.

Did you go right back to the 04 driver?

I tried the 14 set and it was the same.
