As soon as we can figure out how the DTCs work in the ECM we'll add them to the editor.

oook, sorry didnt read what all was'nt available yet. thanks
Paul, just emailed you in response to post #36.
Thanks!
Even with your Options.txt file it still does not fail.
Can you please send these files:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILiveSystem.ini
\Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILiveHapi.ini
\Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILiveScanAndTune.ini
\Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILiveScanAndTuneLayout.ini
Those files hold the configuration setup for the V8 software.

Paul
Ok so is this stable as of this post or do I need to start studying the back door steps?
It's as stable as we can figure based on our testing here. Obviously there are combos/configurations out there that we have not been able to test and some of those are causing problems.
The two most important things you need to do with this current download is to take note of the two known issues listed in this thread.

Also there appears to be an as yet unidentified conflict between some users' computers and the V7.5 software and the new USB drivers.
If you find that the V7.5 software stops/hangs when starting with FlashScan connected, you may need to uninstall the new(WinXP-Vista-Win7 USB drivers and re-install the Win2K drivers. Instructions here:

I am planning on releasing an update which addresses the known issues on Tuesday.

Hmm, I just uninstalled V8 from my laptop, deleted the Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8 folder and reinstalled. Still no luck.
What registry keys does V8 use, Ill try uninstalling and deleting those too.
V8 doesn't use the registry at all. There are config files though in both the 'C:\Program Files\V8' folder (which Paul mentioned in an earlier post) and 'My Documents\EFILive\V8\Config' folder (device and PID selection settings).
Ok, well Ill try a few other things on my end and report back.
I just updated. Using v7 scantool, all go well until I try and scan, I start the scan, but no gauge movement or any data recorded. when I shut down scantool, it asks me to save the data but I have tried to do that as I assume it is not even recording.
Any ideas?
When the V7.5 software is supposed to be recording data, are the leftmost green and orange LEDs on FlashScan flashing?
Green = USB data to the PC,
Orange = OBDII data from the vehicle.
After you stop it recording (even if its recorded nothing), can you please generate an error report (File->Generate Error Report) and send it to me at paul@efilive.com.
Thanks
Paul
Good news. I deleted EFILive installed package, loaded up an older version and all was fine. May have been a bad install because when I treied to delete program, Windows would not recognize installed program.
I then reinstalled latest EFILive version and recording in scantool was fine.
Thanks for the quick response.
Cool, glad you got it going :cheers:
Sort of related...
I "retired" from driving about 2 months ago dur to increased cost vs income,
so my v2 sat unused for awhile...
Is there a way to do a complete reset to completly clear out the unit and start again?
BTW.... 7 years and over 900,000 miles and all states except Washington and Oregon.
You cannot clear out the licensing oriented stuff (we'd go broke), but you can format the Config and Data filesystems to remove all content and start again.
Not sure what you mean by reset the device, but to get it back to as close to factory setup as possible do this:
1. Download and install the latest V7.5 and V8 software from here: http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=133
2. Update your firmware to the latest firmware available, read this document: Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Documents->Upgrading Firmware
3. Format the [Config] file system using the [Format] button on the [Config] tab page of the V8 EFILive Explorer program
3a. OR to format the Config file system and clear all the config settings in one go: Power off FlashScan, wait 10 seconds, hold down the F1 key on FlashScan's keypad while powering-up FlashScan.
4. Remove any SD Card and format the [Data] file system using the FlashScan menu options: F4 Options -> F2 File System -> F3 Format File Sys.
5. Replace the SD Card (if you have one) and perform step 4 again to format the SD Card.
As Andrew said above, you cannot clear out the VIN licensing data.

Blacky,
3a is what I was looking for... Thanks
Check what files got copied to the [Config] file system using EFILive Explorer (see image).
The files should be:
gm_p.dtc
gm_b.dtc
gm_c.dtc
gm_u.dtc
for GM codes
and
ch_p.dtc
ch_u.dtc
for Chrysler codes.
Not all DTC descriptions are present in the *.dtc files so some DTCs may still show "No description".

Paul
Updated software, versions: V7.5.7.165 and V8.2.1.156 is now available.
Please see this thread for more info:

So, I should delete all the versions on my computer and download the latest one to get it to work? Do I need to delete any other files besides the shortcuts and the main folders? Thanks
Thanks. Are you referring to the latest 165 & 156? Because I had trouble with my V8 as per my earlier post in this thread. I'll try again later.
Great!!! :) thanks!
:( my FS is "unresponsive" I now have 165 & 156, and when I conncect in dead poll mode EE says no device and when I connect regular there is a check mark for USB but X for FS and it's unresponsive :( Please help!
Failing Joe's suggestion to verify the drivers perhaps also look at this page regarding USB settings. Please note that the instructions refer to a MProg application which is replaced by FT_Prog in the latest software releases.
Will try those things and report. Thank you guys!
Ok so my problem is finally fixed. I updated to boot block manually in the FS, to 2.5.x, then through EE to 2.7 and then the firmware and then the boot block again back and forth until everything was green and finally works, YAY! :) props to EFILive for designing and engineering these things to be so tough and functional, they always work good as long as your willing to put a little effort into it, even all through the years of flashing and various conditions and updating. :)
