April 2021, V8.3.5 RC 2

Release Candidate 2

This version of the EFILive software and firmware is a release candidate. That means it has successfully completed beta testing and may be used in production environments.
The "Check for Updates" options in the V7.5 and V8 software have not been activated yet. They will be activated when the release is promoted to a full public release.

The current public release is available here.

Attention:
V7.5 no longer supports installation to Windows XP or Windows Vista. This change is due to SHA1 having been deprecated by digital certificate authorities. More info on SHA1
V7.5 and V8 are now only supported on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

WARNING:
Due to the new security/encryption option in this release, all tune files saved using V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 of the software or V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 of the firmware will no longer be compatible with older versions of the V7 or V8 software. If you distribute tune files to other users (i.e. your customers), the recipients must be:

using version V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 or a later version of the software.
using version V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 or a later version of the firmware.

Known Issues:

Issue #1:
Importing JTAG E86B files may result in a Boot Software segment checksum error.
Workaround:None.
Don't flash imported files with checksum errors. Don't use the EFILive software to correct checksum errors for the E86B imported files as that does not fix the underlying cause of the checksum error - it just masks the error(s) and causes additional problems.
We are working on a solution to that problem.
