You need to get 7.5.5 build 84. And download 8.1.2.Originally Posted by Kurtomac
You'll need to update your firmware too.
~Erik~
2013 Sonic RS Manual - 1.4L I4T E78, tuned, turbo mods, etc.
2008 TrailBlazer SS 3SS AWD Summit White - LS2 E67/T42, bolt ons, suspension, etc.
2002 Chevy TrailBlazer LT 4X4 Summit White - 4.2L I6 P10, lifted, wheels, etc.
Do steps 3 and 4:
Start EFILive Explorer (EE) and go to the Firmware tab and see what bootblock and firmware versions it says, report back here.You will need to download the V7.5 and V8 software from here (two downloads):
http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=124
Then:
1. install V7.5 from the above downloads;
2. install V8 from the above downloads;
3. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V7.5->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;
4. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;
just tried 3 and 4 as you stated....says the efilive update server can not be contacted that it can possibly be down for up updates and whatnot....guess i'll try again in a min...so i need to do the firmware on my handheld again? maybe this will fix my problem, everytime i connected my serial cable i had to set it up to take ser pid's and selected innovate every time because it wouldnt save those changes
btw looked in the firmware tab and all are blank no data
but if i click the folder in the top left named firmware it says FsProgV2_05_20.efw and another file ACProgV2_05_20.efw
and bootblock i have 2 files as well
ACBootV2_05_08.efw
FSBootV2_05_08.efw
I never used the 8.1 dont even know what its for...i just updated my firmware a while back so i could use my serial lc1 cable and went on my way of doing things the old way...anyone care to explain?
In order to see firmware version you have to have V2 connected by USB to Computer and then open EE (EFILive Explorer) .
AC is Auto Cal device
FS is Flash Scan device (V2)
2005 1500 HD , Custom OS3 SD tune .
2006 Trailblazer
Dinosaurs and Plants gave their lives so that we may drive , long live fossil fuel .
Is your Windows firewall blocking you...?
Do this:
- save your tune files someplace,
- uninstall V7.5 and V8,
- download V7.5 and V8 from the downloads page at www.efilive.com,
- install the new V7.5 and V8,
- do steps 3 and 4:
3. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V7.5->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;
4. Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Tools->Check For New Update and follow the prompts, wait for it to finish updating;
Then:
+1 on what Chevy366 said... V2 must be connected to PC...
Then start EE, goto Firmware tab, read off the versions for bootblock and firmware, post those here.
V8 is currently used for:
- updating the V2 bootblock/firmware (bb/fw),
- doing black box logging.
See attached document, it will indicate how to get bb/fw upto date...
