    Default Hypertech damage? What should I do?

    Went to put a base tune into a friend's used truck that he just bought it is a 2003 Chevy Silverado HD (LQ4 / 4L80E). It has a profile of:
    Hardware 12570558
    Operating System 12593058
    Calibration 12579403

    EFI Live read the tune from his PCM correctly and everything looked happy. After I changed a few parameters I went to write back the calibration and it said there was an error - the PCM had an incorrect serial # and it would have to have the OS flashed again.

    It previously had a Hypertech tuner that we had, and I had "restored factory settings" but maybe it overwrote something in the past that it wasn't supposed to.

    Should I try to reprogram the entire OS off his bad copy with my changes in it, or should I use one off the tune repository that might be a different OS but with the same calibration? A little at a loss here. Any input much appreciated!

    Can you (if you don't mind) post the tune that was read from the Truck.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
