Guide: How to flash the ECM with handheld: V2: BB

[joecar]

When I open this with Adobe the screen goes Black and just the document is displayed, not like a regular pdf document. Is there someting I need to change?

Thanks.

You don't see anything like this (see pic)...?

I get that after I hit the 'Esc' key. When it first opens it looks like this. There is no Header/Toolbar.

I'm not sure why it does that... let me find out.

Have you found anything? I've compared it with other pdf documents and all the settings look the same. Am I the only one who sees this?

When I open it on my PC's, it pops up a box that says something like "Full Screen Mode?" with Yes and No buttons...

I can't find anything that describes the screen going black.

I redid the pdf using a different program, see attached, try this and let me know.

Seems to work good on my end..

That seems to have fixed it for me. It now opens just like any other pdf file.

Thanks.

Hello.

V2 here with latest builds of V8 & 7.5.6.

The PDF instructions are readable no problems.
I played with my V2 following the pages while connected to my PC and all went well until I got to the part about finding my .ctd converted tune. I find it ok on my PC, but copy & paste don't work. I click on the 'read' folder under 'tune', move to right pane of 'read' and click paste. EFIlive Explorer immediatley gives:

Error: $1085: File or Folder Not Found

If I revert out of the 'read' folder back into the 'tune' folder, that copy/paste will put the file there. Actually, a drag/drop also will do it in the 'tune' folder.

I can make new folders under 'tune', no problem there.

The error given is really caused by too long of a file name, it is not really a file not found or a folder not found. (ok...if the file name is too long i guess it can't find it?)

Apparently this is caused by the limitations of FAT16,FAT32 or whatever it is on the internal memory or SD in the BB?

I shortened my .ctd file name and it works fine in any folder that I make.

Can you also format the Data Filesystem using Explorer (after copying anything you need off of course)? I'm having no issues using the copy/paste function here.

The full pathname limit on FlashScan is 63 characters.
EFILive_Explorer should trap the fact that a file name is too long and report exactly that. It should not really report "File not found" as that is misleading.
It will be addressed in a subsequent update.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
