I'm trying to do the procedure on the page "Upgrading FlashScan & AutoCal Bootblock and Firmware Versions" but not having any luck. I'm a complete noob at this, so bear with me, please.

I've gotten to step 4 where I'm supposed to be seeing an image of my FlashScan V2 in the FlashScan and AutoCal Device Settings screen in the bottom right corner, but I see no such thing. All I see are a row of icons representing Open, Save, Read, Program, and Close. There is an icon of the V2 in the lower right hand corner of my desktop, but when I click on that I get an error message saying "No device connected". Now I can load up v7.5 and see the V2 just fine, showing my my license numbers, but in the Scan and Tune V8, it appears that it does not recognize my V2 at all.

I'm assuming I'm just missing something obvious because this is the first time I have run this procedure. But sure would be nice to have a little "hand holding" to walk me through...

Oh, I'm running Win XP on my laptop, btw.

Hi Rich,

Try this:

Can you please try this suggestion from THIS THREAD? It basically gets you to install the old driver version to see if that resolves the issue. Please let us know the results.

Hi,
Any plans to integrate the DVT features in the V2 BB? I use the V2 almost exclusively for logging and flashing so it would be a very handy feature. Better yet; how about a droid phone mobile app for the scan tool? That would be awesome.

I get this too, but it is random and seems only to be on the 7.5 tune software.

I had this problem, I did a complete uninstall and then reinstalled the program. Never had the problem again.

Yes, but it's hard to do on an LCD like Flashscan has vs ease of use. There is other things we need to get finished off first that V2 and Autocal before DVT features.

how about a droid phone mobile app for the scan tool? That would be awesome.

Not much chance of that I'm sorry.

Check out the document that does the hand holding, it is available from the Windows Start menu:
Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Documents->Upgrading Firmware

Important: If the firmware in V2 is V2.04.71 or earlier, you must update to V2.04.72 before attempting any other firmware updates.

Yes! That helped. I think I'm on track now...

Thanks for your help.

Found a bug: Invalid pointer option.

Open V8 S&T, F5:BBX, F5: DTCs, uncheck any of the options, then Close the BBX settings. Click No when prompted to save, will return this error everytime.

Also just checked and it appears modifying any of the BBX settings and either saving or not saving the changes will give this error too.

Not able to reproduce that here - yet :(
Can you send me (paul@efilive.com) the file that is loaded when you open the BBX page? (the file name is shown in the title bar).

You need to make sure the relevant dtc description files are selected in the BBX configuration.
