    Default Error $050b

    I am trying to test an Autocal before sending it to a customer and I keep keeping that error. I have every updated to the newest firmware and boot loader as far as I know.

    $050b error indicates the script file is not supported by the current firmware version. I don't have an AutoCal ... but if it responds to Bootblock / Firmware updates similarly to the V2 ... after some updates you need to reprogram certain features in the device ... often the "Option.txt" file in the V2. Also, confirm you have updated V7.5 and V8 to the latest versions - so that these are compatible with the AutoCal update.

    Hopefully this at least points you in the right direction ... no direct experience with an AutoCal.

    Prior to the update we released a few hours ago there was a bug that caused the script files to not get updated automatically.
    If you don't have access to upgrade right now, you can force the scripts to get updated by using the drop down option: "Program ALL Required data (Slower)" on the [Program] button's drop down menu.
    That will force the script files to get updated.

    That's what I did. I did that before today's update though. I just updated to today's update and am going to try it again.

    I'm having the same error. I've done all the updates, formated the system, programmed all data and still the $050B error when trying to read a tune. What should I look at now?

    BTW, I have the V2 and the firmware and bootblock are up to date.

    If you use "Program ALL Data" and the scripts are still not being updated on the FLashScan/AutoCal device it is most likely that the scripts on the PC (that are being copied to the device) are also out of date. (i.e. they were not updated to the latest versions during the install).
    To force the script to get updated, delete the entire folder:
    \Program Files\EFILive\V8 (on 32 bit Windows)
    or
    \Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8 (on 64 bit Windows)
    Then re-install* the V8 software, then clicking on the [Program] button should update the files on your FlashScan device.


    * On Vista and Win7, right click on the downloaded file and select "Run as administrator".

    Nope, doesnt work.

    I deleted the directories before and reinstalled and it didnt work but this time I ran is as the admin and still no joy.

    Can I verify the correct files on the V2?

    Check relevant the *.obj files in the folder:
    \Program Files\EFILive\V8\Config\
    Open one of them using Notepad and look for the version number, it should show as 8.02.35 (which matches firmware V2.07.13)
    (See image).
    IMPORTANT, whatever you do, do not modify the *.obj files using notepad and do not try to save the file using notepad. It will corrupt the file.
