Updating-V2-firmware-bootblock
I got to step D on page 3, and I accidentally installed the newest V8 firmware before the new boot block. Now my V2 box isn't recognized by computer or truck. When I plug it into computer the leds flash left to right then right to left and that's it. I can't see it in explorer or scan and tune V7.5 or V8. What should I do?
Can you unplug the USB cable, and then re-plug it.
Do the amber/orange LEDs flash alternately continuously...?
SoCal Diesel tech figured it out. Had to reinstall the previous firmware, then update in the correct order. Phew...was worried I messed the thing up royally. Thanks!
I have an older Flashscan (license issue date is March 2008).
The Firmware reported in EFILive 7.5 is 2.4.70.
I assume that "2.4.70" is the same as 2.04.xx as listed in the "Upgrading FlashScan.pdf"
because I see that in this older post the versions are referred to as V2.4.xx & V2.5.xx, etc.
Also, the "Upgrading FlashScan.pdf" states that:
"If FlashScan has boot block V2.04.xx or earlier, please perform these steps:
1. Program firmware V2.04.72.
2. Use FlashScan’s menu option to upgrade the boot block to V2.05.08.
3. Program firmware V2.05.21
4. Go to step D..."
But although I've search on those version numbers, I can't find the firmware update that old.
I assume that even firmware updates that old are still part of the V8 installer, correct?
But where can I find the installers that have these older firmware versions ?
Thanks!

Yes, 2.4.70 and 2.04.70 are the same.
No... 2.4.72 comes with V7.5 (as explained it that pdf).Also, the "Upgrading FlashScan.pdf" states that:
"If FlashScan has boot block V2.04.xx or earlier, please perform these steps:
1. Program firmware V2.04.72.
2. Use FlashScan’s menu option to upgrade the boot block to V2.05.08.

4. Go to step D..."

Look in folder C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5
you will see these files:
- FSProg_V2_4_72.ffw <--- this is the firmware 2.4.72
- EFILive_FIrmware.exe <--- this is the programming tool for it
