    boot block version OK, firmware update froze in the middle with $0101 error (no data received). now can only connect in dead poll mode. firmware update always freezes 1/5 of the way through if i try to update in dead poll mode. screenshoot attached. what do i do fix this? windows 7 x64.

    After it freezes, unplug the V2 - does the software unfreeze? If so, save a trace file (on the [F8: Trace] tab page) and send it to me at paul@efilive.com

    yeah, the update doesn't freeze per se, progress bar just stops and $0101 error window pops up. then i have to dead poll start the box to get it recognized. rinse, repeat, same thing. i will try to install the software and update firmware tomorrow on another machine (that one is dual boot W7/XP so i can try both OSs). if that fails i will email a trace. thank you.

    I am having similar issues with my V2. I just updated to the Nov. 7th V8 and V7 release and tried to update firmware and boot block on V2. Now the blue light stays lit and screen reads EfiLive flashscan V2. It will not update
    boot block and does not recognize current firmware or boot block. What am I missing? Current Firmware version 2.05.21 Sept. 25 2008 and boot block version 2.05.04 Oct. 16 2007 on V2.
    When I unplug usb cable and plug it back in it says Boot block has been upgraded license will be upgraded now, click ok an It then says Upgrade completed successfully.

    What did you do...?

    Firmware/bootblock hasn't changed despite saying it was updated.
    I downloaded latest release V8 and V7 onto laptop, then attempted to update bootblock. Now v2 is basically unrecognized.

    The firmware/boot block never changed despite saying it was updated. Firmware 2.05.21 and boot block 2.05.04.
    I downloaded the latest release of the V8 and V7 software, then attempted to update the boot block. V2 is basically unrecognized now.
