    Default Corrupted files?

    After a pc restart, unknown bin file format warning pops up. I can open the stock tune and others just not the last 4 modified files that I have saved. Also tried to compare the latest tune to stock and no dice.
    Any ideas?

    That file is corrupted. The data contained in it is not valid EFILive data.
    Can you tell me what version of EFILive V7.5 the corrupt files were modified/saved with?
    Can you send me a file that can be opened, that when modified and saved can no longer be opened?

    Regards
    Paul

    Version V7.5.10.323
    M10 file is the one that went corrupt. M5 I can still open. The HD stock is the original downloaded file.

    Since this has happend, I've updated to the beta software and firmware versions. Unable to open files so I'm going to consider those gone.

    I think I can see what the problem is. When opening M10 I get an error like this (I presume you did also):
    Click image for larger version.

    Which then saved a copy of the invalid file into a file called BadFileFormat.ctz. Unfortunately due to the previous issue it could not save the correct data to BadFileFormat.ctz and that file (when you sent it to me) appeared far more corrupt than the original problem in M10 which was just "Invalid Floating Point Value".

    That "Invalid Floating Point Value" problem may be an issue with the EFILive calibration definition for that operating system. We are investigating, your files may still be salvageable. I will post an update in this thread as soon as I find out.

    Paul, thanks for the effort. You rock!

    Just for fun, i downloaded the calibration from the vehicle and still giving bad file format. I've been doing some test with cam timing and such and haven't had very good results. For the time being I will reflash with the stock file minus torque mgmt.

    I've posted a new set of E78 calibration definitions that fix the floating point fault.
    See "Known Issue #3" in the first post of this thread.
