June 2021, V8.3.7 Public Release

[Blacky]

Public Release - Update 2

The current public release (which is the same as this release) is available here.

Attention:

V7.5 no longer supports installation to Windows XP or Windows Vista. This change is due to SHA1 having been deprecated by digital certificate authorities. More info on SHA1
V7.5 and V8 are now only supported on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

WARNING:

Due to the new security/encryption option in this release, all tune files saved using V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 (or later) of the software or V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 (or later) of the firmware will no longer be compatible with older versions of the V7 or V8 software.
If you distribute tune files to other users (i.e. your customers), the recipients must be:

• using version V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 or a later version of the software.
  
• using version V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 or a later version of the firmware.

Known Issues:

Issue #1:

PID validation in the V8 Scan Tool hangs and does not validate PIDs.

Workaround: None.

Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue #2:

Importing JTAG E86B files may result in a Boot Software segment checksum error.

Workaround: None.

Don't flash imported files with checksum errors. Don't use the EFILive software to correct checksum errors for the E86B imported files as that does not fix the underlying cause of the checksum error - it just masks the error(s) and causes additional problems.
We are working on a solution to that problem.

The EFILive Team
