Instructions have been updated, see attached Readme_First.rtf file


If you have already upgraded to the new BB logging bootblock, then you do not need to (in fact you cannot) upgrade the bootblock again. Once it has been done you only need to update the V2.05.xx firmware if/when new firmware is released.


There is new firmware that you must program into FlashScan using the programming option in EFILive_Explorer.
The new firmware now allows you to edit the settings here: F4->F2->F3
Each setting can be adjusted using the left and right arrow keys, or the Ctrl+left and Ctrl+right for larger changes.
Use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to set the max and min values respectively.
Use Ctrl+Backspace to revert settings to factory defaults. (You can also revert to factory defaults by deleting the Settings.dat file from FlashScan's [Config] tab page.



There is a typo in the Readme_First.rft file in step 3 of the
Upgrade the FlashScan firmware to V2.4.69 option, it says:

Load the FlashScan Firmware File:
\Program Files\EFILive\V7\FSProg_V2_4_68.ffw
it should say
Load the FlashScan Firmware File:
\Program Files\EFILive\V7\FSProg_V2_4_69.ffw

Firmware-Ugrade worked ...

One minor bug: in Date/Time setup, cursor up/down while day is blinking changes the month ... and vice-versa ... at least when locale is set to non-USA ...

Thanks Paul. I think today will be my first chance to get V2 on a PCM since the beta started.

When setting the date and time, up arrow decends, down arrow accends - feels counter intuitive.

Used the set-up option within V2 to change my splash screen time from 500ms to 5000ms and had no visible effect.

Havent been able to log yet but i can comment on the splash screen. The delay does work for me!
1.8secs is nice enough to put up a pic of some HP Sauce being peed on.

Can't update FlashScan firmware through FlashScan Programmer .
The unit has a hard time going into "dead-poll mode" , takes several tries holding down the "ctrl" button and once it does go into dead-poll mode FS programmer will not see it (two orange LEDs flashing) , says unit is not in dead-poll mode .
And some times it locks at flash screen when not holding ctrl button .
Tried several times , got frustrated and tried the BBL firmware update , worked no problem .
Everything else seems to function just the flash screen hang and no going into dead-poll mode , have not tried BBL with it again yet .
Should have waited did not see it was for December 1 , 1007 . :-)

If you already have the new boot loader, you don't need dead poll anymore ...

Can you please explain .
Because when I do it , the Programmer Software states it has to be in "dead-poll" mode to do the update .
You do realize there are two (2) different firmware updates ?
1. Is for the FS (this one not working)
2. Is for the BBL (this one did work)

Thanks Gil
