    Default BB Logging Update Jan 07, 2008

    Make sure you have EFILive V7.5 Scan and Tune software packages installed and up to date:Download:The ReadMe_First.rtf file has been updated with the list of new features/options in this release.

    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 one new firmware file:
    FSProgV2_05_15(0107).efw that you must program into FlashScan, using the programming option in EFILive_Explorer.

    The version numbers of the firmware files will not change between now and the final beta version. That means you will be able to re-program older firmware files during the remainder of the beta test period. The date of the firmware file will continue to be updated and it will provide the only true "version" reference and should be quoted when you post problems with any particular firmware "version"

    Regards

    Correct me if I am wrong... is this a proper/fool proof way to cleanly update a V2 that already has the new bootblock?

    1. Unzip the .zip into <installdir>\EFILive\V8\EFILive_Hapi
    2. Plug in my V2
    3. Start EE
    4. Click on the Firmware tab, and open the latest firmware file.
    5. Click PROGRAM
    6. When the V2 reboots, I format the data file space using the V2 menu.
    7. I then format the config file space with EE.
    8. I then copy all the PMM files to the Config space.
    9. I then copy the Option.ini file to the Config space.
    10. Reboot the V2.
    11. Double check settings in the V2 menus.
    12. Connect to my car.
    13. Turn on ignition and attempt to BBL.

    Anything I am doing wrong?

    Can you manually save a trace file after you try and log data. Use the Save trace file option in the Scan Tool Options menu. And send the trace file to me at paul@efilive.com

    Try reversing the order of those two steps.

    i.e. turn on ignition, then plug FlashScan into your car. If the ignition is off when you connect, FlashScan can't do its automatic protocol/node detection. In the latest version of FlashScan you can force a protocol/node detection using Ctrl+Ok. I.e. press Ctrl+Ok if you've alreay plugged in FlashScan before turning on the ignition.

    However, if the protocol is showing as -VPW-01- in the bottom right cornerm that means FlashScan has detected the VPW protocol and 1 node (the PCM).

    Guess I won't be much help. I haven't had any problems bb logging and just used the latest firmware 15(0107) with no problem on my '01 Corvette 6-speed running COS5, which is based on 12212156.

    Please delete all files in the Config tab page and copy in the files in the attached Config.zip file. These files have been copied "as is" from one of the test FlashScan units here. That unit has been tested to log data on an LS1 correctly.

    When you press F1 Record Data, does the screen display the PIDs but with no data, or does it just sit ot the F1 Log Data screen without changing?

    In this ZIP file is the trace file that was created when i selected Save Trace File from the Options menu on the V2. I emailed it to you as well as requested.

    I don't know is anybody else ran into this problem but when I download V811 019 15 (0107).ZIP into EFILive V8 a HAPI Subfolder is not created. With all the other Zip downloads this folder was created when the folder was unzipped?

    My mistake sorry. I created the zip file without including the EFILive_Hapi folder. I will correct the zip file.

    Thanks for pointing it out.
