    Default wrong firmware and boot block

    I screwed up already... Somehow I have my Firmware ver. is 2.05.17, while my Boot Block ver. is 2.05.04.... I don't know how I managed that (well I do, but don't know what I was thinking). Even after reading the readme..

    So now I can only seem to connect to V2 with EFIlive_explorer while the V2 is in dead poll... so obviously am unable to update the boot block to the 2.05.08 which I'm not so sure would even be possible that way anyhow.... I think I done did it this time....

    Can anyone lead me in the right direction as to what I should do now...

    Thanks a bunch

    Flash in the firmware version FSProgV2_05_15(0326).efw (that matches the V2.05.04 boot block).

    Then upgrade the boot block to FSBootV2_05_08(0426).efw
    Then flash in the firmware FSProgV2_05_17(0512).efw

    All those files should be in the May 12, beta download.

    I think I need to do this but I can't find the FSProgV2_05_15(0326) file on my computer. Where can I get it to get my V2 straightened out?

    That firmware should be in the folder:
    \Program Files\EFILive\V8\Firmware.
    If it is not, maybe you don't have the latest update from here:
    http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=8103

    I have attached it to this post in case anyone else needs it.

    I'm good now with Firmware V2.05.17 and boot block V2.05.07.

    Looks like I'm working again.

    Thank you Paul.
