    Man, am I glad I found this post. I did the exact same thing as t_dubble. I thought that I had bricked my FlashScan.

    Is is safe to say that we will no longer be using the program EFILive_Firmware.exe (Update FlashScan V2 Firmware)?

    Correct, all firmware updating is done with EFILive_Explorer once you have upgraded to boot block V2.05.xx or later.

    That is, until EFILive V8 is released and then firmware updating will be automatically handled by the EFILive software.

    Please carefully read the Readme.rtf file that is installed as part of the V8.1 installation. After installing V8.1.1, you can find it here: \Program Files\EFILive\V8.1\Documentation\Readme.rtf

    It explains what you need to do once you have done the boot block upgrade (to V2.05.08) from FlashScan's menu.

    ok so now flashscan is stuck on splash screen unless i put it in Dead Poll, explorer says it's loaded with Bootblock V2.05.08 but its not letting me load in new firmware now. HAPI and Explorer keep saying Flashscan is not connected.
