    No, you have not missed a step, the flash memory in your FlashScan V2 has failed. You must return it to EFILive be repaired. It will be covered under warranty regardless of the age of the unit because the flash memory was most likely faulty from day 1.

    The V2.04.xx firmware does not use the flash memory so it would never show up as a fault until the V2.05.xx firmware is installed. The flash memory test prevents the upgrade because the upgrade would fail if it was allowed to complete.

    Please return your unit to Ira at Fish Tuning in CA (310) 499-0989
