    OK Paul,

    When you start the EFILive V8 software, the EFILive_Hapi.exe process (hapi = Hardware Application Programming Interface) automatically runs in background and displays a small FlashScan icon in the system tray, in the Windows task bar, near the clock/time display. If the EFILive V8 software cannot start the EFILive_Hapi.exe process then you will see the error you have reported.

    That can happen for a number of reasons but the most common is that the EFILive_Hapi.exe process has crashed/failed/hung and needs to be killed so it can restart cleanly. You can either reboot the PC or run Windows Task Manager and manually end "EFILive_Hapi.exe" process (if there are multiple copies of that process running, end them all).

    It is also possible that the V8 installation did not complete successfully and the EFILive_Hapi.exe file is faulty or does not exist. In that case try re-installing the V8 software.

    Also you must ensure that your FlashScan is using firmware V2.07.xxx. If your FlashScan is using firmware V2.04.xxx or 2.05.xxx or 2.06.xxx then you need to update the firmware. Instructions for doing that can be found in the document: C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8\Documents\FlashScan\Upgrading FlashScan.pdf

    I have reinstalled the v8 software several times. I cant seem to be able to update the firmware because I cant connect to the v2.

    What firmware is in your V2? You can look that up using the V2 menu option: F4: Options -> F3: About -> F1: Firmware Details, then scroll down to the firmware version number.

    On the FlashScan V2 device itself.

    Thank you, I found that.... and in the meantime I think I had erased my bootloader and the firmware on the v2. I am trying to find a way to bring it back to life
