    Ok, got it figured out.. my bootblock and firmware didn't jive, so I had to manually put it in dead poll and put the compatible firmware in first, then I could update everything to the most current stuff.

    I think everything is working right.. thanks again for the help!

    Im having a problem much like the Chris guy. I got the same error message as him so I put it in dead poll thinking maybe I could get it to populate the firmware and boot sections but that didnt work. I attached some screenshots of what Im seeing. For somereason the V2 doesnt want to connect to the program anymore. I downloaded brand new versions of 7.5 and 8 tonight and uninstalled the original 7.5 like it says in the pdf. I suppose Im missing something from the pdf document which is highly possible with a screaming 3 month old in the room.

    Using the keypad on FlashScan, can you navigate to the license section that displays the firmware and boot block versions?
    What are the versions in the FlashScan unit?

    Regards

    Firmware 2.04.70 date dec 10 2007
    Boot Block 2.04.10 date nov 10 2006

    When I go in to the Flashscan to upgrade it to 2.05.08 it only gives me to option of 2.5.04 so I went ahead and let it do its thing to go to that version. Atleast getting me to that boot block gives me some options it looks like from the pdf. I think I may be able to get it from here. Didnt realize that I could do it via the flashscan even though it says it in black and white in the pdf, a suppose a screaming kid can distract you lol.

    The document should point out that you MUST only upgrade the boot block when your firmware is 2.04.72. Upgrading from an earlier version will place a boot block that is faulty into your V2. The attached image capture from that document explains what you can do to try and recover from that situation.

    One last thing...
    You will probably need to use the V7 EFILive Firmware Programmer software to program the V2.05.14 firmware.

    1slow01Z71, I've just sent you an email with some instructions for recovering the FlashScan V2 device in the event you perform an upgrade to the 2.05.x bootblock before first updating to 2.04.72 as indicated in the documentation.

    I downloaded the V8 software and and while attempting to update the FlashScan V2 firmware and bootlock my pc gives me a warning when I plug my FlashScan into the USB that the device is not responding. On the device it says it is connected. I am running windows 7 and have completed all the updates for the V8 software. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do different. FYI I have never updated the FlashScan V2 firmwar or boot lock. Also, when I open up the utitily where is should show the current versions of the firmware is shows nothing. Thanks in advance.
