Hi Toxicevo87, welcome to the forum.
Do you have the blue card that came with your EFILive FlashScan...?
Do you have FlashScan V1 or V2...?
You should still be able to connect to vehicle and scan/log and read the PCM.
From scantool:
- go File->Enter VIN and enter your vin;
- click the green connect button (upper left);
- go Info->Validate PIDs, wait for it to finish;
- goto PIDs tab and select some pids (e.g. VSS, RPM, TP, MAP, MAF, LONGFT1/2, AFR, IAT, ECT);
- goto the Dashboard B tab, should see charts;
- on the charts add the pids you selected in the PIDs tab (in a corner of a chart strip go rightclick->Metric/Imperial/Other PIDs);
- click the green record button (center bottom);
- you should see the chart displaying data;
- when done, click the stop button and save to file;
- goto the MAPs tab and configure/display maps.
When I plug the scan tool in i just get two flashing orange lights and a blank screen..... The programs wont let me in alot of things for some reason. I do have the blue card. I have flashscan v2.
Sounds like it's in dead pole. open v8 software and it should tell you to update bootblock

Yep, dead poll mode... you need to flash in firmware.
What bootblock version do you have.
In stall V7.5.6.117 and V8.1.2.97 software from: here.
Then carefully read the attached doc, and when it makes sense proceed to flash in the firmware (see the table for which firmware is compatible with your current bootblock), and then upgrade to latest bootblock/firmware.
Ok i got it unlocked and my v2 is updated, Now how do i pull data from my car to my laptop/scan tool?
When i try to select my pids the info bar wont let me select anything. I tried to enter my vin and i dont know to op system how do i get this sofware to work?
This is what i get in the console 2:16:29.593: Loading generic configuration file: sae_generic.txt
