Open a tune file in V8, select a line (such as the VIN line) under F3: Calibration Summary, and use the CTRL+ALT+C to copy the VIN. Doesnt work until you use the mouse a right-click the VIN line.

1. Select the VIN line
2. CTRL+ALT+C
3. Try to paste it.
4. Nothing pastes.

5. Right click VIN line
6. CTRL+ALT+C
7. Pasting works.

Thanks Erik, fixed in next update.

Not sure if it helps.... but here's a trace file from the V2.

Thank-you, the trace file helped a lot.

Do you still have the laptop that you last used to successfully do a pass-thru read?
If so can you also find the *.blx trace file on that laptop?
Instructions on getting the *.blx trace file are here: http://support.efilive.com/kb_articl...8254-QOGC-9586

I wasn't able to use the exact same laptop... ran next door and borrowed a friends and was able to successfully complete a pass-through read just now. Here is the trace file for it.

Hope it helps!

Thanks Josh,

It's on the list of things to fix for the next update.

Not to give you more problems... I thought I'd try flashing just now for you with the V2 and see if that also had any problems.... and sure enough... It made it to the "Erasing" screen and gave me another code. $023** (I don't remember it exactly) forgot to write it down... but I'm sure its in the log, if not I can try again and get it for you.

Second problem with it.... Now I've successfully flashed it using the pass-through method before when I had the other laptop I don't currently have access to that I had done the successful pass-through read on, I made a few changes to raise the shift points.... and obviously had to use one of my Transmission licenses when i went to flash it... When I just now flashed it (the same exact controller) with the V2... It used my second transmission license? I shouldn't need a new license every time I flash, correct?

The license #s are:

1.) 440891692
2.) 9M0020516

So my question is.... how could it change? It was flashed with the same tune that I had just read off it (where I gave you that successful pass-through trace file), I just essentially set everything back to stock and re-flashed. If that's just how they work and you need a license every time you flash, I'm fine with that... but just doesn't seem right to me.

Sorry to cause more problems knowing you guys already have a bunch on your plate as it is.

If you want, I can try a pass-through flash on that laptop from earlier and see if that works and get you a log from that also.

It looks suspiciously like there is a module in the truck, possibly aftermarket such as a radio, nav system, DVD player etc that is connected to the VPW bus that is resetting the bus when FlashScan attempts to switch to high speed mode. It constantly broadcasting a reset command and all modules are being reset which is preventing the read and/or flash taking place. When you use pass-thru it has a better chance of success because in pass-thru mode it is able to automatically switch back to slow speed mode (or you may have unchecked the high speed mode).

The first thing to do would be to try and find and disable the module responsible for resetting the bus.

The licenses do not change, but there is a bug in the GM code for LB7 and LLY controllers that causes the controller to return a corrupt serial number which prevents FlashScan from recognizing the license. If you get asked to re-license the controller, don't it means the flash process has already failed and the PCM is running GM's faulty code instead of EFILive's boot loader code.

As for aftermarket controllers, everything in the truck is stock... as far as the sound system listed in my sig (which right now has been currently removed from the truck 3 weeks ago because I plan on upgrading relocating everything) .... the amplifier for the subwoofer was tapped in to the rear door speakers after the bose amp so i dont think that should have any effect on the VPW since all the wiring to the radio and everything else is untouched... and its the OEM deck for the premium Bose system..... No edge cts or anything.... or any other add ons... but i can pull fuses for the radio or some other things you might think are worth trying, and try again?

and well.... looks like I learned that lesson a tad bit too late and hit yes... ugh.... wasted license...
