Efi live expert needed!
My ls2 with an 88mm single turbo is ready to run, I have the tune file (drafted by ecs, so I have to assume it is not a file error) however it is a different OS than what is in the car now. When I attempt to load the new file/os, it appears to go through it's regular steps, however it goes from start to finish in about 15 seconds, (instead of 3 or 4 minutes).. After it is done, and it tells me to turn the key off, and wait for countdown, after that, I am getting a "Can't Create EFIlive/7.5/config/pcmlocks.ini Access Denied" error.. If I pull the tune from the computer, it is still the old file with an OS of 09373372 instead of the new OS which is 02040003. Can anyone provide some insight? I am stumped, and REALLY want to get this thing running!

Yes Don, he is trying to do a full flash to update the OS and it is not allowing him to for some reason.

Most likey the tuner did a " Custom Operating System" or custom calibration--( because of the boost )--And cerated a new operating system--He may have also "LOCKED" the tune so no one else can get into it without the password---Contact your tuner to see what he did--

The problem was in the security settings for efi live. I had to chage the security settings for the 7.5 directory, and the configurations folder within efi live. Apparently this is a reletively common problem according to the EFI forum for users running vista on their laptop. After adjusting the security settings, the file uploaded without a hitch.. Now to see if I can get it refined a bit!

didn't realize this was a double post... however, I have another question!
How do I go about integrating my Innovate LM2 wideband into the V2 in real-time to log A/F ratio's without using original o2 sensors? I have to assume it is possible!

Currently searching the efi live forum, but if you know what these security changes need to be made please let me know.
Edit Friend and I figured it out. It is the v7.5 efi live folder permissions. Need to give full permission to the (all?) users. I did that and also ran the tune software as an admin and it worked fine to upload the custom operating system and then my old tune file. Not sure if doing one or the other did the trick as I only tried it once.

I agree with your tune you now have what they call a "custom operating system" so you cant make changes to your tune unless you do another "full flash" IF you still can't do a full flash then more than likely the tuner LOCKED youe tunefile so no one other than himself can get into it---In Modesto where I am you would get Shot for this !!
Ask you tuner for the password if they have any integrity they will give it to you--They have already made their $$ off you and are just tricking you into going thru them for any minor change

You do NOT need to do a full flash after the full flash for the os
Conversion for each change! Just do a calibration flash for changes!
Full flash is only needed for os changes
What error are you getting?
