Default Bootloader Rejected On Efilive?

Hi I just got my Efilive flashscan V2 and was trying to read teh calibration file on the pcm, but it keeps coming up with Error: Bootloader Rejected. DOes anyone know what it going wrong? This is on a 01 Yukon and I believe it's the untouched factory pcm in it, thank you in advance.

Yea, I tried it again after the 15sec delay, restarting the computer, and restarting the car. The scan and logging part of it works fine, and it says the computer is not locked and has a standard key.

Make sure you selected the right controller type (99+LS1)

I selected 99+ genIII, also tried all the rest just for the heck of it and the others get Bootloader Rejected: can not unlock....

I have a factory radio, all my e-fans and other high current draw items are unplugged

Here's what happens on the 99+ genIII

11:40:47.919: Getting status...
11:40:47.969: Status: OK.
11:40:48.059: Bootloader version: APCM_v1.4R (0544-94D3)
11:40:48.069: Preparing PCM for reading flash...
11:40:48.109: PCM seed is: $7251
11:40:50.252: Error: Failed. Controller has returned to normal operation, please retry the operation.
11:40:50.383: Error
11:40:50.383: Disconnecting ...
11:40:50.443: Disconnected
11:40:52.135: Done!

I appreciate all of your assistance, never knew that it was this hard to just read the pcm.

Have you down loaded the latest version of the software and updated the Firmware on the V2 itself? I know there was just recently some changes to how V2 connects to the PCM and that may be your problem. I would also post this over on there forum too.

I checked that and it is the current version, should I reflash it anyways? Being new to the forums at Efilive they still need to approve the account before posting privilages are given.
