Corrupted Log wouldn't delete - OFT Tablet - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

orangespark · 10-15-2015, 02:22 PM

I updated the template file and took a log this morning.
When I try to download the log onto my computer it gets stuck at ready. I waited around 10 minutes. OpenFlash Manger gets stuck.
I can't click on delete selected because when I click on the corrupted log (to delete it), manager tries to open it and gets stuck.

Is my only option to erase the oft to delete the corrupted log?

This recently happened to me as well with a large log file.

Had to return car to stock tune. Use ofm to erase device, the remarry to the car.

I had run out of erase credits so I had to call openflash with my serial number so they could add the erase ability on their end.

Oh yah. My log file was pretty huge as well. I'll probably do the same. Thanks

select the log then as soon as you can click delete, even while its trying to open log. hopefully it will delete it.

I've been lurking for a long time and finally created an account to share my solution to this problem. I ran into the same issue during a track session and none of the suggestions in this thread and the one @RustySocket started worked for me.

I ended up recording a very short log (about 5 seconds) and saving it with the same file name as the very large/corrupted file. I confirmed when the OFT asked if I wanted to overwrite the existing file, and later had no problem deleting the now much smaller log.

I don't even have an OFT but thanked this post because that's some really useful info and the fact that you created an account to post is awesome. That's what I love about forums.

I have been a member of a forum for every car ive owned going back to usenet days. This one rates the highest in my book for the openess and willingness of the veterans helping the new guys. lots of positive people here for sure.
