Edge Chip Problem
I have the Edge Evolution chip that I just recently bought from my roommate. He has the same truck that I do and I have used this chip in the past we then put it back on his truck for a few months. Yesterday we took the chip off his truck after returning his to stock and installed it on mine. I hooked it all up the same way as before and got it installed and I started to install a power program. Once the programming bean it got part way through and then acted like it reset itself and said the last programming session had failed. I now cannot get it to install it either freezes up when saying it initializing or when unlocking the PCM. If I can get it past this point it just keeps telling me the PCM is not responding press any button to return to stock. When I do so it usually freezes after writing the files. I of course am afraid to start my truck now because the check engine light is now on and I don't want to fry the PCM. Anyone have any suggestions?

Call Edge tech support. They can usually unlock things.
Pray that the module still has your stock files in it, though. Because if it doesn't, you're going to be going to the dealer for a reflash.
Moving these between trucks is a really, really bad idea.

Another reason to go with SCT! I had the exact happen to me (but had never installed it before, bought it from a friend). Called SCT and got the tech in less than a minute and he fixed it right then and there over the internet.

Got a hold of edge and they reprogrammed the chip through my computer and sent me a Stock writer for my truck and I rewrote my PCM to stock and then put the chip on it and it works great now. Everything was free of charge from edge.
