The reason your OFT won't write to the ecu is due to Ecutek's "overwrite protection" which changes the security algorithms so that only Ecutek software can write to the ECU. Not even the dealership can recover your ECU at this point

You'll need to use the ecutek software to flash a ecutek "stock" file to your ECU to restore original factory security algorithms.
