Car won't start after OFT flashing

So I'm taking my car back to stock by removing the headers and axle back exhaust. I have the Stage 2 OFT tune so wanted to revert back to the Stage 1. Here is what happened next:

1. Accidentally flashed back to stock tune (wanted to do Stage 1)

2. Once the stock tune was finished writing successfully I went back in the OFT and flashed to the Stage 1.

3. Stage 1 completes and I get the message to turn off car and then turn on car completely and run for 45 secs as usual.

4. Car won't turn over/start...I can hear a klacking type noise like it's wants to start but doesn't. The lights in the car all start going off/on and stereo resets etc.

So not sure what happened since I didn't get any error messages during the flash. I did not mess with anything during the flash process but I did notice the phone that was outside the car did pair up with the car.

I tried flashing the car again but now I'm getting a message that says it failed to write tune.

I'm worried I bricked the ECU but hoping that's not the case...any tips to save the car is appreciated.
