@steve99 I came across this from @Tor on unbricking ECUs with EcuTek, I'm aware you replied in that thread back then but no reason that this can't be replicated in the same manner with EcuFlash?

As a sidenote:
As far as I can tell, it’s possible to unbrick any ECU using Ecutek (flashed with any other solution and without the help of Ecutek support). It would require a license, but you would then also have an Ecutek license on the ECU you could use for further tuning, or you could remove it again once unbricked if desired. If knowing someone with an Ecutek cable this is at least a cheap way to unbrick as opposed to buying a new ECU. The secret is to start the flash with the ignition off, press OK and then immediately turn the ignition on. The ECU turns on, but goes directly into programming mode, instead of getting a chance to finish it’s boot and crashing.
