before giving up on a bricked ecu...

Looks like the only method for them now is to either get a working ECU or get someone with access to Brzedit or Ecutek to perform that procedure. But would the ECU then be 'locked' after?
Before giving up you should really try the ecu power drain method first. Disconnect the battery and press the brake pedal for like two minutes, then reconnect the battery and turn on. It will go into a default mode. Depends on how it's bricked though as to if that will work.

I had freaked out once because my laptop died half way through a flash and then the car wouldn't do anything. After doing the above, it worked fine and I was able to finish the flash.
