I had a friends map on my computer and accidentaly wrote it to my ecu. I cancelled it before it was done and now my car won't start and it won't write any maps anymore. I can't even read my rom I have now.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Stopping the flash is what killedja.

EPROM flashing is risky - failures like this are common in personal computer BIOS. I don't have a solution to offer, but when you have a bad flash on a pc's motherboard, you can a) have the chip removed, erased, reflashed externally and reinstalled, or b) pitch the motherboard.,

Unfortunately, b is usually the most cost effective option.

* It should be noted that I have zero experience flashing ecu, but plenty flashing pc eprom.

agreed, i had a similar problem. i ran the unlocker and it allowed me to read it again and rewrite

Yes,the unlocker was the key! The flash I put on my ROM was also an Ecutek flsah at that. The unlocker worked so I could put mine back on.

Thanks guys

Glad it worked for you! If you interrupt the flash procedure you are running a huge chance to transform your ECU into a brick. That was your first strike and got lucky!
