Hello guys, I know its been awhile but i had to put in some mechanical work for some time. I am super frustrated because I have bricked another ecu I thought the first 2 were because I did not have the car hooked up to another power source. I tried Everything to get this in bootmode and even tried bench flashing.

When I turn the key, there is a loud clicking sound that comes from the front end ( sounds like the Throttle body maybe) and the car will just start and die if I try to start it. When it does this, it will not allow me to read any device attached to the OBD port and computer. Is there anyone here that can UN-brick an ecu and give me a hand? Do i need new chips and stuff>? Or just get a new ecu?

Thanks for the help

Start and die is immo.

No comms is checksum error.  How are you editing your maps; what definition file and what bin are you using?  Do they match?  How are you flashing?  Have you added NLS/AL?

How can you bootmode it without bench flashing Huh
You take it out of the car, bootmode the ecu, and then you flash it with Galetto or some other tool that does bootmode flashing. Why is the ecu bricked? Did you fail at flashing? If you did not work on the software, it is not bricked.

To me, this sounds more like a hardware malfunction/fried ecu...

It's 551r software me7.1.1
I have been using me7sum to checksum my files. Using tuner pro to change my tune. Upload looked to go okay. Went to start and bam. If I just stick key in and turn without starting, that's when you can here the lodge clicking noise. Put old ecu back in in hopes that it cleared lol but no luck.       
 You can do boot mode in the car. (Ground pin 21)  but I also tried bench flashing by taking ecu out. I tried mpps and galleto

Thinking fried ecu, no fix for that?

It absolutely should. If it does not, tell me so, and give me sample files so I can fix it.

no spare -good ecu. This is the 3rd one this happened to. I know that my car battery is good. It is not the sound of the starter click. I will make a video and put it up on youtube when I get the chance. the failure to communicate is the worse part.

Thanks guys for any input

Works perfectly with 551R, used it many, many times with never an issue.  one possibility, don't resave using Tunerpro after checksumming with the tool.

Okay I have an update.
I think part of the problem was the galletto program I had didn't work and I haplenty to have a working one one my computer and I was able to write and communicate with the new ecu.  I tried 1 more file and Crash!. I thought.. maybe it's the file.
So I did everything over and put my known good file on and it worked!
So then I thought I would try that on 1 of the crashed ecu's I had and we able to recover it as well. All in BootMode in the car.
Between the 2 eeprom tools on here and galletto and tuner pro. I got everything back up AND got rid of my boost deviation code too! Cable used was a genuine Ross tech.
