bricked ecu. same thing happened to me. never turn the ignition off if your flash fails. you might have been able to salvage it if you hooked up a jumper to the battery and tried to reconnect and reflash the ecu.

Did you review the ECU Flash guide? It has some advice for situations such as these.

Stop posting info that you "heard" and are "not 100% sure of". This is how misinformation is spread.
