dont know if this will work (no responsibility if it fails!)- plug AP into computer and try to see if the AP manager resets it somehow?

With the car in the ON position and with the AP connected, are you able to get to the recovery mode screen? Or does the AccessPORT just stay on the white boot up screen? Give us a call at 866-922-3059 and we can walk through a couple more troubleshooting steps to get you going again!

OMG after 2 hours sitting in my car it finally worked. I thought the car was in the ON position, because my dashboard lights were all messed up from the interuption but it wasn't. Turned it on and it finally got through the recovery mode and building data screen.

Love you cobb, glad you made the cobb AP to save idiots like me if I interrupted in the middle of a flash. Thanks for the great product!

Also, is there a way you can do a total reset for the ECU to the Factory settings? I am still getting a CEL light after flashing to stage 2 w/DPs. o2 sensors r all correct, so I think I didn't flash to stage 2 fast enough and it has messed up my ECU.

PS. I called you guys at like 1am hoping someone was there haha.
