Agree that the first resort should be the tuner. Absent a clear warning pre-purchase that it should not be used on post-6/20 ECUs, I think the onus is on the tuner to make this right.No solution, only thoughts ahead:
I think BM3/MHD/EcuTek guys should be able to say what information could have been overwritten if the ECU was locked. At least the software engineering companies they use like cmd, bitbox, etc.. should know and should be able to recover/overwrite that bit with the full DME backup. (I guess).
I don't have experience in this, but I've flashed/rooted/etc. most of my Android phones and if for whatever reason your flash fails, depending on whether it was rom, or loader, you can put in download/recovery mode and re-flash it. I suppose it could be done on a bench?
But regardless, he should follow the FAQ to create support ticket.. He surely cannot be the first person to make this mistake..
HOW DO I REACH TECH OR SALES SUPPORT IF I HAVE AN ISSUE OR NEED HELP?

That’s great news. Definitely a learning experience.Update:
They pushed a fix to the server that corrected the stock map download failure. After that all I did was “flash and relock” the stock tune and it completed no problem. Everything works fine
Yep, and pro tuning unlocks for free so I just gotta ship it to themThat’s great news. Definitely a learning experience.
So are you just holding onto the BM3 tune until you’re unlocked?
Already taken care ofSorry to see this happened. There is a check pre-flash that issues a warning about flashing before unlocking. If it is skipped the issue can happen but it is easily resolvable by just clicking on the Stock Tune and choosing reflash back to stock. Our tech support is always there to assist and remote into your laptop to take a look for anything that may come up at any time while using BM3.
Try and flash back to stock, if it fails or doesn’t work for whatever reason just hit them up and they can help you. For me i couldn’t flash back to stock because a bug but once I contacted them they fixed it shortly afterI just got put into this exact same situation. Car is 11 months so the ECU cannot have physically been manufactured prior to 7/20.
