Dead ECU, any INPA Users Here?

I did headers a while back and had a tune from AA that turned down the o2 sensors for inspection purposes. Everything was fine but I would get a weird surging idle. AA offered to revise the tune and I figured may as well purchase their new flash loader for quicker uploads. Big mistake.

After following all procedures and uploading the tune, my car won't start. Turn the key and the engine cranks but it won't turn. I the unplugged the AA flash loader and hooked up my OBD diag device and even that can't connect to my ECU... wtf?!

I then tried to recover my ECU using my backup tune but still same result. And I also noticed this time the AA flash loader showed "vehicle manufacturer ECU hardware number shows ????"

For those familiar with INPA, can I recover my ECU? I've never used it before but at this point I'll try anything. Did some research online and seems like INPA may be able to recover if I realign the DDE and EWS.
