So for some reason the flash aborted right after erasing the pcm for a full flash and now this thing is dead in the water it wont try and flash a full flash in or recover it or anything any ideas other having to buy this guy a new samn ecm.

As long as the battery power wasn't removed then you could have retried the full flash, if power was pulled then yes that ECM will be toast.
There is a few places around that can recover them (the Flash chip is programmed outside the ECM).
If you want to send the trace file through to support then we can try to determine what went wrong, if there is something on the vehicle that caused the flash to fail right away then it'll probably happen again.

I tried to do a full flash soon as it did it but it refused to try and flash.

Flashing new ecm now so hopefully something just was a fluke
