    If the crash occurred during the very early part (first few seconds) of the full-flash operation then it is quite likely that the ECM will be dead unfortunately. I'm assumign you're no longer able to read or connect to the ECM at all?

    The 'worst' part of the flash it could have shut down.
    If you have disconnected the battery from the truck then the ECM is dead, if you haven't then just keep trying to full flash the ECM. If power has not been removed from the ECM it will still be alive and waiting for the PC to talk to it and resume the flash.
