Why do you not have a saved map?!

I think you might be screwed and need to get the dealership to handle the car

How did it disconnected and why were you reflashing the ECU in the first place.

I read somewhere that Cobb was discontinuing their AccessPort on the G37 on 8/6/10. You may want to hurry up and call them.

sounds like a crappy situation for the original poster. hopefully cobb can fix it. anything that gets reflashed half way and the disconnects usually gets bricked. e.g. mobile phone, pc bios, bluray player, router or pretty much anything with a processor. had a friend try to flash his ecu with a near dead battery. the flash never completed because the battery died. he had to shell out $800 for another oem ecu. we told him to RTFM "make sure the battery is charged and is in good condition" in bold print

40k car goes dead for a 600 dollar gadget, piece of shiet, this is the worst case scenario, nowhere I know of someone had to send a their own ecu to the company to be fixed ugh besides the cobb products.
