    Turn all power on to the PCM - full time keep alive power and ignition power. Just ground the pin at the moment you apply all power to the PCM, then release the ground. Immediately let LS Droid attempt to recover it by reading it. Fifteen seconds is not long so you gotta' have your game face on and be ready for this.

    It's kinda' funny but I've never bricked one of my five PCM's and in a curious way, I'm sort of looking forward to it as another life experience. So for now, I'm vicariously living this unbricking through you.

    I was hoping I didn't it was a cos3. Tune I didn't know if it would work and the awbser is NO. LOL oh well got to break some eggs to learn what will and will not work.

    It's wierd the pcm hammer will check the addresses and everythong is in the right place but yeah she's bricked . unless Bluetooth is not supported yet with ls droid I did have the cable today so I might try that tomorrow.

    ok guys little update ive tried everything beside buying a new jtag chip. not sure if it would fix it or not. is it worry the 55 bucks for the new chip to see if its savable. got a 0411 put the first tune is used in and runs great. pcmhammer worked like a charm. had a lot of cos3 tunes with 1028 kb a few with like 8000 kb and only 1 with 512 kb. so i think i know what the problem was.
