...is the problem inherent in some ecu's prior to flashing and shows its self post flash
Yes.
or... bad flash equipment, bad technique, etc.
If you are talking Woolich Racing software, no, it's not the software per say. Is it being addressed for the later or that certain part numbered ECU? That, I don't know?
At the end of the day, the guys who had no problems or the guy who stands up and buys a new ecu to replace one that bricked while he was flashing it is the guy I'd go to.
Well, that's what I sort of danced around with. Say it's you that is the flasher. Say you know going in there might be a brick that you plug in. Why should you pay out of pocket if you already know what the flash can do, why should you pay because someone just has to have it and now you are stuck with his mod you warned the customer about and who pays for that 'error' going in? Think about that and make sure your mod wallet can cover that scenario.
I'm kind of surprised the other flashers haven't chimed in.
It would be nice. The question is, what part numbers are you sitting on would be one. The other is, 'who pays for the brick?' And that is where with that kind of price they are getting, or some are getting, well, I spin the wheel of fortune if 10 fly and I eat 1, for sure I'll take a chance so my kind of business would be, 'I the flasher pays for the brick.' WATThell do I look like? Nice odds, no? So when that phone call is finally made, ask how that [flash] goes down? Oh really? And now you work a deal with a signed contract, which states that the flasher eats it. The flasher can always decline any deal, and so can you.
Tamed,
How would someone know that they got a "bum" flash?
I think there are 2 types of flash. The first type is to toggle this or that for an enabled or disabled move. So that is one type of flash. The other flash is setting the AFR. See that imaginary flash company called, BBB? Better business your ass it's not. It's you who built the flash and what it wants to do.

1. Code 3a or self check the ECU it's saying, down-data/error/Packet, and I mean packet is a guess? Would there not be more variables to this? I'd have to type a code line, call it a file that does something in my notes, but this is not a file but a change in numbers. Would not all these checks and balances the same file packet flying thru the download box or interface, and that interface runs like a clock, go ask Romes how many times he's flashed his one ECU.
2. Flashing lower ABS-Skid bar on the dash. Amber bulb stays on and now the PAIR signal acts as another self check; something is wrong.
3. The obvious is a no start; once you see the flashing and it does not self clear or you turn the key off and clear it that way.
