Drivetrain Malfunction

Hello everyone,
I’m having a problem where my buddy tried bootmod3 on my 21 car, and now the engine won’t turn on due to a drivetrain malfunction, I tried clear codes but that didn’t seem to do anything, and I don’t believe the car is bricked since all the electronics work, anyways if anyone has some solution please let me know, so I use my car!

your ecu is locked, flash back to stock and it should be ok.

Flash back to stock and make sure to have your battery hooked up to a charger. If it doesn't work you will have to email customer support and have them do it remotely. Same thing happened to me and my battery died. Had it towed to a shop and getting them to link up with PTF proved impossible. Shop blames them they blame the shop. 8 weeks later I still don't have my car back. Good luck!! Hope things go better for you

Flash back to the stock map. I am pretty sure you just tried to flash a 06/2020+ ECU which caused that issue.

I've tried flashing back onto a stock map but the car doesn't accept the flash, and even after clear the codes it still won't turn on
