I have only started with the programming and only once used progman sss but I am confused by your post. Are you trying to reprogram the DME with updates for driveability and such or work with car/key memory functions. Is progman stuck now and car doesn't start or did it finish restoring back to where you started ? What makes you think DME is bricked ??
