Subaru Levorg 2016 SH72543 Hitachi

Hi Everyone,
I badly need help recovering this ECU.
Hitachi SH72543
Vehicle: Subaru Levorg 2016
Calibration: LF76400Q
Software: A660A17207
So this is what happened:
I was using pcmflash via obd to read/write this vehicle. It was working great, till I flashed a file and then the relays under the dash are flickering on / off.
So I did not try to start the engine.
WHAT I DID:
1. What I did was to try to put it back to stock, but it won't write using genuine pcmflash module 16.
2. I can ID it via obd or bench sometimes, I can read and clear DTC using pcmflash, but it won't let me read/write.
3. I've tried recovery mode of PCMflash but it's also unsuccessful.
4. I've also tried ECUFlash but when writing, it's saying it can't enter bootloader mode.
Need help, I can pay for help to recover this. Thank you so much

This ECU can't be recovered with FastECU.
ROM is corrupted.
