To be clear did you use a clip flash or did you flash a running machine?

I always do a clip flash on my first flash of every board, I can't 
understand why someone wouldn't given you need to for a me_clean and it 
is dangerous to do a flash without rescue equipment - although your 
issue is much different and way scarier D: D: D:

Have you tried updating the EC externally or swapping the chip/FRU board 
that contains it? I can't believe it is truly dead and I imagine it is 
EC related.
