HELP...Error 14

i have a smarty downloader for the 98.5-02 dodge. i used it on a buddy truck to let him try it, so the dowload got interupted cause of a loose wire on the OBD-II port. so i pushed in all the wires and restored the ecm to stock, it downloaded but after the download it said error 14. so i tried to put the smarty on my truck and it said VIN locked. how do i get it back on my truck, cause his truck is on the stock setting and so is mine but it says VIN lock. I want my power back, it still has a little cause of the injectors but it aint what it used to be

Sounds like the OBD port still has a bad connection. If it powers up the Smarty you have 12v and ground. There are 3 other wires that need connection, #2, 7 and I cant remember what the other one is unless I look at my pin out sheets at the shop. If any of those 3 have a bad connection you will get a error 14.
