why do you always type in caps?

As to the answer, you can't use the reflash when you go back to stock. but i don't know how you would go about obtaining one though...

It is true, once the ECU is flashed, it can not be flashed back. You would have to get another ECU from the same model year as yours and same transmission type.

Your best bet is to ask some of the technicians at the dealer, they will probably know where you can get a used one.
