ECC doesn't protect you from from all rowhammer problems because they can flip more than two bits at a time, the limit which ECC can detect.

"Tests show that simple ECC solutions, providing single-error correction and double-error detection (SECDED) capabilities, are not able to correct or detect all observed disturbance errors because some of them include more than two flipped bits per memory word"
