Narrative:
After pushback and start we had an ECAM for auto flight yaw damper 1. Contacted maintenance control and worked through resetting and testing the system per his direction. On resolution maintenance control sent a new mrd and we taxied out for takeoff. Got a runway change to xxr. When cleared for takeoff; captain advanced throttles to 1.05 EPR. Power was stable and captain advanced thrust levers to flex detent. Within a couple of seconds; we lost power on the right engine and the aircraft veered sharply right. I called out engine fail and noticed an engine 2 stall ECAM. Captain announced he was rejecting and restored directional control. I notified tower and made the 'remain seated; remain seated' PA. The engine stall ECAM disappeared by itself and instead we got an engine 2 overspd prot fault ECAM. Engine 2 parameters were abnormal however even at idle and after looking at both items in QRH captain had me shut down the no. 2 engine. Fire trucks arrived and verified no issues they could see; no debris etc. Brake temps were normal as auto brakes never engaged due to the low speed. After coordinating with fas and operations and sending acars to dispatch; we returned to the gate; deplaned and sent in relevant maintenance write-ups. We completed a crew debrief and overall felt the issue was handled safely.

Title: A320 First Officer reported an engine failure at power up for takeoff.
Narrative: After pushback and start we had an ECAM for Auto FLT Yaw Damper 1. Contacted Maintenance Control and worked through resetting and testing the system per his direction. On resolution Maintenance Control sent a new MRD and we taxied out for takeoff. Got a runway change to XXR. When cleared for takeoff; Captain advanced throttles to 1.05 EPR. Power was stable and Captain advanced thrust levers to FLEX detent. Within a couple of seconds; we lost power on the right engine and the aircraft veered sharply right. I called out Engine Fail and noticed an ENG 2 Stall ECAM. Captain announced he was rejecting and restored directional control. I notified Tower and made the 'Remain seated; remain seated' PA. The engine stall ECAM disappeared by itself and instead we got an ENG 2 OVERSPD PROT FAULT ECAM. Engine 2 parameters were abnormal however even at idle and after looking at both items in QRH Captain had me shut down the No. 2 engine. Fire trucks arrived and verified no issues they could see; no debris etc. Brake temps were normal as auto brakes never engaged due to the low speed. After coordinating with FAs and OPS and sending ACARs to dispatch; we returned to the gate; deplaned and sent in relevant maintenance write-ups. We completed a crew debrief and overall felt the issue was handled safely.
