Finally bricked?

[3dmonkey]

I upgraded the radio in my 6700 to 1.43.00 and upgraded the BuildOS to the latest version. I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1 on my laptop, so I disabled USB and ran BuildOS with a pretty plain kitchen. When the upgrade screen appeared, I put the 6700 into bootloader mode (it's v2.05 on the phone), disabled USB in WMDC, connected it to the laptop, and the BuildOS proceeded to load the new ROM onto the phone. When it was done, I disconnected the phone and did a hard reset. The phone powered on, the new HTC logo screen flashed on, showing the radio and WWE info, then went to a gray screen. I waited 20 minutes, then reset it again and waited for it to come on. I've repeated that 10 times now.

I tried following the "stuck in bootloader" thread, thinking maybe it was because when I upgraded the radio to 1.43 the bootloader went from 1.02 to 2.05, but I cannot choose USB from the dropdown as per instructions.

So is it bricked?

I should've stayed in WM5.

Help me, if you can!
