Please help! VX6700 update problems, possible brick

[mapexdrummer4life_08]

Ok here's the deal. I just got an HTC apache from my friend last week. It was running Windows Mobile 6.0, but I wanted to reflash to 6.1 to clear out all his settings and give me a fresh start. BTW, I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit. I don't know if that's an issue or not. Anyway, I got BuildOS, cooked up a ROM and started the RUU, but I didn't know about turning off the USB connection in Windows Mobile Device Center. As soon as it started to reflash, the mobile device center stopped responding and disconnected my phone. BuildOS then gave me some sort of error, stopped the update, and my phone was stuck in bootloader mode. Now the weird thing is, I didn't do anything to put it in bootloader mode, and I never reset it; it just went into bootloader and I've never been able to get out of it. Here are some things that are important to know:

-I didn't know what version my phone was. Now I know its v2.02, but I built the ROM with v1.00 selected. Could that be part of it?
-I've tried running MTTY 1.42 to get out of bootloader mode, I can't even get the utility to have USB as an option in the ports menu.
-I tried turning off the USB connection in Windows Mobile Device Center, then tried reflashing, didn't help.
-Whenever I try to reflash, I get error 103.
-Device Manager now only recognizes the phone as Microsoft USB Sync.
-Whenever I plug the USB into the phone, I hear the little chime telling me it is connected, but it doesn't recognize it as any specific device, and the autorun options never pop up.

Is my phone bricked? I sure hope not. I literally had it for two days before it crapped out. If anyone has any input I would be eternally grateful! Thanks!
