no worries, but you nearly made a massive mistake and bricked your modem.... as stated earlier the safest way to flash is

use rc6 ONLY.
Flash and run from memory.
Open IE 192.168.100.1
haxor page will load
click firmwareupgrade
load haxor rc6 and load it.

not 3 or 4 or 5 or ambit full flash and all that......
