Default I think I bricked my Ambit :(

Well, I tried to flash an Ambit 250, and it didn't go so well.. Heres the ttl session:

Yeah, it asked what sector to start the store, and I didn't put anything. And my ethernet came unplugged in the beginning so there was a timeout. Now all the thing does is sit there with the power light on, and the ethernet light occasionally blinks. Nothing from TTL. Just blankness.

Any ideas?

PS: Sorry, the forum made some smiley faces in here that got deleted cuz people with less than 10 post count can't have images.

I just suddenly decided I don't want to do a TSOP lift. Seems to not be worth my time if I could just order another Ambit on Ebay for 10 dollars XD. Thanks for the help.
