Might have bricked my K1m

Just got it yesterday, trying to make my own ring tones just like in the official hacking thread, and wow did it go bad. I managed to finally get the phone to connect to MPT and to BitPim, and just as the thread said to do, I deleted the MyToneDB.db and TmpTneDB.db files, disconnected the phone and reset it. Now when it boots up, it gives me the Verizon splash, followed by a white screen with FTS on top, followed by a bunch of numbers and a PREV and NEXT options.

Some of what it says when I go to the various NEXT and PREV pages includes:

HDRSTATUS INT followed by numbers and "OPN IDL 8 0.0.0.0"

NormalPD
Test Panic Code

A long screen that says
ServOpt: NoChg
AudioOpt:Auto
Clear PDCs:keep
GPS Sess: New
Perf Lvl:6
Loc Priv:None
USB Diag: modem
and a bunch of other things that I can select and change

Press The Down Key to launch a GPS session (which doesn't work)

Numbers in groups of 11 (01-11,20-21, etc) with percentages after them

And a number of other pages. Occasionally I see the very top part of the screen flash away to the regular background, but only for a second or two. The phone still makes and receives calls just fine, though there is no access to the phone book or any other options, rebooting the phone hasn't worked, neither has pulling the battery. I tried deleting the two files again but that hasn't worked either. When the phone is closed, the outside LCD screen still shows the normal background, time, signal strength, et al, and when I open the phone up again it displays the background for a fraction of a second before going back to the white screen.

Any assistance to a poor shmuck who is having a bit of a panic attack would be greatly appreciated, and I realize any open ridicule towards me is well deserved. Thanks in advance.
