Your settings will be set to defaults, so you will need to go into the settings menu to make any changes you need, such as locale and wifi settings.

You will also need to update to whatever firmware version you want. Sometimes an update can take a long time, and can look bricked, when it is really just "busy".

You can reboot with a "reboot" command, after the "idme" command that you did. Do a reboot command INSTEAD OF trying the mount the zeroed drive, in the transcript above.
Oh! I will wait and report to you soon.
