The Reader should reboot and show the USB connect in a minute or so, then you can use the US Updater.
What is the 10-resets method - I have seen it mentioned elsewhere without anyone actually describing what it is.

I think I did something similar to your 1, 2 3 to unbrick my reader over the weekend. Anyway, it was a lot of trial and error to get it working again.
