You have certainly skipped a lot of the required details.

Carefully recheck everything you should have done (including verifying the md5sum of the factory firmware package).
I did compress a lot of it together for the sake of brevity...but the you're right, the one thing I glossed over because I thought it was optional and I'm not totally sure how to do it was validating the md5sum of the factory firmware package. How do I do this?

EDIT - Never mind. I googled it, I'm on a Mac and it was pretty straight forward. Yes, they match.

-Open Terminal.
-Type MD5 and hit the space button.
-Drag the file you have downloaded into the Terminal Window. ...
-Hit Enter.
-You should now see the MD5 Checksum so you can compare it to the string you have been given to ensure they match.
