Possibly Bricked

I'm trying to restore to factory Netgear firmware.  After a successful flash and 30/30/30 reset my router was nonresponsive.  I did a second reset and still nothing.  The power light is orange, the light below it is flashing orange, the wi-fi light is off and the "1" light is flashing green.  I was running Toastman's Tomato and flashed the latest .chk from Netgear

I am desperate.  Pleas help!

I don't have a cable. I'm not

I don't have a cable. I'm not sure, which is why I've done it 3 or 4 times now. What could be doing the reset from being done? It's there any way I can be sure with out the cable?

I personally use router

I personally use router console (which is accessed using serial cable) to ensure if reset is done properly or not. You can consult this link for a tutorial to perform router reset properly.
