Did I just brick my r9000

I wanted to switch to custom fw from factory net gear. I followed what I think was the instructions by using the r9000 v1.04.32HF.zip file. I uploaded that, and after a while rebooted the router. The power light is steady blinking now and typing 192.168.1.1 just gives me a connection timed out screen. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
