If its still saying firmware 2.0 then you didnt brick it as the bootloader is intact, you can recover this easily. Just upgrade/downgrade the firmware back to 2.0.0 and all will be good again.
Also dont use firmware 3.0.0 yet as the official version has corrupted files in it and will produce blinking black bars over the menu icons. Go back to 2.0.0 then up to 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 then wait for GPH to fix the corrupted 3.0.0 download if you really want to use it.
thanks, but how would I go about downgrading it back to 2.0.0 if I can't get to the main screen?
• Put the 2.0 FW on an SD card (preferably a freshly-FAT32-formatted card)
• With the card in the'2X, turn on the power while holding start+select
• It should update everything ....
.. make sure you have fully-charged batteries or an AC adapter plugged in.
