I had similar problems in the past. More than once, it was apparently that I was not holding the c and d keys down completely (I have arthritis and it's sometimes hard to tell if I'm actually pressing at all). Other times, I believe it was corrupted files, because other files worked just fine. Once I even went back and re downloaded the same files and had success the second time, so it could be that something didn't transfer correctly in downloading. The last time I flashed, I made a big mistake. I flashed without my ac adapter plugged in (lol, it was plugged into the Z, but not to the power strip...whoops!). anyway, I flashed on battery power only and it would try to boot afterwards but then turn off. for a few tries it would not come on at all and I thought it was bricked, but after 3 times on ac power again, it did finally flash right, so don't give up too easily.

You may also have got a partial flash - make sure you check the md5sums of the files you are about to flash before flashing them.
