I'm sure it's not bricked, but the flash has been erased. You will not get anything on the LCD at this stage, as the bootloader does not output to it.
It could be that the batteries are drained (the 30b drains the batteries quickly in this "zombie" state) or that there is a bad connection. Try with new batteries and ensure the pogo connector is properly seated.

Try all the other com ports that show up. When I did this, I wound up needing to use COM8.

So basketballs aren't the only things that can be "bricked?"

If I remember correctly I had this situation once. It only worked when I removed the batteries from the 30b, reinserted them and started the whole procedure from the beginning: connecting the cable, pressing buttons on the cable and the 30b, starting programs exactly as described, even as the display of the 30b didn't display anything.
I only use Atmel's SAM-BA, not MySamba.
