Welcome to Rockbox.  I can see that it's your first post here.  Please read the forum guidelines (located in the Announcements forum).

Do another reset.  If it's frozen you might have to hold the key combination for upwards of 30 seconds.

You already mentioned it in your first post:  Menu + Select.

I have noticed that a lot of people give up if it doesn't reset in the first 10 seconds or so.

Oh, and the reset procedure (including a hint that it might require a bunch of seconds) is documented in the FAQ. Please read it first.
(As you said you're not new to hacking I guess you're aware that it's good practice to read the FAQ before asking, do you?)
