HELP - New Update Bricked 5x

Today I downloaded the new firmware update for the 5x. I installed using fastboot as normal, knowing that boot.img, vendor.img and system.img had changed.

I used fastboot to flash all three, then booted to TWRP and flashed SuperSU 2.76, ElementalX kernel and the AdAway file hosts.

The phone booted as normal and was running just fine for about 2 hours. Then, while playing music, I attempted to unlock the screen with the screen passcode. The device froze.

Attempting a reset only allowed it to get to the "Google" screen with the lock on the bottom, then the screen would go black. I could hard reset into bootloader mode. I attempted to flash back to stock, but the same freeze on the "Google" screen happened upon reboot.

Now, the device will not even get to bootloader mode. Holding the power + either of the two volume keys renders nothing on the screen, nor does plugging into USB on the computer. I'm fearing the device is hard bricked. Any recommendations?
