I think I bricked it (EFI flash fail)

It is a mess. I have already ordered new test wires as the ones that came with the Pi were m/f. I am running 2A power supply to Pi. I DID fix the "twisted wire" issue by making a more solid connection for the Hold and WP to the 3.3v line, but still had the same issue. I'm wondering if hooking all 3 of those to that line is drawing too much, which in turn is causing the voltage drop. Should the WP wire be hooked up or no? The tutorial said usually not needed. I have tested with WP as well as Hold unhooked. Chip is not found with Hold unhooked, but seems OK with WP unhooked.
