Your Wii is not bricked (do not get hopeless like your nickname says):
  • You have Priiloader → Good. Protection against certain kinds of soft-bricks.
  • Console plays disk games. → Good. Not bricked.
USB-sticks/flash drives are known to work poorly on the Wii. Reading often works, but writing may fail. Some flash drives seem to work good, others completely fail. Using an external HDD works better most of the time.

Did you plug the USB-stick into a computer yet? Is the filesystem still okay? My Wii once corrupted a filesystem beyond repair. I had to reformat the flash drive and restore the backup.

go into the USBLoaderGX settings > loader settings > Loader's IOS : change 249 to 58, save and reboot.

Also, like said, flashdrives are not recommended, they can just become "not recognized" without any reason.
it's better to use external HDD.

You said you lost power when updating an "image", do you talk about a picture ? a game cover?
or updating the version of USBLoaderGX ? if it crashed while updating, you can download latest revision (currently : 1268 mod4 in my signature), and replace the boot.dol in /apps/usbloader_gx/ folder. (do not worry about elf and patch file, you don't need them)
I don't see the revision number in your screenshot so I'm not sure it has been updated correctly, just update manually, then verify in the Settings > Credit page. It must display "3.0 r1268 IOS58 AHB"
