the flashing again and again is a bootloop,and is part of the taco root exploit that the AAHK is apparently using,and in itself is not a big deal.

if you were running taco root manually,you could stop it with the command:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo

however,im unsure what to have you do since youre within the aahk and hung at a particular step.

i *think* you could unplug,upen a new cmd window, cd c:\ to the aahk folder,and enter the command(you should see tacoroot.sh in the folder)

have you read the effin manual? does it describe recovery from this situation?
 
I disconnected the cable but still the screen is flashing again and again... any way I can just get it to previous state. So that I can start fresh?

running an ruu would do it,but that will also wipe your data.

do you have the android sdk set up on your PC?
