ok so after multipe uninstall/reinstall/download mode, rinse and repeats, i had it connect once, flashed it, said succesful, then the device powered off and wouldnt boot at all. Got it to connect one more time, reflashed, this time it failed, and still no power, and once again back to the same "usb not recognized" error in download mode. also tried installing fascinate drivers, android sdk and google usb drivers, still same thing. im beginning to wonder if it's my usb having problems, and not the phone or drivers
