This has all the hallmarks of a detatched usb port but the end result was mind boggling, how on earth didnt you manage to get it recognised before that is either the pc's software incompatibility or as i said a detatched usb.

Glad you got it in the end but if your charging plays up in any way or form then suspect the obvious... anyhow happy days... for now .

Tried on multiple computers,with multiple OS,even vms as mentioned earlier.Has to be the charger thing or something.When Luz posts some feedback on it,maybe we can get a better picture.

Fixed it, flashed it in vista 32. I have external charger, so charged one of my bats whilst at work. one thing i have noticed and it may be relevant, my charger (nokia one with plug) seems to be faulty as every now and then when trying to charge led light flashes dull green and quicker than usual, however charges fine when usb cable is used....

Damn this topic is just keep coming back to haunt us over and over again. How many flashing thread do we have to have? Anyway you must of done something wrong. I've never have any problem with flashing my device with WIndow7, VIsta and XP at all. Haven't tried Linux.

Thanks for checking back, lets hope there are no more issues for either of us!! My charger I noticed also didnt charge right when i used it with my external battery charger, so it does seem to be faulty, I will be buying a new one next week...
