I don't know about your problem specifically, but one thing that I like to do may work for you. Put it in bootloader mode first, then connect and run your rom update. My sprint tp2 goes into bootloader by pressing down volume and power buttons while the phone is off. Not sure if verizon is the same, but that should be easy to find with a quick search. This is also a good trick for upgrading and you don't have 50% charge on your battery.
