[YouMayLose]

Well some times a pc restart will get active sync working again..not sure if you leave your pc always on or not..if you do try restarting it... 2nd when i connect via active synce then put my phone in bootloader active sync seems to disconnect but I am still able to run the RUU and flash my phone..have you tried flashing after going into bootloader and active sync disconnecting?... finally the card that came with the phone well it seems to be junk or maybe you need a 4gb card minimum to flash that way I dont no..I've tried using it to flash a simple radio to my phone and it just wont work no matter if you reformat it or not.. the 8gb card I purchased off ebay works like a charm..so maybe buy a larger card if your using the free 1...
