[Q] HELP! Softbrick, Windows is not recognizing my phone

Hello, I believe I screwed up something with the mounting/unmounting before I flashed a ROM, and my phone is not working as a result. Originally, it would sit at the Samsung Sidekick 4g Tmobile screen forever, and I could use the button combination to get it into download mode... now that doesn't work, and it only goes to the black screen with the phone and the computer.
I have downloaded driver after driver after driver trying to get this to work, I have downloaded ODIN, and I understand how to use it, but there is no way ODIN is going to see my phone because Windows will not properly install it. I only have a PPC mac and Win 7 computers, one win 7 computer says device is malfunctioning and the other win 7 computer loads it as a "Gadget Serial" but says that it did not install properly. I have tried all the samsung drivers, all the samsung programs to no avail. I've tried more than one USB cable too...
Is there any hope in getting this phone back to life? Do I need to use a windows XP installation? I have VMware so I could try XP or linux but frankly I'm afraid to do anything more for fear of further complicating this situation.
Final Edit: SOLVED. I uninstalled everything save for the samsung drivers, installed the android SDK and plugged it in a different usb port...although im not sure if windows got it right away, ODIN detected it and I was able to restore.

[Q] Unable to install Magldr on Focus

Hi all,
I am trying to install a custom ROM on my Samsung Focus but when I put my phone on download mode and connect it to the computer all that Magldr says is "WAITING FOR USB CONNECTION"
I've tried multiple ports..my computer has Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and it installs the Samsung drivers automatically through update when I connect the phone to the USB.
I am not sure of what is wrong. I need HELP!
Thanks in advance

I am trying to unlock bootloader on a new htc one x(at&t) that i recently got. I have windows 10. When i connect my device to the computer it recognizes it easily. However, when i boot into fastmode, it doesnt recognize the device at all. i tried updating driver but nothing changed. What should i do???? please help me!
lPlease ignore. wrong forum

you probably need a PC running WinXP / Win7 to do it
the phone cant be recognized in Win8 or later even the HTC driver installed properly
