Root Download Mode - Phone Not Recognized

[wetherb67]

First time newbie attempting to root my Droid Charge.

Running Windows XP SP 3 on my laptop. Have downloaded Samsung drivers and all required stuff.

However, when I boot it into download mode, can't get the computer to recognize it when I plug in USB cable. Keeps saying there is a problem.

Any suggestions?

Found my own solution....bad cable. As soon as I tried another one, it worked fine.

Thanks for posting that, lol. I was trying to figure out the exact same thing... I've got like 1000 cables and i guess all of them aren't that great except for the one that came with the phone itself. Lol. I was starting to freak out!
