Lets see if anyone can tackle this stubborn Blackberry Storm

did you try this solution?= paste this into a command prompt:
CD \
CD PROGRA~1
CD COMMON~1
CD RESEAR~1
CD APPLOA~1
LOADER /NOJVM
make sure vendor file is deleted from program files/common files/research in motion/loader

yeah that didnt work either, nothing pops up in the selection mode nor will it allow autodetect
