LG Rumor LX260 + USB Connection Issue

[SeberHusky]

Hi there. I have a LG Rumor LX260 on Sprint Network. I am currently having issues with the phone and my computer with the USB cable.
I think the phone has some kind of firmware corruption or something. Here is what happens when I plug it into the USB cable, which is connected to my computer.

I open up BitPim....BitPim detects the phone...phone goes into on/off connected/disconnected boot loop infinitely.

I open up LG Download....phone stays on...displays "DIAG_VERNO_F: OK" "DIAG_STATE_F: OK" "DIAG_STATUS_F: OK" "NV_READ_F_PACKET: OK" looping messages infinitely.

I open up LG Mobile Update: phone detected...phone version not supported.

The phone displays a blank white screen when the Menu button is pressed, and crashes and restarts when I hit the "Contacts" button. However, If I hit the "Messaging" button, I can still access all the menus.

I have all the drivers installed, and I have the backup firmware downloaded from here. My computer is running Windows 7: Ultimate.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Okay. I am now having a problem with LG Download.
Everything is greyed out. When I go to "Select DLL", it only shows me one folder called "(3$" and it is blank, and I can't select anything. I do have the "LGUX260" files, is there a certain place they are supposed to be placed at or something?

Here are the tools I have:

I have CDMA Workshop.
I have LG Download 1.6
I have BitPim 1.0.7
I have LGMobileUpdate

I don't have to worry about backing up any data...It was blank to begin with.
...and the phone only randomly shuts off when I open BitPim. It stays on when any other program is opened.

I should also add that the ESN number and phone numbers are all zeros if that means anything...

what that means is that phone is really inexpensive and would prolly be alot less headache to replace,i see them for 10 and 15 bucks everyday on ebay.look for one with a clean esn.

unless you just like that particular phone.
