Well there's a hige chunk of mis-information. USB is not for recovery, only developers. Sounds like there's an internal problem with your kick. Call tmo and see if you're under warranty. Data recovery is not needed on the SK as all data is synced to the danger backend in realtime. When you get your new kick and log in, all your data will be restored.

If you're having trouble with a device, try making the time to "stare at it" for the 60 seconds out of your life that it takes the device to boot up. You might actually see an error message or be able to describe what's happening well enough for someone to be able to tell you.

If you don't have time to be able to explain what's happening, why should you expect that someone here has the time to be able to help you?

Sorry to harsh on you like this, but you're the only one that can look at your device and describe what's wrong with it.
