I finally got it to work although I can't believe the solution. If you've
gotten this far in the thread I hope that you have an SD card in the phone
because that was the whole problem for me. I don't know how it works but if
I have my SD card inserted when I connect the phone to the PC, it will error
out every time. If I don't have the card in when I connect, it works just
fine. Obviously, this appears to be a problem for Siemens to resolve but
simply removing the card (as foolish as that sounds) may get you through this
issue. Thanks for the assists and I hope that this solution helps someone.
