Are you using USB? If so, are you using a USB hub? You may experience problems if you use a hub.

I am using USB indeed but with no usb hub, and i've tried it on 3 different pcs and 3 different xda :( no one got the same problem?

sounds like my problemb. I get the white screen too, no progress bar, and the USB error sometimes as well. Mine is that I am running the first version of WME2003 O2 developers ROM. You can not get out of this ROM to any other ROM without flashing via SD card, then you can upgrade or downgrade to other ROMs. Hopefully this helps. I have only seen this so far with this version of ROM. :?
