Help with a previously soft-bricked GS3

---

I recently accidently bricked my GS3, and needed a jig to boot into download mode. After successfully getting into download mode with the jig, however, Windows 7 doesn't recognize my GS3, instead giving the message "USB Device Not Recgonized" and showing the yellow triangle on the device icon in the device manager as an unknown device. This is obviously a problem, as Odin can't recognize the device either, to flash a stock rom to get me out of this mess.

I honestly don't know how to remedy this.

Any thoughts?

Uninstall drivers and install them again
Use different USB ports.. My computer and I've heard a lot too are picky with the USB port that is bring used
Keep trying it should work one way or another

i've tried this with every port on my machine, every time I get two messages, the same "USB Device Not Recognized" after a "Device driver software was not successfully installed" message.

Well uninstall the Samsung drivers you currently have and install them again...
Or try downloading Kies and install it and overwritten your current drivers and see if that works

Do I need to do anything other than going into device manager, clicking on the Unknown Device, hitting uninstall, then going to the samsung folder where I downloaded the drivers from via the S3 Toolkit, and deleting that folder?

That's what I've done each time, with a reinstall of the drivers of course.

Just tried installing drivers on a fresh computer, no dice, same messages popped up.

I'll try Kies.

Kies doesn't seem to recognize the device on any USB port, either.
