I didn't do any of the things listed in your post.

All I did was download a custom firmware from here...fire up iTunes 8...and then pressed shift+restore to select the firmware I downloaded onto my desktop.

Have you looked in your services to see if your Apple Mobile Device service is started? Start-->Control Panel-->Administrative Tools-->Services.

If it isn't then your computer may not recognize your phone when you plug it in.

Otherwise you can restore it by entering DFU mode. This kinda sux cause you have to reload everything onto the phone, but it works.
