I think it's coz there is nothing to flash and its getting disconnected by itself! That's my best guess.
Now try this do not. Connect the in flash mode at first. Just turn it off and keep it aside now open flash tool and choose flash mode and select the ftf u want to flash and let it prepare for flashing first then it will ask you to connect your phone then put the usb cable and enter flash mode and that's it. It will detect the phone and start that flashing process. Im sure this is gonna work but just incase it doesn't. Post again with screenshots

Now re-downloading the flash tool..Will try this and say you Bro...Thanks,,
I have found before connecting phone in flash mode open flashtools then select flash,then select the ftf file, wait for a few moments then flashtools will show you a PIC of when to connect you phone in flashmode.

Sorry if this comes off as noobish but is there anyway to flash over to stock Gingerbread (and eventually to a custom rom) w/o the use of Odin? I've tried to search but didn't really see anything that clarified this for me. My phone just doesn't want to work with ODIN at all...it will pick it up every once in awhile but only when the phone is powered completely on. I've installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers/kies etc. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me resolve this issue!

you can give heimdall a try, but if you are talking about a cwm flash then no, you cannot. flashing bootloaders in cwm is WAY more risky than using odin or heimdall.
My main issue is that I cant keep my laptop to recognize my phone in the first place...like I said earlier, I tried various drivers including the ones from Samsung and Softpedia...And whenever I do get it to respond, it wont recognize it in download mode at all...thanks though...the only thing that I haven't really tried was a new cable...will be purchasing one later...I feel so left behind on my roms lol. I was able to flash Froyo with no prob...now its so many out that I can't get my hands on...
I would try thee drivers from dg (designgears ) thread in development. It also might recognize better from stock also.

I'm in the same situation from time to time on my work laptop. Not sure it's gonna mather for your situation but i found that if i undock and redock the computer Odin then recognize the phone again when it goes foobar. (I only use the laptop usb port and not the docking station ones).

You need to read carefully.
The ROM *requires* nAa kernel to work and should be flashed in CWM recovery.

you can still recover your back up after you install xreco
Not xRecovery. Just root with x8toolbox, unlock bootloader, install a kernel and flash the ROM in CWM recovery. xRecovery is old, it's not used anymore.

2) flash a kernel
3) wipe data via CWM
4) install rom

It looks like the drivers for your phone are not installed. Under the fail box it should say Something like com 6 in yellow if you had the drivers installed and phone connected. Try installing the drivers for the phone again and when its connected to odin you should see a yellow box and you will be ready to flash then.

Install drivers throught Kies. Its one of options whn doing connection rroubleshooting. After reinstall reboot pc. For next steps keep kies closed. It looks also like you did not go into download mode.
Press volume button down, homekey and powerbutton at same time quickly after powering up device. May need couple of tries. Its tricky. Reconnect if not done so phone to pc.
Press volume up to confirm. Now you can flash do not disconnect phone, be patient and wait till device powers back up.

You use download mode with odin.
Recovery mode in stock recovery isn't useful at all.
Try use overcome method and see if you can restock.
But since you were in froyo, have you ever checked if you have a locked bootloader? There is a chance of that.
