I also receive the following error message each time I try to flash my device.

In a previous post you guys asked if the guy with the same problem had enabled USB downloading.
Is this a setting on the phone or the PC?

I think what you are meaning is a setting on the phone. Go to settings > about phone > tab several times on "build number" until developer menu is enabled. Go to settings> developer options > enable USB-Debugging

If this don't help please open an own thread because this one is for bugs in a very old firmware version.
