It's definitely good to follow up with the resolution. That way others who find this thread when searching for information on a similar problem can see how it was fixed.

So the moral of the story, even if you are sure your round cable is good, ONLY use a new flat cable without a twist until you get it working.
We've been using an official round cable on our programming testbed for months. It wasn't until a week ago that we tried the I2C connection to an ADXL345, and it took a couple of hours of failure before I remembered some people describing making it work with a ribbon cable instead. So I repaired the KOP cable (chipped of a little plastic by accident in the process), swapped it in, and had instant success.

Has anyone managed to use I2C with the original white 37-pin cable?
