Don't hold power. From the phone being powered off, hold volume up then plug in the usb - pressing power causes problems - i.e. the phone will keep on rebooting, because that's what happens when you press power and volume up.

Thanks. All I need now is the recovery img.. Can someone mirror it?

EDIT: I have a file called system_new.img which should be the root file for Norway. Could I just run "fastboot flash system_new.img" and have a rooted phone?
EDIT2: Or run "fastboot flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip" and have a rooted phone?

Just noticed the SuperSU method is not for .73 FW...

Use Doomlord's Advanced Stock Kernel.

amfirbek92 · Jun 5, 2012

yeah i know that..but i am on the .75 firmware..and i heard something like there's a change in the ramdisk between the .62 kernel and the .75..also i tried many times the advanced stock and sometimes freezes

There are no noticeable changes.

Help please!

Hey guys,

I flashed the recovery to my phone, and it kept restarting to recovery as it said.
Then I tried to go into fastboot again to flash the kernel, but it wouldn't go into fastboot.
I tried a combination of vol. up and power, then suddenly my phone turned off.
NOW, it wouldn't even turn on!! Nothing! not even a light!

I hope I haven't bricked it!

I hope someone can help!

Press vol up+power for 10-15 sec until you get 3 vibrations and try again.
Did you have enough battery level before doing this?

Yes I tried:
vol up + Power
vol down + Power
(in fact every possible combo)

- Yes I had more than 50% battery, but I might have left the phone on recovery for quite some time in order to download required files; and then I kept trying to go into fastboot but couldn't. THen suddenly the phone is dead.

I thought that it could be the battery, I tried recharging for 20 mins but nothing happened. Not even the recharging light turned on.

What if my battery drained before I could flash the kernel, do you think this has bricked it?

PS: I even took apart the phone, removed the battery and replaced it back... still nothing :/
