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.

Download site is down :/

Also can someone upload a kernel.sin? Trying to download the swedish root files but theres no bandwith left for the uploader so I'll flash SuperSU as soon as this is back up and I can figure out where to get a kernel.sin file. Any help pleasE?

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...
