Try Hooking up to a computer and use adb reboot recovery from a command prompt wherever your adb.exe is.

Mine booted into the OS in less than 2 mins on first boot! Unfortunately the play store is down and I couldn't proceed with setting up the ROM. It felt fluid, though.

Will flash again when Google Play is playing nice

Thanks again for the ROM!

FYI... If you don't feel comfy using the keys to enter recovery, use his method to access download mode and try fastboot reboot recovery.

Good Luck!
