  20. Ok, When I get to the step where I have to press power and vol up to load the recovery menu, I just have the dead android logo flashing. I got it to pop up before and choose to clear cashe but after a few minutes turned my phone off because I thought it froze. Now it just won't show up again.. In all the videos I watched, After choosing recovery mode, It briefly says "Installing Sysyem Update". Mine doesn't say that. Just straight to the flashing dead android logo..
