Yes, have problem with the X trick... My phone is USA Verizon etc... I must said that only tried on one computer to sfb (a win7) so will try from a windows xp to see if I can get the recovery options... Anything else should I try?... thanks in advance for helping us...No, are you holding the x button when you press the power button and then holding it until it goes into recovery? I have never had any problems getting it to go into recovery and ive had to many many times....
