I've not tried the power key 10 times way.

I simply hold down the recovery key, press reset (if the board is powered already) or hold it and apply power. The unit then boots into recovery mode and Livesuit or Phoenixsuit should detect it and flash it.

Choose the YES option if this is the first time you have flashed the device otherwise choose NO and all your existing settings will be used.
