Ok people have had issues getting into recovery with 7.0.3. You can do one of two things. Redo everything but instead of using the 1.3 installer image use this one 1.2.1 . 1.3 has issues with the recovery in 7.0.3. Or you can either use a nightly or the latest RC. That is available here . I would recommend using the latest RC just because of improvements such as deep sleep.
