I could never get steps 7, 8, 9 to work for me.
I googled and did this "fastboot boot recovery.img" which booted me into recovery and then I was able to proceed. Everything seems to work ok now.
I suspect that my END key isn't being recognized because in recovery mode I had to actually open up my keyboard and use the enter key to select "apply update from sd card".
