That would result in a unrecoverable device. I understand using the developer preview comes with risks but it is completely unacceptable that a update gets pushed

I was in the process of ordering a 1520.3 but had to cancel that pending this issue. At this point I amĪssuming some update got pushed and just killed the phone. When plugged in via wall charger or connected to computer via usb it boots but is stuck at the battery sign. So far all the things I have tried have failed and the phone doesn't want to start, when not plugged in it is completely dead. Tried calling nokia support but couldn't get in touch with someone who can even understand the basic issue Replaced old battery with a new battery.Ĥ. When i plug it in to the charger it tries to boot shows the nokia splash and than goes to the battery sign.ġ. Its version should be 1.2.4.I had a lumia 521 with developer preview, I hadn't done anything new to it and all of a sudden phone completely died. when i tried to conncect to windows phone recovery tool 2. You can download the new Windows Phone Recovery Tool from this link. dont work really., lumia 520 says error: unable to find bootable option. Meanwhile the Windows 10 Preview update is on hold until all issues are resolved. Microsoft is still investigating the problem and is working to bring back to live all bricked Lumia smartphones. The company doesn't promise this updated toll will fix all bricked Lumia 52x, but it should work in most cases for those with a red Nokia logo and with the black screen. Microsoft basically lowered the image files and the writing speed. Microsoft now has a new version of this tool, which should help recover the bricked Lumia 520/521/525.Īccording to Microsoft the major issue was with the data writing size and speed. Unsupported devices can still use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to recover to Windows Phone 8.1, but will not have the option to return to Windows 10 Mobile. Unfortunately it doesn't help with the bricked Lumia 5 series. Microsoft has a dedicated Windows Phone Recovery Tool, which usually saves bricked smartphones. Some devices got stuck on a red Nokia logo, while others just went dead with nothing on the screen.

The update process went well for the early adopters, though issues arose when trying to roll back to Windows Phone 8.1.Īpparently lots of users, who didn't want to stick with the Windows 10 Preview got their Lumia 52x bricked after trying to revert back to Windows Phone 8.1. These are the weakest phones among the Windows Phone 8 gang with just half a gig of RAM. Recently Microsoft made available the Windows 10 Technical Preview for Lumia 520/521 and 525.
