Lumia 520 bricked after reset - Nokia Lumia 520 Questions & Answers

I tried to install the Windows 10 preview on my lumia 520 but after the spinning gears it always gave back an error code when it rebooted into windows 8.1. I decided to try and reset to fix the problem. It failed after 5 minutes and gave back a sad face and does this each time I reboot. I have tried many of the fixes on the site but I cant get the phone into any other mode other than the spinning gears and sad face. It connects to the computer for a few seconds that says Nokia Bootmgr in device manager but then just disconnects. Pressing the volume down doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Windows Device Recovery Tool?

Ive tried this but the problem is the computer doesnt recognize the phone at all

Bricked OMNIA 7??? HELP!

Hi Guys,
I was in the middle of flashing my OMNIA 7 then suddenly my computer shutdown due to a blackout at our home. Now my phone is stuck on the OMNIA 7 logo during boot and keep going that way.
I could still manage to go to download mode and reflash but when I try to flash it there is an error that would indicate "WRITE MIBIB FAILED!"
Is my phone bricked? I need your help.
By the way, if I get still manage to go to the DOWNLOAD MODE would that mean that my phone is not bricked?
Thanks!
Have you tryed formating before you try? Just use the other volym button.
Tryed yet?
Yeah I tried it, but still not working. . I still manage to get to "download mode" though.
As I have read through the different posts in the forum I see people experiencing the same problem such as the phone which keep on restarting and stuck on the "OMNIA 7" startup logo. . I tried the fixes that other's recommended but still doesn't work.
I tried taking the battery out for a day then putting it back in, the phone managed to boot up and I was actually able to use it but if I try to restart it again or sync it to the computer, It suddenly resets then goes on the boot loop once again. .
Well then I guess there is only one way. Return it to the store. :'(
to flash, ALWAYS restart your computer before and use a laptop with charged battery to avoid this problem.
For your problem you can tried to flash only bootloader part, radio part, or only PDA part for testing.
hay man
I had the same problem and here is the solution
follow the this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530409/en-us
it works 100%
I hope it works with you as well
Nice one Abd654. Hope that helps you bor. GL
I have a problem getting in to "Connect to PC" I followed the instructions on holding the power and camera buttons, etc. but it won't go to "connect to pc" screen. . it's just keeps on flashing the "Samsung Omnia 7 logo" on the screen everytime I turn it on.
I tried doing hard reset but I cant because once the hard reset screen shows up, the phone just restarts again then the start up loop happens again. .
try this one this is from microsoft answer

Omnia 7 stuck boot screen

Hi,
New phone and new to Windows phone 7. Classic story - the phone has stuck in boot screen, it says only "Samsung Omnia 7" and that's all. I have tried all tips I could find from internet - took the battery out and let it sit, tried to hard reset it -nothing. Actually hard reset button combination seemed not to work - when I turn it on, holding camera and volume down buttons, nothing happens, it shows boot screen and that's all. It do switch to the download mode when I turn it on holding camera and volume up buttons. I tried to reflash it (got the rom files that it came originally), and after restart the situation is the same - boot screen stuck and nothing happens.
I used WP7_downloader version 7.41, Samsung USB drivers v5.02. The weird thing was that older versions of WP7_Downloader did not work - told that flash lock was on. 7.41 seemed to work, it erased and downloaded all areas fine. I don't know if this is normal, but the flashing process itself took about 120 seconds only. I tried alternative ROM (classic I8700XXJK1), the flashing time was slightly different, but nothing changed, after flashing the device restarts and stuck to the boot screen. As I have read the flashing process should took about 10 minutes or so? I waited for about 20 minutes and nothing changed.
Can I switch the device to some debug mode or do something else that could lead me to the reason the device is not booting?
Omnia 7 stuck at boot screen after
I upgraded to Mango last week and i now too am stuck at the "Samsung Omnia 7" boot screen.
The phone seemed to do two updates, the first suceeded no problem. I started the update before going to bed. In the morning it had completed the first and was awaiting my pin code to start the device. All good.
It then prompted about the Mango update. I clicked it and left it for an hour or so. Came back and zune stated it was on the step, "restarting the phone".
The phone was showing "Samsung Omnia 7", i left it for another hour and then came back, no progress.
Nothing i've found on the net up until today has worked for me.
I can enter the format and download modes still.
This is what i've found and tried so far.

(Did a device wipe to factory defaults, and its still stuck at boot screen

(yes this is an older issue but it looked like it was working until it said something about "flash lock").
Next step is a complete ROM reinstall. But i'd really like to find out precisely which ROM i should try and if Mango is the actual culprit. I'd like to reinstall Mango if possible.
My Omnia 7 was bought secondhand.
I am with Telstra NextG carrier.
After mango update mine is behaving strange too. It shuts down itself randomly and it is stucking at omnia 7 screen. After a few try I am able to open it. But I noticed something, it's shutting down much more while it's connecting to web or PC. Can this be related? Because I couldn't find another reason about that.

lumia 520 stuck on red screen with nokia logo after trying to rollback to wp8.1

Yesterday I tried to upgrade to windows phone 10 technical preview, but it got stuck on cog wheel page screen with no progress for 2 hours.
I searched a bit on net and found that removing the sd card helped, so I removed the battery between update and removed the battery and then sd card, and rebooted the device. This time it progressed but after some time it stuck in a boot loop, where it would repeatedly restart to cog wheel screen.
I tried all the reset options on the net, but it didn't work. Finally I decided to roll back to windows phone 8.1, using windows phone recovery tool. It successfully started, downloaded required file, started installation and then showed an error and after that it is stuck on a red screen with large NOKIA logo on it.
I have tried everything given here
goo.gl/UVSjQi (xda thread)
goo.gl/A8ltgT (step by step process on how to recover bricked windows phone) and a lot more places.
I think the problem is they want the device to be connected as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but my lumia 520 is detected as "NOKIA FLASH" in windows 10, and it gives error while trying to write data to phone.
I'm trying the same process in windows 8.1 virtual machine, as I post the question here.
F.A.Q.
1. The phone in question is lumia 520
2. On pressing volume down and power key, it reboots to red screen.
3. No I didn't hard reset the phone before starting to upgrade to windows 10 technical preview.

BCD Error Windows Phone - Can't Reset

Phone is an HP Elite X3. Randomly got a blue screen that says error 0xc000098 and something about the \BCD file not having operating system information in it. This is after restarting the phone twice after updating it.
It is not possible to put the phone in flash mode, it just brings back the blue screen when restarted. Can't boot to OS.
Any ideas? The computer does not recognize the phone.

Nokia 5 stuck at boot screen

My Nokia 5 suddenly got stucked at boot screen where it shows "Nokia" in a black background. I haven't done anything like downloading malicious apps/rooting. Just today a system update appeared and I haven't clicked it yet. Its getting hot.
I was using cleanit inside shareit to clean the cache then suddenly my phone hang so I pressed the power button then it doesn't open. After a few seconds it opened and showed that "Nokia" boot screen. I haven't touched the system update yet since I'm not connected to a wifi.
What can I do with this? Non-removable battery and should I just wait for it to get drained or what? It's the global version from Saudi Arabia
Fixed by soft reset
So, I tried to soft reset it by plugging it, press/hold vol up + power btn at the same time. I restarted properly. But still, I don't know why that happened, is it advisable for me to system update?
I have an update this morning and it works well, just update ok. Poor you.
