Currupt Programs and failed boots

Hi , ive had the issue with randomly being stuck in the SPL a few weeks ago but the problem seemed to just go away by itself . Yesterday i flashed a ROM and noticed that after the first or second reboot i was getting stuck at the boot screen (Not the SPL the screen after that with the info in red) .
Today i flashed back to my current ROM and noticed the same problem again when installing programs one cab would fail and all other installs after that . When i rebooted i got stuck at the boot screen (again not the SPL)
so after another try i finally got all programs installed and rebooted but when i reached the today screen my background was gone and i got an exception about the programs in the startup folder not being found .
After opening file explorer it seems most programs are corrupt and will not run . Has anyone got any ideas on what i should try to fix this ?
Update im afraid its not good news i tried to work around the problem with sprite backup but things seem to have got worse .
Im now permanently stuck at the smart mobility screen with my radio information being displayed in red . Ive tried flashing a new rom and hard reseting which is all perfectly stable but i just cant get past the smart mobility screen .
Whats weird is the led on the left is blinking green , Any ideas before i downgrade (tiltscreen) to a Sony X1 (Dpad and hardware buttons)
Similar...May Help Some

Hi there,
We didn't get there the same way, and I don't have the 'blinking green' LED, But I've got a similar "stuck" problem on the Forum here:

I'll follow yours and you can check this one out...I may be getting some help from 'higher powers' soon if I don't find a resolution on my own.
Wish I could actually ANSWER your question, and I'll let you know if I find anything else myself...

Am ok this is weird everythings back to normal now I turned it on this morning and it boots up fine no problems installing programs or anything .
Confused
That's Good...Though Agreed Confusing...News
Wow...so, good for you! I'm happy that your's did not proceed as mine has...or better said, has NOT.
Wish mine would just 'turn on and boot up fine', but it appears that I may be Murphy's bastard child.
Murphy has a theory of relativity that has nothing to do with Mass or the Speed of Light...
It simply states that if you're a relative of Murphy's, it WILL happen to YOU...hence the offspring reference.
On the other hand, confusion can be good...I'll bet it had you searching the Forum and finding out stuff you didn't know.
If nothing else, maybe you found some cool new ways to get into completely different kinds of trouble!
Glad to see your out of the glitch, hang in there...not by your neck!

Crashing Phone!

I got my HD7 this morning but I have a couple of issues...
Main one being it keeps crashing! Software keeps kicking me back to the start menu! I tried uninstalling the software that crashes and master resetting the phone but it still does it.
I am gonna try and get it swapped over shortly (assuming any stock remaining tonight!) but if I can't is there anything I can do to restore the software?
I did download the O2 UK Ruu software but it won't see the HD7 and asks for it to be connected by active sync which windows phone 7 doesn't use! (as far as I know).
(I also have some dead pixels on the screen in case anyone is wondering).

it is a long shot, but if you know how to put the phone in bootloader mode ( I don't know it for a hd7 ) and than plug in the usb cable , maybe you can flash it than (the same as you can do with a wm 6.* phone ) .
My HD7 keeps turning itself off and back on automatically. Haven't done any sort of reset yet as I only got it from the O2 store this afternoon. I just feel it vibrate on my desk and then I see it restarting (I'm doing work on my laptop and I catch it out of the corner of my eye, so I'm not exactly doing anything on it!).
Hopefully it'll stop...
Unlucky man with the dead pixels on the screen. I guess you can rely on O2's 14 day return period if you're not happy with the phone supplied and they won't issue you with an exchange!

[Q] Bricked Lumia 520 after trying to restore WP8.1

Hey guys, i need your help. I decided to install Windows 10 TP today, but i was really disappointed. It started to lag, buttons were not working correctly. So i read a guide how to go back to WP8.1 I connected my phone to PC, after downloading I've got an error at 11-12% It was booting into a strange looking red screen with NOKIA sign on it(i guess it's called UEFI mode) After few errors i connected my phone to another usb port, and it wasn't even booting:crying: Phone is just bricked(it was charged up to 100%). Is the phone completely dead or it's still a chance:angel: Please help me, i am android nerd and... WIndows Phone noob
If you don't have any important data on it, I'd try a hard reset: http://www.hard-reset.com/nokia-lumia-520-hard-reset.html
You need to press those three buttons for a really long time (about 10 seconds) until something happens.
i have a similar Problem. i wanted to reset my phone from the info menu in the tech preview 10, as i thought after that it would be just in stock Windows phone 10 Settings. now the Problem is, that my Lumia 1020 can turn on and boot but after the boot i only have a empty black Screen. the lockscreen and the volume menu is still here but nothing else. any suggestions what now ?
same problem
I tried every possible solution on the internet and yet my lumia 520 is dead.:crying:
Yep I just had the same thing happen actually. Windows Phone Recovery tool failed very early on after flashing its custom bootloader . . . and now the phone refuses to turn on or be recognized by phone recovery tool.
Yay Microsoft!

Lumia 620 Romania - stuck on NOKIA logo with red background

Hello to everyone!
I have read everything I could find and tried a long list of things but unfortunately I am at a loss.
So I've come to you, as I can see that here there are a lot of people that have been through a lot.
Long story short: my Lumia 620 had Windows 8.1 GDR2 on it. Some cool thought said: install Windows 10 Insider Prev.
Well it installed, but I then wanted to revert. I first tried to do a hard reset using the button combination and the phone got stuck on the spinning gears.
I managed then to get the phone into the thunder logo mode. Unfortunately Windows Phone Recovery Tool did not recognize my phone.
There were a lot of tries until i came across the way with Nokia Product Support Tool.
So I did what was said there. And my phone got to reboot into a red background with NOKIA logo and a progress bar. It made it to the first quarter and then Nokia Product Support gave an error. I tried restarting the program, the phone, etc... only God knows what I did not try...
Now my phone is stuck at the NOKIA logo with red background and will not be seen either by Thor2, PST, WPRT and I can't even find it in the device manager.
WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY?!
LATER EDIT: I know why it died now.
I recently did the same thing with another 620, but this time the battery was full. I think that the other phone's battery died in the process of rewriting the firmware thus resulting in a hard brick. - mystery solved.
flash your phone
same problem with my lumia 620....flash your phone
Yay, I didn't think of that!
But seriously, I can't - the PC doesn't recognize it at all.

check device manager, does it flick when you connect the phone?
use a usb viewer to uninstall all the drivers related to your phone.

It flicks only when the phone is off, or the battery is out.
As soon as the phone starts up and shows NOKIA in white over red background, nothing exists in Device Manager related to the phone.

Yes you can reflash with nokia flash tool
Turn off your phone.
Note If your phone is currently stuck on the manufacturer's logo, try removing the battery to turn it off.
Disconnect your phone from the USB cable.
Hold down the camera button.
Continue holding down the camera button and connect the USB cable between your phone and computer.
Continue holding down the camera button until you see the connect-to-computer screen.
Release the camera button.
Leave the phone restart alone, will take around 4/5 minutes.
I hope this will surely works for you, if not then visit Nokia Lumia 620 Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-lumia-620-manual&po=672223&lang=English for help.

Boot loop (hard-reset loop) on lumia 820

Hey guys,
yesterday my brother gave me his old Lumia 820 because my Nexus 4 is broken. He did a soft-reset before.
It seems like the screen wasn't locked, so i had the phone in malaysian.
No problem i tought, a hard reset will do.
The point is that the hard reset runs ~ 1 min (spinning gears), after I see a sad emoticon : - (, it restarts and goes again into hard reset with the same results.
When I turn the phone on again (just power button) after it was off, i see those gears with the sad face again.
The only other way is to come to a screen with flash and a gear, connected to a PC it's recognized as Qualcomm MSM device, neither Windows Phone recovery tool or Lumia recovery tool recognize the phone.
I guess my brother had installed the latest Windows Phone 10 developer preview.
So... any idea?
Thanks
Sebastian
Use the thor2 tutorial to come back to life.
Sent from the space.
I got a bit forward,
i used the Lumia Recovery Tool while the gear and the flash was showing, after some minutes, i really got offered to flash the device.
I ran all updates until I was shown that there is no update available, then I used the Windows Insider App and the fast ring to upgrade to Windows 10.
Again an update was found then and it was working on the update.
After I was away for an hour, came back and found the device in a boot loop. Nokia logo, two gears, progress bar (no progress), after seconds a black screen and a reboot... Looks like im not able to try WP10...
