[Q] Bricked Nokia 521 Lumia Stock ROMs?

Hello I have a Nokia 521 Lumia for T-Mobile and for some reason the phone bootloops when plugged into a charger. I am very familiar with restoring an Android and/or iOS, but have never done a restore for a Windows 8 phone such as this one. I am just wondering where I can find stock files and instructions on how to get this phone working again? Thanks!

I don't think this is my exact issue, but I will give it a try. The reason I say that is because I don't even get rotating cogs, just "Nokia" then bootloop and repeat...
Have you try Hard Reset?
Yes first try the Hard Reset.
If that does not work, you can also try to flash with Nokia Care Suite.

How exactly do you perform a hard reset on this phone?
Wow, I wonder where I could learn that??

Hi, after doing a Hard Reset, the cogs just turn (has been doing this for about 7 hours).
I've tried all the suggestions on here, but the soft reset doesn't work and I can't flash it using the Nokia "Product Support Tool" (Nokia Care Suite) as the "Firmware Repository" is password protected, so I can't download the Firmware required (Vodafone UK, Nokia Lumia 920 Black). help

Hi there, while Anaheiim method would work too it is somewhat more cumbersome, Nokia developed a tool specially for sittuations like yours, simply download Nokia Software Recovery Tool connect your device to PC and start the program, then simply press install, the tool will do all for you, no interactions needed.

He didn't mention anything about debranding, if he does want to unbrand, then indeed go Anaheiim route.

There is "TWO" ways to recover your Device.
1. Windows Phone Recovery Tool for Windows 10 recovery to revert your particular OS Update.
-without losing your any data.
-required to download 600/700 MB Update files.
2. Lumia Software Recovery Tool for recover the "WHOLE" OS to the STOCK ROM.
- all data will be lost
-required 1.5 GB .FFU Image file.
Windows Phone Recovery Tool in ''waiting for connect''...
Lumia Software Recovery Tool tried but ''the phone is not compatible with Lumia Software Recovery Tool''...
@djamol
There are also Nokia Care Suite, between others

Yes, Of course !
I just told about the Recovery Tool.
@johntheredimid
My Lumia 520 RM-914 India Supports both Tools and it should be support for your device too.
Looks like your device is bricked or anything else, i don't know.
need to catch the service center for any memory damage.
Edit: Collect and READ the log files for any help.

Bricked my lumia 520
I am facing the same issue with my lumia 520 as well..
went down to the nokia care... they charged me to even check what went wrong... and they quoted that it's a Hardware crash and they need to send it to their head office and it might cost around Rs 3550/- in india.
However I personally researched more and found out that boot needs to be recovered using JAF ATF box. or needs external hardware to FFU flash the device. #pissedoff

sorry bro, surely if I take mine to the warranty, I will say the same thing to you. Better to throw it away and buy another lumia.

[Q] lumia 820 certificate

Hi everyone !
Recently I've tried to hack my phone to download windows 10 , so I've downloaded Lumia 630 certificate and now everytime I try to enter the windows insider application it closes automatically , I know I have to flash my phone using LSRT but I don't want to do this because I have so much apps and it takes about 4-5 hours installing apps after a reset or a flash
Can anyone here please get me a Lumia 820 certificate ? So I can enter the app without any problem , especially today is the day that windows 10 2nd preview will be available for my device and I'm so excited for it and I don't want to flash my phone
Please anyone get me the 820 certificate , its international version (country variant)
Thanks in advance

how to flash bricked lumia 920? plz Hellp!!

how to flash bricked lumia 920???
Hi,
please indicate, in which state is your 920, the best would be a screenshot/photo of "running" device.
You might have a look at other threads about WPInternals or Windows Device Recovery Tools. I'm a bit experienced on Lumia 920, and except "Unable to find a bootable Option", I found a way for reanimation.
Look at this thread:

Best whishes!
