Rolling back to 8.1 has created a mess. - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a lumia 620 . Upgraded to build 10586.164 using the insider configuration. Did a factory reset and ran that for a day or two. Somehow the device created a backup file for the apps/settings etc. Had performance issues - battery drain , scrolling used to flicker a bit , so I rolled back to 8.1.
Restored from the same back up file , and now my 620 on 8.1 too had issues , scrolling was a mess , same flickering as it was there on .164. Did a hard reset again and this time didn't restore from any backup file but the problem was still there. I thought it was my device's issue.
So I switched to lumia 1020 ( my brother had one). It was on 8.1 only. It was running pretty well as 8.1 runs usually. Did a factory reset as I had to login from my microsoft account. Restored from the same backup file again and all the issues mentioned above came to my 1020. Did a hard rest like a million times , with that backup without that backup , different msft account and what not. I tried everything. But still no success.
I even flashed my lumia 1020 guessing maybe my firmware has gone corrupted or something but still no success. I flashed my lumia 1020 with the windows phone image designer which only takes the .ffu file.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem ? I have posted this everywhere , Gabe aul's twitter account , windows insider forums etc etc. But no solution found yet. Can anyone help me on this ?
Tried flashing 1020 via Nokia care suite too , but that doesn't work anymore. Can anyone suggest me anything ? The battery drain is freaking me out. Just by restarting I lose 4-5% of the battery , please help !

Dont install backup.

As I mentioned , I've tried that too.. Still no luck

Take it to service center and let us know what they about it. May be the storage has developed bad sectors?

That might be the reason , but aren't these bad sectors automatically fixed when we flash the original ROM to the phone ?
If not , can you suggest a way for doing it ? Or Service center is the lone option ?

[Q] Please help LG P970 cannot read SD and Camera force closes!

Hello everybody........Great website by the way very helpful all the time.If anybody can please help me it will truly be appreciated...Thanks in advance!Long story short.....My GF was taking a video with her LG P970 and then it stopped because the SD had just reached its limit so the camera just forced closed.After that I noticed the phone became laggy(More than it already is btw)then there was a message in the notifications bar "Removed SD card"although it was still in the phone.The phone then started to freeze so I took out the battery and turned it on again but still the phone kept saying "Removed SD card"and when I tried the camera it would never open just a black screen would pop up and nothing......Just force close....(Good grief)..........So heres what ive tried.1.Factory Data Reset from privacy menu in settings.2.Tried other SD cards (5 other ones by the way).3.LG support mobile tool updating.4.Smartflash program to reset the phone to stock.5.Tried a bunch of different DRIVERS to see if it could find the SD on the computer.6.Ive also tried downloading a camera app from market but they all just FC's.ETC,ETC,ETC.So there you have it after all that still no SD CARD found and the camera app still crashing.I would give up and say that its a HARDWARE problem but Ive had something like this happen before with my Nexus One and somebody flashed some camera thing on it and it worked again.Her P970 is not rooted or anything like that btw.Thanks again
Well, I think it's time for LG's repairservice.
If you haved played with the rom her a method to go back to an unrooted stock ROM, due you mentioned Smarttool, and this isn't a program for consumer purpose from LG. Aniway it may help:
Flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1
and Here the stock firmwares: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
Regards.
Thank you very much for the response.......Ive tried both of the links but unfortunantly theyre dead links.......Also I forgot to mention that I am new to Root/Flash techniques so not so good.Using the Smartflash tool has been the only thing ive ever used............But I have a question?Do you think ROOTING and maybe putting a different Rom may solve the problem?Maybe CyanogenMod idk?Thanks in advance......And would you have a good link to view "ROOTING FOR DUMMIES"because I wouldnt know the first thing to do with a ROM.Thanks
Link updated!
I definitely don’t recommend to play with rooted roms with devices with hardware problems.
What I have linked is a tool to bring the device to stock conditions and so bring it to the service without trouble. You have said you have used Smartflashtool, this may have flashed some unofficial stuff which erase your guarantee claims.
Be aware that you do this things on your own risk!
nothing to do?

someone really solved this problem? Is frustrating 'cause i can not use my card at all, my camera don't work and some days it freezes 20 times, I must to take out the battery and it freezes again after 2 minutes.. I tried flashing it, restore factory settings, not installing nothing, updating os, but it's getting worst. I am out of warranty.. I think I will crash it with a hammer.

I have had similar issue, my phone sometimes started after leaving my phone for several minites. But there was no network. I googled and found that this happens because of corrupted imei partition. Gave it to nokia care they fixed it free under warrenty.
I downgraded it with V 2.0.0.11 but after selecting language it hangs on (please wait) then restart again..I downloaded Rm-1013 2.1.0.13 059V782 via (nokia software updater for retail) and just has boot loop...do you suggest me a soultion please? thanks
Oh, maybe cuz with( V 2.0.0.11 ) it starts normaly but when after selecting language it hangs on (please wait)for a long time then reboot but when I flashed it with (2.1.0.12 and 2.1.0.13) it complete sucessfully ...but loop boot again....please tell me how to fix it. If you already know .Cuz I have no Nokia Care
in here......thanks in advance

I tried already. I didn't work. My phone isn't even responding to any thing I do again. Doesn't come on. All it shows is QHSUSB_BULK in devices and printers. I also can't flash because my phone doesn't show the Nokia logo that allows me start the flashing process.
so.your phone is bricked ! take it to nokia care or a technician who has tools box or dongle ..it cannot be fixed with at home.. or check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/general/tutorial-unbrick-nokia-x2-t2905280

I have had the same problem with my nokia x2 About 2 months ago.I had tried everything you mentioned above but nothing worked.The handset kept restarting and there were no signal on both of my sim cards.So, i unrooted my device using nokia xtools and gave it to nokia care.I told them that the problem started after trying to update it
Then they replaced my x2's whole motherboard under warrenty.It took almost 2 month to get my x2 Back and now it's working fine.
Best of luck bro...trust me there's no other way to fix this without nokia care.
your phone may work like in the following screenshot.. you need nokia bb5 Best tool box

First try Hard Reset, if that wont help, the go back to stock 8.1 update 2 (with Windows Device Recovery Tool), then with slow ring update it to 10586.11. For now use only what Microsoft offers, dont experiment for now, because you'll have a problem again. There is a lot of bugs on no official builds.
Hello Opus Dei, ive followed your instructions to the letter but still cant leave flight mode. Do you have anymore ideas on how i can releave my problem? I dont know if this info will help you any - I'm using a Microsoft Lumia640 LTE, i was on stock rom then i installed the insiders app & updated my phone but i used the "fast" method. The first update was fine then a couple of days later i had another update note so i did that but when the update was finished & the fone went to reboot itself it just kept boot-looping, i left it doing this overnite but still no joy so i used the "install 105##" but when the fone rebooted it was stuck in flight mode & i cant get round it & i'd bought the fone for my sons birthday which is this week so im willing to try any of your instructions to solve the problem. Im hoping you or anybody else has a solution to get me out of this situation. Thanks to all the helpers - Dave.
Ive noticed that in the "extras & info" section it says "Mobile Operator 000-GB" which ive found to mean open network but my fone was bought locked to Vodafone & when i turn it on its branded with Vodafone. Could this be anything to do with my problem?

I need to get my lumia920's ROM back after using DHTUpgradeAdvisor

hello. I used DHTUpgradeAdvisor on my Lumia920 and one time I forgot to turn on backup my phone , so I used Allow update and my phone became to 950xl and I can't make it back to 920 again. restore backup doesn't work because I didn't used backup before pressing Allow update. so my phone information is 950xl and I got some issues by opening some apps ( they won't open and will stay in loading for ever ). can someone help me how to get back to 920 without doing reset factory ? I really need to do it.
lumia920 , windows 10 build : 15063
