I had upgraded to Windows 10 sometime back with no issues but had been using just the android side for a few months. When I tried to boot into windows 10 recently, I get the start screen with the dotted wheel turning. I have left the tablet plugged in overnight but with out success. Is it because windows 10 is downloading updates or the OS is somehow corrupted and needs reinstall ?
Thanks for your help

Bad news today :
Wanted to revert to ThaiHugo's light ROM.
Booted Windows 7, executed CustomRUU. After 1 minute, before
the real transfer of files begins, Shift BSOD in Windows 7.
No sweat, I thought, just reboot Windows 7, and hope that WinMo ROM wasn't touched yet.
However, even after removing the battery, Shift won't go to Bios, nor will it boot Vista. After power on, the HDD clicks, and that's it. If I wait long enough, the Fans will start blowing air.The power indicator is on, and the HDD led never flashes....
The WinMo part can be seen to work, albeit very rarely.
So now I'm stuck with an unbootable Windows 7, as it won't even do BIOS, and without WinMo.
Anyone else suffered from this and how did you recover ?
I'm glad it's a 2 year warranty, would have gone ballistic !

Did you try to downgrade to Vista and try to flash the original SnapVue?
Can't even get to the BIOS
I cannot try much anymore... device just won't boot to the bios. Only the powerled is working.
So if I take out the battery, and unpug the powercord, and wait 10 minutes, my device should at least show the bootscreen and BIOS, it doesn't.
Strangely, WinMo once in a while does fully boot, regardless the fact that the other side is "dead"
A very very peculiar problem, it seems that the BSOD while flashing a ROM has locked the EC controller and my Harddrive permanently.
I've been playing with computers for 30 years now, this one is ODD, really really ODD.
Frak, now that SD and BT will be out, my shift will be in for repairs.

Can you do a Fn>F10 to boot from a cd drive? If so, boot your Windows 7 from the cd to do a repair....That's what I had to do.
So I installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my laptop which was running Windows 7, I partioned about 200 GB of my hard drive to it. But I just never used it so I decided to uninstall it, but I never re-partioned it's hard drive space for Windows. I've been running my laptop for about a week with no problems on Windows 7.
Last night my computer's battery died and when I tried to boot all I got was some black screen saying "error: no such parition" "grub rescue>"
Anyone know how I can get back to Windows and prevent this from happening again?! Please help

1) Insert windows 7 CD or USB stick (something bootable)
2) Select your region and language
3) Pick repair at bottom left of the screen, and it should detect the issue and fix the boot sector. If not, pick "Startup repair". Now reboot and it should be fixed
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!

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.

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...
Hello everyone
I just wanted to ask if there's any solution to what I'm facing right now.
Basically, every time I connect my phone to PC to mirror the screen, the phone restarts. That includes smart view and side sync screen sharing. I have tried re-installing side sync in my PC, in my phone, as well as factory reset my Phone and formatting my PC (one by one).
Current Android version, according to my phone, is Android 7.0
It used to work around 3 months ago, but now it just decides to restart every time I try to mirror my phone screen to my PC.
Thank you for your time~
I have the same problem!
