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.

And that tells you he does not want unbrand same time?

He didn't mention anything about debranding, if he does want to unbrand, then indeed go Anaheiim route.
I have looked and looked to no avail, is it no longer possible to flash Lumia firmware through the Nokia Care Suite anymore? I can not seem to find the RM-820 in the open product. Everything tutorial I have seen says to find it in there I did see a comment in a thread where someone said that they didn't think Nokia is allowing that anymore. Is this true? I have the spinning cogs so I wanted to flash the firmware...
So I'm stuck and all help on the internet seems outdated. Is there something I'm missing?
just read forum... there is few ways to download firmware....

there is a new tool released by nokia that is supposed to help recover / flash phones if they become stuck during boot or flash.
From memory it is called nokia software recovery tool. maybe you could try that if you can find it. I read about it on a site lastnight but can not remember where i saw the info about.
Google may help or it may have even been on here..

I downloaded and installed Nokia Care Suite on a Windows 8.1 PC just last night (EST in New York). I then used to install the Amber update onto a RM-878 that I just bought from Amazon - worked flawlessly.

That is exactly what I am talking about. I have read the thread, followed the thread up until it say under product type. Under the sim tray it says RM-820 and there isn't a RM-820 in there, thus this question got asked. I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand through this, I just wanted to know if the RM-820 is or isn't supported with Nokia Care Suite. I know that the software works, flawlessly even, not saying it didn't. I have the firmware downloaded don't need the firmware. Just wanted to know if the Lumia was still supported by Nokia Care Suite, if I was missing something obvious.

What Phone do you have - reason I ask is that the original thread is a little confusing - there is of course a Lumia 820 but its actual Product Type is RM-824 and if you use the 824 Product Type from this thread:Nokia Lumia 820 Product Code (Product Type RM-824)
at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49364933&postcount=10 it shows dozens of codes to use for the Nokia Care Suite depending on country and carrier.

Yes, I installed/forced Windows 10 TP on my phone, everything worked fine ... the problem is when I tried restore to Lumia Denim with the application Windows Phone Recovery Tool, start the red screen, but instantly failed and turn off ... no response, no vibrates... connecting the pc jumps '' QHSUSB_DLOAD '' with the correct driver. But other program NOT detected. What I can do?

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.

I'm coming just seeing, WPRT well download ROM (hardware product code) whole, in my case (NL620) 1.52 GB. This software is exactly the same as LSRT for example, he flash the entire ROM.
no work for me. Tengo win7 x64, in win8 work?
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.
how to unbrick ur lumia 520
hello friends ,
even i bricked my phone i.e lumia 520 during updating it to windows 10 preview . what should u do is take another lumia 520 (which is in normal condition) and connect it to the windows phone recovery tool 2.1.0 and let it detect and after downloading the package remove the lumia 520 {which is in normal condition} and connect the bricked 520 and then click install , the package will get installed , this worked for me so good , hope it works with you all guys , thank you and all the best
how do i trick Lumia softare recovery tool that my phone is Lumia x30? and flash that Lumia ROM into my phone?
why are you making the app trick your phone type in the first place? I don't think you can.
I'd try with Nokia care suite that let you really flash roms, but it will obviously refuse to do that, even if you managed to flash another rom you'd brick the phone
Hi everbody,
i have two 1020 here. One France version and one German.
In both i unlocked the bootloader succesful and had the engineering SBL3 added to the flashing process.
Now in both of these devices i cant gain access to the mass storage mode via Windows Phone internals 2.8.
Both devices are on WP8.1. The German device has Denim and the France one has Cyan update.
The reason i want mass-storage access is for root, so i can install Lumia Camera again. Both phones have the standard Microsoft cam with very few options.
I softreseted the phone several times while it was doing nothing after it was in flash mode. But every time it gets stuck before it can get to mass storage mode.
PC OS ist Win10pro 1909
Does anybody know why i cant gain acess to the mass storage mode ?
Best regards
interesting.. here's my sbl3 file go try itLink
Hi,
I don't know, if there is a way to install an app via mass storage mode.
I think it is nearly impossible to add new apps to a WP 8.x Lumia as the store is closed and development registration does not work either, so you could deploy manually.
As far as I remember I installed the stock german ROM and Lumia Camera was integrated. You could try an update on one of your Lumias, but always consider that WP8.1 is no more supported by Microsoft and the store is unavailable. As for the camera, a Windows 10 update is not an option. You would get back the App store, but loose at least the 41 MP feature. People write about having 38 MP. Maybe you could buy a third 1020 in ebay-kleinanzeigen with a broken display for testing, update to W10mobile and test the camera features.
Best regards,
Joachim

My advice to you is you use 1020 as mp3 or tablet on windows 10 mobile
just unlock the bootloader and install lumia apps use be good with 8.1 )
