If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

(post this here as well, just in case)
Hey! I see we are very close...
I have some xml files that belong to the Huawei Ascend W1, maybe they can help us to generate the mbn, they contain partition info but I wasn't able to generate the mbn because the tutorial was for an old version of QPST and they changed the XML structure.
I can't post directly into your thread because I have less than 10 posts in XDA, but I will upload it when i'm home.
We have the bin/hex now, Maybe this could be the final piece of the puzzle.
If it works, we can even create our own free tool to solve this problem (until MS releases an official one) and stop InfinityBox and others from making profit out of this problem.

Can you make step-by-step guide fo recovery phone?
I have Lumia 920 brick

Can't find HEX for my RKH: 3676E9A0045A7EF8417B8E0E0677CED5F9DD47799826AEAE75F7081818DE716E
How can I get it? Please, help

CD84376222AAF204C85119532BF34EA55C8844E4.bin problem
Hi, since bin2hexQ not working correctly for some BIN files in the list.
MIT bin2hex have been found and compiled (with slight code changes for c++). Did this, because I'm working on x64 bit system. See code and exe in attachments.
Still looking for solution with CD84376222AAF204C85119532BF34EA55C8844E4.bin.
Sure thing, :020000042A00D0 as first line, :040000052A000000CD as one before last added.
Thanks to Cicin7 on MS forum, also added following string
:020000042A01CF
between
:10FFF0009104012A01000000000000000000000040
and
:1000000001000000E8FF002A01000000900000004D
to prevent memory overwriting, but thor2 still saying:
THOR2_EMERGENCYFLASHV1_ERROR_MSG_SEND_RECEIVE_FAILED
THOR2 1.8.2.15 exited with error code 85021 (0x14C1D)
Does anybody have any ideas, what's wrong with the hex(file attached)?

Yet no luck with Lumia 925 and CD84376222AAF204C85119532BF34EA55C8844E4.bin. Unfortunately, current solution is not working for us
---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------
In MPRG_HEX.zip, generated files for bigger *.bin files are wrong (for files of 73 kb original size).
Those files are very different from generated by bin2hex (not bin2hexQ).

Edit : Actually i don't think it's a driver problem !
PS : My phone is a 925 (RM-910)
It was a problem on the hex file, i generated a new one(attached),
here is the result

I have Lumia 925 (RM-892). And provided hex, just like the hex files I've prepared is not working for my device.

Thank you John.
Actually my experiments started based on your thread only. You had provided enough data (like all the binary files, tools, etc. etc.) to investigate the recovery process. Thanks a lot

WORKS!!!
YEAH!! THANK YOU!!!
anything you want to ask me pls, do it (lumia 520 ^^)

The fact that you getting -1 after sending the hex, means your hex is wrong.
If your Lumia 925 is RM-910, you still have a chance. In attached archive there are correctly converted HEX files for models, with big binaries.
Else, it won't help you. Our fellow friend Cicin7 on MS forum, did sniffed the data packages send/recived by device during flashing. And this is what his got:
RM892 seems to be cursed. I used an USB communicaton sniffer to look at the command where it fails. Upload of flasher seems OK, then the GO command is sent:
7E 05 2A 00 00 00 DE BA 7E
and device responds:
7E 03 00 0A F2 86 7E, which, according to Qualcomm documentation is NAK packet (03) with reason "Write-verify failed" (000A). I have no idea what hides under this error.
Expected response would be 7E 02 ...

Correct hex files are attached to previous message.
If you want to generate your own - there is an instruction on a top post in the thread - just follow the instruction, covert *.bin to *.hex, and then edit it a bit.
But, since you are RM-89x owner, there will be no difference - even correctly generated HEX from provided BIN files (CD84376222AAF204C85119532BF34EA55C8844E4.bin in our case) will not give you any results.
I won't say our devices are doomed, but there is for sure no correct MPRG flasher is available for now.

Thanks!!! Worked - dead boot repair

Download and install Windows device Recovery Tool
Download from Lumiafirmware.com your model's Emergency files and ffu file
Locate thor2.exe and open a command line in that directory
Emergency and SFFU programming for Collins and Alpha:
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "{downloaded hexfile, full path!}" -mbnfile "{downloaded mbnfile, full path!}" -ffufile "{downloaded ffufile, full path!}.ffu"

If some one interest this mehod. Contact me. I only tested on x2 1 sim rm1014 prototype. I dont have x2 rm1013 retail to test

Picture from early x platform 2.0 . same result like aosp 4.3 dev fw

This for introduction

Open Thor2, type:
thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile "path to ede file" -edfile "path to edp file"
Done you will see in Device Manager,it will show lumia usb connectivity
But no display because it just repartition few partition of WP

this introduction worked on nokia x2 rm1014 with fw 1426 locked modem

Lumia 925: I need help in jailbreak!

Hi, I had a Lumia 925 and wanted to jailbreak it since I found a few people who did this and I wanted it for my own reasons. Anyway, as with all the guides, I used the Windows Phone Internals tool. I downloaded all of the files from LumiaFirmware.com and I opened Windows Phone internals, selected Unlock bootloader and added all of the files (rebooting to Flash mode, of course) and it wouldnt let me start. It would always say: The OS version is not supported. Use a donor-FFU. I tried with another FFu, but it still did not work (I tried flashing the downloaded rom and trying again, but same thing). Anyway, now I did something and now the device is recognised in Windows as "Qualcomm QHSUSB-DLOAD". How can I restart the phone? Windows Phone Internals does not recognize it.

By the way, this is my first time doing things, I may have done something wrong. I did download all drivers, in case you are wondering

Hi,
open windows device manager and use the windows/nokia emergency driver for your device. Then look for thor2.exe, it is a part of WindowsDeviceRecoveryTool.
Open a command prompt window.
Type/paste thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\FAST8930_BATMANROW.hex -mbnfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_msimage_v1.0.mbn -ffufile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_3056.40200.1407.0002_RETAIL_eu_euro2_1168_02_405247_prd_signed.ffu
REPLACE my product RM994 with your product and the file names too. Replace D:\Packages\Products with the directory on your PC. You get the emergency files from lumiafirmware.com.
Contact me if there are problems, we will sort that out.
Regards,
Joachim

Lumia 720 brick while unlocking bootloader

People, please help!
I decided to unlock my lumia 720, I did everything according to the instructions. At first everything went fine, but then wpinternels got stuck on flashing done. rebooting. Then the computer just stopped seeing the phone. Now the phone does not turn on and does not charge, generally like a dead one. Even wdrt doesn't see it. Is it a brick or not? Help!

Hi,
please have a look into your device manager. If you find something like Qualcomm Boot loader device, proceed with one of those many instructions "unbrick without JTAG". I think your Lumia is in emergency mode.
You may also look for thor2.exe on your computer, it is in the Windows Device Recovery Tool subdirectory. Open a command line window, type thor2>help.txt and open help.txt with a text editor. Look up emergency mode. You will find something like [thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\FAST8930_BATMANROW.hex -mbnfile D:\Packages\Products\RM-994\RM994_msimage_v1.0.mbn]. Notice, that is for my phone, not a 720. File name and directory entries must be changed to your needs, but hopfully you will understand the pattern.
Good luck!
Joachim

I'm not have this in device manager. Computer doesn't see my phone.

Did you try a different USB cable, different USB port on your computer (rear side if you have a desktop or tower pc)? Did you pull the battery or press volume down ans power switch at the same time for about 20 seconds to make a power reset?
You might pn me a screenshot of your device manager.

I tried 4 different cables and different usb connectors on my laptop, still doesn't help. I also tried to hold the keys, the phone vibrates and nothing else happens. I can't remove the battery because on the lumia 720 it's not removable and I don't have a screwdriver to remove the back cover.

I am using windows 8.1 64 bit on my laptop. When you connect the phone in the device manager, nothing changes.
