[Completed] can i recover my lumia phone? - XDA Assist

on my lumia 925 i was going to update to the windows 10, and when it was ready to install, it restart and the gears begin to spin, however it restart but in the gears the gauge doesn't fill, then no more than 5 or 7 seconds and it restart again the lumia has been stucking in this eternal loop of AT&T LOGO FOLLOWING THE GEARS.
i can prove that i have done everything in the correct way:
1. i have my account in hte windows insider program.
2. i have the app of windows insider.
3. i have leave it download all the night.
4. the smartphone has the full charge.
5. and for credibility: i'm a student of software development.
the big trouble is for the lumia software recovery tool and nokia care suite, with the lumia recovery, i open it in: MY PHONE DOES NOT START OR RESPOND and the software can't recover my phone because i have done a hard reset, flash mode and i still don't know all the combination bottoms to put an end to the loop while it is connected to the pc, while it is without connect it just turn off, it is the same for nokia care.
please someone help this is my only, i know that this is a risk but in the end i was hoping just common errors but THIS!!!.
PS: i live in Panamá there is not a microsoft store, there is not a windows phone expert.

[Q] HTC HD2 is not starting because of wp7

Hi Everyone,
I'm new in here but i'm always interested in software developments but I wasn't know anything about HTC or windows phone systems. I installed the new radio, magldr and last the new rom for windows phone 7. I started it witout problems and I tried to install programs in it with chevron. (I installed the certificate and the zune&phone developers apps to my PC) after that I couldnt install any programs to my phone because of some issue I cant understand clearly. But the main problem is, now, I cant turn on my phone. When I hit the power button nothing happens. Only when I connect it to a PC with usb or a charger it became on and after booting and the DFT screen comes out, its turning off with a light sound which is like a fuse clicking sound. Its going on like this, its resetting continuously. I can reach the magdlr screen and oem bootin screen with pushing volumedown button and I installed the whole programs again from the start but nothing changed. Please help. Thanks.
There is a forum specifically for the HD2 running WP7. You should post you question there so those experts can help you.

Yes, I had a similar issue with my 1020 on O2 in the U.K. Although the install did finally manage to complete, the functionality of the of the phone was practically non-existant and the B1G selling point of the Lumia camera, was no longer compatible with Windows 10. I would strongly advise you give Windows 10 a wide berth if you have a 1020, because on Windows 10, the phone just doesn't work!
I ended up downloading WindowsPhoneRecoveryToolInstaller.exe, but after reading up on the subject I chose to use LumiaSoftwareRecoveryToolInstaller.exe instead.. I have to say, it worked a treat, but be warned, it takes upto 2 hours to complete, once it does though... You should have the phone you know and love back up & running.
Hope it works for you!

I’ve tried all this program like NSU, NCS, Windows Recovery Tool, Lumia Recovery tool, all then I have installed all drivers but no one can recognize my 1020, I’ve tried on my 830 and works normally.
And USB is working because when I plug in he enter in lopping, AT&T Logo > Nokia Logo > Gears > Sad Face > Reboot. I try to make like Hard Reset but doesn't work, only I can enter is in on screen with a Gear and bolt.
Maybe exist other mode to try connection.

Lumia 1320 ENOSW RF INACTIVE ???

Hello everyone.
All over the internet, this problem is nowhere mentioned and i really hope to find a solution.
A customer delivered me this Nokia Lumia 1320.
It boots up with the Nokia logo, then it says:
ENOSW
RM994 3055.40000.9200.10517
345808 2013/11/20
RF INACTIVE
Customer assured me that nothing happened to the phone and nothing was done to the software.
I already gave the internal battery a full charge overnight with an external power supply.
if i try to do a full restore, it brings up the gears, restarts after 20 or 30 seconds with the same ENOSW message again.
Computer recognizes it, but the windows recovery tool ofcourse doesn't recognize it, also nokia care suite says it's an unsupported model.
Booting it up with powerbutton + vol up works with the lightning symbol, but then the computer doesn't recognize it all.
All this plus the fact that i really am not good with windows phones and the flashing of it.
Hopefully anyone has a solution, or knows what this message means?
Seems like some sort of test, but how to get rid of it and make this phone startup????
Any help is really greatly appriciated.
Kind regards,
Yves

[HELP] Cannot factory reset a Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) on Metro PCS

Greetings to all the developers and registered users on this site... Yes, this is my first post, but I read here pretty often and I used the search function, trust me! Seriously, I've tried all I could and I am at my wits end, but this is technology, we can't let it own us, we gotta continue owning it and that's what online communities like xda help us do, so thanks for all your past, present, and future contributions here. So I got this Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) that I can't factory reset for a number of reasons, but mainly because I believe that there is either no boot-loader or no recovery partition as a result of Metro PCS flashing the ROM...
Anyway, lets get to the juice:
- Device powers on/off, but no combo of Vol -/+ and Power buttons bring up a recovery menu or anything (holding any combo down just boot-loops)
- Device has no SIM and no micro SD card, and the battery is not removable
- Device is locked... Like, pattern-locked/google account info/too many attempts/yada yada yada
- Device has no data and no WiFi connection active, so I could not use the google account to get past the lockscreen
- Device does not have USB debugging enabled/Google drivers for ADB do not work (Windows 7 auto-detects when I plug in the phone and installs a generic Microsoft driver which cannot be removed even after uninstalling the device, and also I pointed the Device Manager to the correct Google drivers I installed with the Android SDK Tools, as well as the Samsung Naked Universal Drivers I found on this forum, and Kyocera ADB drivers I found through Google which all failed, Windows returned a message stating that the most up-to-date or best driver for this device is already installed)
What I've tried (everything possible really):
- Hard reset/Recovery from phone: FAILED
- Connect to Linux and install ADB, then tried running the adb shell, adb devices, fastboot devices, etc but phone not detected: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and install ADB (Android SDK Tools), I literally checked every single box and installed Platform-tools, google drivers, everything, got to the command prompt as admin, cd to the ADB directory, ran same commands as in linux, also tried commands on several forums and posts like adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key to remove the lock but everything: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt to install proper drivers using RootGenius, MoboRobo, PDAnet, and several other suggestions which all were oblivious/unable to detect the device despite Windows recognizing it, so they all: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt running ADB through a Cygwin terminal, but the command "sudo" was not recognized/not valid, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and use XRYViewer to extract data from the phone, possibly to see the system files and get an actual understanding of what everybody is saying you need to mount from the recovery partition, but no clue how to use this, since I can't find an XRY file in the internal storage, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and access data/recover data from device using "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" and "iLike Android Data Recovery Pro" but both programs instructed me to enable USB Debugging, which is not possible, so the both also: FAILED
Despite this being my first post, I have scoured the forums here in addition to every other forum and webpage regarding this issue as well... There just isn't much about this phone except negative reviews, and I have come to the conclusion that on this particular model phone, I am out of options... I have a paperweight... I'm not very familiar with Android... So please correct me if I'm wrong...
Any input?
I'm curious if there are any options at this point, I have been trying to get through to this phone on several computers for the past couple days and it is frustrating me... Any input from the community would be much appreciated...
Mojo2XL, I guess you did not find an answer?

may be this:
*2767*3855# - Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
I found code in internet, but may be it works? can't check, my "wave" comes to me from USA by post for a few weeks..

Did you happen to get the files the other member posted that was only available for eight days?
Mojo2XL - Sort of.
I saw a youtub video (sorry no link) that says there was a OTA update that changed the phone's firmware that solved all the problems mentioned here. Thing is I have no carrier and cannot find this new firmware, but, I am still hunting....

let me work on this, been trying to master as many FRP bypasses as i can. I don't have the device but a client is in the same boat
I accidentally stumbled upon a something weird. I've managed to make the camera crash to the home screen somehow. I believe this was a result of holding both volume buttons and opening numerous menus while using the camera. My guess is that it overloads it after a certain amount of times and causes it to crash. I've gotten the android UI to crash like this before. I will try to recreate the scenario and update you guys on this. it's on a Kyocera Hydro Wave. Running android 5.0 I believe. Try going wild until the phone starts to lag. eventually stuff will crash and the lock screen may go with it. use this to your advantage and enable USB debugging as quickly as possible because it will reset itself after about 30 seconds. Someone else on YouTube has recently told me that it worked for them. I would look into doing that.

Is there anything a little more realistic possible? Lol, I can see an update available, can't connect to WiFi to update haha. The stuff they lock these phones with anymore i swear
I'm new to this forum, but NOT new to this site . I have visited here on numerous occasions seeking the help that needed . With that being said, I would like to offer a Bonafide, Tried and True way to factory reset the Kyocera Hydrowave . I KNOW that this work's for I have done in on numerous occasions for a friend of mine that works for Metro PCS ....
Step One: Completely power off the phone .
Step Two: Hold the Power AND Volume DOWN Buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY .
Step Three: DO NOT release any buttons, even when you get to the Boot Menu . (Very Important, If you don't do it right, you have to start all over lol ) .
Step Four: Once inside the Boot Menu, ONLY release the Power Button; or the Boot Menu will close and you have to start all over again .
Step Five: Use the Volume Down Button to Highlight the Wipe/Factory Reset Option .
Step Six: Use the Power Button to Select the option .
Step Seven: Watch the bottom of the screen for the progress, and then use the Volume Up Button to restart .
And there you have it . I hope that this helps out SOMEONE out there, because I feel good giving back for the help that I have received on here .
PS.( If you would like for me to post a Video Tutorial on this, can someone please tell me how to post the Video; I guess by me being a Newbie on here, I'm not allowed to do as of yet ) . If Anyone needs to contact me, as I'm not on here very often, my email is [email protected] .

As unrealistic as it may sound it actually works Trust me on this. its similar to the LG attack which... is nothing but entering a long password.
betanews.com/2015/09/16/bypass-the-android-lollipop-lockscreen-by-entering-a-really-long-password
Just give it a go. it already worked for one dude on youtube. it takes a while but it honestly works. If you can get it, update the phone as soon as possible turn the screen timeout off and let it update. when the phone resets the update will install and you will be able to factory reset.
I mean it couldn't hurt. if you're locked out with no factory reset and ADB tools won't work what else can you do?

Nokia 1020 - Pulling my hair out doing recovery

HI everyone,
I'm tearing my hair out a little bit on this one.
Before people ask, I'm aware that Windows Mobile is effectively dead. I have no intention of using this device as an actual phone. I just want to try and use the camera in the phone with the app it was intended to use with.
I have picked up a Lumia 1020. On booting the phone, it seemed to be running a build of Windows Mobile 8.1. It seemed to be missing the full Nokia 1020 Camera app these phones were known for, having instead just the default Windows 8.1 camera app. Of note, a Telstra logo (being an Australian telco) was displayed on startup. I am unsure whether this is just branding or whether Telstra were able to get a custom version of the OS done for this device.
I was thinking the easiest solution is to try and reflash the original operating system that came with the device. This should restore all the original apps the phone came with, including the camera app I intend to use. I am absolutely tearing my hair out trying to get it to work.
The WIndows Device Recovery Tool detects the device and, while it complains that a reflash would install an older build of Windows, it does indeed download a copy and then begins the process. It starts to do the initial reboot, I would presume to put the phone into flash mode, and then gives me the error "The operation ended in failure".
I have obtained a copy of the WPInternals tool, which was a common alternative to do this, as well as a copy of the firmware for the device. This attempts to reboot the phone, and then fails with "Failed to reboot into flash mode".
I know it is a bit of a stretch to get this old phone working, however I do like the camera in it, and all I really want is to flash it with the original apps so I can get the proper camera app - the default Windows Mobile 8.1 just does not give me the full options. I'm not sure whether the fact that this has been branded by Telstra has anything to do with it, but if anyone has stumbled across something like this before and can offer any useful morsels of information, it would be appreciated.
Hi,
sorry for the late reply...
Search for thor2.exe on your computer, it is part of Windows Device Recovery Tool.
Have your Lumia ready, connect the USB cable only to your computer, open a command line window and change into the directory you found thor2.exe in.
Type
thor2 -mode rnd -uefitests -skip_com_scan
and connect your Lumia immediately. Normally thor2 detects it and brings it to the red flash screen. Eventually you will have to repeat this input (press the arrow-up key).
If you need to reset the Lumia ("pull battery"), press and hold the volume-down key and press the switch-on key until it comes to live again.
Hope that helps.
Best regards, Joachim
