[Windows Phone 8 General] juicer52:
Just to be sure I am not repeating a faulty sequence:

Open CMD prompt as admin

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

Am I correct to run thor from this directory??

then run nvi update

then run factory reset

I should be able to copy output after each nvi/factory command?

nvi log:
