I hava a lumia 525 and i mada a backup.img. Can i use it for my lumia 520. These 2 phones have same Qualcomm MSM8227 chipset only the ram is different. :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] trashmaster76:
I wouldn't recommend you to use backups of other phones. You can try it but there is a high chance of bricking your phone. Next time, read the instructions and make a backup. Bad luck for you. :(

Can anyone tell me step by step how to make a backup of my phone I'm on WP 8.1 unlocked bootloader and able to boot in mass storage mode.???
[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] trashmaster76:
Download Win32DiskImager and boot WP Mass Storage Mode.

A new drive letter will show up which you mustn't repair if Windows asks.

Then open Win32DiskImager, click on the folder icon and choose a path for your backup image file.

After this press the "Read" button.

Done!

Ok, I'll tell you the steps I do: I turn on the phone (volume up + power button), connect to the pc, open cmd as administrator, write "adb devices" and it puts me:

"List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Hi, my phone is bricked because i think

i was in the middle of sjrmac's video titled

"How to install Android on Windows Phone! | Nokia Lumia 520/1/5/6 & 720 | Android4Lumia Official"

at 24:35 he says "goto wipe advanced wipe, wipe all partitions" and then blah blah he said "reboot" "in recovery"

i just hit "reboot" now my phone is black. the computer doesnt recognize it correctly but it still makes a noise when i plug it in. i tried "holding the camera button and plugging the phone in" like i did to get the initial backup img. but now that is not working correctly either although my computer KNOWS something is trying to connect, it says it doesnt "recognize it".

Windows phone is Nokia 521 Lumia

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] goombah111:

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

I had overwritten the LK to test the cwm worked but then it did not start and now when I try to flash returned twrp the LK is closed before finishing, when I try to recover it does not detect the adb, neither does the recovery start as seen in the video, the pc detects it, the phone vibrates and you see the logo of Nokia

how can I get back wp8 or start twrp

[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] TBM 13:
Let me see if i understand. The recovery doesn't starts, it's just in the nokia logo right?

Did you try in the bootloader with this?

fastboot oem reboot-recovery

The phone will reboot to recovery (vibration, nokia logo for a while and then recovery has to show).

Try to wait the recovery to appear maybe it will take a while in nokia logo (less than five minutes).

Also, what do you mean with "I had overwritten the LK to test the cwm" and "LK is closed"

To flash other recovery you only have to insert this command in bootloader, nothing else:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and then you just have to reboot phone to recovery.

Messed up installation

Hello XDA, I've recently tried to install Android on my old 520... just for fun, but I've messed up the installation process in TWRP and now the phone won't boot. It won't boot to TWRP either. I've got system backup image file. Is there a way out for me or I am just ****ed up? I would say that the other option is correct.

[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] leocoelho:
Hi I did the tutorial correctly but when I went to clean with ~ uefi2lk ~ in the folder ~ lflash_windows_x86_x64 ~

He stopped in the middle saying he was looking for a device and he never found it now, the phone doesn’t turn on anymore but it still vibrates when trying to connect, I would like to make a recovery to try again or continue.

I expect an answer.

It stopped at the written part ~ looking for a device ~ it didn't flash boot.img how can I continue from here?

I tried to continue the process but cannot find the device.

It stopped right there.

22:24 Minutes

From the tutorial

I still have the backup made by Win32DiskImager.

Update: I got the problem I was on the drive I downloaded a drive update program and I managed to proceed I opened ~ uefi2lk ~ in the folder ~ lflash_windows_x86_x64 again

and he continued the installation, I arrived at twrp but another problem arose in the twrp screen the touch does not work it vibrates to the touch but does not slide the bar or press the buttons.

I tried to recover using the commands

fastboot boot recovery_unsecure.img

adb push fame_wp_unlocked.gpt / cache /

adb shell

sgdisk --load-backup /cache/fame_wp_unlocked.gpt / dev / block / mmcblk0

sync

sync

reboot

I can make the first command ~ fastboot boot recovery_unsecure.img ~

already the second command on the twrp screen when you give the command ~ adb push fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /cache/ ~

the device not found error

the driver being installed and recognized, any light?

I need help i installed android on my lumia 720 but i want to back to wp i had the backup but my problem is the imgman is only for X64 version's of windows but my pc (That i used to install android) has only able to run X86 windows (only 32 bits versions) there's any alternative to imgman64.exe for 32 bits versions?

Solved

Booted the unsecured twrp and restored the fame_wp_unlocked.bin

And forced Emergency qhsusb_9008 mode deleting some partitions (Damaging the gpt) excepting DPP (First partition) and Efiesp

Now i flashed with thor2 using the alpha emergency mode (With the hex and mbm that i downloaded with Wpi) and finally booted in uefiflash (Nokia Red Logo) i flashed my original stock wp8.1 (Original for me means the original product code ffu) and voila my phone is now with wp8.1 (To get fully working in the flash process with thor2 don't forget to add -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset)

[Nokia Lumia 520 Guides, News, & Discussion] no111one:
Have you tried the R3209 resistor method or holding volume keys during boot?

EDL can help you go back to Windows Phone but that'd be a really bad idea assuming you can't just recover partitions on the easy. Volume keys - obvious - changing boot mode. AFAIK VolDN is fastboot and VolUP is recovery, try those.

A blue screen with a sad smiley appear, that means that you have successfully overwritten LK and booted UEFI.

Then you can go ahead.

P.S.: The blue screen with the sad smiley means that something went wrong with Windows Phone/PC.

In that case the phone boots, but cannot load the OS on the MainOS and Data partitions.
