Bricked Lumia 640 lte

[jasonlindholm]

Help

I got the "accidental release" for windows insiders on my l640 & it is bricked.

I have tried over and over to restore it with windows device recovery tool, it downloaded the firmware but at approx 25% of the installation, the device reboots and it fails telling me to try again.

I can only access flashing mode, but as stated; wprt fails every time.

PLS help .

Which one? There's about 15 of them. All I know is wmrt refuses to work.

All I can do is provide Google drive upload of all the files

PS C:\Users\Jasonl\Desktop\Package> thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "%HomePath%\Desktop\Package\FullFlashupdate.ffu"

This command I must be doing wrong. I get invalid argument , a positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'thor2'.

However the wdrt is in that location.

Thanks

I open PowerShell, & proceed to open the CMD prompt in administration mode in 'Package' folder containing the ffu file ,enter the command for x64 , but it won't work.

All program files (.ffu file isn't that) of WDRT are in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool path or in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool path, according to the operating system architecture of your computer. Therefore, the command prompt should be executed from one of these two paths before executing any thor2's command.

In PowerShell if you are in the directory where thor2 is located type it like this .\thor2.exe

If you run it without the '.\' it's expected to be setup in your environment path already.

Hello to me the same happened to me and all I had to do, was to run the WDRT as an administrator. Anything you tell me, and try to sign up for the Insider Release Preview program.

I get the following error;

"missing property name after reference operator. ParserError ) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException & missing property name" .

Yes I've tried over & over.

What command did you just run? Paste it here.

I think I see some of the issue. In your logs it is progressing 1 percent more each time you flash it. All the logs you posted the last one I saw went from 11% flashed to 12%. It could be a driver issue or some other buggy software issue. Either way, keep running what you were running before you posted the logs, or we can try to get DylanCochard's command to work. It is up to you.

Thanks.

The good part is that it does not seem un-fixable.
