Completely Dead Lumia 520

[karthiksanjeev]

Hello Friends,
Some lumia users got their phone completely bricked while rolling back to 8.1. But there is nothing to do with the pre-released windows 10, and don't blame it. People who used only the recovery tool without installing the technical preview also got the same red screen n dead issues which only happened due to the mistake of microsoft.

When the dead lumia phones are connected to pc via USB it shows the device as QHSUSB_DLOAD. I don't know what that is but it will be shown on the pc like this even if the battery is not inserted. The newly released WPRT 1.2.4 also doesn't resolve this problem but the red screen error could be solved. Microsoft should consider this as a serious issue and fix this issue as soon as possible.

Also if anyone could find a solution please share it.

Problem is partially solved by clever fans in insider forum. Pages about 40 and further. It worked in at least a few dead devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD, black screen, no response)
