re:

Can you get into the boot loader?

Do a soft reset and then hold the volume up button immediately when it vibrates it may take a few tries. Sometimes for me it's just before it vibrates or right on the mark. Which is pretty weird.... to say the least.

Hold the volume up button until you see Nokia written larger than normal ontop of the screen, not the middle.

Start the Windows Device Recovery Tool and choose my device is not detected, immediately plug in your phone and wait abit.

Post back results.

Also use the Nokia pre-supplied cable whenever possible as that is factory cable.

Once in the bootloader do not let the phone run out of charge and always before flashing make sure your phone is fully charged!

Keep trying, soft reset and hold the volume up button - it will take a few tries :). Try holding volume up just before it vibrates / exact moment it vibrates. However make sure your phones are fully charged and use the nokia supplied cabled.

Yes, unfortunately it will wipe them.

You could try backing everything up onto a PC / Laptop and then moving things back but I doubt that will work. As like on the PC each user name or each time you re-install + use the same user name a unique identifier is associated to all your files. So without that unique identifier files in place (the registry) it will treat the files as "foreign" files (which is why when you go to set manual permissions for locked file(s) you see rather odd looking username associated to the locked files).

The alternative method would be manually associate the files to your current identifier, however I'm not aware of any such tools for WP yet - as currently the rooting for WP is still in it's infancy.

In terms of cloud saves, some games do utilise cloud saves whereas some don't.
