How are you connected to the computer? Make sure you are directly connected and not through a hub or port rep.

If windows recovery tool isn't working then try with Nokia recovery tool or use wpinternals to flash System image to your Lumia 920.

You can get wpinternals and Lumia 920 system images from XDA or navifirm plus.

I am not responsible if you brick/ ruin your phone in any way. If you do not know what flashing is then probably its best to get it repaired from Nokia service centre.

Choose which country version your 920 belongs(India -rm-914)

Download .ffu file for your device from here http://www.allflashfiles.com/?s=lumia+920&submit=Search

If your country variant is not available then search for Lumia 920 rm-xxx ffu download.

Download and extract wpinternals.

http://www.wpinternals.net/.php/downloads/doc_download/38-windows-phone-internals-1-2

Connect your device to pc.

Open wpinternals.exe and click flash.

In flash original FFU section select your location of FFU file you downloaded and click flash FFU image button

Simple ones are by using windows recovery tool or Nokia recovery suite. And may be there's a problem with your device that these software's could not find any package.Make sure to check if your device time is correct and unlocked during this process.
