Lumia 520 Bricked...???

[Joao Paulo SW]

Guys, I'm having a problem with my Nokia L520.
Everything was working perfectly ... until today, I put it to charge by USB (in the notebook).
The phone turned off, and the Windows Phone 8 no longer starts. When I press the power button, even when the phone is connected to the charger, a signal appears (battery being charged) but the windows phone does not start. Now, if I try to turn it WITHOUT the charger (with the notebook for example), appears a sign of a battery with a question mark in the middle.
Someone went through the same problem, or know how to fix it??
Already tried a master reset, but it did not work.
Thank you!

If you tried a standard reset and nothing happened then it's not looking too good.

You can try this software from Nokia and see what if it can help. It will erase everything on your phone but it should get it working again.

Hello N_LaRUE...thank?s for reply!I've tried this method before, but the problem was not solved. I'm not having the "spinning cogs" problem. In my case, when I turn on my phone, a signal (battery being charged) appears (when the phone is conected by USB) or a battery with a question mark in the middle (when the phone NOT charging) and nothing else happens.

My understanding of the software was to help with a phone when it doesn't startup correctly (not functioning). Not just for the spinning cogs. So you used the software or did you abandon it because you thought it wouldn't help? Your issues sounds similar to what happened to mind after the spinning cogs. It wouldn't start at all just the Nokia splash screen then a battery.

Is your phone actually starting up? If it does did you try a hard reset?

I used the software, but the problem was not solved I also tried with Nokia Care Suite (recovery option), but nothing happened (the problem continues). I already tried a hard reset too. The phone dosen't start. When I turn on the phone without a charger says "Nokia", then a signal with a battery with question mark appears. If I try to turne on WITH a charger, the word Nokia does not appear, only the battery charging signal (and nothing happens).

To me, it sounds like it's not recognizing your battery - something might be wrong with it.

Was it holding a charge as usual before it just stopped working? Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back in (to make sure it's seated properly)?

For those who still haven't rolled back to Windows phone 8.1 don't roll back. Let it run Windows 10 until Microsoft releases new build as the current build has problem reverting back to Windows 8.1 and would brick your phone.

My brother did this with his 1020. Went to rollback, and it's bricked... QHSUSB_DLOAD is detected when plugged in to computer, but the phone will do absolutely nothing depsite the different combo key presses to reset, etc...

SAME ISSUE!!! got bricked while recovering back to windows 8.1.
HARD RESETS are working

I also bricked my Lumia 520 but I was trying to just reinstall the firmware with official Windows Phone Recovery Tool. So apparently it is not a Windows 10 rollback problem but something to do with WPRT and Lumia 520 combination
