Lumia 520 Crashed & Dead

[Arvind R]

I was running WP8.1 preview for developers in my Lumia 520 since last few months. Everything went well till few days back when unfortunately my phone hanged for few seconds while trying to message and later went into reboot loop. Made the following attempts to recover:
1) Soft reset - Volume keys + Power button combo
2) Hard reset - through settings > about > reset
3) Battery remove and restart
4) Nokia retail software install tool in desktop PC
All the attempts successfully FAILED to bring back the phone.
Finally took it to Nokia Care service center, interestingly even they cannot restore the phone. They have sent the same to Nokia HQ for study. Expecting a reply from Nokia soon.\ :unhappysweat:

Don't know which caused this.....

Interesting. Keep us posted on how it develops.

Got a new replacement handset from Nokia after 3 weeks painful waiting. :smile:

Nokia does not say anything about the old dead handset.
