Exactly !! Same problem with my Lumia 520. Updated to Windows 10 TP but i felt it very slow and buggy and decided to go back to windows phone 8.1 by using WSRT but whatever you just explained the red screen failure several times happend and resulting in DEAD !!
I got a new Lumia 730 for myself but still I just cant let the 520 like that just because of a minor defect.
Please help me if you find any solution regarding this !!! good luck !

It does not work. I changed my battery and the problem persists. Folks at the Microsoft forums said that Nokia Care can replace something to make the phone work agian. I'll wait until MS find a solution - Hope they will find a solution lol

Hi All,
I have the same problem with my Lumia 520. It's completely dead after downgrade to windows phone 8.1 via WPRT.
I tried everything that can be tried- WPRT, Lumia recovery tool, Nokia Care suite. None of this can detect my phone. The only message that I get from my PC when I attach the phone is that driver Nokia Emergency Connectivity is successfully installed and ready to use. If someone managed to recover his/her phone please advise

Battery change also won't help.

Hah I downloaded the recovery tool and it's not downloaded any rom. The tool reinstalled 8.1 on my Lumia 520 in 2 minutes.

Hi ajayden,
I appreciate your willingness to help but your post is pretty much copy-paste from windows insider website and does not help.
The main problem is that the phones do not turn on and do not vibrate after pressing Volume down and Start button. And in this way phones can not be detected by the recovery tool.
Also please note that after installing the recovery tool from your link, there is a mandatory update to version 1.2.4. Please updated the steps in your post

Re: Lumia 520 Died during downgrade to 8.1 from 10.
My dear friend,
Thank you for the post.
Actually my post was for the OP.
I am aware of the mandatory update and that means as you install the software, you will be asked to update. So I don't have to add it in the steps.
Yes it is from Insider website but if people go and read it from there, they will not be asking for a solution here.
Also, the first few steps is the most important, To uninstall and Install again, cos that's when they have the updated tool (and this is not mentioned at the insider website).
However for bricked phones, here is the procedure to revive the phone....as you said, I am not going to elaborate here. You can go to the link below to read and try it.

Does this new WPRT update unbricks devices which are in QHSUSB_DLoAD?
