You can also do these steps, this is what I did when my phone got stuck on the gears after GDR2/Amber and then started rebooting continuously:
- Turn off phone (if possible). Hold vol down button and then plug phone into charger, while still holding button down, then let go of button once charger is plugged in. Phone should come up with a big exclamation mark on the screen. If your phone was constantly rebooting, like mine was after I installed GDR2, you have to time the plugin just right, just after the phone crashes and before it gets to the boot sequence. It took me a few dozen tries to time it right, but you have to keep trying until you get a big exclamation mark when you plug in the phone.
- Once at the ! screen, press vol up, then vol down, then power, then volume down. The phone should go into the gears again, but only for a minute. Then it should come up like it did when you first unboxed it, driving you through all the setup screens.
- The phone will work like crap until all of the system stuff gets updated through the store. Mine crashed going into email and texts, because the GDR2 part of the update was already flashed, but the nokia apps that were restored from the store were pre-Amber. Once I got through all this drama, which took HOURS (since the store restores every app one at a time, in its own order, and doesn't know the Nokia apps need to be installed first), the phone worked fine since.
