What tool did you use to downgrade? Your device may be totally bricked and in need of repair from the official Care people.

Same issue here with my Lumia 1020. The MSFT Recovery Tool (1.2.4) went through the process of recovering the phone but then an error message saying unable to recover.

Since that point, the phone will not reboot or start (which as it probably doesn't have any OS on there now is expected) and recovery tool does not recognise the phone.

Where should one go to get this fixed in the UK?

Regards

I fixed my issue with Nokia Software Updater (NSU) for retail. And reinstalled windows phone 8 from there.

Just wanna say the guide revived my Lumia 520! Wouldn't turn on or vibrate, but now it's as if nothing ever happened! :D I now have a secondary phone to put Win10 on since I bought a 635 as a replacement.
