Re: what can i do to fix my lumia 640?

This happened to me, and I couldn't get the gears to stop long enough to let the Windows Phone Recovery Tool find my device--I could reboot the phone but it would immediately go straight to spinning gears. I finally succeeded by taking off the case and doing a battery pull. Then I started up WPRT and plugged the usb from my pc into the phone, then put the battery back in (case still off). The phone turned back on but this time WPRT was able to see my device. I was able to go back to 8.1 from there.
