[RumoredNow]

Does it look like this?




All is not lost.

Power off the phone > hold Volume Down > press Power > keep holding Volume Down until you see the exclamation (!) screen, then immediately release the Volume Down

Now tap Volume Up / Volume Down / Power / Volume Down

You should see the spinning gears and your phone will reflash the last OS version held in recovery. You do loose data, but get your phone back. Sign into your Microsoft Account and restore your backup during the set up.

The phone will not start, has a black screen and no display at all.

I have tried soft and hard resets but nothing happens.
I connect it to WDRT and it does not detect my phone so that does not work.
Has anyone got the slightest idea what is wrong and how I can revive my phone please.
