[Guide] How to flash/update/reset Nokia phones using Lumia Software Recovery Tool?

Update (2016) – Lumia Software Recovery Tool (LSRT) described below has now been updated to Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT). WDRT supports old Nokia Lumia phones (WP 8/8.1) and new Microsoft Lumia devices (WP 8.1 and Windows 10). Despite the name change, WDRT essentially serves the same purpose as LSRT i.e. reset/restore/update a Lumia phone. So please refer to this updated post which describes the use of Windows Device Recovery Tool. The older post (which is obsolete now) follows.

    I’m having a lumia 520 and its OS crashed by its own.

    It was in windows 8.1 denim version.

    and now, just a cyan color screen appears after NOKIA logo.

    I tried to recover it by using windows phone recovery tool,

    the whole process went well,

    i was able to download the whole firmware package,

    then it asked if my battery is more than 25% or not,

    then it starting installing the package,

    a bigger than normal size NOKIA logo appeared,

    but, before the installation could start,

    it failed.

    And it displayed,

    ‘ software package installation result

    operation ended with failure’

    (I’m also attaching a screenshot of the same)

    I tried it several times, it went through the same procedure.

    I tried changing the USB cables and different PCs also,

    but it was repeating in the same way.

    Don’t know how can I get my Lumia back to work.

    Help.
