Lumia 520 - Unable to find a bootable option

[kojuno]

sorry to bother you but if it dont work without battery does that mean the phone is dead?

 

[parth0072]

All of you still with this problem:
Check if your phone has Samsung, or Hynix eMMC inside (WPIntrernals can tell you)

Turn off your phones, remove the battery from them
Open WPInternals, go to Unlock Bootloader menu
Connect phone without battery inserted, and wait for WPInternals to crach
Now your phone should be in flashmode
Reopen WPInternals, check the info menu for eMMC manufacturer
If Hynix: you can flash an .ffu on your phone, and it will (probably) work
If Samsung: Well, maybe JTAG can help you, but I cannot guarantee that either

Hey what can i do it show toshiba emmc??plz help

 

[kojuno]

Toshiba is not Samsung, so it should work for that too, if the chip is not dead

I tried Nokia software recovery and Windows device recovery with no luck
Does that mean that samsung emmc can only be rescued by JTAG?

 

[parth0072]

Toshiba is not Samsung, so it should work for that too, if the chip is not dead

Now what should I do??plz tell me the method to force qhusb_dload.my phone emmc is not dead it also show red screen with nokia logo.

 

[parth0072]

if on red screen, you shouldn't need emergency mode, just flash an ffu with thor2 or WPInternals

Thank you for fast reply .
But it show ffu parse error

 

[parth0072]

Try downloading it again

Ffu is correct.but i accidently change the partition size of efi partition .

 

[parth0072]

did you repartition?
in that case, use WPInternals, and select either unlock bootloader, or restore bootloader
reply with the results
if still same error, then comes the same method as for the others

yes i repartition but unlock bootloader not working..its show error ffu parse error.

 

[kojuno]

Yeah, that is the only way for Samsung

thank you for your reply
:crying: i guess i will wait until someone find a way to repair it without jtag or from SD !!

 

[Inquisitiveo]

Can you please upload a picture of that resistor. Also, where can I find a hex file loader?

 

[parth0072]

did you repartition?
in that case, use WPInternals, and select either unlock bootloader, or restore bootloader
reply with the results
if still same error, then comes the same method as for the others

thank you for your reply.
which method i do . because it show ffu parse error.

 

[parth0072]

anyone have idea about rdc.bin or authenticate phone option show in thor2.

 

[lucyr03]

Any news? I get no bootable option error, I have samsung chip and ffu says signature error.

It worked on my 1020

the real story that worked for 1020, you need another lumia for this process though, on other lumia (working) try to restore as normally with recovery tool, then after downloading of firmware of working lumia, just after tools says "preparing to flash" which means its going to flash mode disconnect the healthy(working lumia) and plug in the lumia that shows "unable to find a bootable option. press any key to shut down " screen. then it should boot to flash mode and flash the firmware files. It worked on my 1020 i was worried. if any help pm me on fb.com/nischal31. Donate or buy if a beer if you think it works.

I have seen this error millions of times on 520, and could fix it always
what you'll need:

PC
micro USB cable
WPInternals
.hex loader for 520
.ffu for 520
T4 screwdriver
Small wire

All you have to do is to short the resistor on eMMC clock lane, and connect USB, phone will be in emergency mode. You can either select unlock or relock in WPInternals, but for unlock, be sure to use an SBL3, because that won't fix the problem on its own.
The best would be selecting relock, then flashing the ffu, so EFIESP gets fixed

If you need help finding that resistor, PM me

How to find resistor?

This is the resistor?
If this is it, it is already a "short"

no solution to fix this threads?
