[TUTORIAL]How to rescue your Lumia from emergency mode

[bylux07]

Hi guys ,
I was trying to get rid of from emergency mode and finally I found a solution and want to share with you.Sorry for bad english.
First of all you should know that you are doing this with your own risk and you will lose your all data .
REQUIREMENTS
-Windows Device Recovery Tool (Download)
-Your device's rom (you can get it from here)
-Your device's emergency files (files end with .hex and .mbn. You should see them under the rom details.)
When you get ready , connect your phone to computer via usb. Then open your Command line in administrator and type :
If you are using 32 bit operating system:

cd "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool"

If you are using 64 bit operating system:

cd "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool"

Now we will use thor2 for get rid of from emergency mode but we cant do it immediately.We should install bootloader again.Copy your rom and emergency files to desktop.
IMPORTANT
Then type in command line and edit code:

 thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_HEX_FILE.hex -mbnfile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_MBN_FILE.mbn -ffufile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_ROM_FILE.ffu -skipffuflash

Press your phone's soft-reset(volume down-power) buttons and Windows will give notification sound about your device disconnect and reconnect.It will take about 10 seconds at least.Timing is important.You should restart your device and hit enter at the same time. Otherwise you will get:

"THOR2_EMERGENCYFLASHV1_ERROR_PROGRAMMER_SEND_FAILED
THOR2 1.8.2.18 exited with error code 85030 (0x14C26)"

You should see "Exited with success".
Then your phone lead to flashing mode but it wont flash any file. For flash your rom type:

thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "%HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_ROM_FILE.ffu" -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset -reboot

And you are done.Just wait for flash ends. Then your device will restart in factory settings and you will able to use your device.Hope it helps!

Hm okey try take off battery , wait couple a minutes then plug charger and wait for just a bit. Then connect your device and confirm it's status from thor2.

thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_HEX_FILE.hex -mbnfile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_MBN_FILE.mbn -ffufile %HomePath%\Desktop\YOUR_ROM_FILE.ffu -skipffuflash

I have a Lumia 1020 RM-875, the correct .hex .mbn .ffu files and WPRT. I tried to use the code after thor2 launcher but after the emergency download i get always this message:
Sending OPEN_MULTI_REQ
Message send failed with error code 8
Failed to get response to OPEN_MULTI_REQ
ALPHA EMERGENCY FLASH END
...
THOR2_EMERGENCYFLASHV1_ERROR_MSG_SEND_RECEIVE_FAILED
THOR2 1.8.2.18 exited with error code 85021 (0x14C1D)

if you download mbn file from lumiafirmware, don use it...
create mbn file with (for example, downloaded FFU file is in C:\rm-875\ folder, and xxx.ffu is just example, you must write exact name of ffu file):

thor2 -mode ffureader -ffufile C:\rm-875\XXX.ffu -dump_gpt -filedir C:\dump

this command will create gpt0.bin and rename it as msimage.mbn

before start process, be sure your battery is charged. charge battery with phone charger some time to be sure.

now use (example when file.hex is in c:\HEX\ folder)

thor2 -mode emergency -hexfile C:\HEX\HEX.hex -mbnfile C:\dump\msimage.mbn -orig_gpt

when done, disconnect (remove) battery.
connect battery again

now use (file vpl is just example, you must writ exact name of VPL file or rename it to file.vpl)

thor2.exe -mode vpl -maxtransfersizekb 1 -vplfile C:\rm-875\file.vpl

when done use

thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode
