Hello everyone....
I would know if anyone knows where can I find the recovery image for Lumia 2520... Tried to find it but couldn't...
If anyone has the Lumia 2520 can do this procces
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/storage-files-and-folders/create-a-recovery-drive
and upload this to cloud (such as dropbox for me)
I would appreciate it because I am from Greece and Nokia doesn't support this tablet... They tell to send it in another country to repair and this could take 3-4 months....
Thanks in advance...
Lumia 1020 -> The apotheosis of Nokia

Hi everybody. I'll copy the same thing I posted in WindowsCentral forums here hoping that someone will be able to help me:
I just received my Lumia 2520 and as soon as I got my tablet activated, downloaded a couple of apps it suddenly switched off. When I switched it back on again it showed the 'sad face' BSOD (Attached Image 1).
Then it kept restarting and showing the same message over and over again with a few exceptions when it showed some particular errors instead of the one above (and hanged for 10+ minutes at 100%) (Image 2).
This kept on going but then I managed to get to the 'Diagnosing your PC' screen followed by 'Choose an option' screen (Image 3) where I would be able to reset my device to the state it was when it got out of factory...if I had the Recovery Image written on an USB drive!
The question is, could someone who has the 2520 create the image and share it with me, please?

Lumia 2520 Windows RT 8.1 Tablet unable to activat...

About a week or so ago, my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet with Power Keyboard (purchased through Telstra in Australia) wouldn't start and took me to the Windows RT 8.1 Recovery options. After unsuccessfully trying to use the recovery options to do a refresh, I decided to do a full Reset as all my data was either stored on a MicroSD card or in OneDrive.
Unfortunately, the device has not worked since. The cause of the problem is that when I reset the device (effectively doing a reset to factory default) and then going through the initial set up of Windows RT 8.1, I am advised that I need to activate the device, but the device failes activation and I am getting an error, Error code: 0xc004f012 the licensing software service reported that the call has failed because the value for the input was not found.
I am unable to use Microsoft Office as I am advised it isn't licensed and about 75% of Windows updates fail. I have now reset the device a few times, but I am getting nowwhere.
I rang and spoke to Nokia Australia Support today on 1300 366 733 and they advised me to search and run a command "slui 4", which started a wizard to perform a phone activation, but after selecting Australia as the country, the next windows, which is meant to provide the number to call and provide the installation ID from which I am meant to get an confirmation ID to enter. Unfortunately, the details of the telephone number and installation ID are never displayed, with the circling little dots going for ever!!
In essence, the Windows Activation process is looking for a Windows Product Key, which is not provided. Consequently, I am being asked for a Product key for Windows RT 8.1 even though you don't get one.
Although I will try with Nokia Support again tomorrow, I am starting to getting desperate! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Nokia Lumia 2520 Shut off after connected to keybo...

Hello all,
I have a Lumia 2520 tablet which I've had for about 4 months now. I initially purchased one of the power keyboards with my tablet which worked great at first. Then the tablet stopped responding to tkeyboard. I sent in the tablet for repairs and it was returned with a status "Not broken" or something like that. The tablet still wouldn't respond to the keyboard, though. thinking that the problem was most likely teh keyboard, I purchased another keyboard. (I really wanted the red one anyway).
At first, the tablet and keyboard was working just fine. But two weeks later, the tablet started shutting off when connected to keyboard. So here's the basic scenario. If my tablet is docked in the keyboard, I won't turn on. I've attempted to hold the power button down forcing a full shutdown, and then turn it on, but that doesn't work either. If I remove the tablet from the keyboard, it still doesn't turn on. But if I hold down the power button for approx 15 seconds, and then try to turn it on, it comes on without any problems. Now, if I re-dock the tablet with the keyboard, it immediately shutdown. As if it's going to sleep. But once again, will not turn back on unless I repeat the remove and holding down the power button.
Is this a problem with the tablet, or the keyboard.
Please help.
thanks!!

Yardi Systems supporter of Microsoft and creates program to run on IE. One such program is called Payscan. It allows users to scan Invoices and post into the system. After posting the image of such invoices are abailable for view, for that Yardi prompts to install GPI to view images. However Microsoft does not allow to run such programs in my Windows RT tablet. Is there a work around? The image could be exported as PDF and opened using Adobe, which is a waste of time and space constraints

Lumia 2520 Screen Flickers

I'm experiencing a screen flicker with my Lumia 2520. It only happens when I try to play certain games. I've tried turning off the auto brghtness, but it still does it. Previously, if I closed the app and went back in it would fix it. Now it doesn't. Very annoying. Any suggestions on what to try?

Hi TheGimper,
Welcome to the forum!
You mentioned that the issue only happens when playing certain games. Are these games downloaded from the Store? If yes, have you tried removing and re-installing them? This step will help us determine if the issue is caused by these games.
Here are some other troubleshooting steps that you may try:
1. Restart your tablet. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen. Select Settings, hit Power, and then tap Restart.
2. Refresh your Windows system. Refreshing your Windows system will reinstall Windows without removing your personal files, settings, the applications that came with your tablet and applications that you have installed from Windows Store.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap Setting. Select Change PC Settings > Update and recovery.
Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, select Get started and follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Check if the tablet's SW is updated. See this link for more information: Nokia Lumia 2520 - Update your tablet software.
Let us know how it will go.

Mirroring possibilities for Lumia 2520 into TV?

I want to mirror my videos (i.e. Online ondemand movies) and etc into my LED TV. What are the best solutions at the moment for Lumia 2520?
I also got iPad and Apple TV and I'm looking for solution which handles mirroring into TV as easy as with iPad.
Lumia 2520 is awesome tablet by the way. Forget iPad Retina screen quality, Nokia Lumia 2520 goes far further with its brilliant screen.

Several sources confirm that Lumia 2520 has Miracast support.
http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2013/11/12/windows-8-1-on-your-big-scre...
"... When you use wireless display, you have a source and a receiver: your Windows 8.1 device is the source, while your TV or projector is the receiver. If your display already has Miracast support, you are ready to go. If not, Miracast adapters provide an economical way to add wireless display to your existing TV or projector.
Wireless display works on new Windows 8.1 wireless PCs. This includes Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, Nokia Lumia 2520, and Intel Atom Generation 3 (“Bay Trail”) and Intel Core Generation 4 (“Haswell”) systems. ..."
http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/10/24/lumia-2520-building-better-tablet
“Similarly, we’ve created a special version of Nokia Music for the Lumia 2520. We offer free full track streaming, just like on your Lumia smartphone, and we’ve really taken advantage of the great screen size to use high quality artist images to make the app look as good as it sounds.
USB 3.0 support and Micro-HDMI connectors, together with support for DLNA and Miracast, make it easy to connect the Lumia 2520 to larger screens and audio systems."

Recovery Image vs windows 8.1 retail image

I am looking for a recommendation on how I should reinstall the OS for my HP Laptop.
When I got it, I burned the recovery image over 6 dvd's. I also bought from HP the recovery disks for the laptop. The problem is when you recover the image it can take a couple of hours to download the image from the dvd's and setup all the software. Then it takes a another few hours to download all the updates for the OS, Cyberlink software and drivers from hp. I know this because I have previously had to do that because of a virus and I had to zero format the hard drive to remove everything.
I have since discovered that I can use a Microsoft 8.1 disk (the pro will not work and you actually receive an error due to the way the bios offers the key code) and reinstall the OS directly and eliminate all the bloatware the recovery image has. This is actually a little faster since 8.1 is installed instead of 8.0.
I happen to like the Cyberlink software , so I bought serveral titles for use from an upgrade price. But I did not buy all the cyberlink software as I do not use all of it. What I didn't buy I can reinstall from the HP website. Except for a package that edits video from cyberlink that is included in the recovery image, but cannot be downloaded and installed without the recovery image being used. But again, that is software I do not use.
I use the laptop primarily for gaming - World of Warcraft, Eve Online, and Steam. I also do some automation using HP UFT.
I also have a Pro license Key and Media Pack key to upgrade from 8.1 version of Windows.
So based on my usage, which would be better? The recovery image or the windows 8.1 image? Will I miss any specialized hp software that can protect the laptop?
If you want to tell me to use Linux, I have a distro that will be installed along side it for use when I need that particular OS and the laptop will be used as a dual-boot machine.

I can't use the One Key Recovery of my Y2P anymore, as I decreased the size of the C partition in favour of increasing D:\Data

Any chance to get OKR working again if I make these partitions the same sizes?

7 14135 MB PBR_DRV NTFS Recovery
8 327 kB NO_NAME Unallocated
Data is backupped daily and I already have a full system backup together with a bootable USB stick that has been tested.
But I like to make sure I can reinstall Windows in the future..

Nokia Lumia 2520 - stuck in updating mode.

I have a new Lumia 2520, which I began to commission today. I got it to look for updates, and it found a large number to download and install including one for the firmware. It appeared to download them, but then installation of all of them repeatedly failed, with the error message saying that an update was already in progress. I left it for four hours, still the same. Then from experience in commissioning Windows PCs I set it to restart and during the closedown sequence it came up with a blue screen and a message "Keep your PC on until this is done. Installing update 1 of 5".
Nine hours later the same message is displayed. The tablet is plugged into the charger, and is sitting adjacent to the wifi router: it has power and connectivity. Online information suggests that no update to this device should take more than 25-30 minutes. It just seems stuck: won't switch on, won't switch off.
What's wrong, and what can I do about it?
Thank you.

Hi, auchindrain. How's your tablet now? If you're still having the same issue, best to try the troubleshooting steps shown at this link: Lumia 2520 - Need help in fixing a problem?. Note that this link is intended for a specific region; search the same FAQ in the local MS Mobile support page: MS Mobile - Change locale.
We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community!

Recovery Image on an External Hard Drive?

I was wondering if I could save a recovery image on my external hard drive?
It says to use a USB or Disc, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive, and I don't have a USB with a min of 19GB. What I do have are several 8GB, and less, and one 16GB, but these won't work for this. Nor do I have an external CD drive.
So I was wondering if I could use my external hard drive [It's got 2TB, but it's not empty...]?
I was just hoping for another option rather than buying a new USB... or external CD drive...

There is no way that I know of to trick Recovery Manager into using the external hdd.
Just an FYI- not all USB flash drives will work. We see many people posting about problems with creating the recovery. I just made mine and it failed to recognize a Sandisk 3.0 drive. Tried a PNY 3.0 and it worked smooth and fast.

How to reinstall Windows 8 on Yoga 13 with damaged Recovery Image?

I changed the partitions on my Yoga 13. Now it is not possible to refresh, reinstall or perform an advance start-up, as it looks like there is no recovery image anymore. The systems is currently very messy and needs a reinstall.
Can someone tell me how to reinstall Windows 8 on the Yoga 13 when the recovery image is lost or damaged?

hi Chevex,
Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
In the event that the Recovery partition is not working the only option is to use the Recovery CD that you can create when you first got the computer.
but if you were not able to create a Recovery CD and the Onekey Recovery is not working.
You can get the Recovery CD from the Software Department (Fees may apply to the discs)
you can contact the Hardware Team again and ask to be transferred to Software team for purchasing RCD

Adapter micro HDMI to VGA for Nokia Lumia 2520

could someone tell me which adapter micro HDMI to VGA is suitable for Nokia Lumia 2520 please?

Hi, melpa. Welcome to our community. There's no particular brand, but it should be HDMI-D. You may try checking the stores near your place for the price and availability.

Hardbuttons on Lumia 2520 tablet have stopped work...

Owned my tablet for about a week with absolutely no problems but then after trying to update software the update failed and so the tablet went to revert changes. Everything was fine until in the evening when I decided to install the update again and it did so successfully, however, after the update my lock, volume, and Windows buttons have stopped working.
The Windows button still vibrates but does nothing else. The lock button when held down long enough still restarts the tablet further leading me to believe this is a software fault not a hardware one.
Since the problem has arisen I have searched the internet for help but to no avail. I have of course tried numerous soft resets and even a complete hard reset. The problem has not gone away.
On some other websites other users have had this exact problem too.
This is just such a shame. Otherwise it is a great product and was really enjoying owning it but like so many of my Nokia things recently something catastrophic goes wrong!
This has effectively made the Lumia 2520 completely unusable as a tablet.

Hi, mattypaul. We appreciate your time visiting the Microsoft Mobile Community. We can't confirm if it's a software related issue, but there are troubleshooting steps we can try to further identify it. Can you confirm that the fixes you've already tried are the ones given here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/product/lumia2520/product-troubleshooting/?

Nokia Lumia 2520 Charger

I bought a Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablet
One charger comes in the box. The tablet doesnt charge through usb port (data only).
There appears to be no chargers on sale (anywhere!) for this tablet.
What happens if:
The one I have breaks, is faulty, is lost, left at a hotel etc etc etc.
I want to charge the tablet in my car
Where can I get another charger from??? The current situation leaves me in a very precarious situation. If i was to lose my charger - my tablet would be unusable as I would never be able to charge it again - £400 down the drain.
Can someone please tell me where I can get a charger from?

No guarantees, but found this at Amazon. Right specs, looks like the right connector. 2520 Charger
Another one Just chatted with the MS Store and they suggested calling them at 800-642-7676 and see if they can find one. Good luck. Looks like Verizon and AT&T bailed on them. Might try calling their support, especially if you bought from one of them.
BTW, be careful. There are tons of chargers that claim to be Lumi 2520 cell phone chargers, etc, that clearly are 5v, i.e. USB, chargers. The 2520 does NOT charge off USB, as you probably know. The two I linked are the proper voltage at least, 20v.
And there is a thread here that says the Samsung series 7 slate charger works. It is 19v, but that could actually work. If it were me, I think I'd risk the Samsung. Got an actual confirmation from a real guy.

Nokia Lumia 2520 Outdoor readibility/ " enhanced o...

Hello,
I'm a student from europe and keen to buy a tablet. I'm looking @ the lumia 2520 and must say that so far it is looking good! Most of all, I'm interested in the " enhanced outdoor readibility " and since I'm often on the go or outside that would be one of my prime concerns. I didn't realize that it was available until after I saw the ad with the dog.
I'd like to know, if anybody could explain to me a little more what that "enhanced outdoor readibility" actually is?
Because I still have my doubts! (not to mention the limited RT operating system) Is there a technology behind it or does it merely have do with good resolution and the 650 nits that you can also see in the specs. Does it go by a name...?
I'd like to learn a little more about it before I make a choice.
Solved!

It's basically the Clearblack technology Nokia developed for their phones but on the next level.
There are several articles around the internet explaining the technology, amongst others on Nokia Conversations here.
