Updating Nokia Lumia 520.

I tried updating my Lumia 520 yesterday night.
The download was completed and then I set it install updates, post which I went to sleep.
On waking up today morning, I found that my phone is near bricked.
All I can see is the gears turning symbol which I presume they have added to show update process.
Phone is not starting now.
The process has been on for a few hours now.
Any ideas???

I had same problem with mine as its a contract i get all you can eat data.......but it needed wi fi connection to download it, and as i have not got tethering agreement it would warn me when trying to use mobile internet sharing.....a week later i was traveling to my sons i used free wi fi on bus....it took the 4 hour journey and another 5 using sons wi fi . I found patience is needed and giving in and resetting it because it appeared to have froze on cogs and gears In my case it paid off and no problems ever with my lumia 520 apart from apps that require wi fi connection.

    As you tried already a reset, did you consider the Nokia Software Recovery Tool on a Windows computer as well?

    I have a nokia lumia 520 an update popped up on my screen telling me to install so I did and now my phone has been stuck on rolling gears for 15 hours I've tried all the suggestions about resting with all the buttons but nothing is working somebody help

    If the charger is connected, disconnect it and wait till the Battery dies. Then reconnect the charger and wait upto an hour to see if the phone switches ON on its own. If not, try the Resets that you tried once again ..

  • New nokia lumia 520

    my new nokia lumia 520 hangs. 
    its been only 20 days i brought my new lumia 520.
    Case : I just completed call. the screen got blacked out. we can still get incoming calls.
    we have the option to switch off. when it asks to slide down. it never happens. not able to slide it down.
    Solution - i removed battery and replaced. (This is very bad solution but i had no other option)
    tried - done power off and also volume down button with power off. it dint work.
    So disappointed!!

    hi mate, as a precursor to taking your phone to nokia care, you can check that you have the latest firmware updates for your device, and that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store. also try performing a soft and then a hard reset if that doesn't work.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 offline maps can not be downloaded...

    Hello,
    I had downloaded offline maps earlier on my Nokia Lumia 520 and they worked very well. But after resetting my phone to original setings (which deleted all the previously downloaded map), I can no more use them. When I try to download offline maps, it gets stuck on 10% or something like that and then says "We can't reach maps library at the moment. Make sure flight mode is turned off and check your and mobile data or WiFi connection, then try again.".
    Tring to resolve this, I had already done following things-
    1. Again reset the phone
    2. Soft reset the phone
    3. Updated the HERE MAPS and HERE DRIVE
    4. Tried downloading it from settings > Applications > maps > download maps
    5. And lastly I was using WiFi for downloading and my Flight mode was off
    I need this feature working on my phone at the earliest.
    Please suggest a solution for this asap, NOKIA!!!
    Thank you.

    Hi, kanishkk. Glad to hear that you're now able to download your map data. Based on the information presented, the issue can be on your connection. If the same issue occurs, try to download using your cellular data to further isolate the issue.
    Feel free to post your concerns and suggestions on the most appropriate board.

  • Can not turn on Nokia Lumia 520 after Microsoft up...

    Hi, I've got Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows Phone 8
    before yesterday Microsoft update appeared on display and wanted me to instal. So I clicked on "instal" button and after that there was "restarting..." on the display for a while and phone went off. Since that I can't turn on my phone. I tried keep it on charger for a long time, I tried take off battery for a long time, I tried to hold all buttons combinations, but my phone is still dead. Do you have some advises or there is only one option to send that to Nokia for service?
    Thank you for answers
    Honza 

    First try rebooting by ressing and holding the vol down + power button for around 10 seconds. If it works, the phone should vibrate and restart. If this does not work you could try hard resetting, instructions as per link below. Faiuling that, you will need to get it to your local Nokia Care Point.
