            If your phone keeps restarting while plugged in after trying to update Windows, or the Windows Device Recovery Tool doesn't detect your phone for any other reason: turn your phone on in boot manager mode by pressing POWER + VOLUME DOWN keys simultaneously. WDRT should detect your phone, unless it's totally wasted.

            Hope that helps someone.

                                    i am downloading the firmware for the nokia 525. check the product code as seen after removing the battery.(along with the imei#). I am getting this download thru the software called Navifirm Plus. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609/atf-first-world-lumia-525-winphone-8-full-flashing-1757663/ and http://www.symbian-toys.com/navifirm.aspx#download then I plan to use the Lumia recovery tool or the Windows recovery tool.

                                        How to get the update?

                                        I'm using Nokia Lumia 520(Windows 8.1), On last weekend, (18th and 19th July 2015). I got update notification. But I was much busy, and away from home for 2 days. I use internet through Wi-fi at home. The Windows latest update which I got the notification, And canceled it. Thought to check this after reaching my home, Came back to home Monday, After opening to 'phone update' in Lumia 520. It's showing 'your phone is up to date'!
