Restore Windows Phone 8 (Windows instructions)

Thanks to trashmaster76 and feherneoh.

Go to XDA Thread

DO NOT ask for a backup. If you do not have one, you have to accept to be permanently on Android.

1) Download this zip and extract it in a new folder:

WP_Restore.zip

2) Copy the backup to that folder. Create another folder inside this one called "parts".

3) Open CMD in the folder that you created in step 1 and run this command:

imgman64.exe backup.img parts

(Replace backup.img with the filename of your backup)

4) Now, run these commands:

fastboot boot recovery_unsecure.img
adb push fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /cache/
adb shell
sgdisk --load-backup /cache/fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /dev/block/mmcblk0
sync
sync
reboot

Phone will reboot. ADB should disconnect at this point.

5) Now we have to flash every partition that is in the parts folder with this command:

fastboot flash partition parts\partition.img

Change partition with one of these (flash them in this order!):

  • TZ
  • SSD
  • DPP
  • RPM
  • WINSECAPP
  • MODEM_FSG
  • MODEM_FS1
  • MODEM_FS2
  • UEFI_BS_NV
  • UEFI_NV
  • UEFI_RT_NV
  • UEFI_RT_NV_RPMB
  • PLAT
  • MMOS
  • EFIESP
  • UEFI

6) Reboot the phone with fastboot reboot

Phone will now show smiley of death, that is normal.

At this point, you can use Windows Device Recovery Tool or Windows Phone Internals to flash a clean FFU or reflash the one from the backup using thor2.

How to flash Windows Phone FFU with thor2

Note: Instead of thor2 you can flash FFU with Windows Phone Internals or Windows Device Recovery Tool.

thor2 should be at:

64 Bits Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

32 Bits Windows: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

1) Go to the thor2 folder and open CMD in it.

2) Run this command: thor2 -mode rnd -bootflashapp

3) Flash your phone's FFU file (download from LumiaFirmware) with:

thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile <Path-to-FFU> -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset

4) Reboot your phone with thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

Done! Windows Phone 8 should boot.
