hi I was trying to use the microsoft recovery tools but along the way it was already downloaded I received a message that my phone should be 25% battery and I was asked to continue or not so I cancelled but when I checked my phone i got a error message that the boot manger 2 and i need to click anything to have it shutdown. I think my device ( Nokia 735) was busted because of the battery charging. The message runs this way unable to find a bootable system. click it to shutdown. What does that mean? Thanks i have some problems with my battert charging before I did this recovery of of the program from Windows 8.10 upgrade to Windows 10 then I want to go back to 8. 1 due to some problems on my battery charging. I bought a new one and still it isnt working. I tested all the battery option soft reset factory settings and this is what happened. When you turn on the phone the only thing that comes out was the word nokia but it can no longer open and a blinking white dot at the leftmost part of my unit. Help!!!

Not worked with HTC 8S. up to step 6 : Device Info, can’t find the firmware and then come out with new screen : Process finish with failure. because can’t find the firm ware, then no software had been downloaded. Maybe your step only work for LUMIA.
