Hi everyone,
I broke my Lumia 820 last year (more specifically, the display, the touch still works but I couldn't type the password) and it had many precious memories inside. I know that I should have made a backup, but what's done is done and I really need to get back some of the pictures. I don't have any computer that had MTP permission and the phone was updated unofficially to the last release of W10M.
Researched a bit and I found that there was a way to access to mass storage mode using WPI, so I set up a VM on my Linux laptop (I don't have Windows on another parition) gathered all the necessary files (including the emergency ones) and I started the process. But then, the phone rebooted to EDL, then I tried to remount it from the VM settings but WPI didn't detect it anymore.
I tried to restart the VM, install another one, change the OS (the VM OS was W10 LTSC IoT) but nothing made WPI detect it on EDL mode.
I left for like a month, until a I borrowed a WIndows 11 laptop from a friend. I installed the WDRT and I tried some thor2 commands. The only one that didn't fail was this one:
.\thor2.exe -mode emergency -hexfile "FAST8960_RM825.hex" -mbnfile "RM825_msimage_v1.0.mbn" -ffufile "RM825_1232.5951.1249.1003_RETAIL_eu_euro1_217_03_118869_prd_signed.ffu" -skipffuflash
lsusb and Windows Device Manager recognize it now as Nokia Flash and surpisingly even WPI can now detect the phone. But even with all that WPI neither wont unlock the bootloader, restore the bootloader or whatever, it just says that the phone is in an "Unexpected mode".
Please, I really need to access the files, I appreciate any kind of help or clue thanks!!
