@derekbrigg67015 normally you would recover it by doing a factory reset. Here is the bad news, this phone has an issue with a common factory reset. It does not have a recovery mode. This may be one of the rare cases where only Nokia can help you out.

I would also check on some of the better GSM forums (XDA forums comes to mind)and see if anybody has any ideas. Something like this (you are doing this on your own risk. Don't blame us if it does not work etc.;-)

Once it is on the "bootloader" screen

use Minimal adb Fastboot in Windows and type commands:

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase user_data -f

fastboot erase userdata -f

fastboot erase cache

fastboot format a_b -f

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot

from comments on here

The only thing I found online is that there is some software out that "promises" to work. Can't link to it since I do not know the software nor do I believe everything I read :-) Software is called DroidKit
