Microsoft has two recovery tools to offer: Windows Phone Recovery Tool and Lumia Software Recovery Tool. Both can be used to reset and recover your phone software – that’s something you may want to do if you’re experiencing software- or update-related problems, if your phone is refusing to start, or if your phone is not responding.

What’s the difference between Windows Phone Recovery Tool and Lumia Software Recovery Tool? The first one works with all Lumia phones that run Windows Phone 8 or newer. The second works with all other Nokia-branded phones (older Lumia or other Nokia phones).

A setup wizard will help you install Windows Phone Recovery Tool on your PC. There’s nothing complicated about completing the installation process. Don’t take my word for it, go check out the Quick Look video that accompanies this article to see how easy it is to install Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

When you’re done with the installation process and Windows Phone Recovery Tool is up and running, you will have to connect your phone. It should be detected automatically; if it isn’t, disconnect all phones from your computer and press “My phone was not detected” ( it’s at the bottom on the application’s interface).

Speaking about the interface, I have to mention that it is a user friendly interface and I also have to mention that the interface can be customized. From the Settings menu you can play with the following customization options: change the accent color, change the theme, change the language.

Windows Phone Recovery Tool is free software.

Having problems with your Windows Phone? Windows Phone Recovery Tool will help you with that! It helps with phones that aren’t responding, phones that are stuck, phones that have other software-related issues.

Pros

A setup wizard will help you install Windows Phone Recovery Tool. The application’s interface can be customized: change the highlight color, change the theme, change the language. Windows Phone Recovery Tool works with all Lumia phones that run Windows Phone 8 or newer; it helps with software-related issues, stuck phones, and phones that aren’t responding.

Cons

None that I could think of.
