Phone ran out of battery during update
Help please! Am I screwed? Now it's just booting up on the Nokia screen repeatedly. It's like there's no OS. :(

Mines even worse, it won't even turn on. You may be able to actually get the recovery tool to work I you find someone willing to let you use their PC

Try removing the battery. I know mines looks bricked if I lock the phone. It becomes un responsive unless I reboot it by removing the battery.

I don't have anything tools near small enough to do that unfortunately

Same here on my Lumia 925 which is plugged to a wall charger! How can the battery run out?

Same issue, this killed my 1520, I just keep looping and it dies even with my Qualcomm fast charger. Ugh

They did warn you to be fully charged before updating. Even if you just had it plugged in you probably would have been fine.
But if it's turning on then you should definitely try the recovery tool.

I had 80% battery, but it took so long it died.

that's odd, it shouldn't have taken that long.

Sounds bricked. Maybe try using the Lumia Recovery Tool on your PC to fix it.
I only have Mac :(
Use Bootcamp.
Drive to MSFT store for boot camp copy or possible tech support in-store.
You've already tried a soft reset, right?
I did soft reset. No MS store in my region. Sigh..
Bummer.
Another option is to take a microusb data cable and install NRecovery tool on a windows computer at a local library branch. Then you wont have to buy Bootcamp.
