Phone reading Error

for you also, try this. it is a bit more work, but I got back and running on windows phone 8.1

"if you are booting into the OS your phone will not downgrade. once device recovery is searching, reboot your phone. it will pick it up in UEFI mode and start the download. You will have to reboot it one more time after the download to install the new "old" image.

remember to back everything up first, it will factory reset your phone."

Thanks a lot AaronZollinger! It worked :)

I'll just describe my steps more detailed in case someone don't understand yours:

1. Unplug the phone from the PC
2. Click on "My device was not detected"
3. Select your model and you will enter the "Searching Screen"
4. Reboot your phone (pressing volume down + home button for some seconds until it vibrates) and immediately plug it back in the PC
   1. If you take too long to plug it in the PC you will have to reboot it again (the Recovery Tool will show a message to you)
5. The tool will recognize your model, but not the OS or Firmware
6. Click in "Download Software" and wait the process to complete.
7. When finished, click next and check your Battery as the screen says
8. The next screen will try to install the software BUT IT WILL FAIL, don't worry it is normal. Wait (3-4 minutes) until it fails and click Finish.
   1. 
9. Repeat steps 1-5.
10. Now you will see that the screen will not show "Download" but "Install", click it.
    1. 
11. You will see the installation progress both in the Tool and in your Phone. Wait until it finishes (2-3 minutes).

12. Done :)
