So lets try this and see if it helps.

Hard Reset using buttons:

Press and hold the Camera + Volume Down + Power until the phone vibrates. Then release the Power key and keep pressing the Camera + Volume Down for a few seconds.

    One key point is buried in one of the answers: TAKE OUT THE MEMORY CARD before doing any resets/upgrades.

    thanks man it worked

    however my volume up key is stucked m using lumia 620 any trick to solve that

    Glad that helped.

    Not sure why the volume rocker is stuck. I might try blowing it with air just in case it is something like dust or link that inadvertently got in there and is causing the issue.
