..... and so on

I was using Lumia Black and updated it to 8.1 ( Cyan) from my phone itself ( official release). I updated to Cyan OS not longer than a month back. Everything was fine, until recently, a couple of days earlier, when I was talking to a freind of mine on my phone, the call dropped. A notification to restart my phone appered so I did it. Ever since I am stuck on the , " Airplane mode". The flight mode will rapidly switch on and off. So, I am unable to use my Sim and thus, no whatsapp, no calls..social life has been paralyzed. 

I tried Hard reset ( about menu-> reset your phone) :- three times

Soft reset:- several times

Changed SIM :- a dozen times

Tried the twitter team suggestion ( I had found on this forum itself :- http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-1520-3-and-official-8-1-stuck-airplane-mode/td-p/2855086)

Now trying Nokia Software Recovery Tool 1.5.0 but the problem is that it is downloading 3058.50000.1425.0001, which I beleive is 'Cyan' again. I am also worried, I won't be able to downgrade to Lumia black  which I am missing a lot. Anwho, I am  currently downloading it and will see what happens, but If Nokia's Technical team can provide a solution for this software/firmware related glitch, I will be a happy fella. I am wondering, about the first occurence of this problem which I researched as being reported on Nokia official forums, 2-3 months back. By now a trustworthy solution should have been found and posted online.

    A lot of incidents happened before where companies recalled their products, even after years of selling, in order to fix or replace the defected product. I have been reading a lot of people complaining about this issue, including myself. Most of us experienced this problem in association with the update, so I strongly believe that this is manufacturing defect and Microsoft should compensate us. I believe we can sue the company about this problem.

    I am so upset not because of the problem, but because of the way Microsoft is treating its loyal customers.

    If no one of you take action, I will go ahead and start consulting a lawyer to sue MSFT, and going to make a fortune out of this :)

    I have a same problem with my Lumia 535. I tried all options but not found any solution. before I had a Nokia phone and it was nice experience to use that, so I decided to purchase Microsoft lumia 535 but now I am facing problems and struggling to solve it. My phone is under warranty period and now I am going to try this option.

    I have a solution. All that is needed to be done is to corrupt and crack all this Microsoft software's because they seem not to care about their customers. I'm not happy about this issue
