there is no SBL3 available for 1320 as far as I know, so you can only unlock the bootloader without using that. This
means that mass storage mode won't be available.

I have a Lumia 820. I tried following the above process, but while doing it my Laptop crashed when the process was
midway. Now my phone does not switch on at all. Any idea what can be done.

Nope. If I keep the mobile connected to my laptop and try soft or hard reset, it makes sound but nothing happens on
the mobile.
