Formatting your Nokia Series 60 Phone


Here's how you format your Nokia Symbian Smartphone, Nokia nGage QD game phone:

BE WARNED: DEEP RESET IS EQUIVALENT OF RE-FORMATTING YOUT HARD-DRIVE. YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA, CONTACTS, MESSAGES AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN PHONE MEMORY (THOUGH THE CONTENTS OF MEMORY CARD MAY BE PRESERVED, DEPENDING ON YOUR PHONE MODEL)

DEFAULT ACCESS CODE FOR NOKIA PHONES (SET FROM FACTORY) IS 12345.

Shallow Reset:
(using A: - Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)

Deep Reset:
(*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.)


I hope this helps.

This worked on my Nokia 6630 imaging smartphone, and also on my Nokia 6681 business phone.

Many times, when a virus or worm infects one's phone-- and the phone gets too slow; and takes even 20 minutes to start after switching on; then reseting the phone is the only option.
Also, it's typically better to try the shallow reset-- and if that doesnt work; try the deep reset.
