How to reset your Nokia? or How to format Nokia N72, N73, N81, N95, NSeries Phones?

Your Nokia phone isn't working properly or not responding quickly.Below are tips on how to reset your Nokia Mobile phones:

Note that: after performing a hard reset or soft reset, you may lose all the data on your mobile, which will be brought back to the "Factory settings" state, so better think twice before resetting your phone.

The major problems related (slow downs,crashes to Nokia phones are mainly due to:

Internal Phone Memory:

  • The phone memory is full, (too much messages), no space to store new incoming SMS:
  • Swith the primary storage to external memory (MicroSD Card), which generally possess more space (compared to the 128 Mb of the internal memory)
  • Never install applications (java, games, media player ...etc) on this location, keep the internal phone memory dedicated to the main ones (Firmware updates).

MicroSD card

  • Again the same problems may arise when the external memory is too bulky. Guess that the only solution is to delete some unneccessary stuffs..
  • It is also recommended to avoid using a large capacity MicroSD Card (8 GB) with some basic phone. Always go for the recommended settings.

Make your Nokia N97 run smoothly without resetting it

  • On some forums it is reported that you can make your NOkia 97 work smoothly (after a crash) without formatting it;
  • Turn off your phone
  • Connect the charger
  • Remove the charger when the screen lights up and wait until it goes off.
  • Turn on the phone immediately after using the Power button on top.
  • After the vibration at start up, plug-in the charger.

Factory settings

This is possible to reset your Nokia to factory settings (Note that you will lose all your data). For this look in the manual of your phone.

Soft Reset

Soft Reset will clear pending errors and bring your mobile to an initial state by restoring Factory setting. To operate this function on your mobile, the shortcut is: *#7380#

This function apparently works on almost all nokia mobile phones.

Hard Reset

It may happen that despite you have restored your mobile to factory setting, the error still exist. In this case, it is recommended that you opt for Hard reset
  • Enter the code: *#7370# and press Yes to confirm initialization.
    • Important Notice: It is recommended that you save all important information on your phone (e.g: memo, contacts etc)
  • To make a Hard Reset on a Nokia phone that is not willing to turn on, just press simultaneously these 3 buttons:
  • on/off + * + 3
    • Before making a Hard reset better backup all your important information: contacts, memo...etc

How To Reset Nokia N73 Lock Code Or Security Code?

What will you do if you forget your Nokia N73 lock code (a.k.a. security code)? Well, if money is not a matter, just throw it to recycle bin.

Otherwise, pay the capable Nokia BB5 locksmith to unlock it or search the web for a way to crack it at your pace (save some bucks for paying phone bill).

If that really happen to you, read and follow this little “trick” to unlock the Nokia BB5 smart phone (such as Nokia N73) at your own risk, because I’d sold the N73 last month to buy a touch touch baby (Nokia 5800).

So, I couldn’t prove the trick and I’ve no idea what will happen after completing the steps suggested by a Chinese blogger. Personally, I will try it anyway and I don’t believe this trick will corrupt the phone firmware or something bad.

But then again, I warn you and don’t blame me if it doesn’t work:

Unlock Nokia N73 or Nokia BB5 smart phones – Reset the security/lock code

According to the China site, there are two ways to format Nokia N73 or smart phone running Symbian OS S60 3rd Edition UI. These two ways are known as “soft reset” and “hard reset”.

A “soft reset” is triggered by pressing the *#7370# secret code while the phone is unlock and power on. This secret code will format N73 phone memory (all user data files are deleted) and restore settings to factory default (thus the lock code will be reset to 12345 again).

However, Symbian OS will ask for a valid lock code (even the phone is unlocked) before proceed to format the phone memory :-(

On the other hand, a “hard reset” (which I didn’t test while owning the N73) is said able to force Symbian to format phone memory and restore settings to factory default without asking for a valid lock code.

Again, a “hard reset” requires a secret code. Although there is no technical skill required to trigger a “hard reset”, you might need another hand to help (if it’s too tough to complete the steps at your own):

First, backup the user data (contacts, messages or SMS, notes, calendar entries, etc) if you’re able to (i.e. the phone is not locked).

Next, the core steps to trigger a “hard reset” via secret code:

1) Power off the phone.

2) Press these 3 keys simultaneously: CALL key, ASTERISK key (i.e. *), THREE key.

3) Don’t release that 3 keys until I say so.

4) Press the POWER button to power on the phone again and wait.

5) After the NOKIA logo appears, the “Formatting…” keyword will appear after couple of minutes. Now, you’re safe to release that 3 keys.

Finally, the N73 should have been formatted (hard reset) and ready to configure the phone as if it’s just out of the box (suppose the “hard reset” secret code really works).

Hope it will work :)
