How to reset/reformat a phone:
It may happens that a program corrupts the C: drive of your phone. In such case, some data can be lost of course but, more annoying, some applications may not work or work only partially,…
Series 60
On a Series 60 v1 based phone (N-Gage, 3650, 7650), two key sequences will allow to restore your phone to a cleaner state:
- 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.
In both case, the phone will ask you a confirmation and you will have to enter a security code (12345 by default).
Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by these sequences.
On Series 60 phones such as (6600/6620/7610), the sequence is slightly different:
- power the phone off,
- press and keep down the keys green/talk + ’3′ + ‘*’, – power on the phone.
- release the keys when the formatting starts.

pls help how to reformat c3nokia all the files was deleted specially the web search they said invalid web settings what should i do to back again all the application on my mobile thanks and hope to teach me how to reformat my mobile thank you.
@peter.. if you remember the correct password that you set before and you are sure that you r typing right security code but your phone says Wrong pass word then dont worry all nokia phones have a security feature that phn will not accept ANY password if you entered repeatedly 08 wrong password entries at the same time. if you are facing this problem then please wait for one or two hours then enter right password..hope you will get success.
and another case you have to go service point like nokia care they will reset your phones Tuning And Maintenance settings.. Hope You will get the right answer. . from me..

Hi!
Unfortunately I failed to upgrade the software to my Nokia 6220 Classic because I had plugged in the USB cable into the front of my computer. Nokia Software Updater then said that you should not plug the cable in to any kind of USB adapters and so on – AFTER downloading and starting to format my phone.
Now it wont start. When holding down the “on” button it just vibrate a little and the screen lights up a little bit, then it goes back to completely black again. I have tried to hold down “green button” + “3″ + “*” and turn the phone on, but it does not seem to begin formatting. I have tried it at least tree times. Does anyone know for how long I should hold down the combination? Or how I should do otherwise? Shocked
I’d be very happy if someone could help me with this!
Peace out
Thanks a lot guys! I didn’t think it would be this easy. to think I often go to Nokia Care to reformat my phone. More power!
