Reformating Nokia 3230



You can re-format the phone using either tricks:

The Three-Keys Boot Method:

Turn off the phone
Press and hold [*] [3] [Green Button] simultaneously while you,
Turn on the Phone

The *#7370# Method (Deep Reset*):

Turn on the phone
Key in *#7370#
Enter the Security Code when prompted (the default Security Code is 12345)
Caveat: Make sure the battery is at nearly full charge (or do it while charging the phone.) A discharged battery while formatting the phone will lead to unpredictable results.

After formatting, the phone will revert to default settings including a freshly installed Symbian OS. You will lose all your data so back them up first.


* You can key in *#7780# to perform a Normal Reset. The Normal Reset will restore files from the ROM but keeps user data (your pics, sms in the Inbox, 3rd party software etc) intact.

Finally, found this topic at http://www.carareok.com/bluemint/index.php/pdate/2005/12/18/. Been looking for guides on how-to-reformat-Nokia3230 for quite some time already.

p/s: LiangWee... problem solved eh? haha
