Formatting an S60 device:
- Soft Reset (*#7780#): This is a normal reset. It will load the original settings from the phone's ROM. However, it will retain the user's own data. Like images, music, installed applications etc.
- Hard Reset (*#7370#): This method completely reformats the C: drive (Phone Memory). All the user information will be deleted. Like images, music files, installed applications etc. Hence, the phone is set to the default factory settings.
On performing any of above methods of formatting the phone, device will ask you for a security/lock code. Default code is 12345.
Data stored on E: drive (MMC) will not be affected by these sequences.
You can also try for the alternative approach.
* Switch Off the device. * Press and Hold down the keys Green/Talk + 3 + *. * Switch On the device. * If everything goes well then you will see "Formatting" screen.
Note: Please make sure that your device is fully charged before you proceed with formatting the device. If the battery goes down during this procedure, It may result in inconsistent state of your device.
