Post by: ben2ong2 on October 14, 2006, 03:32:10 PM
If you encounter a situation like below on your symbian phone,


1. Blank screen phone unable to reboot.

2. Phone only able to boot-up to 'Nokia' word screen.

3. Install some program but not able to uninstall it after that.

4. Error messages such as 'Child Installer' keeps popping-up.



do a full phone formatting on your phone as steps below;



1. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery power left.


2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card. (see link below)


3. Switch-off your phone.


4. Press and hold these 3 keys; Green dial key, * (star key) and no. 3 key and then press the power on/off to switch on the phone.



Remember, do not let go all of the keys, hold until you see a formatting word screen show!



5. After a few minutes when the full phone formatting completed, your phone will be back to original system and factory setttings.



All applications installed will be lost unless you've made a backup on your mmc. You can restore the backup to the C drive again.
