To format your cell ( Symbian )

Tested on 6600 and 7610

Ur battery should be full for it

1) Switch ur phone off

2) Press "call"+"*"+"3" and then press the POWER ON button ( keep all of them pressed ).. till the time phone comes on and "FORMATING " word comes on screen..

VOILA!! all formatting and restoration of phone memory to original state..

(thanx to khandu for this info which he had posted on a thread related to nokia phone codes)

Is the operating system of the phone reloaded after the format process is completed automatically or do we have to do it manually . What are the requirements if we have to manually do it .

@godsownman
the operating system is reloaded automatically. u lose all ur data and the phones memory is restored. the phone becomes fresh n fast.

Just type in *#7370# it will ask u do u want to restore factory settings say "Yes" and then it u will have ur symbian OS reset=formatted

godsownman · 10-09-2005, 01:32 PM

So how much time does this process take.

Thats really easy .

I never thought it could be so easy .

vignesh · 10-09-2005, 06:21 PM

Its not a very long process.

cryptid · 10-09-2005, 11:35 PM

well the process should take around 3 to 4 mins but it is slightly higher on a 6600 i have personally observed it

just make sure that the battery is full or connect ur phone to a charger while formatting.

Because if the battery gets empty while formatting u will end up with a brick.

Are there any tricks like this for an Ngage phone.

Will this also remove any viruses that may have entered the phone.?

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend .

Thanks
