Reset Nokia E71 phone


Lost my HTC Desire last week at Copenhagen, sad case.
Was given a replacement this week - Nokia E71, felt like back to stone-age.
Will temporarily use it till Android Ice-Cream-Sandwich is released.


I found that the menu is not user friendly, for those who look for quick reset of the phone, here's the key:

  1. *#7780#
    Enter that into your phone using the keypad, then it will prompt for confirmation to reset to factory default. This only reset all the settings to default factory settings, it doesn't wipe out the data.
  2. Change to "General" profile
  3. *#7370#
    Enter that into your phone using the keypad, then it will prompt for confirmation to format the phone and wipe out the data on the phone (but not on the memory card). It will restart the phone when it is done.

In case you need the default security key/pin, it is: 12345
