Nokia Cell Formating

Yesterday my cell went down for some reasons and had to be formatted.I have Nokia 6600 with me. Am sure that almost everyone of you might had encountered simillar problems with your cell phones( Am talking bout GSM mobiles with MMC card).Well if you had..then i know you had to chizzle it up by spending some hefty amount to the service center.Well my point is that why to waste money on something that you can do for your self.Now you can do its formatting manually. Am not sure about other mobiles if it works with them or not but for NOKIA 6600 here is how you can do it.

Note:-First of all Make A Full Back Up, at least Contacts, Calendar and Settings (Internet, MMS, GPRS, WAP etc..w/settings Transfer Wizard).
Then List all the Apps and settings you have installed, to re-install later.
I Keep all my installed Apps in a few Folders as backup.

Some problems for which you need to format:
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. Unable to delete unwanted files on C drive.

The old commands supposed to work...

A. Normal reset *#7780# 3rd party apps remains
B. Deep Reset *#7370# removes everything

(or)
C. Do a Full phone formatting on your 6600! 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.
3. Switch-off your 6600 phone.
4. Press and hold 3 keys; Green dial key, * Star key, no. 3 key on
keypad and then press the power on/off to Switch On the 6600 phone.

Remember, do not let go the 3 press and hold keys until you see a
formatting word screen show!

5. After a few minutes when the Full phone formatting completed, your
6600 will back to original system and factory settting.

I am thinking of trying A, B, then C to check it out.

You too try it out if it goes by your way or not..If there are any problems juz lemme know.

hey and add a word of caution that all mobile numbers stored in phone memory, all new songs, all new images will be deleted, and only the factory settings will remain.....so i think u can add this caution to the post.....so that people can take a back up, if they just wanna try
