Here is how you can “Hard Reset/Full Format” a “Bricked” Symbian^3 device (Nokia N8, C7, E7, C6-01) (Most commonly happens due to using “FontRouter”, Advanced Device Locks and some other apps - better avoid installing older version (S60 5th ed) apps in your Symbian^3 phone).Exactly follow the instructions given below:
1. Turn off the phone (Go to no. 2 below if it is already “Off”)
2. PRESS and HOLD “Volume Down Key”, “Camera Key” and the “Menu Key” simultaneously
3. (Still keep pressing the above three keys) Now PRESS and HOLD Power On/Off button (Better get help from someone else for this "Press and Hold so many buttons" maneuver)
4. After a while the phone shakes up and the welcome screen is shown, continue pressing all the four buttons until the "Welcome to Nokia" (Language selection) screen appears, now release the keys…..Back to life! your precious phone
Repeat the process if nothing happens (Pressing four keys simultaneously is not an easy task after all!)
4. After a while the phone shakes up and the welcome screen is shown, continue pressing all the four buttons until the "Welcome to Nokia" (Language selection) screen appears, now release the keys…..Back to life! your precious phone
