Deleted something I shouldn't have.... Oops...

4 replies · 2,296 views · Started 20 August 2003

Yesterday, I managed to delete c:/system from my phone.
Clever eh?

The problems that I have now is that I can't create any new SMS's, or open the ones that I receive - I can see them in my inbox, and see the first few words of the message.

I don't appear to have lost any other data, other than the background picture. All my phone contacts and photos are still here, and I can make and receive calls as normal.

How can I sort out the SMS problem?

One advice,don't restart or shutdown your phone,because it might not start up.You can't fix the SMS things,you will need to do a hard reset: *#7370# .If you dicide to to this,don't blame me if something goes wrong,you are doing in on your own risk,if that doesn't work,a trip to the nearest NSC will fix it.

I hope you have made a backup.

Hi..GhostDog, i'm a newbie here .. 😊 pls tell me how to make a back up the phone to pc .. ? i wanna make a back up for my 3650 n 6600 , ..for safety..
'cause i'm trying to install apps2.. 😊 i'm worried the troubles come to my phone .. 😊 pls tell me how to back up ..
Thanks a lot.

Use the phone's built-in "Memory" app to back up to a memory card (see the obvious choice in "Options"😉.

To back up to a PC, you need to use Nokia PC Suite over infrared or Bluetooth. It has a backup feature. By default it doesn't back up quite everything (see the BackupExclusionList.dat in the PC Suite installation directory for what's not).
