i tried *#7370# but it asks for security code, can i get it without security code as i have forgotten it.

I have formatted my Nokia 6600 but the programs were not working and installation files were also not working.

Kindly help me.

hi! i've read parts of the thread and found very interesting and you guys could help me instead bringing to nokia service center..

My 6600 won't continue to boot and a white screen just pop up..and from what i've read reformatting should solve the prob...but my other problems are the phonebook,messages and calendar.

if the Deep reset could bring it back to factory setting is it possible in any way if i could retrieve those valuable information, which i save from my phone, before i reset it? thank you so much!

factory setings? do you mean it will come back in the state where we buy new handphone (have some basic tools), or it will erase all so it would looks like PC DOS mode ? 😊

so if we used *#7370# , can we still make a call or sms? :-?

thanks

Full phone formatting on a 6600!

If you encounter situation like below on your 6600,
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.

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 swtich 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.

Bye and enjoy!

You already do what�s possible!
Another clue, it�s check if you use the last firmware inside (only on a Nokia Service).
