Full Formatting Tips For Nokia 7710.

Other way to Format is that #7370#

@Vicky, cool, thank you. 😊

Your WellCome.....
I Think This is one of the bigest problem we all faced.
And i know wht happened if a person buys a phone and during the next couple days if he face the problem.

I recently bought a Nokia 7710 phone in India. For over a month it worked fine and then all of a sudden one day when I was working, i just got a plain blank white screen. I took it to the Nokia guys and they reloaded the OS and I lost all my contacts.

It was working fine till I arrived in Canada and I forgot to recharge it. The next time I put it to recharge, again the white screen!

I got the latest OS version flashed in from a friend at Nokia and It did not work and this time my friend suggested the MMC card could be the problem. So one more flash in and all was fine with my SIM inside and no MMC. Things were fine and i started playing around, and this time I tried to change the default theme and bang! white screen!

I am unable to switch it off ( I was never able to), so only workaround is to pull out the battery. I did that & after 10 seconds, put it in and still the white screen! It shows the Nokia logo and after sometime it tried to load the OS and again back to the logo, a continuous loop.

I now see this more as a hardware problem rather than anything else. I had tried previously to format the phone but I was unable to just a white screen! no prompt for format appeared.

Any ideas from your side/thoughts on this...Please Help!

My phone is almost a month old now. Nothing like this has happend to it touch wood. But your problem is scaring. I wonder if something like this happens to my phone, I will really get mad. Afterall Nokia sevice center in my city has a tendency to complicate the problems rather than to solve them. I am thinking seriously to auction my phone now. You really SCARED me.

after formating i lost my 1 theme & phone line icon any one can help me from where to get it

Thanksb

Hi, If I format my 7710 will it erase the OS and then reinstall it and all of the standard apps that come with the phone, or will it just erase the mmc card?

If your NOKIA 7710 cannot START ,

When you try to Switch it on, Nokia LOGO hangs on screen , correct ?
Also when you try to charge it, against Nokia hangs on screen, correct ?

You need to format it , here's how ...

I had the same problem so i know it how 😉

1. Disconnect the charger and remove the battery.
2. Wait for at leats ten seconds and insert the battery to start the device.
3. When you see the NOKIA Welcome screen, immediately press and hold down the
1st Options key (which is on the menu key)
2nd Menu key
and the 3rd key is at the right , its at the middle, hold down all over 8 or 10

seconds long, then a black screen will come and ask you if you wanna proceed,

then select OK and its formatting over 2 or 3 minutes later your mobile will be

ready to use.

i send my mobil to company for restor and backup but it was proplem it dont see any mmc i am very angry

Neither. The OS and main apps are in ROM and the MMC is, well, the MMC. Reformatting the internal storage disk is what you're talking about.....

My experience with a Nokia 7710, is the same. After few use, in October 2005, happens the same, I don�t pass the Nokia logo. Send it to Nokia Service Point. After 3 months, without any answer from them, I demand the resolution of the situation. They propose to me, give my money back, without repairing. Good news, money back. Bad news, a unit without reparation from Nokia. No more OS experiences for me...

i am having the same problem that venky is having the phone keeps on showing a white screen i think its a fault that nokia needs to correct recall the phones or something

Hello,
did you have any result about your problem. My 7710 is doing the same. I tried to do the suggested procedure but it doesn't work.
Thanks for helping me.

Do you have saw the previous posts😉

thx alot for this but do you know how to format nokia 6680?

Vicky and devilzdanze, your instructions are not clear.
I performed the instructions illustrated here and it worked well.

I Tried what you told me to do Vicky,

1. Disconnect the charger and remove the battery.
2. Wait for at leats ten seconds and insert the battery to start the device.
3. When you see the NOKIA Welcome screen, immediately press and hold down the [= (Left Key) +Menu [.-
The Key [.- should be press at last.
4. Confirm that you want to format. Formatting start.

but when i did that, i press the top right to proceed, but then it turns back to the blank white screen. Could you or anyone explain what i could do? I left it for a few mins, and it still turned out to be that way.

Eject your MMC and try.

try carefully and press the buttons the combination ones and then press the power on button and let us know.
