Try this:

1. Boot ur phone in safe mode: hold the pen/pencil key while ur phone is boot until it turn on.
2. If not working, bringout the mmc, boot in normal/safe mode
3. U ve to take ur phone to the nearest nokia care centre (ncc) in ur country.

If step 1 or 2 is working, remember what have u done with ur phone at last?

thanx.
rebbot holding the abc button failed...it dosent seem to recognise the abc button....like it wont work,
went to nokia sevice centa...they say i need to reflash.....problem is it cost a ton.
anyways guess i'll save up and reflash in order to get new software ...to anyone....BE WARNED ABOUT DOWNLOADING FONTS....i belive this is what messed me up.
good day.

this has been very helpful to me thanx !!!
u're welcome 😊
but in safe mode how would i be able to correct system error ?
Find 😊 what is the latest thing that u've done with ur phone that make errors? Crash apps? Wrong ver? Virus? Corrupted mmc?
and How could i flash the phone myself and save the cash fromm the trees!!!
If u're good for handling flashing a phone or have some experience, u should know what 2 do 😊

but there is another way, hard format ur phone memory (erase all data in drive c:, and get a new one from the rom drive z😊. Follow this:

1. U can save ur contacts with this way: use app fileman(symbianware.com). Install it to ur mmc. Point to c:\system. Rename the folder data to be data1(c:\system\data --> c:\system\data1). Find the file called contacts.cdb copy and paste to ur mmc. Bring back the folder name again: c:\system\data1 -- c:\system\data. Close fileman. Back to ur phone desktop.

2. type *#7370#. Type ur lock code (default is: 12345). The phone will restart and wait until the phone ask u to enter a new date and time. Take time to erase all of data and get a new one from rom drive.

3. Now ur phone memory already clean right now. Follow the step 1 again(bring back ur contacts. Use fileman again, rename the folder c:\system\data --> c:\system\data1. Copy the file contacts.cdb (saved in mmc -- step one) to c:\system\data1. Bring back the folder name again --> c:\system\data1 ---> c:\system\data. Restart ur phone. If nothing was wrong, u'll able to c ur old contacts database.

Hope this help 😊
