Reset Nokia E71

November 13th, 2009

Are you having weird problems with your Nokia E71 that you didn’t have when you first got it? Maybe it is time to reset your phone. There are two ways of resetting, a soft and a hard reset. You should always backup your phone, before resetting it.

Soft reset

A soft reset only reboots your phone, but leaves all messages, contacts, calls, applications, themes and so on. Follow the following steps to perform a soft reset:

  1. Type *#7780# from the standby screen
  2. Enter the security code (default 12345)
  3. Confirm the soft reset

Hard reset

When performing a hard reset, your phone gets restored to its factory default settings. You will loose all your messages, contacts, calls, applications, themes and so on. Follow this steps to perform a hard reset:

  1. Type *#7370# from the standby screen
  2. Enter the security code (default 12345)
  3. Confirm the hard reset

I hope this helps solve your weird problems with your Nokia E71. It always helps me to boost my Nokia E71…
