The way to button-press Hard Reset your E72 is the SAME as the N97.

Hold these buttons:

- Capslock

- Space

- Backspace

and Press the power on. As usual, keep the buttons pressed and voila!

Found it out by trial and error when the * + 3 + Call didnt work.

is this true for the e63?

[Spamouflage]

It didn't work for me, I must be doing something wrong.

Will this 3-button hard reset also affect (format) the memory card (E or only the built-in phone memory (C only?

[Update4America]

Can someone please verify if this method works?

[arden625]

Confirmed that this method works. I just did it early today.

And no, it does NOT format your memory card (E:\), just phone memory (C:\).

hi..if i would perform hard reset on nokia e72....will the firmware version be affected? i have upgraded it to latest firmware...will this be erased as well?

[Mrmotinjo]

Just tested this, as I got the infamous mailbox bug, coupled with constant wifi scanning.

The method listed here works perfectly, and no, it does not affect the firmware version.

It also seems that all my applications installed on the memory card were INTACT, which is about the only positive point I can think of.

if you are playing reset at all make sure you ALWAYS remove your memory card from your phone prior to any such games. have fun playing always with caution and reason

I did that... And my menu is jumbled up!!! Settings icon is lost! OMG what do I do...

[puasho]

What do you mean? Settings icon?

[adeelamalik]

just applied this method to the e72 and it worked wonders.

thnx a lot for the tip.

[charithamila]

pls can you expalin it in detail how to do the hard reset

Thnx

[puasho]

Switch your phone off.

Then, lay it down on a flat surface

With 3 finger of one hand, keep pressed shift, space bar and back space all at the same time

With one finger of the other hand, press the power on button

Do not release neither the 3 keys nor the power key till you see the nokia shakehands animation

That's all

This is amazing!!!! it definitely works. i got this stupid bug....i duno how....can someone explain to me why this happens? my phone memory kept filling up...and i couldn't fix it. so i took out my memory card before I did the hard reset. The only way to fix it was this....I just hard reset my phone and I checked my phone memory...it showed 64kb sometimes or 60mb as free memory..kept changing. after hard reset it now shows 240mb. so i think it worked. lets hope i dont get this bug again.

[prao]

Thank you so much. I think i got some bug and i kept getting that delete some data or move from phone memory error constantly. This helped. I hope i dont get the bug again.

[paekapikk]

none of the above mentioned versions work for me... I have an officially unlocked Orange phone and it doesn`t matter which reset I perform all the settings still come back... what can I do?? Any idea??

[frankiewizard]
