Hi,

My 5500 is driving me up the wall since the past few days. Its become very very slow and the phone flash memory seems to be fully occupied for some reason. I decided to uninstall a few apps and some of them fail to uninstall. I decided to format the phone and the memory.

I am unable to format the phone using the *#7370# code as it keeps asking for some lock code. Heaven knows when and where I ever set a lock code on the phone. In fact I realised that it can go upto 10 digits long and there is no way I can now figure out what the code is. I tried 0s and 1s and this doesnt seems to work.

I tried the (call + 3 + *) combo and this formatted the phone, tho I am still unable to format the memory as it says some application is using the memory card. Now even after this format, I am unable to use the *# code and it keeps asking me for the pass code.

What to I do?

Regards,
Prashanth

Hi herculesksp

If you input *#7370# it can ask you to input lock code which is 12345 (Nokia default) followed by YES.

Beautiful. That worked. Thanks a million.

Would you by chance also happen to know how I can format my memory card without the phone detecting it and somehow locking it from being formatted immediately upon a restart?

Hi herculesksp

I would suggest formatting in a card reader on PC if available.
