How to hard reset Nokia 5800 Xpress Music?

Please make backup before applying this type of reset, since it will restore the phone’s settings to factory default as well as erasing all the data in the phone memory.

1st option

Soft Reset (when you CAN still use the phones touchscreen)

You need to use the touchscreen dialer to enter these codes:

*#7780# if you want to restore factory settings only and it will NOT delete data.

 *#7370# if you want to reformat your phone and delete all the data in it.

 Press Select.

 Voila, your phone is back to normal.

 Congratulations.

Last option

Hard Reset (if you CANNOT use anymore the phones touchscreen)

You need to use the phones buttons and your 4 fingers to do this trick. 

Switch off the phone. (Remove the battery if you cannot turn it off)

Press the buttons: GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously (DO NOT LET GO OF THE BUTTONS) until you see the “Select Country” option after the Nokias Handshake Welcome Logo appear.

Choose your country, enter the date and time.

Voila, your phone is back to normal.

Congratulations.

Note:

If you were asked for a code, just type: 12345 (unless you change it)
