I accept no responsibility for use of this code. It is undocumented, not supported by Nokia or Symbian and should be used at your own risk. The soft-format code for Series 60 phones is.#7370#. You enter this code as you would enter a phone number in the Phone application. It performs a format of the Internal drive – All data will be lost if you use this feature. The method of performing a hard-format, i.e resetting it completely to factory defaults and removing all data, is as follows:. Switch off the phone.
Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button,. button, and ‘3’ button. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone. When the message ‘Formatting’ appears on the screen, release all of the buttons Note that you shouldn’t switch the phone off or remove the battery when performing either of these operations, and it’s advised that the handset has a reasonable amount of battery charge before performing a format/reset. As data will be lost, you are advised to perform a backup first MACBUCKLEY. Hey Guys, please find below the common reasons why ppl cant use the N91 properly. After upgrading the phone to the new version, I have found that there are no issues.
The phone does not hang or restart now. When the software takes a lot of time to update, I suggest that the computer should have atleast 512MB RAM and a very good internet speed. Else, it wil take a lot of time and even your phone may hang.

It sounds like Vodoo, doesn’t make any technical sense, but it worked for me: 1. Switch off the phone 2.
Open back cover 3. Press power button 4.
Goto the Tools Folder, Harddrive and you can see no harddrive 5. Close back cover 6. Goto the Tools Folder, Harddrive and you can see harddrive is availabe My other problem which started all this, was also that my phone got stuck in the Nokia start up loop. Taking the battery out did not help this time. But removing the SIM card made it accessable.
At which point the harddrive didn’t work and I had to use the above mentioned Vodoo Phone is working again thanks. I have my n91-1, the 4 Gig one.i ignore start up failed one time because when i turn my phone back on, it was fine.but now its showing start up failed contact retailer again.i did the hard reset and the color turned to the default color but once its shows me to type the password it automatically goes back to start up failed contact retailer and it will stay there until i remove the battery. Pls help methis phone is crappy! I wish i could have waited for the other phones w/o this crappy hard drive! Pls pls pls help me.
I initially performed the hard format suggested above: Switch off the phone. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button,. button, and ‘3′ button While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone When the message ‘Formatting’ appears on the screen, release all of the buttons I still got the “hard drive is not available” message so I followed Nashir’s suggestion below. It worked and now the hard drive is availableThank You:) Nashir April 13, 2007 at 4:10 am Now You can reset your n91 hard drive easily if your “hard drive is not available” switch off your mobile replace your back cover and switch on than go to menu and open “Tutorial” after that put your back cover now you go back to tools open your “hard drive” option now you can see the format option check it really works. HELLO All, i have n91.but i from now last one month i am facing one problem.and that problem is before one week suddenly my phone’s keypad stop working.i dont know why? And then i just restart my phone after 3 days its start working n then againg now its creating the problem.
N that is some times the keypad is working n some time its not working? I dont know what the problem is? N ya can any body tell me that fom where i can find out the total body f n91. CAUSE MY PHONE LOOKS SO BAD NOW A DAYS. PLS IF ANY BODY KNOWS THEN PLS PLS REPLY ME. Here is the solution(we do not have to use any of box or sofeware): 1. Normally i will turn on the phone and press.#7370# to restore to factory setting first.
TAKE OFF BACK COVER. Reboot phone by holding the (pen-key), the phone will boot as safemode. (it looks no different from normal mode) 3. Go to Tool-harddisk (now you will still see “harddisk is not available”) 4. PUT BACK COVER ON (do this slowly). Then the phone will work very slow BUT THE PHONE IS NOT HUNG. You have to be patient, and press option key, and wait for phone responds, it normally takes from 2mins to 5 mins (some phones responds fast, some phones responds slower, depands how it reads harddisk) 6.
After option menu comes up, choose harddisk to format (formatting takes about 15 mins or more, be patient, wait until it finish, after formatting harddisk, every thing will work ok again) note: after put your backcover back, each key you press, phone will respond very slow, because it’s reading harddisk, but THE PHONE IS NOT HUNG more. Device hangs when booting Cause: – Corrupt HDD – Defective HDD – Defective device – HDD sticking Cannot access the HDD Cause: – Battery cover not in place – Magnet missing from battery cover – Damaged HDD – Corrupt data on HDD – Poor interconnect between HDD and PWB HDD Corrupt Cause: – Data installed from factory, that was corrupted – Applications installed on the HDD by user, not compatible S60 applications that are not version 3.0 (previous versions) are not compatible with N91. – Application install process to the HDD by user, that are not compatible If an application was copied from another device to a PC and then onto the HDD via mass storage, this will corrupt the HDD. Applications that worked in non-S60 3.0 devices will not work in the N91 or other S60 3.0 devices because of binary incompatability.
Example: an application that works in a N70 or 6630 will not work in the N91 or N71. If an application was downloaded from the MMC of these devices and transferred (drag and Drop) into the N91, this would corrupt the HDD and the HDD would have to be formatted to function again. The N91, on startup, will see applications that were copied from the PC to the HDD. It will try to install these applications; this will lock the HDD and not allow access. This problem, with early sw (version 1.0), was only able to be repaired by formatting the HDD with Phoenix, because the USB connection could not access the HDD. Also, if the customer took a backup of a corrupted HDD image, when they restore this image to the device it will have the same fault.
If an application was interrupted when it was being installed on the HDD by a power cycle. Applications have to be allowed to install uninterrupted Slow Accessing Applications Causes: SMS, MMS, Themes, and some applications if they are loaded onto the HDD, will cause slow access times. All these items should be loaded onto the devices internal memory and not the HDD. Quick Test tips If the device will not boot: – Restart the device with the battery cover removed If the device boots then there is a HDD issue. If the device boots but can not see the HDD – Make sure the battery cover is in place.
– Check that there is a magnet in the B-Cover Use a metal object (a paper clip works) and see if it sticks to the lower right side of the device (opposite to the USB connector) If it does not stick replace the b-cover with a good b-cover. Testing There are different tools available to test and repair the HDD. They are available from the User Interface (UI), through the “Mass Storage” USB selection when connected to a PC and through Phoenix test software. Depending on the level of corruption on the device, this will limit which tools can be used. If the HDD is not accessible through the UI or the PC, then the last chance to format the HDD is through Phoenix. Soft-format: The soft-format code for Series 60 phones is.#7370#.
