Wiping Data From N95 8GB

speedfreak

Hi all,

looking to sell my trusty N95. Whats the best way to ensure all personal data is removed from email, maps, apps etc? I could un install the apps but would like to leave them for new user. Any ideas?
ta!

Soft reset is to reset the phone to factory default setting. (If you have saved files like ringtones, pics...etc... in the phone memory, They'll still remain)

Hard reset is to reset the phone to factory default setting but all data saved on the phone will be lost.

Only way to do what you want is to do it manually.

Codes for the resets:

Soft reset code *#7370#
Hard reset code *#7780#

If the hard format code mentioned above does not work, try the following manual method to hard reset/format Nokia N95:

*Turn off the mobile device. Then press and hold “3", the “Green button” and “*” - Turn on and keep holding the keys untill the mobile phone restarts and prompts you to enter details.

120_Minutes

also check that it wipes the email headers from your inbox, as these can be tricky (but not impossible) to wipe.

np at all, just be aware that with a hard reset apps also get lost

I recently unlocked my 8Gb with a code from 02, I'm now going to sell it.

If I hard reset it will it lock back to the 02 network again?
