Hello, I have a Nokia 700 and I tried to perform a hard reset by entering the code *#7370#. The warning message showed up and I clicked “YES” but I didn’t have the time to enter the whole security code and I only entered 123. Then the phone switched off, and no it cannot be switched back on again. The only thing that is comming up is the NOKIA logo and then a black screen again. Several times I saw 3 colorful stripes going through the length of the screen.
I tried holding the volume down+unlock+camera+reject button, as well as volume down+camera+menu button. The outcome is the same, the phone tried to boot, but cannot go past the NOKIA logo.
I hope you can help me and I am looking forward to your reply.
Regards, Stoycho
@ Stoycho Pampov, If you have entered the incomplete password and that code is accepted by your phone, then there is problem in the phone software. As you said your phone is only showing the Nokia Logo, this error generally occur when software is corrupted.
All you can do is to take your Phone to Nokia Service Centre.
Hello Rajesh,

Offline mode >> Switched to general >> N8 Restart >> Offline mode
Tried with other sim cards but issue persist.

Hi, I have installed Nokia Belle on N8. Can i reinstall this OS again like we do in Computers whatever might be the reason it is for reinstall?
Instead of re-installing you should prefer hard resting your Nokia phone.
To do Hard Reset, Type:
*#7370#
Nokia Default Password: 12345
If you want to re-install the Nokia Belle again, then you can use phoenix software. Read this: https://www.nokiageek.com/how-to-flash-nokia-n8.html
You can also take your Phone to the nearest Nokia service centre to re-install the OS again.
i have a nokia x3-00, i typed in *#7370# and nothing happens, it says result unknown, how do i do a hard reset with this phone?
This code doesn’t work in java phones..
i want to reset my security code of nokia 5310,
can u help me patel.
worked for me – on a C7 running S.Belle.
Thanks!
Hi, my N8 (Belle refresh) switches on only up to the home screen, then none of the widgets appear, just the wallpaper, network & battery status. This happens for about three seconds. Then it restarts twice with the same results. Then it finally switches off. I tried the “three finger” hard reset= volume down + camera button + menu button, but it doesn’t work. I have been thinking of flashing the phone with phoenix but it won’t stay on so pheonix doesn’t detect it. Should I flash it as a “bricked” or dead phone?
Thanx in advance!
No better first you do hard reset and then reinstall the phone software..
Hi, did you fixed your N8? How! I have a nokia C7, and I must if I can reinstaling the original S3 on him, without any update! Can you give me more details?
Thanks!
