i have a 3230. and it is corrupted now..i need to format the phone..
i trid 7780 code..but it just restores the factory defaults..nothing much...
can anyone tell me anyother ways to format...



i read this from this forum..but not working said:
heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.
for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*>, and the buttons, then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. tis method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code wun be reset to default 12345.

IM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS >>>>

1. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery power left.

2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card.

3. Switch-off your phone.

4. Press and hold 3 keys; Green dial key, * Star key, no. 3 key on keypad and then press the power on/off to swtich on the phone.

Remember, do not let go the 3 press and hold keys until you see a formatting word screen show!


5. After a few minutes when the Full phone formatting completed, your 3230 will back to original system and factory settting.
