    Question How to Hard (full) Format Nokia N73?

    Hi. I just bought Nokia N73. I want to full format my phone. I tried the " *,3, green dial " method but it dose not work on N73. The Codes *#7370# and *#7780# work on N73 but they just restore factory settings they donot format the fone. Is there any method through which i can fully format my N73? Thanks in advance.

    Well i have tried this 3 button method for about 100 times on N73 but its not working. I have read on other forms too that this method of formating dosent work on N73. Is there any other method of fully formating the N73?

    That way is to enable the factory resetting method and it is not for hard formatting

    Guyz those who r facing problem with the 3-button method just keep on holding the buttons i.e (* 3 green call) not only till the phone gets switch on but also it shows u to select country just dont leave holding buttons as soon as phone gets switch on. It will take approx 40-50 sec or more just try out guyz. N see to it dat ur battery is full charged......

    Switch off the phone.
    Press and Hold the three buttons (Green + * + 3).
    Switch on the phone.
    Dont release the three buttons till you see the "Select City" option.

    Warning: All data will be erased from the phone (Contacts, Messages, Schedules..)
