Because NOKIA 3660 is running in Symbian OS v6.1 and therefore this '3 secret keys' function is not implemented to it, only Symbian OS v7.0 or higher only capable doing this type of formatting method.

You can do it by pressing *#7370# or *#7780#.

About the latest Psiloc System Tools, click HERE to download it.

Dont simply format your SYMBIAN PHONE... Make sure it is BACKUP... Everything gone once you enter the security code...

You're right, besides, it is recomended to plug in a charger while formatting the phone because while in the process of formatting and your phone being turned off, this will permanently damage the phone system.

After step 2,better remove ur MMC card and then continue the next steps.

none for Sony Ericsson?
#109# - deactivates your voice mail
*109# - activates your voice mail

-regards-

depends on the phone also..i was formatting the my 7650 when the batt ran out..end up showing "phone startup failed,contact retailer"..which need a trip to the nokia centre...

how bout motorola's phone???

So make sure your battery is fully charged or plug in the charger before formatting... A trip to Nokia Center will cost you RM30 for reflashing...

doesn't work leh
specific models is it?

i receive this e-mail today, not sure whether this is true or not :

"If you receive a phone call on your mobile from any person, saying that, he or she is a company engineer, or telling that they're checking your mobile line, and you have to press # 90 or #09 or any other number. End this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your "SIM" card and make calls at your expense. Forward this message to as many friends as you can, to stop it"
