Nokia E61i Factory Reset

Here’s how to reset a Nokia E61i to it’s factory settings:

  1. Turn off the phone;
  2. Hold these three buttons simultaneously:
    • Call Button (the green one);
    • The letter “Y” (the number “3″);
    • The letter “U” (the “*” key);
  3. Turn on phone (don’t let go of the three buttons!);
  4. Only release the buttons when the phone is really on (when you see a bright “Nokia” logo).

That’s it. Weird, but true. Don’t know if you can do it through the menus, which should be easier…

    Well, the “Default Master Reset” don’t work. Unless there is some trick on how to use it, I keep getting “Invalid Number”.

    So, what do I do to initiate the “Master Reset”?
    And the Fine Owners manual is not clear on it either.
