If you have all of your contacts saved on your SIM i would find a sim reader and copy all the details over. If not I really don't see a work around for this one.
Sorry

  • Startup failed after update

    I just updated my phone from nokia software updater and the computer told me it was successful etc.
    But when i turned my phone back on again it asks me to put my pin in and then says 'Phone startup failed. Contact the retailer'.
    Why won't it turn on!
    I've taken my memory card out and taken the battery out and back in twice. 

    Just me, my phone is a 6110 navigator.

  • Hi i ve a problem with nokia 3230 multimedia messa...

    i am using nokia 3230 phone & having a problem with my phone's mms whenever i open messages and then click on mms nothing opens. i dont know why the phone behaving so, i downloaded mms settings from my networks website but it still not working please help me.

    Sounds like a software problem do a hard reset . Turn your phone off now befor u turn your phone back on press and hold the star key ,,,the number 3 key and the green call key ... Now keep all of them held down while u turn the phone on keep them down untill your phone has totaly booted up . Now put all settings in your phone again as a hard reset wipes all data off ur phone .... Now it should qork ..... Good luck

  • WHITE SCREEN IN NOKIA 3230

    This morning i saw a white screen on my nokia 3230 phone.It was normal to me as the phone hangs sometimes but whenever i switch it off and then started my nokia 3230 every thing went fine, But this time even on restarting white screen came again.I switched off and started my phone a number of times but the same white screen came again .I dont know how it happened as one hour before the white screen incident i checked my messages on the same phone and then the phone was fine.I dont know what has happened.Ya but the phone is working fine.I could receive calls.BUT the white screen is present..!!!
    What is the problem with my phone???
    What is the solution?
    any idea...pls do reply

    Funny thing I must say, it worked when I initiated the remove-battery-insert-battery-restart sequence immediately after posting this message But I am sure it is only the matter of it being switched off again, so I want to go for the firmware update. I am sure it has never been updated since it last left the Nokia factory, so if someone can tell me how this can be done, it'll be great. I am sure it is on the end of its life but i want to give it one last shot for old time sake!

  • "Startup failed, contact your retailer"

    I recently bought a nokia X6. while browsing through my photos it suddenly went dead and whenever i try to switch it on i get a message "Startup failed, contact your retailer"? Can this problem be solved? And if the sofware is corrupt, is the software available online incase i have to flash? what could be the possible reason for this?
    And whats the best antivirus software for my phone which will keep away all the virus and malware.

    you dont need anti virus
    try holding the green red and camera key down while powering on until you see nokia hansdhake if this fails return it to point of purchase or a nokia care centre
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • ThreadPool startup failed

    Hello together.
    I have a problem with our Enterprise Portal 6.0 (SPS19).
    This morning under System Administration -> Monitoring -> Knowledge Management -> Component Monitor under Services -> scheduler the ThreadPool was red with the status "startup failed".
    The status was ok after a restart of the whole Portal.
    Please let me know if there is a possibility to Restart the ThreadPool alone without a restart of the whole Portal.
    Please let me know what can be the reason for a ThreadPool with red status.
    Kind Regards,
    Mischa

    Remove the Battery for a couple of minutes, insert and keep the phone on charging for 15-20 minutes. Then switch the phone ON. If problem remains, you need to visit Nokia Care ..or think of buying a new phone ...as the existing phone is running on an OS which is long dead.

    Hi Badaun,
    Try these things:
    1- Resetting the phone using "restore factory settings" under the Setting Menu? or typing *#7780# on standby - 12345 is the default code.
    2- Doing a hard reset just press simultaneously these 3 buttons: power button + * + 3 or a combination of power button + #3 + green/call button.
    *Don't forget to backup your contacts, files, and settings.
    Otherwise, if anything above fails, it might be linked to a hardware problem.
    Good luck

  • N78: Update startup failed. (This is getting reall...

    Okay, Here's the problem:

    3. Me: K then, update it!
    4. NSU: k, updating.
    5. NSU: DL'ing 123 MB worth of **bleep**!
    6. NSU: *goes bonkers and throws a -*
    - 7. NSU: Random BS message: Connect you phone to the PC USB directly, yadda yadda yadda.
    8. Me: BUT IT IS!
    9. Me: Try again!
    10. NSU: UPDATE STARTUP FAILED.
    11. Me: *random expletives*

  • How to recover contacts from nokia 3230 memory?

    I have Nokia 3230 mobile, it is now having problem in getting powered on. I contacted the nearby Nokia care center, they told they can reset the phone, but all sms and contacts will be erased. But I need to recover all my contacts from the phone.
    I bought a memory card reader & using which I have managed to read the memory card of the phone, but it only recovers images and videos. This does not shows the sms and contacts.
    Where are my contacts and sms stored(they are not in SIM memory as I tried inserting SIM in different mobile phone)?
    How can I recover my contact list and sms messages from the phone memory?
    Pls help.

    Don't think thats possible, unless the phone switches ON. 
    A lesson learnt is..Always back-up your data at regular intervals especially after you make changes... 
    BTW, does the phone need a Reset ? If its just some electronic problem they can rectify it without loss of any data. Only if its some Software related issue then they need to Reset the device... and hope you have confirmed that its not the Battery that is the cause of the dead phone..

  • Requirement of antivirus for nokia 3230.

    I am always fill my MMC card from PC having updated antivirus like quick heal. So is their any requirement of antivirus for my nokia 3230? If yes kindly tell me sample suitable antiviruses so that I can install into my device.

    A virus cannot infect a S60 phone without definite, positive action from the user explicitly allowing it to install and granting it access to the phone's resources. As such, you need not worry about an antivirus for the phone.
    Your only risk here is the phone transporting a virus that affects the computers to which you connect it. Your solution there is to use an antivirus on those computers.

  • Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Startup Problem..

    Hi, I have Nokia 5610 XM startup problem with memory card.. (I tried with 3 different micro SD card also)
    I made video of problem.. video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqUaI3S3v5s&feature​=channel_page
    If I remove the memory card, then it starts succefully.. And if I plug in back memory card, then phone restarts in 2hours or in calling time... sorry about my English.. 
    Greetings,

    it sounds like it could be the memory card connectors or something like that if you say that it works fine without the card in, you might want to take it to nokia care point for them to have a look at this issue.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Problem with nokia 3230

    AA
    i have proble with my mobile nokia 3230
    i try 2 start it but it didn`t start
    and when it starts and this is rarly it works few minutes and then make something of
    1- switch off and didn`t start again
    2- restart itself and then wait minutes then switch off
    i thought it is avirus i installed antivirus but it didn`t work or also opened
    note: in the minuted of working with my mobile it works perfectly and all programs works except anti.
    i need a solution pls

    I suffered from a similar problem. My nokia will continually shutdown. recently up to 9 times a day.
    I searched the net and found this to be a common wide spread problem with the 3230. Apparently some have had some luck by getting the latest version of firmware installed.
    I am having some luck at the moment with a reprieve from the problem. All i did was clean the battery contacts and kept the charge full. I think it is more coincidence than a fix. I will be getting the phone flashed with newer version of firmware very soon.
    stay calm. many have ditched this model because of this fault.
    cheers.
