I'm not sure what you mean by "MSG type". There are 3 different resets andthey are all different. The buttons reset is the highest level reset.
File is not retrievable by normal means once deleted from the memory card. You could try a data recovery specialist but it will probably cost.

Reset Nokia 6300 lock code

i forgot my nokia 6300 lock code.
I even dont know how to get my phone IMEI Code
pls help me to break the code

The default code is 12345, unless you changed this and have forgotten it. This means you will have to visit a local Nokia Care point to get your phone unlocked.
You can get your IMEI code by checking the abck of yoru phone under the battery and on the box the phone came in.

How to add password to nokia 5230 mobile?

Hello,
I have recently bought my nokia 5230. But i dont know how to make my mobile password protected, without using any external software.
Please provide me the steps the do it.
Thank you

Menu-->Settings-->Phone-->Phone Management-->Security-->Phone and SIM Card-->and set the LOCK CODE...
Default lock code is 12345.
Note that if you forget the Code then you will have to get it reset to the default code ONLY at Nokia Care..and there will be charges incurred for the service. You also tend to lose all your data during this Reset..so keep regular back-ups..

Nokia 5230 v 21.0.004 phone lock problem

hi, I've recently updated my nokia 5230 to v. 21.0.004 software/firmware. After I turn off and turn it on back again, It asks for phone lock code, I entered standard code 12345, its says code error, but still I can use my phone. The phone management setting for phone lock is off, I tried to change the phone lock code, but after I re-enter the new code, it says "you've entered the wrong code five times, you can unlock in five minutes" or something like that. Is anyone have the same problem with me or have a solution for it. Thanks

if you can still access full function of your phone, reset your phone to factory setting. It is also recommended to do factory reset before formating(soft rest/hard reset) phone or firmware update. And disable phone lock. Some users reported that same code(used earlier) is not recognise by the phone after soft reset and firmware update

Nokia 5230 Hardlocked sim

Hi all
I am new here and its the first time I am writing a post so if I am at the wrong section please forgive me.
I have recently purchased a nokia 5230 nuron from eBay and at the site it said that the phone was unlocked but it wasn't. It was giving me the massage of an invalid sim card so I emailed the guy and he gave me some unlock codes to do it. I have tried them and nothing happend so I google a few stuff and found out that I hardlocked the phone and now it might be unusable. Is there any help that you can provide me with or the phone is useless now?
Thanks a lot in advance.

As Scooby said early, the Nokia Care Point can reset the counter giving you 3 more attempts to enter your code. What they won't do is to unlock it for you or give you te unlock code. You will still need to get the unlock code from the network it is locked to. Since your phone is from Spain, chances are it is locked to a Spanish network. Proof of ownership is going to be difficult as you are not the original owner and do not have the original receipt. You could ask the seller for the receipt or better still the unlock codes but chances are if they had access to either, the phone would already be unlocked.
My advice would be to return it to seller for a refund because the item is not as described.

Nokia 5230 - problem: SILENT while calling!!

Hi!
I've been using my nokia 5230 about a month. Recently i'm faced with a very annoying problem:
When i call somebody or receive a call the phone gets SILENT. That means i don't hear the voice whom i'm calling (or who is calling me). But the person whom i'm calling (or who calls me) hears my voice. This problem doesn't appear every time but occasionally. I've the latest firmware on my phone.
I'm really frustrating about it. Imagine you get an very important call and your phone doesn't work properly.
I'm very thankful if somebody can help me!

Thanks.
I had the exact same problem.
I did a full backup using the updated OVI suite, and then followed your directions:
back up all your data first type in *#7370# security code is 12345
It performed the reset, but I could still not hear callers using the handset; my volume is turned all the way UP.
The speaker phone works fine, and music plays fine, the only problem being I am unable to hear a caller through the phone unless I turn it on speaker.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Just an FYI for others; after the reset all text messages were wiped out. When using the RESTORE function on the updated OVI suite, NOT all of the text messages that were backed up were restored.
Thank you.

Installation 'General Error' Nokia 5230

I cannot install the latest Ovi Maps on my Nokia 5230 as each time the installation fails with 'General Error' as the message. On clicking the blue i-button it merely says the error has occurred and instructs to try to install again. I have tried repeatedly.
The phone memory shows 12mb free.
Can anyone tell me what to do to achieve installation please?

Factory settings reset - Type *#7780# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). This reset restores the phone's original settings.
Soft reset/reformat - Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code.
Warning!Soft reset wipes your C drive/phone memory!
Hard reset - Switch the phone off. Press and hold three keys together, the green key, the * key and the number '3'. While you are holding these keys, switch the phone on. Don't release these three keys before you see the NOKIA logo.
Warning! Hard reset (as soft reset does) wipes the C (phone memory) drive.
Hard reset for 5800; Press and hold green + red + multimedia button and turn the phone on at the same time.
Hard reset for N97; Press shift + space + delete and turn the phone on at the same time. Don't let the three keys before you see the NOKIA logo.
Hard reset for other S60v5 phones; press green + red + camera key and turn the phone on at the same time.

Nokia 5230 Lock issue

Hello,
I am using a Nokia 5230 with firmware version 20.0.005. Recently I have unsubscribed my data plan and deleted all the access points in the Connectivity settings. The issue started to happen whenever i locked the phone and after some time the Select connection message comes up. I am not able to unlock the screen when this message is shown and the only solution is to remove the battery and insert it to make the phone accessible. Recently I also changed the setting of MMS connectivity and S/W update to manual, but the problem still exists. Have any one faced this issue and please let me know if there is a solution. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum!
Although you would need to backup essential data first, you could always consider resetting device to "out of box" state by keying in *#7370# on dialler followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself).

My Nokia 5230 blurs, any help?

My Nokia 5230 has started to blur (there're lines shaking vertically) when i click the red button or unlock it. This doesn't happen all he time. I did some search and i found this is a common problem even for 5800. I have updated the firmware to the latest version. Is there any solution other than taking it to the store?

Why don't bring it to a Nokia care point immediately and get the problem out of this world?
Edit: What you could do though, if you want to eliminate software failure of any kind is to:
1: remove the memory card and check how the phone behaves without it.
2: Remove Sim and see how the phone behaves without it.
3: do a soft reset. This will wipe your phone memory so make sure you make a backup using ovi suit or nokia pc suite, or the onboard backup client (I suggest backing up to your computer).
Now, don't install your backups yet, but wait and see how the device behaves.
If the phone is still behaving like you mentioned, you will have to seek help at a Nokia care
point.
Note that these moves are likely not to fix such behavior and that it is that last thing you should be doing, but it might be worth a try if you want to try everything before you take it to a Nokia care point.
The choice is yours! Good luck mate!

Call log issue in nokia 5230

Hi all,
i am having an issue in call log in my nokia 5230. It is logging call details only for 15 days in spite of making selection for 30 days. I am surprise to see it , when 15 days option it not available in the list, how it is happening.
I have reloaded the software twice from Nokia site & several times selection for 30 days call log is selected, but all in vain. Can anybody help??
Thanks & regards

How did you reload the firmware? Did you backup the data and perform a reset using *#7370# before reloading? Try and reply.

Nokia 5230 v40.0.003 - Contacts Bar Missing

Hi there, thanks for reading.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5230. I've had my phone about 9 months, and I've been very happy with it. Today I finally got round to installing the v40.0.003 firmware update.
All went well except...
Ovi Maps not updating (which I can live with)
The contact bar disappearing from the home screen (which I can't)
Searching the net found a few people with the same problem, but no solutions. I've seen mention of the appearance of the contact bar 'changing' but no definition of what this change actually is.
Here's what I've tried so far:
I checked the home-screen settings, it's still on the contacts bar theme and contacts bar is checked on the relevant screen.
I've tried changing to another theme and back, both with and without restarting the phone.
I've tried reinstalling the new firmware.
I've tried a soft reset
I've tried a hard reset
I've even tried a hard reset without the sd card followed by a re-flash.
I restored the full backup from before the update, which put most things back the way they were before the resets, but the contacts bar is still missing.
It's a feature of the phone I use a lot so I'm not happy about losing it.
If anyone can offer suggestions as to what I might have missed, I'd appreciate it. Just hope I'm not S.O.L until the next firmware update. (If it's relevant, I'm on Orange PAYG, and have access to my Fiancé's 5230 which is still on 20.0.005)
Thanks

Yes, the Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen theme is set to contacts bar
in Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen both contacts bar and shortcuts boxes are checked.
Prior to v40 I had a total of 5 contacts stored on the contacts bar and have been using it ever since i got the phone last year.
I wish it was as simple as needing to turn it on, but I did undertake basic troubleshooting (and more) before starting this thread as my first post shows.
I'm not the only one with this problem on orange either (x6 but same symptom)
/t5/Xseries/x6-contacts-bar-gone-software-prob/m-p/873775/highlight/true#M7504
Orange include their own fugly homescreen theme in their custom firmware so probably don't care if they break the other ones.
My Fiancé has a 5230 as well, she doesn't use the contact bar (so wouldn't care if it went AWOL) so I might upgrade her firmware as well to see if the same thing happens.

Nokia 5230 - cant update to v20.0.005

Just bought a Nokia 5230 from Argos. It had v11.0.079 firmware installed. I've tried updating the firmware to v20.0.005. I used the *#0000# OTA method. However, the latest firmware that it found was v12.0.089 so I installed it. I've tried again to get v20.0.005 but it says I have the latest firmware.
I'm on a Vodafone contract that I've been on for the last 5-6 years. I have it at half price so never get a phone upgrade so I always just buy a new phone every couple of years or so. I'm on such a good tariff that I prefer to keep it that way.
Any ideas why I can't get the v20.0.005 firmware? I haven't tried it via the PC yet as I dont have the required cable (where can I get one of these?).
Thanks

Firmware is tied to product code not phone model .
In your case it will be Vodaphone at fault .
