How to Full Format your bricked N8?

neois | 11 October, 2010 21:39

Many guys here face the "brick" problem after trying to play with FontRouter. So I have to find the way to recover it and at last I found one. (And I have to warn you here that DON'T USE FontRouter ON YOUR N8 OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE)

Here is the method to full format and make bricked N8 come alive again:

1) Turn off your phone

2) Hold "Volume Down + Camera Key + Menu Key" and press power button until your phone shake

3) Wait until screen show properly... and welcome back!! 

Please note that I found these problems after doing full format:

1. I lost Ovi Maps. However, you could reinstall it by download it here

2. I also lost Ovi Store 2.0 and I can't reinstall it since it always show "Unable to install".

So please DON'T do full format if not neccessary or actually I must say that DO IT ONLY AS YOUR LAST CHOICE.

I found out why I couldn't Ovi Store 2.0

It's because full format destroyed Qt Runtime so I couldn't install Qt-based Ovi Store 2.0. At last I have to reflash it at Nokia Shop and everything works perfectly now.

So let me repeat again "DON'T DO IT IF NOT NECCESSARY"

Only choice is to go to Nokia Care and ask them to flash firmware for your N8

Is it equivalent to the
"Delete data and restore" option? In Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings >

ovi store
