How to hard reset a Nokia C7?

[Pony]

I am using a Nokia C7 and I wanted it to hard reset it. The reason for the hard rest is that my phone is going virus prone and I wanted to remove the virus that might be their in the files and folders which I have made. And also the phone has been connected with the computers many a times and there are chances that the phone should have contracted the virus. I wanted to do hard reset for the only reason that my phone is also working slow due to this problem but I am not sure that this be the only problem with it (i.e virus). Please give me the solutions for this as I needed it to be urgently done.

1. Simultaneously hold the home button, camera button and the volume button.
2. After that with the same buttons you got to click the power on button until the phone vibrates.
3. After the procedure is complete release the power on button while still holding the three buttons simultaneously and you got to wait till you hear the nokia sound.

This will hard reset your mobile phone and you got to wait till all the processes are carried out and it will take some time.

There is one more combination number which can be used for the all Symbian phones. The combination of the numbers of the *#7370# and also the *#7780# can be used for the Hard reset option. This is only used for the Symbian phones and not for any of the phones. The code may or may not full proof but it has yielded better results in many of the Symbian phones and should also work for the C7.

However hard resetting can cause you the lose of all the important data that you have in your phone. If you have got a virus related issue then you can try the various virus console that are available in the computers and also try the nokia system's virus console where you get to learn the different virus that can affect the Symbian phone.

You have an another option that you can contact the retailer regarding the issue and he will surely give you a better view as to how the hard reset can be done on your phone.
