    • Turn the phone off.

    • Press and hold the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it and press and hold the volume down button until you see the exclamation mark on the screen.

    • Another way to do this - press and hold the volume down button and connect the charger.

    • Whit the exclamation mark on the screen press this sequence of keys:

    • -> Volume Up

    • -> Volume Down

    • -> Power button

    • -> Volume Down

    Mine won't go to ! It keeps rebooting to Nokia

    My phone ignores the sequence. It was set up as a child phone, and there’s no “reset phone” button in the about menu. It in fact doesn’t even have the about menu. And trying to reset it using buttons, I get exclamation mark, and once I push the Volume Up button, it starts to boot normally and ignores the rest.

    non riesco a resettare il mio lumia, sarà perchè il sistema operativo è stato aggiornato con il 10?

    qualcuno può suggerirmi qualcosa?

Yes if you have the numbers stored somewhere not on the phone then you just have to re add them

I have done it but still facing the same problem. The problem is that my sister has given me Nokia Lumia 635 and it is having a problem of ‘This device is locked to a specific mobile operator. Contact your mobile operator for the unlock code.

how on god’s green earth are you going to do this “to reassemble your device follow this backward” bro, it’s a Fudging factory reset, not a dissasembaly

Hallo, ich habe noch ein altes Nokia RM 974 in grün. Ich habe einen Hard-Reset durchgeführt. Nach den beiden Zahnrädern kommt aber leider nur ein ablehnendes und es resettet neu, und alles wiederholt sich. Haben Sie dafür eine Lösung?
