Do the following to completely wipe your Nokia N82 device.
- Type *#7370# from the standby screen
- Enter the lock code (default 12345)
N.B. Don’t forget to backup data in the phone memory. Content on the memory card is not affected by the above.

Do not forget *#7780#, which restores all .ini-files (phone settings) from ROM but preserves User Data (photos, 3rd party apps etc).
To understand the codes, look at the characters:
*#7370# = *#RES_# (reset, deep)
*#7780# = *#RST_# (reset, normal)
Just like the above codes, also try:
*#MAC_WLAN# (wlan mac)
*#WAR_ANTY# (life timer)
*#BTA_# (bluetooth mac)
Hi ! And do not forget to remove simcard . other wise It will not reset
how to format the n82 when the lock code is forgotten
Hello, I’ve been having a problem with my N82 since yesterday, I’ve tried everything and it still has the problem. Know I want to do the hard reset but the problem is that the phone does not turn on, when I press the on/off button to turn it on it stays on a black screen with all the lights on and the only way to turn the lights off is to take out the battery. I’ve tried press 3+*+green button to turn it but doesn’t work.. What can I do???
Hello Maria, I had faced the same problem as yours and i was said by the Nokia Customer Care that the phone is dead and will replace it. As said they replaced it within 15-20 days. I hope this helps you.
Hi all! I started this blog mainly as a way to document my own work on different private projects. I will try to be more attentative to your questions. Meanwhile, I must say that I do appreciate you all contributing and helping each other out.
To Maria: I agree with Ravi that it sounds like a hardware issue.
To Aparajith Guha: I assume you mean that the lock code has been changed from 12345 and you don’t remember the new code. I haven’t tested it but you may want to search the Internet for THE-NOKIA-UNLOCK. It sounds as if it could help you out.
Good luck to you both!

I m using a Nokia N82 and 6630. Both my phone are giving me the same problem, which i have been unable to sort out. There is sufficient memory on both, the phone as well as the memory card, but when i try to send text messages, it says “memory full: close some applications”. I have updated the softwares and also used the reset codes, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
I have found a severe problem. if i press one key in my n82, everytime it automatically showing 3/4 numbers. for example, if I press “5”, it shows “7519”….i dont think it’s a hardware prob. becoz, this thing is happening for all the keys except 2,8,*,#
what can I do? i can’t enter into the phone becoz i locked it with ADL device lock and now I can’t use the passcode becoz of this random key pressings. plz help me. my email ID s.zohan@live.com
Will anybody mention that resetting requires the PHONE LOCK CODE, and this is the thing what we are looking for.
