N95 Broken, will not install any more aps or let me delete anything

MaxCherry · 23-01-2008, 12:14

Anyone else had this problem?

I tried to use EmTube the other day and it wouldnt open. I tried to delete it and uninstall which didnt not work REMOVAL FAILED error message regardless of whether I do it from the app itself, or through APP MANAGER.

I tried to install ybrowser to try and remove but this would not install CORRUPT FILE

I tried to reinstall EmTube, CORRUPT file

Now it wont let me open or delete any apps.

Any ideas?

Have you tried turning off your phone, taking out the battery and waiting for a good few minutes before re-assembling?

If that doesn't work then try re-formatting your phone (you will lose all your data etc, so make sure you have a backup) *#3730#

If that doesn't work then you will have to send it away for repair.

Try reinstalling firmware before sending it off for repairs.

It's *#7780# to restore the N95 to factory default.

If that doesn't work, switch of the phone, hold down *, 3 and the green phone pick-up key. Switch back on. Should do a complete reset.

Again, make sure you're backed up!

Thanks you guys for these responses. Im gonna try this when I finish work.

Most of my stuff is saved on the memory or sim card...but what other stuff will I lose? Text messages and such?

Thanks again for your help

You'll lose anything you added or changed since you got it. Contacts, Calendar entries, installed programs/games, notes, email settings etc etc.

Backing up to memory card is fine, and when you re-insert the card it'll reload anything it finds on there.
