I'd appreciate pointers on the following situation.

The phone in question is a 3510i - not mine, so I am a bit late on the problem. Some 4 or so days ago, too much stuff was apparently downloaded onto it, and the phone shut down. Won't turn on since. I assume it was a case of memory cache being overloaded or something.

Now, I got this phone and try to reason with it. I put it in the charger for a few hours first, so it's loaded. If I try to turn it on, I can get its screen to light up for a second, but there's no PIN prompt or anything, it shuts down again. Now, I know the Nokia reset code, so if I could get to the main menu, I'd be able to wipe it clean.

Question is... any tips on how can I get it that far, or, alternatively, is there another way to reset the phone memory, like some jumpers on the scheme maybe similar to how one can clear a computer BIOS with the right motherboard jumpers?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, but sorry, I'm a bit clueless on that one. So it can be done with phones as old as 3510i, even with them not turning on properly? I assume I need some equipment?

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently I found that I need some software and a connector. Thanks.

Hello,

Yes you will need GRIFFIN, UFS2/3 or other Nokia Flashing Devices to solve the problem of not turning On due to excessive download. You can detect early the problem when you start encountering slowness or hanging problem when available memory is becoming LOW.
