How to Hard Reset — Nokia 100

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Nokia 100 is a 2011 device. It features a 1.8", TFT, 65K colors, 128.0x160.0 display and is available in Legion Blue, Festival Pink, Ocean Blue Phantom Black, Coral Red.

The 100 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 850 mAh battery (BL-5CB). The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 69.6 g.

Hard Reset on the Nokia 100 works differently than it does on Android, since this phone uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.

💡

On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.

1

Nokia 100 is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone

2

The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below

3

If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
