How to Hard Reset — Nokia 130

⏱ ~5 min📋 3 steps

The Nokia 130 is a 2014 device with 4MB and 4MB internal storage. It features a 1.8", TFT, 65K colors, 128.0x160.0 display and is available in Red, black, white.

The 130 is equipped with a Li-Ion 1020 mAh, removable (BL-5C). The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 68.6 g.

Hard Reset on the Nokia 130 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 130 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
