thanks bro i owe u one
when i want to make a “hard reset”, after entered the code *#7370#, its asking me a another locked code with numbers, anyone can help thx ?
ok i found it, its 12345
My web browser doesn’t open any more, I click over the browser link and does nothing, I’ve tried to open it for menu, quick access, wifi connector etc.. it does the same … I’ve tried soft reset and it still doesn’t work do you recommend hard reset ?? will I lose all my contacts info?
Ooh gosh i just wrote a long comment and when i hit post it came up blank! Please please tell me it worked right? I dont want to sumit it again if i dont have to! Either the blog bugged out or i am an idiot, the latter doesnt surprise me lol.
First take backup of your phone memory to memory card before doing hard reset.
is there any SECURED WIFI hacking application forr 5530 ?
So what can you do if the virtual keyboard refuses to appear onscreen when you press the “telephone” button? The 4 x shortcut touch areas are now blank and when u click on them, nothing happens. heeeelp!
i’m same with mark.. how can i do if the “telephone” button doesn’t work??
Same problem as mark. I’ve tried to reset to factory settings in the phone menu. Doesn’t seem to have done much. Phone is going back as soon as I can wipe it. I hope Nokia sort the problems out, because I really like it apart from the (multiple) glitches
Same problem as Bily, Sam an Mark there is any fix over there, I really tried and looked for a fix without any success.
i done a soft reset on the nokia 5530 and now when i turn it on i cant click anything, i click the menu button in the middle and it claims the phone is locked, so went i push down the unlock button it says the same, WTF?
PROBLEM, MY PHONE CAN´T TURN ON…..IS NOT THE BATERY . WHAT CAN I DO?.PLEASE HELP ME!!! IS NEW..
The same as Mark, can’t press telephone button, but also quick app launcher dissapear and cant see my contacts. I soft reset with no success turn off an on, erase from my computer memory card and internal memory (without any change).
Any ideas?
if your nokia n97 crashes and not open at all,press shift space and backspace and power button.left pwbutton and keep hold the other three buttons until phone starts.enjoyyy
WOW! cool…
I can fix my problem, actually we downloaded program which have the newer software from the software in our Handphone , so we must update the newest software in our phone..
it little that i can help to Victor, Billy, an Mark.
i’m sorry if my english is bad.
Sam, tks, but, the newer software downloaded directly from your phone or from the nokia site? Which version downloaded?? My actually version on my phone is 10.0.50.211.04 Tks!!!
I had the same problem but u can access the touchpad phone through your contacts lists: just call someone randomly but don’t give it the change to connect. end the call and if your lucky the phone appears. I don’t know why but it doesn’t work every time i’ve tried to find what it is that’s doing this but i can’t put my finger on it :p (lame joke
made it unintentionally). But if you can get the touchpad u can simply type in the hard reset code which is above and i’m too lazy to scroll all the way up to type it here for you. And the hard reset made the two buttons on my home screen (contacts and telephone) work again. If the touchpad seems to disappear whithout you doing something don’t worry cause it’s in your applications shortcut thingy. Sorry for the way too long explanation since i’m not sure it’ll work for everybody but it worked with my cell so… I found it by just messin around with the contacts a little press this butten there and that one there and then sometimes a touchpad popped right out.
So Vic, bill and Mark and all the others.
GOOD LUCK,
Hope i could be of some assistance
I had an issue where the Nokia 5530 phone would hang at the Nokia screen after being powered on. I found a tip on the Nokia WEB site to remove the SD card before turning the phone on. This worked for me. I then reinserted the SD Card, powered off and back on the phone. Everything was working again. You can try to remove the battery for about 20 minutes to reset the phone. I have had this work as well.
*#7370#
The above code is solution to every problem except hardware.
thanks for sharing it.

Hi there… My problem on updating my 5530xm is the installation itself.. I always encounter disconnection on my phone to my pc whenever I start the installation update… But the instructions says “do not bother on the disconnection notification of the pc”… And end up into a device recovery… I could not update my phone… Could someone help??
>to those who made an update recently, how did you do it? any advice???
Whoa. Sounds like you guys are having hell with your 5530′s. Ive only had one Massive problem and that was the missing home screen buttons bug which was resolved by using the hard reset. To access the numeric keypad You have to press the middle (White) menu button then press the “Green” call button then enter *#7370#. This is the Hard reset so take out your memory card out of your phone before doing so but do not back up as it might back up the bug as well.
Hope you guys have luck. And upgrade to the newest firmware Asap.
I updated my phone through Menu>Settings>Phone>Pone Mgmt.>Device Updates>Options>check for Updates.
Works fine for me and i hope you all have the same luck as me

THANKS MICHAEL, the “white” and “Green” tip works for me… none of the others do it “remove SD or battery)…. USE THIS TIP !!!!!

I am unable to update my Nokia 5530 using the Software Updater app in ‘Applications’. It is showing that I need to download the latest phone software which I presume to be the latest Firmware, however when I click ‘Start Update’ nothing happens.
When I attempt to update other pieces of software i.e. nokia messenger, OVI, using the same method the software downloads perfectly.
Any ideas??

Yes , I agree that *#7370# solve my problem
unable to send SMS message, but be sure to copy your contact details
or sync it to your PC using Outlook to retrieve again,
then remove your SIM card before rebooting your phone, after the rebooting, off your cellphone insert your SIM card then “ON” it again.

*#7370# woowwwww thankzzzzz it works thank god i was abt to sell my 5530 and now i love it
i cannot open ovi store, nor go onto the internet. i have a perfect connection to the internet, if i click ‘web’ or ‘ovi store’ my phone instantly has a black screen for around 3seconds.
i have tried the *#7370# code .. not the hard reset!
any suggestions please??
no no no
My phone is not accepting my sim….its in offline mode….will the hard reset solve it?
Hi!
I have tried the code restored *#7780# but the divice screen display that I have to finish first all calls and internet connection. This is perhaps that I have finished at half the 31.0.005 version of the update and cannot continue to download. If someone can help me how to deal with, it’ll be very kind, thanks.
Hey these r great and they really work!!!!!!!!! cheers !!!!!!!!!!
thnk bro i own u save my baby
I updated my 5530 with the V 30.0.009 and the phone dies when I attempt to make a call or when I answer a call. It was working perfectly until Nokia sent me the “update”. Does anyone know if it is possible to undo an updade?
My 5530 had the restarting issue since the Day 1.
Actually, it did that while I was in the store and haven’t even left home. I got used to it, but it makes me very angry at times.
It never restarts during calls, only when I send SMS.
After about 5th-6th SMS, delivery report is about to arrive and phone reboots. Not necessarily tied to reports, but I have nothing else to suspect.
I haven’t turned them off yet to try if this is the problem, but will do it just now.
Telephone arrived with F/W v20.0.000 I believe, and was then updated to v30 and now to v31.0.005. Nothing changed, only the home screen contact bar is more annoying than it was :/
By the way, I haven’t tried hard reset. I need some psychological preparation beforehand in case it all goes down to hell.
how install back my chines character and pin yin input sorfware after ive updated my firmware v30……
Is there an alternate method for the hard reset for the 5530 Xpressmusic as I have the screen lock problem that people describe so cannot call up the dialler, and the green key/red key/camera key method does not appear to work?
@Richard:
Have you checked if (computer) software has the option of restoring your phone to factory defaults? If it has, you can do that and then hit the dialer for the phone hard reset.
Six – thanks for the reply but when I connect via USB to a PC the phone is not being “seen”. It think this has something to do with the screen being locked at all times!
